Story
When gold was first discovered on the American River above Sutter's Fort in January 1848, California was sparsely populated frontier territory not yet ceded to the United States from Mexixo. The discovery triggered a massive influx as hundreds of thousands of people scrambled to California in search of riches, braving dangerous journeys across the Pacific, around Cape Horn, and through the Isthmus of Panama, as well as across America's vast, unsettled wilderness. Cities sprang up overnight, in response to the demand for supplies and services of all kinds.

Una de las fechas más significativas durante el reinado de los Reyes Católicos fue la del 12 de Octubre de 1492: el día en que Cristóbal Colón descubrió América. El hecho de que Cristóbal Colón (que no era Español de origen) acudiera a una corte extranjera para ofrecer sus servicios prueba que el descubrimiento de América no fue en modo alguno accidental.

Story
In 1856 Paul Du Chaillu marched into the equatorial wilderness of West Africa determined to bag an animal that, according to legend, was nothing short of a monster. When he emerged three years later, the summation of his efforts only hinted at what he'd experienced in one of the most dangerous regions on earth. Armed with an astonishing collection of zoological specimens, Du Chaillu leapt from the physical challenges of the jungle straight into the center of the biggest issues of the time.

Story
Il viaggio di Darwin fu un'esperienza unica nella storia della scienza: una rivoluzione scientifica nata per mare, dopo che un giovane geologo e naturalista si era imbarcato quasi per caso nel 1831 su un brigantino di Sua Maestà diretto nei Mari del Sud. Cinque anni di mal di mare, di osservazioni meticolose, di strani esperimenti antropologici e di pensieri ancora embrionali. Nessuna illuminazione improvvisa incontrando iguana, fringuelli e testuggini. Solo molti dubbi, qualche buona domanda, tanta curiosità e la capacità di collegare fatti sparsi.

Story
La scoperta dell'America non fu soltanto la scoperta del Nuovo Mondo. Fu, prima ancora, la verifica della possibilità di una nuova maniera di fare i conti con ciò che esiste, attraverso uno sguardo e una pratica che hanno definito la natura dell'intera modernità e che ancora oggi restano in sostanza i nostri. Quello di Colombo fu davvero uno strano andare, di cui paradossalmente più tempo passa meno di certe si conosce. Una cosa è sicura: il viaggio di Colombo ha caratteristiche uniche.

Tout commence dans une période d'effervescence sans pareille, à savoir la découverte du Nouveau Monde, et le début des grandes expéditions maritimes espagnoles et portugaises qui marquent la fin du XVème et le début du XVIe siècle.

Story
Until the early 1870s, very little was known about the creatures lurking in the depths of our oceans. The first systematic investigation into life in our oceans was made during the circumnavigation of the HMS Challenger. Scientists credit this voyage as the beginning of modern oceanography. In this book, Graham Bell takes listeners through the voyage station by station, following the progress of the expedition and introducing some of the new and strange animals that were hauled up from the depths of the ocean and seen by human eyes for the first time.

The confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, now in Canyonlands National Park, near popular tourist destination Moab, still cannot be reached or viewed easily. Much of the surrounding region remained remote and rarely visited for decades after settlement of other parts of the West. The first US government expedition to explore the canyon country and the Four Corners area was led by John Macomb of the army's topographical engineers.

Story
When Columbus claimed to have discovered America in 1492, and the Borgia Pope claimed it as a New World for Catholic Spain, the Vatican started a 500 hundred year conspiracy to conceal the true story of Viking America. In this groundbreaking work by the author of The Early English Settlement of Orkney and Shetland, the true extent of the Viking discovery and colonization of the eastern seaboard of America is fully examined, taking into account the new archaeological, linguistic, and DNA evidence which supplements the historic account.

Story
В начале 80-х годов XIX века в верховьях Амура были обнаружены богатые золотые россыпи. Принятый в 1865 году закон, разрешавший частный золотой промысел, породил настоящую "золотую лихорадку" на Амуре - тысячи людей бросились на поиски благородного металла, мечтая разбогатеть. Это привело к созданию так называемых, старательских республик. Самой знаменитой из них стала Желтугинская республика или Амурская Калифорния. Раньше всех на берега Желтуги слетелись беглые каторжники, которые скрывались неподалеку. Затем в эти края прибыли китайцы, называвшие золотоносную реку Мохэ.

Story
The Netherlands had a great century in the 1600s, until it all ended about three-fourths of the way along. Trading was all around; business was good. Their vast empire that reached across the world made money from spices, raw materials, metals, and so much more, with an extensive network of ships and merchants, and an entire army fleet. The Dutch Golden Era was a time in Dutch history varying from about 1588 (the start of the Dutch Republic) to 1672 (the "Catastrophe Year"), throughout which Dutch trade, science, and art, and the Dutch armed force, were amongst the world's best.

Glaisher’s death-defying journey forms the story of the major motion picture The Aeronauts, starring Eddie Redmayne as Glaisher and Felicity Jones as his balloon companion, Amelia Wren.

On the first of September 1785, with night coming on and the weather deteriorating, the crew of the ship Faithful Steward sailed toward Delaware's notorious False Cape. In the summer of 1785, a group of Irish migrants took to the Atlantic to escape the abuse and persecution of the ruling classes at home. They sought a new life in the United States, a place "where the banner of freedom waved proudly" and "every good was possessed."

Story
When people think about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), they tend to think of flying discs piloted by gray beings with large heads and enormous eyes. They also might believe that these sightings only started relatively recently and that belief in UFOs is some sort of modern phenomenon brought on, perhaps, by the very justifiable fears of a nuclear age. But a study of UFOs quickly reveals that people have been reporting the existence of unidentified flying objects since the beginning of recorded history, and perhaps a lot longer than that.
