As Told at The Explorers Club: More Than Fifty Gripping Tales of Adventure (Explorers Club Classic) Review

Incorporated in 1905, The Explorers Club in its earliest years met in simple rented rooms. In 1965, the Club bought a Tudor-style mansion on East 70th Street in the historic Upper East Side, where it has remained ever since.

Celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2004, today The Explorers Club is an international society dedicated to the advancement of field research, scientific exploration, and the ideal that it is vital to preserve the instinct to explore.

This volume is dedicated to the spirit of exploration. Assembled by Club member and literary giant George Plimpton, As Told by the Explorer's Club will take you from Amundsen to Lindbergh, from the Arctic to Antarctica, and all points in between.

Worlds to Explore: Classic Tales of Travel and Adventure from National Geographic

Worlds to Explore: Classic Tales of Travel and Adventure from National Geographic Review

"These stories are like potato chips; one is never enough, and they're all but impossible not to devour in rapid succession. Moreover, they lend themselves to repeat reading..." —Library Journal

"Suiting the armchair as well as they did as long as a century ago, these articles will be popular indeed." —Booklist

Worlds to Explore evokes that bygone era in which the pages of National Geographic were as close as most people could get to high adventure and faraway lands. The 54 tales reproduced here immerse today's readers in wonder and thrill of exploration before the age of mass tourism. Along with notable explorers such as Edmund Hillary, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and Teddy Roosevelt, other less famous travelers take us to places few Americans had ventured before. We follow as "An Unbeliever Joins the Hadj," trek "Across Tibet from India to China," and take "A Round Trip to Davy Jones's Locker."

Introduced by brief essays that provide context and perspective, these engaging selections speak for themselves—and trace the National Geographic Society's growth as it explored the unknown and brought it home to readers eager for knowledge of "the world and all that is in it."

Arouse and excite your sexual desires and fetish fantasies with these hot sexy tales of seduction, romance and lascivious lust!

From the book:

"They were taken into the Whipping Room. Lord Brumm, at the sight of the two tall young women armed with whips, cried,
'No, no ! I won't have it - '
He got no further with his protest, for he was instantly gagged, his hands and feet tied, and his robe thrown from his shoulders. Then one of the women, with a laughing face and a roguish eye, laid twelve lashes on his back.
Earl Lavender, without waiting for instructions, bared his shoulders, clasped his hands on his breast and stood still. The second woman, who possessed great beauty, at once inflicted with sufficient vigour a dozen lashes. His fair chastiser approved of his conduct with a charming smile, and having handed him the whip, exposed her own back. Lightly Earl Lavender brought down the scourge. How could he score the soft white shoulders of this beautiful woman! But she turned to him and said, 'Do not spare me. Put forth your strength, or I will leave you.'
Convinced of the lady's sincerity, Earl Lavender then laid on lustily, and was astonished to find what enjoyable work it was."

ABOUT THE PUBLISHER: EROTIC EVOLUTION E-BOOKS
(Publishers of Classic Erotic Literature and Love Stories - Fully Illustrated with Nude Art Photography)

Erotic Evolution publish quality erotic sex stories for Kindle eBooks. After reviewing several hundred famous romance and Victorian erotic novels (previous bestsellers and banned books) we have selected the best erotic sex stories based on the sexual content, character and story development, quality of erotic literature and types of sex scenes (they are clearly connected - sex is better when the stories and characters are 'real').
We publish provocative 'hardcore' sex in literature (previously classified as pornography and banned) simply because this reflects the truth of our sexual evolution - sex is central to our existence and connects back to our primitive wild animal instincts. We can creatively cultivate our sexuality to be moral and beautiful - but also hot, sexy and smutty - to make the most of our primitive passions of love and lust, pleasure and pain!
Reading quality erotic books cultivates the sexual side of our mind, enhances our sexual lust, and adds spice and variety to our sex lives, thus we think you will love our collection of sexually provocative erotic fiction and sex stories - in thought and action.

"The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything." (Friedrich Nietzsche)

"Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

The Burlesque Adventures of the Lustful Earl Lavender is beautifully illustrated with provocatively sexual erotic art (for guys and girls) and has been carefully hand formatted for Kindle e-books (with linked table of contents).

Classic Feynman: All the Adventures of a Curious Character

Classic Feynman: All the Adventures of a Curious Character Review

An omnibus edition celebrating a great scientific mind and a legendary American original including a live recording.

Richard Feynman (1918-1988) thrived on outrageous adventures. In the phenomenal national bestsellers "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" the Nobel Prize-winning physicist recounted in an inimitable voice his adventures trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek, painting a naked female toreador, accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums, solving the mystery of the Challenger disaster, and much else of an eyebrow-raising, hugely entertaining, and astounding nature. One of the most influential and creative minds of recent history, Feynman also possessed an unparalleled ability as a storyteller, a delightful coincidence celebrated in this special omnibus edition of his classic stories. Now packaged with an hour-long audio CD of the 1978 "Los Alamos from Below" lecture, Classic Feynman offers readers a chance to finally hear a great tale in the orator's own voice.
