Grand Teton National Park owes its spectacular scenery to earthquakes. Born of earthquakes and sculpted by ice, it’s an active and dynamic landscape. It boasts the youngest and steepest mountain range in the Rockies, contains some of the oldest rocks on earth, features glaciers, glacier-carved lakes, sagebrush flats, abundant and visible wildlife and a myriad of wildflowers.

Yellowstone is a land of extreme diversity. Nowhere else will you find wolves, bison, and grizzlies living among the largest concentration of hot springs and geysers in the world. The park’s 2.2 million acres is an incongruous landscape of bubbling hot, lunar-like geothermal features, lush green rolling meadowlands, snow covered mountain peaks, colorful canyons, waterfalls, lakes and untamed rivers. It is a park so large, so complex and so fascinating it seems fitting that it owns the title as our world’s first national park! Travel Audios’ park approved audio tour will help you understand what you are seeing and smelling! It is not a mile-by-mile guide; it can be listened to anywhere. It features an impressive group of knowledgeable Park Ranger geologists, biologists and naturalists who explain the geological processes that created the landscape and why this area in Wyoming is such a geothermal hot spot. They’ll tell you about their studies and observations of the park’s wildlife and their experience with massive forest fires.

On the night of 14/15 April 1912, a supposedly unsinkable ship, the largest and most luxurious vessel in the world at the time, collided with an iceberg and sank on her maiden voyage. Of the 2,208 people on board, only 712 were saved. The rest either drowned or froze to death. How could this 'unsinkable' vessel sink and why did so few of those aboard survive? The authors bring the tragedy to life, telling the story of the ship's design, construction, and maiden voyage.

長野県最北部の谷あい、長野市鬼無里に鎮座する加茂神社。 都より流されて来た「鬼女紅葉」が、京を偲んで建てたとされる。 彼女は能「紅葉狩」に登場する美女で、鬼無里の隣、戸隠の岩屋に住んだという。 伝説では、盗賊達の首領となり、朝廷の将軍と妖術をもって戦い、討たれたといい、 悪の親玉、まさに鬼女のなのだが、鬼無里には全く違った伝承がある。 ●都から流されて来た紅葉は、京の文化を鬼無里へもたらした ●呪術に長けた紅葉は、その力で村人の病気を治した ●紅葉が都を偲んで付けた、京にちなんだ地名が、多数残っている ●紅葉が住んだ家は「内裏屋敷」と呼ばれ、今に至るまで慕われて来た 鬼無里には、鬼女紅葉伝説以外にも、不思議な伝説が数多く伝わる。 その中でも出色なのが「遷都伝説」。日本書紀に、天武天皇の信濃遷都計画が載るが、 それを伝える地名が数多く残り、その悉くが鬼女紅葉由来の地名と重複する。 さらに、県内近隣には、紅葉という名の山姥が子の金太郎を育てたという山も。 山姥とは、山に住む女性シャーマンとの指摘もある。鬼女紅葉とは、何者なのか。 ○天鈿女命や卑弥呼、土蜘蛛など、古代日本の宗教では神懸る巫女が重要視された ○女性シャーマンの系譜は、漂泊の巫女、芸能者、遊女へと受け継がれた ○呪術を駆使し漂泊の芸能者でもある紅葉は女性シャーマンそのもの ...

福岡市西部、博多湾と玄界灘を仕切る砂州・海の中道の先に、志賀島がある。ここは、漢の皇帝より奴の国王に贈られた金印が発見された地として、名高い。この島は、金印が発見されるにふさわしく、古代には海洋氏族・阿曇氏の根拠地であり、彼らが崇める海の神を祀った志賀海神社がある。顔に貝殻が付着して醜かったという「安曇磯良」の不思議な伝説もある。阿曇氏は、古代のある時期、志賀島から全国各地へ展開する。彼らが定着した土地には、氏族の名が付けられた。滋賀県の安曇川や、愛知県の渥美半島、福島県の安積原野などがそうだという。ここに見えるように、海洋氏族でありながら内陸にも展開した。その典型が、長野県の安曇野である。安曇野の穂高神社は、山に囲まれた信州にあって海神を祀り、船形の山車「御船」をぶつけ合う「御船祭」など、海洋氏族の名残を留める神事もある。一方、古代の安曇野には、坂上田村麻呂に討たれた「まつろわぬ者」八面大王の伝説もある。朝廷に食を奉る氏族でありながら、どこか異形の影がつきまとう、全国展開した海洋氏族・阿曇氏の足跡を追う。語り:高橋御山人 聞き役:盛池雄峰

During his remarkable lifetime, Harold Gatty became one of the world's great navigators (in 1931, he and Wiley Post flew around the world in a record-breaking eight days) and, to the benefit of posterity, recorded in this book much of his accumulated knowledge about pathfinding both on land and at sea. Applying methods used by primitive peoples and early explorers, the author reveals how to determine location, study wind directions and reflections in the sky, even how to use the senses of smell and hearing to find your way in the wilderness, in a desert, in snow-covered areas, and on the ocean.
