Tim Severin; the Explorer?

 

Here is a photo of Tim Severin. 

I first saw a video of one of his adventures on YouTube. It was really fascinating. It led me to check out other videos and to check out his books. I think he is fascinating. 

I think that reading his books and watching his videos, one is partaking in his adventures. In reading and watching, it is almost like you are there experiencing the adventure too. 

I found his books as both ebooks and pbooks. I am reading a few of his books on my Kindle app on my phone (ordered via the Amazon Kindle store). I also ordered a few of his books from an online store (the online bookstore is Thriftbooks [good prices and it was shipped / packed well] - I am checking other online and offline book stores to see who has it). 

I found a website that is dedicated to him; Tim Severin. 
It has a section on his biography.
It has a section on his books (expeditions, Viking series, pirate series, Saxon series). 
There is a section on his films. 
There is a section on his images.
There is a contact section.

I have found his books (whether ebook or pbook) to be well written and illustrated. I am fascinated by his adventures. I have just begun reading his books. I am determined to read all of them. I have found the language to be good. It has held my attention and my interest. I would recommend his books to everyone.

Tortola - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  Currently I am into fantasy banknotes; especially ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them (it would be neat to see some with Lady Di on them but have not found them, yet). I found these on eBay with the search words ' fantasy banknotes ' (some of them were kind of 'revealing').  This one is Tortola . I thought it was made up but it seems it does exist. I don't know if they have their own banknotes but it would be cool if they looked like these. I think these look and feel like current European banknotes. I think they are really well done. I think these are really well done. One can see a really nice picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. The other is that it was reasonably priced; i.e.., I could afford them. I believe this is the front of the banknotes. Here are the back of the banknotes. I think it looks really nice. I think it is very well done.  There are other sites that sell fantasy banknotes. I have a...

Book On George Washington Carver By Tonya Bolden

Image
          I found a book on the life of George Washington Carver  (Wikipedia link). It was not overly detailed but it does talk about his life and accomplishments. I think there are some really nice illustrations and photos in it.           I think it is great for those who want to learn about George Washington Carver but might not have a lot of time to read about him or just have a passing interest in him.           It was an easy read and it was also informative. It could lead someone to read more about him. I have an ebook on him that has more details about his life (subject of another post / blog).          I found it at the Thriftbooks (they have a lot of books at great prices) for a great price (not many left at the site - just click on the link). They have other books  (link on a search using his name) on him too.  Even the back of it is really n...

Barbuda - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  I think that I might have gotten carried away; especially on fantasy banknotes that have a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I have found some like this on eBay .  One of these are the Barbuda fantasy banknotes. I think they are really cool looking and look so real; like European ones that they have now. I thought it was a place that didn't exist but it seems that it does; Barbuda . I do not know if they have their own money but it would be cool if it looked like this.  I think it looks really neat. I like how it has a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. I think this is the front of them.  I believe this is the bank of them. It feels like the current banknotes from Europe.  I got them from eBay using the search words ' fantasy banknotes '. There was a lot of fantasy banknotes there (some were rather revealing).  There are websites that carry fantasy banknotes. I have some of them listed in my post ab...
