Journal of a Voyage of Discovery to the Arctic Regions, Performed 1818, in His Majesty's Ship Alexander, Wm. Edw. Parry, Esq. Lieut. and Commander
ISBN: 9781108042246 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This journal, published in 1819 and generally attributed to Alexander Fisher, assistant surgeon of the Alexander, describes Sir John Ross' abortive expedition to search for the North-West Passage. Ross' own report of the voyage (also reissued in this series) was highly controversial, and William Edward Parry (1790 1855), who had commanded the Alexander, was sent by the Admiralty early in 1819 to continue the mission instead of his former superior. Fisher's account, which he insists is 'strictly true', begins with details of the generous provisions and special cold-weather equipment on the...

The True Red Sea Crossing to the True Mount Sinai
ISBN: 9781937129286 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The traditional route of the Exodus, which has the children of Israel wading in shallow water through an area north of the Gulf of Suez while the tide was out, has never appealed to thinking Bible readers as the crossing matching the Biblical account. Not any more than the traditional Mount Sinai in the Sinai Peninsula meets the Biblical grounds for the correct Mountain of God. Especially when Paul, under inspiration, tells us in Galatians 4:25 that it was in Arabia.
It is my desire that the reader will find this information corresponds to the Bible, as I did. After many years of Bible... The traditional route of the Exodus, which has the children of Israel wading in shallow water through an area north of the Gulf of Suez while the tide...
