As i mentioned in a previous post recommending Wade Davis “Light at the edge of the world“ books are one very important factor to consider when I am traveling

I found this post on the Telegraph.co.uk website and is worth to share it. I love the fact that they mentioned “The Journals” by Captain Cook as one of these 20 travel inspiring books, some of them i never heard of, i guess i’ll be visiting Amazon after i published this post.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity — in all this vastness — there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It’s been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
