This book focuses on three important British travellers to Crete during the 18th and 19th centuries to establish whether or not they made any significant contribution to the field of research with regard to the archaeological heritage of Bronze Age Crete. It is an attempt to bring these ‘lost pioneers’ of antiquity to the fore and to recognize their efforts as part of the foundation of the discovery of the island’s Bronze Age archaeology prior to the ground-breaking excavations of Sir Arthur Evans. The three travellers examined here are Richard Pococke (1704–65), Robert Pashley (1805–59) and Thomas Spratt (1811–88). Having dealt with the terms that these travellers used in describing ancient remains, the book looks briefly at the background to Bronze Age Crete itself. Thereafter the development from antiquarianism into archaeology is followed to establish the motives behind these travellers’ wanderings in Crete. This also involves a discussion of other British travellers to Crete and problems they may have encountered with an island in the throes of Ottoman turbulence. Using their published journals, the author has followed the footsteps of Pococke, Pashley and Spratt to see what they may have discovered, and compared their written accounts with what is physically there today. The results are most intriguing.

Dawn's colorful first light is a testament to new beginnings and perpetual renewal. It is a rousing panorama that beckons to all who treasure hope and its fulfillment. Each sunrise is a pleasant reminder of inspiration's influence on the human spirit when love makes its appearance. Everyone has the inherent right to feel loved unconditionally and be able to love fully. However, not all are able to sip from desire's cup filled with contentment. For many, the obscurity of night is extended without knowing of the dawn's resurrecting influence. Love relies on spirited recovery during the course of an endless journey. Each new dawn faithfully restores hope for the realization of purposeful possibilities during the day that follows. It is an awakening to the restoration of light. The certainty of dawn's repeated triumph over darkness exemplifies love's faithful and trustworthy nature. If sincere affection is a measure of feeling fulfilled, then what is love and how is it realized? Why is heartfelt love difficult to experience or maintain for many? What does it mean to 'fall in love'? What is fear's influence when seeking love's affirmation? These are some of the challenges in comprehending the mystery of love and its reward presented in this writing. The written text identifies what is necessary to feel loved as a child and to love fully as an adult. Requirements for experiencing the fullest extent of love are chronicled in the section 'Requisites Of Love', while also emphasized throughout the narrative presentation. Numerous quoted words and verse by popular persons of accomplishment enhance a seamless narrative progression. Original poems of the author throughout are dedicated to all who cherish the imaginative and sensitive emotion elicited through poetic expression. Each subchapter listing of love's requisites includes such a beginning. The concluding chapter titled 'Exploration and Reward' ends with a novel revelation of adventure and passion. Included in 'Answering Love's Call' is a final poem of desire's accomplishment by the author titled 'Awakening'. (Screen Reader Supported with Enhanced Typesetting) Recommended: This book will challenge you to evaluate and confront your courage on several levels. It will also expose your relationship with fear even if you didn't think you had one. Myers writes about feelings which is desperately needed and rarely understood. Overall, the book gives hope. Hope for our personal journey as well as a parent and partner. It allows us to get unstuck in parenting. This is a writing that 'stays with you', It leaves a mark on your soul. How do I know this? I find myself reflecting on Myers' thoughts and gaining strength to face the future. - Judy Wilde, M.A., Clinical Psychology I recommend this reading to anyone frustrated by fear's influence while desiring heartfelt pleasure in loving. - Lester L Carney, MA, Educator and Counseling Psychologist

This forms the third and concluding volume of Verne's Celebrated Travels an Travellers. One is struck with the great mass of interesting matter, geographical, ethnological, and other, which is here compacted together; bespeaking as it does no small amount of research, an still more afiording fresh evidence of that instinctive perception of the popular which is, to a large extent, the secret of the author's success in his numerous works. A preliminary chapter is devoted to a general survey of explorations by Seetzen, Burckhardt, Webb, an others in the East in the early part of the century-—a survey very interesting so far as it goes, but superficial. The value of the work, however, grows as it advances, the story of African travel evidently drawing out the author's enthusiasm more successfully; and the expeditions of Clapperton and the Landers are narrated with greater fulness, and with more sympathy. The whole of the second part of the book is devoted to Polar Explorers and Circumnavigators, and the stirring careers of Kotzebue and Krusenstern, of Bougainville and Freycinet, as well as of James Clark Ross and John Ross, Parry and Franklin, are concisely and graphically recorded.
