‎This book explores the broad scope of political, economic, and social aspects of relations between Central Europe (focused on Poland and the lands of the Czechs) and Ireland. Taking a longitudinal approach, this study charts the interaction between the western and the central-eastern peripheries of Europe from the Middle Ages to the period after the Third Partition of Poland-Lithuania in 1795. The authors examine how the relationship between the geographically opposite ends of Europe evolved. Shaped by the shifts of political tectonic plates they argue that the evolution can be described in general terms: from a largely unidirectional to an interconnected chain of events. This book demonstrates similarities and analyses differences in a complex, yet unexplored, past of the three emergent nations; nations which in the public perception were overshadowed by their mighty neighbours for far too long.- Chapter 1.

‎The Cambridge Expedition to Vatnajokull - 04‎

‎Title: The Cambridge Expedition to Vatnajokull, 1932. Author: ROBERTS, Brian Publisher: London: Royal Geographical Society, 1933. Notes & Condition: An interesting summary of previous expeditions to Vatnajokull includes those of Swedes Wadell and Ygberg in 1919, the crossing from north to south and back again by the Dane, J P Koch in 1912 and the first crossing made in 1875 by Englishman, W L Watts. Roberts suggests that despite earlier efforts, knowledge of the glacier remained limited: the western and north-eastern edges were practically unexplored at the time and only one detailed map existed and that featured only the glacier's southern edge. Objectives for the Cambridge Expedition included plans to ascertain the thickness of the ice of Batnajokull and to carrout an ecological survey of representative areas, both in the desert region to the north of the ice and the coastal belt on the south. In order to maximise their time on the ice, the expedition decided to reach the central district with sledges across the ice-cap from Heinabergsjökull, rather than rely on earlier methods of travel (with ponies). The expedition was organized on a scale larger than anything previous and included geologist and zoologist F W Anderson; surveyor J A Beckett; botanist P Falk; W L S Fleming, geologist; W V Lewis, seismologis and surveyor and B B Roberts, ornithologist and leader. Setting out from Hull on June 22, the steam trawler, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, landed at Hornafjörour in the south east of Iceland four days later. The first part of the journey involved a transfer (with ponies) from Höfn to Kálfafellsstaour and the top of Heinabergsjökull, at which point the expedition continued on skis and sleds. Soft surfaces for the first week delayed the party but eventually they were rewarded by the sight of Kverdfjöll. At Brúarjökull a geological survey of the area was carried out, followed by botanical collections at Vítisvegur. Appendices feature notes on place names; the work of the surveyors - that is, the construction of two maps; geological data; Fleming's geomorphology and glaciology; a botany section which looks at the flora in Kverkfjöll and the desert as far north as the oasis Havannalindir and also on the south coast; zoology - examining the difference between scarcity of life in the desert and the teeming life of the oases, as well as meteorological notes from J A Beckett. Excerpt from the text: "Although the Icelandic glaciers far exceed in size those of the European mainland, the history of their investigation is very limited, and the knowledge we possess at present is largely due to the Icelander Thorvaldur Thoroddsen, who travelled extensively through the country from 1881 to 1898. His published work contains the most complete description so far of the island and its glacial conditions, but, despite the fact that the study of Icelandic glaciers is chiefly connected with Vatnajokull, our knowledge of this area is very limited. This amazing report picks up where the other expeditions left off to cover an in depth exploration of these natural marvels. End excerpt. 25 pages. Plus black and white plates and a large fold-out color map, measuring 13 inches x 13 inches. These are original text pages and a map printed in 1933. Stamp to the margin of the map and one plate, otherwise in very good condition. Attractively bound booklet style in recent paper covers with label. Vatnajokull is the largest ice-cap in Europe. It lies in the south-east corner of Iceland and covers an area of approximately 3400 square miles.‎

When Roman junior senator Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger has a chance to join a diplomatic mission to Alexandria he welcomes the opportunity to temporarily elude his enemies in the Eternal City-even though it means leaving his beloved Rome.

Intrigued Decius requests and is given permission by the Egyptian Pharaoh to investigate the heinous crime. What he discovers is beyond shocking.
