WHAT THIS BOOK CONTAINS: There are several people from various parts of the world who are associated with all kinds of mysterious manifestations, but none of them can compete or compare with this man of whom this book is all about, and who has been assessed and discovered to be the greatest of them all, as you would easily agree with, by the time you finish reading through this book. Mysterious persons all over the world are usually known for one or two wonderful things they are often associated with. On the contrary this book describes in detail, not one or two, but a total of thirteen different wonders all attributed to this one and the same person . One of these wonders, which is by no means the greatest, is that when he desires to see or meet with someone, no matter how far away from him the person might be, he immediately finds the person standing right in front of him within a few seconds. Before you begin to wonder what a great magician this man must be as you read along, you would discover that this man is also an author of many books; and one of his books happens to be the very book The Blessed Virgin Mary and Holy Mother of Jesus came with when She appeared at Idu Karmo, Abuja, Nigeria on the 25th of March 2017 (Feast of the Annunciation of Our Lord) and announced to the crowd that all should look for that book to read. This apparition which is verifiable has been corroborated. No mysterious person has ever written a book that heaven itself has given approval of in this manner. Even this alone has placed him above every other mysterious person on earth. In one of the books of this man, ( excerpts of which are contained in this book), he explains that what takes a person to heaven is not the ability to perform great miracles, but rather obedience to the Four UNLESS which Jesus Christ preached about in the Holy Bible: one of which is '' Unless you change and become like little children (known for humility, obedience, and love) you will never enter the kingdom of God''- Matthew 18:3. In another of his book, also contained here, he explains how the dead see, hear, eat and drink. You will also see in this book, how this most mysterious man got his first car- another great wonder.

The acclaimed science writer presents a wide-ranging exploration of Antarctica’s history, nature, and global significance in this “rollicking good read” (Kirkus). From the early expeditions of Ernest Shackleton to David Attenborough’s documentary series Frozen Planet, the continent of Antarctica has captured the world’s imagination. After the Antarctic Treaty of 1961, decades of scientific research revealed the true extent of its many mysteries. Now former Nature magazine staff writer Gabrielle Walker tells the full story of Antarctica—from its fascinating history to its uncertain future and the international teams of researchers who brave its forbidding climate. Drawing on her broad travels across the continent, Walker weaves all the significant threads of life on the vast ice sheet into a multifaceted narrative, illuminating what it really feels like to be there and why it draws so many different kinds of people. She chronicles cutting-edge science experiments, visits to the South Pole, and unsettling portents about our future in an age of global warming. “We are all anxious Antarctic watchers now, and Walker's book is the essential primer.”—The Guardian, UK
