Antarctica Unveiled: Scott`s First Expedition And The Quest For The Un Description: Based on over fifteen years of research, Antarctica Unveiled tells the story of Robert Falcon Scott`s first Antarctic expedition, an expedition which has largely been erased from public perception by the mass attention devoted to the drama of his last expedition.David E. Yelverton first recounts the half-century of campaigning that led to a pan-European assault on the unknown continent at the dawn of the twentieth century. Then the book takes the reader along on the Discovery Expedition and into the terrain that faced Scott and his companions as they led parties into unknown and mdash; and often dauntingly mountainous and mdash; territory to bring back the data and specimens that launched a century of research. Moreover, Yelverton analyzes the inexorable factors that governed Scott`s conduct of the expedition and contrasts the poignant erosion of his hopes with the achievement of goals and mdash; proof that the Antarctic Continent existed and the location of the South Magnetic Pole and mdash; to which the expedition`s patrons attached their greatest hopes.The book concludes with an account of the build-up of the race for the Pole that was the almost inevitable aftermath of Scott`s achievement. Illustrated with more than 40 remarkable black and white photographs, Antarctica Unveiled is a must for the armchair traveler, historian, and Antarctic enthusiast....

Brother Tony`s Boys Description: Pentecostal evangelist Mario Ivan and quot;Tony and quot; Leyva was considered by many to be a true prophet of God. Clutching his black Bible, for over twenty-five years Brother Tony delivered mesmerizing sermons to millions of people. When he proclaimed his vision and version of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Leyva`s devoted followers readily gave their hard-earned dollars to one who, they thought, was clearly doing the Lord`s work. But at the same time, Brother Tony used Christianity and his status as a respected Pentecostal evangelist and prophet of God to systematically and insidiously put an end to the childhood innocence of young adolescent boys in twenty-three states. This is the hard-hitting true crime story of how Leyva and his preacher cohorts seduced, sodomized, and pimped the young sons of hundreds of unsuspecting parents who came to hear them preach. How did it happen? How could this serial pederast get away with his crimes for so long without parents` knowing? And how could these crimes against nearly a thousand boys go undetected by law enforcement for over two decades?
