Waterproof, Tear-Resistant Topographic Map. The Way of Saint James, known in Spanish as Camino de Santiago - or simply El Camino (The Way) - has been one of Europe's most iconic walking routes since 9th century pilgrims began making their way to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to venerate the remains of Saint James. Though rooted in Christian tradition, the route has been reborn as a nondenominational spiritual rite and epic long distance trail that runs along Roman roads, across mountains, and through picturesque countryside and historic towns. The Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Terradillos de los Templarios Topographic Map Guide booklet makes a perfect traveling companion when traversing the central-east section of the Camino Frances (French Route). This section of the trail passes trough the historic city of Burgos and includes sections 10 - 16. A detailed description of each trail section is included that tells travelers about the many landmarks encountered along the way. Each Camino de Santiago Topographic Map Guide includes detailed topographic maps of 2 cm = 1 km. Each page is centered on the trail and overlaps with the adjacent pages so there is little chance of getting lost. Along the bottom of each page is a trail profile that shows the distance between towns, rest houses, and trail access points. The map and trail profile provide a step by step visual guide to hiking the trail. Every Great Treks map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full Lat/Long grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation. Every map purchase helps support the National Geographic Society, an impact driven, nonprofit organization with global reach that uses the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world.

The Confessions of Frances Godwin

The Confessions of Frances Godwin

Robert Hellenga

Bloomsbury Publishing USA
2015
nidottu
"The Confessions of Frances Godwin" is the fictional memoir of a retired high school Latin teacher looking back on a life of trying to do her best amidst transgressions--starting with her affair with Paul, whom she later marries. Now that Paul is dead and she's retired, Frances Godwin thinks her story is over--but of course the rest of her life is full of surprises, including the truly shocking turn of events that occurs when she takes matters into her own hands after her daughter Stella's husband grows increasingly abusive. And though she is not a particularly pious person, in the aftermath of her actions, God begins speaking to her. Theirs is a deliciously antagonistic relationship that will compel both believers and nonbelievers alike.From a small town in the Midwest to the Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome, The Confessions of Frances Godwin touches on the great questions of human existence: Is there something "out there" that takes an interest in us? Or is the universe ultimately indifferent?

"Beauties blossom aplenty in this welcome volume. The Secret Gardens of Frances Hodgson Burnett can't fail to captivate the minds and hearts of young readers and even, perhaps, plant some seeds there."--Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked, co-founder of Children's Literature New England★ "The gray drudgery of industrial Manchester, England, contrasts with the vivid floral hues of Burnett's gardens in stunning illustrations that perfectly pair with the book's timeless message: 'hope is never far for those who can imagine.'"--Foreword Reviews, Starred ReviewSecret gardens, hidden gates, flowering passageways. A picture book biography of Frances Hodgson Burnett's winding and captivating life.Frances Hodgson Burnett--best known for writing The Secret Garden, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and The Little Princess--had a difficult childhood, losing her father when she was very young and moving with her family from England to Tennessee in hopes of a better life.She'd been making up stories her entire life but didn't try to write professionally until she was a teenager to help feed her family. Her first submissions to a magazine were published and she eventually became well known all over the world. This is Hodgson Burnett's life story, told in lyrical prose evoking some of the same magic of her own stories.Additional accolades: "Burnett's own rags-to-riches story is compelling, too. The distinctive illustrations bring her gardens to life on the page through the graceful forms and rich, varied colors of trees, bushes, vines, and flowers....the theme of gardens as a source of beauty and healing is evident throughout this engaging biographical narrative."--Booklist "I am delighted to think that this lovely picture book will encourage children (and indeed their parents) to read The Secret Garden, one of the best children's books ever written."--Ann Thwaite, prize-winning British biographer, author of Beyond the Secret Garden: The Life of Frances Hodgson Burnett"Burnett's The Secret Garden is known to many, but the beautifully written and illustrated The Secret Gardens of Frances Hodgson Burnett introduces her extraordinary life to young readers, and will inspire them to create gardens of their own." --Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina, Award-winning Author of Frances Hodgson Burnett: A Life, Professor of English, Paul Murray Kendall Chair in Biography, University of Massachusetts"Angelica Carpenter tells the full and inspiring story of Frances Hodgson Burnett's ever- changing life - through hardships and fame - which she faced with her indomitable spirit and her love of words. Beyond the biographical details is a wealth of information. As the pages turn and the years pass, Helena Perez Garcia's detailed and glorious illustrations of bright bursting flowers and color are like a walk through a dazzling sunlit garden. The story and pictures reflect the undaunted spirit of a born writer who solved any problem with words and imagination." --Aliki, beloved author/illustrator of more than fifty books for children

Missing in Action Over Frances

James R Golden

Gatekeeper Press
2024
sidottu
Born on September 7, 1920, in the small town of Leesburg, Florida, James Ramsey Golden would live through both the Great Depression and WWII, arguably two of the most impactful events that shaped the United States we know today. Golden served in World War II as a fighter pilot, and after parachuting out of his damaged airplane on D-Day, he spent eleven months as a German prisoner of war at the infamous Stalag Luft III. While surviving the trials of war-and flourishing afterward-might be considered sufficient for one lifetime, Golden's path would take him through many more pivotal events of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The tumultuousness South of the 1960s, adding the country's 50th state, hosting ambassadors, befriending future president Jimmy Carter, and being among the first Americans invited to China in the late 1970s are but a few. Through it all, James Golden remained a kind and genuine man who loved family and country, grateful for-and a bit bemused by-how his life unfolded. In the warm and friendly pages of Missing in Action Over Frances: A Life Well Lived, Golden takes you on his life's story-sometimes alarming, sometimes powerful, often humorous, and always interesting.
