This book examines in detail for the first time the screen legacy of the great Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. It encompasses the pioneering expedition films he made during the period spanning 1909 to 1922, and the documentary and drama productions he has inspired since. The book provides a unique and original approach to understanding Shackleton, including the first detailed account of the original Antarctic documentary film recording the achievements of the Nimrod expedition in 1909. This pioneering film is now lost and its content little-known, but it is here outlined in some detail from a range of contemporary sources. Making reference to much original source material (film, diaries, contemporary newspapers and journals) that has not been unearthed by previous authors, this volume presents a fresh perspective on the subject. Also included is an extensive filmography with over 100 entries spanning 1908 to 2024.

Captain Scott and Roald Amundsen were giants of South Polar exploration in the years prior to World War I, and their expeditions have inspired a number of notable documentary and drama films. These films have proved both historic and controversial, and form an absorbing narrative around the race to the Pole. This book presents the circumstances of how the films came to be made, production and shooting details, how they were presented to the viewing public, the impact and impression they created on release, and a critical commentary on how the productions now stand up. From the original expedition films, to a wide range of later documentary and drama productions, this book includes analyses of the various films of Scott's photographer Herbert Ponting, including The Great White Silence and Amundsen's lesser-known Sydpolens Erobring, as well as reference to much previously unearthed original source material (film, diaries, contemporary newspapers and journals) providing a fresh perspective on the subject. Meticulously researched and thoroughly illustrated, this second volume on the topic also includes an extensive filmography with over 60 entries.

While speed is the number one cause of car accidents in the United States, government corruption is at the root of why speeders speed. Laws are no good if the police are not going to enforce them. There is no finer example of this corruption than what happened to me on the night of March 5, 2022. But that all depends on who you believe, what you believe, and how good you can process information. At around 9:30pm, I was ran over by a pretty little girl named Zoey King. Or so she claims. Her brother was in the car and it was his car. Witnesses said they switched places after the accident. At any rate, the police knew the little girl and her family. She was 18 and they did not want to get her into trouble, so they blamed me for the accident. One of the cops, a real skirt chaser, went out of his way to fabricate evidence, alter facts, and actively coverup for the girl he had the hots for. She could do no wrong. Zoey King and her brother, Jacob King, both claimed that she had almost completely stopped before hitting me. Almost stopped? I had broke my skull in two places, my right eye shattered into three pieces, my right arm was broke, my right shoulder was broke, my left foot was broke, my back was broken in two places, my neck was broke, I had 2nd and 3rd degree road rash all over my body from sliding on the asphalt, and both adrenal glands were hemorrhaging. I almost died. Almost stopped? The number one cop claimed that I was drunk and just nonchalantly stepped out in front of poor Zoey. He was playing the odds. 68yo man barhopping on a Saturday night...he had to be drunk. I was tested at two hospitals, blood and urine, no trace of either alcohol or drugs Drunk? But they were not done framing me for Zoey's recklessness. She hit me at more than double the legal speed limit. But it was my fault. Because the police believed the pretty little thing, nobody administered first aid. No ambulance was summoned for 15 minutes. Though I was only 1/2 mile from the hospital, it took 45 minutes for me to get there. It is only by the grace of God that I did not die. The worst part is not that I lost an eye and continue to suffer from pain and broken bones, the worst part is that I cannot get an attorney to sue them. The reason will shock you. This should not be happening in America, but it is. And I'm pissed.
You will not find this education at you brokers how to section. Most likely you will not find this information anywhere on this book section on any other book store. I have paid thousands of dollars on exclusive groups and paid forums to collect the information presented in this book. As you can imagine these are the highly guarded secrets of the elite of the FOREX traders, no one gives their living away, unless you pay them a price worth their living. However I have decided to make this information for ridiculously low price, because I am fed up with the brokers and the big banks taking advantage of the regular retail trader. Let me ask you a question? When was the last time you make money with FOREX? Even further more how much money you are willing to lose, until you give up? How long you will continue to give your hard earned money to the broker? Just like you I started 5 years ago with high hopes of quitting my job and leaving the live I deserve with FOREX.
