Book Details
One Family Tapestry, Many Human Threads
This deeply researched, broadly imagined sequel to Journeys traces several family migrations, demonstrating the ways in which humanity divided and reconnected from prehistory to the current day. The author follows fictional family members in their migrations, exploring how the need to survive inspired the invention and refinement of complex skill sets and social protocols. As the family in its various branches learns to tame the majesty of the sea with exponentially improved boating lore, they travel to lands they could never have imagined…lands where highly evolved people live, lands where unimaginable structures have been built, lands that offer bounty, and lands that test them with sorrow and hardship. You’ll be fascinated and thrilled to catch glimpses of legends that have intrigued humanity for centuries, including the tantalizing mystery of the Lost City of Atlantis and the demise of other advanced civilizations, the story behind the Easter Island statues, and the integration of Native American culture with tribal peoples who came to the Americas. The family is brought to life with Google Earth maps, sketches and custom-full color illustrations. The stories and ideas in Journeys II will make you aware of amazing evidence of what our past may have been—and what that past may mean to the future of humanity.
