n Uncharted Territories is the foretelling title of the first institutional solo exhibition by German photographer and artist Tor Seidel (*1964) in the United Arab Emirates. All artworks—specifically produced for the exhibition—are born out of a sense that realities are shifting in a time of utmost uncertainty: the recent, ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. They address how perceptions shift in a time of existential crisis, how our awareness is challenged, certainties are crushed, global patterns of economy and mobility deaccelerate, and social interaction is put to the test. COVID-19 marks a turning point for the global community, having affected each and every one of us, while the future is still unknown. Thus, Tor Seidel takes the viewer on a journey with an open-ended narrative.

The craving for human flesh! Are Rentt's inhumane tendencies out of control!? Having awoken in the Water Moon Dungeon as a Skeleton after being consumed by a dragon, Rentt has finally obtained a body with some flesh on it, all thanks to the phenomenon known as Existential Evolution. When he returns to investigate an uncharted path within the labyrinth, however, a magic circle trap is set off, teleporting Rentt to an unfamiliar place. The room he finds himself in is none other than the deepest part of the dungeon-the boss chamber. Who will win? A Giant Skeleton powered by the very energies of the labyrinth itself, or a Ghoul with the experience and weapons of an adventurer? Amidst this intense battle, Rentt feels an overwhelming sensation taking over...

Emotions are powerful entities that help drive our behaviors. You might have noticed that when you feel great, you are more upbeat and enthusiastic. Conversely, when you feel tired, you are duller than usual and have a tendency to feel more pessimistic. You may also feel sensually timid, in which case you might not be able to fully enjoy your intimate experience with your partner. To have rich sensual experiences, you need to feel uninhibited and also believe that you are unbridled. In the Fearless Sensual Attraction series, you will be subconsciously guided to feel free and courageous, adventurous yet humble. It is only by believing that you are capable and fearless that you can take risks. As you progress through these sessions, you will feel more radiant and inspired to explore uncharted territories.

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a brilliantly layered satirical novel that follows the extraordinary voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who encounters astonishing civilizations across uncharted parts of the world. From the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput to the towering giants of Brobdingnag, from the abstract philosophers of Laputa to the noble horses known as Houyhnhnms, each journey offers a sharp and often humorous reflection on human nature and society. Though often mistaken for a children's adventure, the novel is a profound critique of politics, science, war, and the flaws of civilization. Swift's biting wit and inventive imagination turn Gulliver's fantastical experiences into a timeless exploration of power, pride, and reason. Gulliver's Travels remains one of the most enduring works of English literature — both entertaining and unsettling.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics. Now we clung to a battered little boat, 'alone, alone- all, all alone; alone on a wide, wide sea.' The ill-fated Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914 was to be the first land-crossing of Antarctica. When disaster strikes, Sir Ernest Shackleton's party has no choice but make an impossible journey across an uncharted landscape of unstable ice floes, stormy seas and inhospitable glaciers. What follows is a desperate quest for survival, an epic true-story of derring-do from a true hero of the Golden age of Antarctic exploration. Against the poignant backdrop of World War I, Shackleton recounts the tale of his own battle, 'the White Warfare of the South,' a desperate struggle of human resilience, determination and teamwork against nature itself.

Using a replica of the native Chamorros' outrigger boats as his figurative vessel, these poems explore the personal, historical, cultural, and natural elements of the poet's native Guam. Combining and contrasting the fragmentary myths of the author's island ancestors, intimate childhood stories of growing up on Guam, and the history of his family's immigration to the United States--with primary histories and texts of the colonial domination and abuse brought on by Spain, Japan, and the United States--these poems give voice to the anguish of the oppressed as well as their hopes for the future. Referring to both the island nation of Guam and the uncharted expanses of one's own soul, the "unincorporated territory" title reflects the author's attempts to express concepts that go beyond the current reaches of any language.

This project shows how the work of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze points us in the direction of understanding religion as essentially conflictive and violent. Many scholars have maintained that religion is able to serve some irenic or social function. These studies of religion are more apologetic than critical, defending religion's possibility and potential for individual and social good. This work attempts to look at religion differently - providing neither an apologetic for religion, nor a polemic against religion. This 'different' view of religion, inspired by Deleuze's lifelong fascination with an absolute and conflictive difference, extends beyond the limits of language into the realm of the metaphysical. He is the first and only so-called postmodernist to venture into this uncharted territory. Following Deleuze's own nomenclature, this study of the deep and essentially conflictive metaphysical differences found in religion will be called the nomadology of religion.

Foreseeing a hopeless future in barrooms and parking lots, cagey 13-year-old Luli McMullen bolts headlong from the heartland, aiming at Las Vegas where she expects to find herself a sugar daddy. Almost immediately, crooked-bodied Eddie Kreezer, a roving obsessive with a violent streak, and a fading but lovely grifter named Glenda begin to do battle for Lulis head and heart. On their perilous journey westward, Luli is introduced to drifters, lowlifes, strippers, speed freaks, gold-diggers, and a Libertarian with a dog named Karl. Along the way, she learns the truth of American rootlessness and discovers both the power and the peril of her own sexual curiosity. Part coming-of-age story and part raggedy picaresque, Hick leads us at a blinding pace down broken roads through a world that seems to this extraordinary and indomitable young girl dangerously uncharted.

The body is the most complex machine in the world, and the only one for which you cannot get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries, medicine has reached for what's available-sculpting noses from brass, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs, crafting eye parts from jet canopies, and breasts from petroleum by-products. In Replaceable You, Mary Roach sets sail on the uncharted waters of regenerative medicine, exploring the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body's failings. When and how does a person decide they'd be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Is there a sensitive way to harvest tissue and bones from the deceased? Which animals might be the best organ donors? Through interviews with patients, physicians, pathologists, engineers, and scientists, Roach immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable, and surreal quest to build a new you.

Mungo Park was an explorer of the real kind. In 1795, only aged 24, he left Gambia for the uncharted interior of Africa, in a journey that would be filled with tragedy, heroism, and adventure. Park was the first European to ever reach the river Niger and the legendary city of Timbuctoo, thus resolving, once and for all, a century-old geographic debate. He travelled with local guides and later entirely alone, through warring kingdoms, robberies, imprisonment, and extreme duress. By the time he returned to Gambia, he had long been given up for dead. The Travels in the interior of Africa are a collection of the meticulous notes he kept during his journey. This story of exploration and survival told in a simple tone offers unique insight into conditions in West Africa in a time already far away; it is informational, inspiring, and highly entertaining.
