The Mapmaker's Wife: A True Tale of Love, Murder, and Survival in the AmazonIn the early years of the 18th century, a band of French scientists set off on a daring, decade long expedition to South America in a race to measure the precise shape of the earth. Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a little known continent to a world hungry for discovery. Scaling 16,000foot mountains in the Peruvian Andes, and braving jaguars, pumas, insects, and vampire bats
In the early years of the 18th century, a band of French scientists set off on a daring, decade-long expedition to South America in a race to measure the precise shape of the earth. Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery. Scaling 16,000foot mountains in the Peruvian Andes, and braving jaguars, pumas, insects, and vampire bats in the jungle, the scientists barely completed their mission. One was murdered, another perished from fever, and a third-Jean Godin-nearly died of heartbreak. At the expedition's end, Jean and his Peruvian wife, Isabel Gramesen, became stranded at opposite ends of the Amazon, victims of a tangled web of international politics. Isabel's solo journey to reunite with Jean after their calamitous twenty-year separation was so dramatic that it left all of 18th-century Europe spellbound. Her survival-unprecedented in the annals of Amazon exploration-was a testament to human endurance, female resourcefulness, and the power of devotion. Drawing on the original writings of the French mapmakers, as well as his own experience retracing Isabel's journey, acclaimed writer Robert Whitaker weaves a riveting tale rich in adventure, intrigue, and scientific achievement. Never before told, The Mapmaker's Wife is an epic love story that unfolds against the backdrop of "the greatest expedition the world has ever known."Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent RV Extension Cord – Heavy Duty Quality and Best Value for Power Needs!
Size: 25-Foot, Style: 90° Locking End
The Camco Power Grip 25-Ft 50 Amp RV Extension Cord has been absolutely essential for our RV camping adventures! As full-time RVers who frequently encounter campground electrical pedestals that are inconveniently located, this heavy-duty extension cord has solved countless site setup challenges. The 50 amp capacity handles our RV's full electrical load including air conditioning, and the 25-foot length gives us the flexibility to position our rig exactly where we want it.
What impressed me most is the exceptional build quality and safety features. The cord feels substantial and professional-grade, clearly designed to handle the demanding electrical requirements of modern RVs. The 90° locking end is genius—it keeps the connection secure and reduces strain on both the cord and the pedestal connection, which is especially important during windy conditions or when other campers accidentally bump into it.
The Power Grip handles make connecting and disconnecting so much easier and safer, especially in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. The cord is rated for 125/250V and 12,500W, giving me complete confidence that it can safely handle our RV's maximum electrical demands without overheating or voltage drop issues that can damage sensitive electronics.
For such a heavy-duty, professional-quality 50 amp RV extension cord with excellent safety features, the price was absolutely the best value I found anywhere. RV dealers charge much more for comparable cords with fewer features. I'm very likely to buy a second one as backup and have recommended it to fellow RVers in our camping group. This cord has made campground electrical connections so much more convenient and reliable! Solid 5 stars!
