Encountering Terra Australis traces the parallel lives and voyages of the explorers Flinders and Baudin, as they travelled to Australia and explored the coastline of mainland Australia and Tasmania. Unusually, the book takes its lead from the voyages of Baudin, rather than Flinders. Furthermore the authors have sourced original accounts including material which has never before been available in English. Extensively illustrated in colour and black and white.

Set in a fictitious Australia, the world leading economy gets attacked by nine Al-Qaeda members after blowing up the biggest warrior ship in Northern Australia the HMAS Endeavour-Warrior. Australia, becoming wary of the Al-Qaeda's vicious plots on its soil, chooses to tap on the shoulders of a few for recruitment. Isaac and Josh struggle to reveal the actual Al-Qaeda Group, while Rob, from Canberra's Headquarters, is well-focused on his own career, rather than national security. Daniel, a mole, is torn between his divided life as a deep-cover Al-Qaeda Group's member, and a devoted family man. Jalal, an Al-Qaeda leader, carefully chooses the members of his newly-formed group to strike again. Dig out the missing piece and put the symbols together to decode the Al-Qaeda's messages only then you can discover where and when the next hit will take place. "Al-Qaeda Terra Australis" is a novel based on personal interpretations and a reasonable analysis of events. Although the novel is inspired by an actual Al-Qaeda sleeping cell, all the places and characters presented there are fictitious.

A gripping history of the polar continent, from the great discoveries of the nineteenth century to modern scientific breakthroughs Antarctica, the ice kingdom hosting the South Pole, looms large in the human imagination. The secrets of this vast frozen desert have long tempted explorers, but its brutal climate and glacial shores notoriously resist human intrusion. Land of Wondrous Cold tells a gripping story of the pioneering nineteenth-century voyages, when British, French, and American commanders raced to penetrate Antarctica’s glacial rim for unknown lands beyond. These intrepid Victorian explorers—James Ross, Dumont D’Urville, and Charles Wilkes—laid the foundation for our current understanding of Terra Australis Incognita. Today, the white continent poses new challenges, as scientists race to uncover Earth’s climate history, which is recorded in the south polar ice and ocean floor, and to monitor the increasing instability of the Antarctic ice cap, which threatens to inundate coastal cities worldwide. Interweaving the breakthrough research of the modern Ocean Drilling Program with the dramatic discovery tales of its Victorian forerunners, Gillen D’Arcy Wood describes Antarctica’s role in a planetary drama of plate tectonics, climate change, and species evolution stretching back more than thirty million years. An original, multifaceted portrait of the polar continent emerges, illuminating our profound connection to Antarctica in its past, present, and future incarnations. A deep-time history of monumental scale, Land of Wondrous Cold brings the remotest of worlds within close reach—an Antarctica vital to both planetary history and human fortunes.
