If polar exploration interests you then this is one of the very best.

Went through a big polar exploration phase of reading.

Fascinating subject.

Scott & Amundsen by Huntford is excellent.

The Worst Journey in the world by Apsley Cherry-Garrard is very good.

I read those two books many years ago, the former was a superb read but very harsh on Scott, Cherry-Garrard suffered mental health problems for the rest of his life after his ordeal.

Scott seems the Frank Spencer of the turn of the centrury Antarctic exploration scene .

Stumbling from one mishap to another.

Say Nothing was a great read, the details of the killing of Jean McConville are laid out in all their horror and cruelty, no wonder the Shinners hate it and books like it which expose the sheer wickedness of their terror campaign.

Say Nothing is a brilliant book,one of the best I've read over the last few years.

Currently reading "Manifest" by my good friend RoxY Nafousi, a gripping and inspiring read.

This book is taking me deeper into my inner healing journey and expanding my understanding of each of the unique seven steps to manifestation. RoxY provides practical techniques to teach you how to harness your potential and confidently step into your power. ​

Each chapter is filled with exercises for you to complete that are designed to cultivate self-awareness, reflection and growth, and therefore empower and enhance your manifesting process. It's a meeting of science and wisdom, manifesting is a self-development practice that will enable you to reach your goals, cultivate self love and live your best life. ​

In short, it's a roadmap to a more positive life.
