Just plain dumb luck or hard work? Is an explorer's or a worker's any different? Is our whole life spent for just one final day on the earth to see family and friends? What do we do when we find that which we have been running from is what we are running to? The treasure of a lifetime, the greatest gift we have been given haunted by the story of those who had come and gone before was found only to be removed by decisions that need to be made that had never before been considered. Space and time melting into one purpose and choice that we train and practice for in hopes of achieving perfection one day. A hole in one and the zip of a perfect dive, what is the one dream we hold near to us that calls us beyond our limits into life-threatening situations where we go without question? One man's quest to find answers to his own life and to provide for his family as he blindly follows his calling and seeks peace in the balance of all things.

Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today’s idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. In this pioneering book, Samuel Moyn elevates that extraordinary transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal’s troubled present and uncertain future. For some, human rights stretch back to the dawn of Western civilization, the age of the American and French Revolutions, or the post–World War II moment when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was framed. Revisiting these episodes in a dramatic tour of humanity’s moral history, The Last Utopia shows that it was in the decade after 1968 that human rights began to make sense to broad communities of people as the proper cause of justice. Across eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout the United States and Latin America, human rights crystallized in a few short years as social activism and political rhetoric moved it from the hallways of the United Nations to the global forefront. It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.

The amazing true story of America’s most famed lost gold mines and epitome of Western traditions, this book tells the tale about the Lost Dutchman gold mine in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona during the late 1930s and 1940s. Based on author Barry Storm’s travels over the mountains in search for lost Spanish treasures, this book was the inspiration behind Lust for Gold, a 1949 American western film about the legendary Lost Dutchman, starring Glenn Ford. Contains lots of on-the-spot work in the mountains reading treasure signs, trail markers, maps and great photographs.
