In Two Years Below the Horn, engineer Andrew Taylor vividly recounts his experiences and accomplishments during Operation Tabarin, a landmark British expedition to Antarctica to establish sovereignty and conduct science during the Second World War. When mental strain led the operation's first commander to resign, Taylor--a military engineer with extensive prewar surveying experience--became the first and only Canadian to lead an Antarctic expedition. As commander of the operation, Taylor oversaw construction of the first permanent base on the Antarctic continent at Hope Bay. From there, he led four-man teams on two epic sledging journeys around James Ross Island, overcoming arduous conditions and correcting cartographic mistakes made by previous explorers. The editors' detailed afterword draws on Taylor's extensive personal papers to highlight Taylor's achievements and document his significant contributions to polar science. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of polar exploration, science, and sovereignty. It also sheds light on the little known contribution of a Canadian to a distant theatre of the Second World War. The wartime service of Major Taylor reveals important new details about a groundbreaking operation that laid the foundation for the British Antarctic Survey and marked a critical moment in the transition from the heroic to the modern scientific era in polar exploration.--Galen PerrasBinding Type: Paperback

A Must Read For Adults prior to Marraige!
Format: Hardcover
I was a a wedding this past Spring and the minister was so inspiring and even with 37 yrs of marriage I learned something so I asked him what he did with the young couple for pre-marriage counseling and he referred this book! I read it and it is spot on. You don’t need to be a Christian to benefit from it. I purchased 2 more for each of my children who are in their late twenties and dating. It makes you think about the realities of what you really want in a relationship and to focus on what is important. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended
Format: Paperback
Literally gave me the hope to fight for my marriage & fight for self healing, this book is very insightful about real life struggles that end up hurting us & our marriages, it all starts with you, if you work on you & your issues, you will begin to find personal healing which in turn, leads to healing within the marriage, if you DONT work on YOU FIRST or THINK ITS ALL YOUR SPOUSES/PARTNERS FAULT, your marriage will stay the same or get worse & fail.
It's a great read to read by yourself, or as a couple or even in a small group. I highly recommend this book.

Powerful information for any couple
Format: Kindle
My husband and I are in a good place now, but spent close to 18 years in toxic patterns. We separated 7 years ago for a brief period and have been reconciled and building on a more solid foundation. I wish we would have had this book then! This book has great tools, no matter what season of marriage you are in.
