Book Description
"A fabulously rich, anecdotal and gripping account of those men and women who ventured out from Britain into the swamps and jungles of the tropics in search, knowingly or not, of the missing link. Through their stoical-sometimes crack-brained-voyages, the shape of the world, geographically and biologically, was elucidated. Never have more significant journeys been made. . . . Enthusiastic, informed and racy, this is one of the most invigorating accounts of the exploits of people from an age whose intrepidity is staggering. ' 'Peter Raby's book follows a disparate crew of botanists, scientists and collectors, who tried to order the earthly paradise which unfolded around them. Entrepreneurs they may have been - many were dependent on selling their specimens to finance their trips-but they were also scrupulous and sensitive observers. . . . Raby finds some shimmering, personalities. . . . His book is excellent. ' DAILY TELEGRAPH"

Book Description
“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html by St. Nikolai of Serbia (Velimirovic) The victory of Christ is the only victory by which all human beings can rejoice from the primordial to the last. Every other victory on earth has divided people. When one king of the earth triumphs over another king, one of them rejoices, and the other mourns. When a person defeats his neighbor, then under one roof - a song, and under the other - crying. But there is no triumphant joy on earth that is not poisoned by gloating: the ordinary earthly winner rejoices as much as his laughter, so much and the tears of the defeated enemy. He himself does not notice how anger half dilutes his joy.
