1/4: Explorers: A New History (A Norton Short) Paperback – August 5, 2025  by  Matthew Lockwood  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Explorers-New-History-Norton-Short/dp/1324110317 Unfurling a tapestry of surprising and historically overlooked figures spanning forty centuries and six continents, historian Matthew Lockwood narrates lives filled with imagination and wonder, curiosity, connection, and exchange. Familiar icons of exploration like Pocahontas, Columbus, Sacagawea, and Captain Cook find new company in the untold stories of people usually denied the title “explorers,” including immigrants, indigenous interpreters, local guides, and fugitive slaves. He highlights female voyagers like Gudrid Far-Traveler and Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Viking women who sailed to North America in 1000 AD, and Mary Wortley Montagu, whose pioneering travels to Constantinople would lead to the development of the world's first smallpox vaccine. Figures like Ghulam Rassul Galwan, a guide for European travelers in the Himalayas, reveal the hidden labor, expertise, and local enthusiasm behind many grand stories of discovery. Other characters, like David Dorr, a man born into slavery in New Orleans who embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe and Egypt, embody discovery and wonder as universal parts of the human condition. As Lockwood makes clear, people of every background imagine new worlds. Adventurers from every corner of the globe search for the unknown and try to understand it, remaking the world and themselves in the process. Exploration is for everyone who sets off into the unknown. It is the inheritance of all. 1492 COLUMBUS AND THE TAINO PEOPLE

Bert Terhart is an adventurer, sailor, and lifelong explorer who currently resides on a smaller island off Vancouver Island, Canada, a place with a surprisingly large population of 750,000. Originally from the prairies of Canada near Fargo, North Dakota, Bert grew up in a small, hardworking oil town, shaped by cold landscapes and a strong sense of community. His Dutch heritage, with a family background in the Merchant Marine, ignited his lifelong love of sailing. ⁣ Bert joined the Canadian Army at 17, attending the Canadian military college, the equivalent of West Point. He served in the Canadian Special Service Force, an elite unit trained alongside the U.S. military, and participated in intense Cold War-era training exercises. His military experience led him to reflect on the harsh realities of war, but he ultimately left the Army and pursued a career in oceanography after being disqualified from the Navy due to colorblindness. ⁣ A passion for the ocean, history, and exploration led Bert to retrace the routes of legendary explorers like Captain Cook and William Bligh, sailing over 50,000 nautical miles and navigating some of the most remote and challenging regions in the world, including the Arctic Circle and the Bering Sea. He is also known for his solo paddling expeditions across Canada and adventurous voyages in the Southern Ocean.

With only four weeks left until Kentucky Derby 2025, the last three major qualifying preps have the attention of this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Derby-winning trainer Rick Dutrow discusses Captain Cook, one of the top contenders in what is expected to be a wet running Saturday of the Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. Dutrow talks about whether the weather will benefit his colt and how the race will be run. He also talks about the two years he has been back in racing after his 10-year suspension ended. FanDuel TV analyst Joaquin Jaime looks at the overall Kentucky Derby picture, including the showdown between consensus futures favorite Journalism and Eclipse Award winner Citizen Bull in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) on Saturday. There also will be conversation about the Wood and about Tuesday's Blue Grass (G1) at Keeneland. Super Screener creator Mike Shutty zeroes in on each of the three Derby qualifiers, and co-host John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times checks in from California to field listener and reader feedback. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.

Wie misst man eigentlich Entfernungen im Universum? Und wie hat sich unser Verständnis darüber im Laufe der Jahrhunderte verändert? In dieser Folge erklimmen Susanne und Paul mit euch die „Himmelsleiter“ der Astronomie und zeigen, wie Wissenschaftler über Jahrhunderte hinweg nach Wegen suchten, die kosmischen Distanzen zu bestimmen.Von den ersten Versuchen mit Venustransits, bei denen Forscher wie Captain Cook im 18. Jahrhundert die einen der sehr seltenen Durchgänge der Venus vor der Sonne beobachteten, bis hin zu den bahnbrechenden Erkenntnissen der modernen Astronomie – unsere beiden Astronomen tauchen mit euch heute ein in die Geschichte der Himmelsvermessung. Die berühmten Keplerschen Gesetze halfen zwar, die Bewegung der Planeten zu verstehen, doch ohne eine verlässliche Bestimmung der Entfernung zwischen Erde und Sonne blieb die Himmelsleiter sogar im Sonnensystem ohne Maßstab. Erst aufwendige Expeditionen brachten uns diesem heiligen Gral der Astronomie näher.Und dann? Im 19. Jahrhundert brachte die Messung der Parallaxe den nächsten Durchbruch: Wir erfuhren, wie weit weg die nächsten Sterne sind. Heute liefern uns Teleskope und Raumsonden wie Gaia gigantische Datenmengen, die es ermöglichen, Entfernungen für Milliarden von Objekten im All zu berechnen.Doch nicht nur geometrische Methoden helfen uns weiter – auch das Licht der Sterne verrät uns, wie weit sie entfernt sind. Mithilfe der Spektralanalyse können wir die wahre Leuchtkraft eines Sterns bestimmen und so seine Distanz berechnen.Wie all diese Methoden zusammenspielen und welche faszinierenden Erkenntnisse sie uns über das Universum liefern – das erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge mit unseren beiden Himmelspaziergängern Susanne und Paul!

In this episode we're visiting a cotton mill to bring our Industrial Revolution studies to life, Mirabelle's learning about Captain Cook, we're doing experiments to learn about oil spills to tie into Asher's Environmental Management studies, and Eden's deep in her chemistry studies from South West Science and getting ready to start exam prep.

Whether you call them traditional foods, native ingredients, bush tucker or something else, what's harvested here is unique. Australia's a “megadiverse” country, home to around 700,000 species. 65,000-year-old grindstones found in a Kakadu rock shelter reflect the long, rich history of First Nations foods here and many plants are nutritional wonders – Kakadu plum has the highest vitamin C level in the world and even Captain Cook used Warrigal greens to save crews from scurvy. But witchetty grubs appear in Sweden's Disgusting Food Museum and native ingredients are largely absent from supermarkets, so are First Nations foods misunderstood and unfairly overlooked? In this episode, Lee Tran Lam talks to proud Bundjalung woman and cookbook author Mindy Woods, Chinese Australian chef Kylie Kwong and proud Mbabaram woman/Torres Strait Islander and nutritionist Sharna Motlap.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/681 Presented By: On DeMark Lodge, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Heated Core, Angler's Coffee Rick Lee, Hawaiian fly fishing master and saltwater expert, is back on the podcast, and today, we're diving into the waters of Christmas Island and Hawaii. Rick's got the scoop on where to find the biggest bonefish, and he's sharing some tips on how to DIY your fly fishing trips across Hawaii. We also dive into the crazy world of triggerfish. Ever wonder why they're called that? Plus, he's got some wild stories about Captain Cook's adventures (and how he met his end in Hawaii). Show Notes with Rick Lee on Christmas Island Fly Fishing.   02:33 - We catch up with Rick Lee since our last chat in Episode 116. Rick is still guiding out of O‘ahu while raising his kids. We also discuss the challenges and progress of conserving Hawaii's coastal ecosystems. He said he's helping educate visitors about protecting the bonefish and other species. 07:26 - We catch up with Rick about his time in Hawaii during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was in Christmas Island when things started to get serious and had a narrow escape, catching the last flight home before the island closed for nearly three years. He said tourism in Hawaii took a huge hit, but the silver lining was there was no traffic, no crowds, and empty surf spots. Fishing in Hawaii: What You Need to Know 09:52 - Rick shares some helpful tips for those planning a trip to Hawaii. He said that while Hawaii isn't a top destination for fly fishing, it's a great activity to add to your vacation, especially if you're looking for a few hours of fishing before the family wakes up. Oahu has some of the world's biggest bonefish, but with so many people and tourists, the fishing pressure is high. But Rick still recommends bringing your gear out for an adventure. Aside from bonefish, Rick says you can also fish for triggerfish and some varieties of goatfish. 12:37 - Rick shares that Oahu has flats around the whole island, but winter can bring dangerous surf on the north and west shores, while the south shore gets more giant waves in the summer. For those looking for specific spots, Rick recommends contacting his team for personalized advice based on where you're staying. Gear Rick suggests using a 7 or 8-weight rod, a floating fly line, and a tapered leader. For flies, crazy Charlie patterns in tan, brown, or orange work well, as do mantis shrimp patterns. 17:28 - Rick talks about catching some really big bonefish in Hawaii, with some reaching over 30 inches! The average fish on their charters weighs around 5 pounds, but you can catch ones that are 7-10 pounds pretty often. 22:53 - Rick explains that Hawaii's warm water temps stay consistent all year, from the mid-seventies to low eighties. This means you can fish for bonefish pretty much any day of the year. However, late summer and fall can bring rainy weather and strong winds, making fishing tougher. But if you're up for a challenge, the fishing is still great year-round. Casting in the Wind 23:54 - Rick says the key is to slow down and keep your stroke smooth and powerful. He also recommends casting sidearms to help the fly cut through the wind more efficiently. When it comes to rods, it's all about personal preference, but fast or medium-fast action rods work best for wind and saltwater fishing. As for fly lines, shorter, quicker shooting lines are great for windy days, while longer lines help with delicate casts when the conditions are better. 27:25 - Rick says there used to be a fly shop called Nervous Waters in Hawaii, but it closed down when the owner retired. If you're heading to Hawaii, you must bring everything you need. Fishing at Christmas Island 36:40 - Rick shares about Christmas Island, a remote spot south of Hawaii, where you can fish in a beautiful 145-square-mile lagoon. It's known for its incredible fishing variety, from bonefish and triggerfish to big tuna and sailfish. Triggerfish can grow up to 20 pounds and live in coral forts with special defenses. Rick talks about how tricky it is to catch them, but with the proper techniques, it's one of the world's best places for trigger fishing. Rick explains that a Christmas Island day isn't just about targeting one fish species. You could start with milkfish, which travel in huge schools, and then switch to offshore fishing for tuna or sailfish. After that, it's back to the lagoon to target bonefish and triggerfish. And when you think it's over, giant trevally might pop up. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/681  

On hearing the news of Lonesome George's death, the last Pinta Island tortoise, most people are likely to think it is sad and noteworthy news. But do we really care? As the world experiences what experts describe as the sixth mass extinction researchers have studied how people react to the news of animals, such as Lonesome George, disappearing from the planet for good. The team, led by University of Galway in collaboration with UCD and Maynooth University, turned to big data and the world of culturomics to measure how we react to the demise of animals and plants and whether we mourn their loss or if we are numb to the effects. The full study has been published in the journal Animal Conservation and is available here. Dr Kevin Healy, School of Natural Sciences and the Ryan Institute at University of Galway, said, "Culturomics is an approach where we gather large amounts of online data to understand cultural patterns. In our study we tracked changes in tweets, and Wikipedia page visits before and after the extinction of eight species ranging from Lonesome George, the last Pinta Island tortoise, to more obscure species such as the bean snail." The research team analysed data of more than two million Wikipedia page visits and more than 100,000 tweets and retweets on Twitter between 2007 and 2023, relating to eight species now extinction species including the Pinta Giant Tortoise; the Christmas Island Whiptail-skink; the Bramble Cay Mosaic-tailed Rat; the Alagoas Foliage-gleaner; Captain Cook's Bean Snail; the Oahu Treesnail; the Rabb's fringe-limbed treefrog and the West African black rhinoceros, to test if people increased engagement after the extinction and how global it was. By measuring interactions on both X and visits to Wikipedia, the researchers were able to gauge how people engage with the more immediate world of social media in comparison to the expected slower paced world of an online encyclopaedia. The study showed that while tweets, retweets and posts on X relating to a species increased after its extinction, this was only a short-lived phenomenon. In contrast, visits to Wikipedia pages relating to an extinction had longer lasting engagement. Dr Susan Canavan, School of Natural Sciences, University of Galway and lead author on the study, said, "Overall, we found that people mentioned a species on twitter more often directly after its extinction, however this increase was quite short lived. However, when we looked at Wikipedia page visits the increase in page visits after an extinction was sustained for far longer." The researchers also found that the most commonly used words are strongly associated with sadness and that for a brief moment even those relatively obscure species found in highly localised parts of the world are mourned across the globe. Dr Canavan added, "Overall, it does look like people care and are saddened by the news of extinction. We see words like 'RIP' and 'lost' commonly appear, and that the location of tweets expand from close to the species range, to across the globe after extinction." However, while people display a sense of caring on hearing news of extinction, where they hear it from, or how they hear it, was found to be an important driver in how they engage with it. The researchers found that a small cohort of "influencers" drive the majority of engagement on X. For example, engagement on X after the extinction of the West African black rhinoceros were heavily influenced by posts from the comedian Ricky Gervais. And while people respond to the news of extinction on mainstream media, there was no noticeable increase in engagement or page visits associated with official extinction announcements from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Dr Healy said, "From a conservation point of view, these results show that we can do better in communicating species extinction by more clearly linking in with media outlets and engaging with particular parts of social media.

On July 12, 1776, James Cook set sail aboard the HMS Resolution. It was Cook's third voyage, and this time, he wouldn't come home again.

In this series, we take on the truest form of gaslighting history to dive deep into the life and legacy of Captain James Cook, the legendary British explorer known for his voyages to the Pacific. While his adventures and discoveries have been celebrated for centuries, many myths and misconceptions about his life and actions persist.From his humble beginnings and early naval career that shaped him into a master navigator, his first Pacific expedition where he charted New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia, and common myths about his interactions with indigenous peoples, his supposed brutality, and the true nature of his death in Hawaii, so many stories and legends have popped up, not helped in the least by British propaganda.  Join Holly & Matthew as they separate fact from fiction, exploring the true story of Captain James Cook, and debunking the myths of his time. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal.   As a child I loved to stare at the globe, to spin it as fast as I could and trace my finger across the continents. How many of us played that game, planning future trips to far off places? The sphere would slowly stop, and where our finger pointed, we would imagine our next adventure. How many of us spent a lot of time in the vast Pacific Ocean as a result!    In the history of Pacific exploration, generations before Captain Cook weighed anchor or Vasco Núñez de Balboa set sail, Polynesian peoples were way-finding through the vast, seemingly endless ocean. These intrepid explorers flipped my childhood game into reality. Instead of envisioning the spinning orb of earth beneath their finger, these adventurers set their eyes toward the starry night. They set out, not coursing the pages of tanned maps, but following the constellations of the skies. Our lives in Christ can feel like both. For many of us who grew up in the Church, holding the Bible in one hand and our forming traditions in the other, we think we have an idea of how the world turns. We move along just fine through life until pain or suffering or the unknown dislodges us from our normal way of seeing the world. It's at those times we need to lift our eyes from what we've known to a new way of seeing. This is what Job discovered as he wept his way through the unforeseen struggles that turned his life upside down. The knowledge and understanding which got him to that point in his life wasn't the wisdom he needed to step into the future. In Job 35, Elihu carefully holds the contradictions plaguing Job's view of God and offers him a new way forward. As we look forward to this weekend, gathering to celebrate the goodness of our God and the faithfulness of our King, may we take the time to hold each other's stories well. May we ask the Spirit of God to guide us from the globe we know beneath our fingertips to the unsearchable vastness of His wisdom.

Two-and-a-half years later, on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures, come to that fatal moment? Hampton Sides' bravura account of Cook's last journey both wrestles with Cook's legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and his dedication to science-–the famed naturalist Joseph Banks accompanied him on his first voyage, and Cook has been called one of the most important figures of the Age of Enlightenment. He was also deeply interested in the native people he encountered. In fact, his stated mission was to return a Tahitian man, Mai, who had become the toast of London, to his home islands. On previous expeditions, Cook mapped huge swaths of the Pacific, including the east coast of Australia, and initiated first European contact with numerous peoples. He treated his crew well, and endeavored to learn about the societies he encountered with curiosity and without judgment. Yet something was different on this last voyage. Cook became mercurial, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline, and led his two vessels into danger time and again. Uncharacteristically, he ordered violent retaliation for perceived theft on the part of native peoples. This may have had something to do with his secret orders, which were to chart and claim lands before Britain's imperial rivals could, and to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Whatever Cook's intentions, his scientific efforts were the sharp edge of the colonial sword, and the ultimate effects of first contact were catastrophic for Indigenous people around the world. The tensions between Cook's overt and covert missions came to a head on the shores of Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious, but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal encounter. At once a ferociously-paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration, THE WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our finest narrative nonfiction writers. 1785 Death of Captain Cook

PREVIEW: Epochs #162 | Captain Cook - Part I by lotuseaters.com

Hampton Sides is a Santa Fe-based historian and bestselling author who has written many books that are favorites of Mountain & Prairie listeners, including "Blood and Thunder," "On Desperate Ground," and "Ghost Soldiers." His newest book is "The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook," which is available now and sitting high on the New York Times bestseller list. If you're a longtime Mountain & Prairie listener, then I'm sure you're glad to see that Hampton has joined me for yet another podcast conversation. - Much of Captain Cook's epic third voyage takes place far from the mountains and prairies of the American West, in tropical paradises including Tahiti and Hawaii. But what you may not realize, is that a big portion of his final voyage was spent exploring and mapping the west coast of North America, from the rocky shores of present-day Oregon and Washington, all the way up to Alaska. While I was somewhat familiar with Cook and his explorations, I didn't fully understand or appreciate the mind-blowing scale of his journeys or his impact on world history. - As is the case with all of Hampton's books, he melds together deep and extensive research with thrilling storytelling to make the process of understanding history as entertaining as it is educational. While Cook is obviously a central figure in "The Wide Wide Sea," the book also profiles numerous fascinating Polynesian and Indigenous historical figures, including the Tahitian man named Mai, whom Hampton and I discussed at length in our September 2021 episode. If you haven't already listened to that episode, I'd encourage you to do so when you're done with this one– there's a link in the episode notes. - Hampton and I met up here in Colorado Springs, one of many stops on his book tour for The Wide Wide Sea. As usual, we had a fun and at times very funny conversation about history, his research and writing process, and all things Captain Cook. We started out discussing why Hampton is drawn to write about controversial historical figures, and we talked at length about how he combined historical accounts from Europeans with those from the Indigenous communities that Cook visited. We talked about the mystery of Cook's dramatic personality change, how Cook's arrival disrupted the equilibrium of Polynesian cultures, Cook's leadership style both before and after his personality change, how Hampton organized such massive amounts of research, and how and why he works so hard to get his books into the world. He also gives a sneak peek into his next book, which will based here in Colorado and explores one of the West's most notorious massacres. - A huge thank you to Hampton for taking time out of his busy schedule to chat with me again, and thank you for listening.
