On the west coast, you absolutely must visit Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on Vancouver Island. It packs in incredible ocean scenery like the wild, wave-pounded beaches of Long Beach and the lush rainforests of the West Coast Trail. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles, whales and even grizzly bears!2. Next up is Banff National Park in the majestic Canadian Rockies of Alberta. Every bend brings a new postcard-perfect scene of emerald lakes backed by snow-capped peaks. Hike up to the teahouse at Lake Louise for a view you won't forget. Looking for wildlife? Hit the Icefields Parkway to spot mountain goats, bighorn sheep and maybe even a moose!Now over on the east coast, Torngat Mountains National Park in northern Labrador offers a true Canadian subarctic wilderness. This Inuit homeland sees caribou migrations under the glow of the shimmering northern lights. Visit in winter for dogsledding or summer for whale and polar bear sightings!3. Warming up yet? How about the otherworldly geothermal landscapes of Elk Island National Park, right near Edmonton, Alberta. A bison herd roams here among steaming hot springs and icy lakes in a snow-covered, Narnia-like paradise.4. Finally, no list of Canadian parks is complete without Nahanni National Park Reserve in the Northwest Territories. Must-see features are the huge Virginia Falls - twice the height of Niagara! - and the mysterious Hoodoo rock formations jutting up out the lush valleys. Raft down the fabled Nahanni River for true northern adventure. Happy adventuring!Dr. Leo Lexicon

The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, chosen by national and foreign tourists as the "First Wonder of Colombia" in 2007. Last December 29th; it received the visitor number 584.132, of the year 2022; this way it surpassed the number of visitors that enter annually, since its inauguration in 1995, in spite of the effects caused by the pandemic. Built inside a salt dome, where the millenary extraction of a natural resource that has served as food, industrial, medicinal, economic, and mythological base, among others, now becomes the niche that houses in its belly a wonder of global stature; where the ingenuity of man, connected to the hand of God, molds the matter, and transforms it into a fantasy of divine inspiration. Impregnated with spirituality, set in everyday life, decanting the mission of earthly man, now printed on the salt rock with a language that is based on the handling of essential signs, mostly captured in abstract images - not figurative, which imprint the "place" with a deep sense of sacredness and reaffirm the spiritual substance that animates it. "The spatial conceptualization, its textures, shapes, dimensions and architectural structure, seek in this sense to respond to this specific significant and liturgical need." Architect Garavito Perla Roswell. "Cathedral of Salt, a Wonder in the Depth of Silence", is a written work that uses an eclectic language, seeking to raise awareness about our participation, implementation, and defense of human values, as the path to follow in the midst of such a convulsed world, where we all participate in the construction of a more just society, while emphasizing the sensitivity that the architect transmits through his work, where all the world's religions have a place. This work collects feelings and expressions of amazement on the part of visitors, which for decades I have managed to compile, together with the data collected from the research carried out as a tourism professional, and the experiences derived from the exercise of Tourist Guidance, whether as an official Guide of the Cathedral or independent; through the topics of reflection that I propose here, I want from my space to make a contribution to the construction of a better world, where the human being is prioritized over all types of interest and the planet as the house that we all together must preserve.

本书分上中下三部分。上部和中部讲述了作者的家庭在毛泽东时代的不幸遭遇，叙述了作者在文革中的造反经历。下部论述了毛泽东时代的制度特点和社会矛盾，以及发生文革的原因。作者认为，文革实质是毛主席绕过当权派层层阻挠，与平民大众结成"继续革命神圣同盟"，对政府官权上下夹攻，以期遏制中共政权的官僚化。文革失败的原因是，手段与目的的矛盾无法调和。它证明苏联模式的官僚化不可逆转，"它是通向共产主义社会的唯一正确道路"这个定论理应重新审视。彻底否定文革把中国重新推入半封建、半殖民地的深渊。

本评论文集包括四个方面：对马克思主义的批判，对国际共运的反思，对毛泽东的的评价，以及对中国思想文化的分析。作者认为，仅凭常识，即可证明马克思主义经济学的荒谬。而近百年的国际共产主义运动则是全世界人民的一场恶梦。毛泽东是中国人民的灾难制造者，只有清算他的全部罪恶，中华民族才可能有光辉未来。

本书是作者在中国四十年的自传。作者从一个天性自由的小孩到自我约束以适合权力需要的"革命者"，又到思想和个性逐渐回归本原的几个反复过程，反映了国家、社会、人心方方面面的内容，展示了时代的大图景。 本书最大的特点是内有作者亲手绘制的640张图画，真实地再现了当时的社会场景，给读者造成更大的视觉冲击力，创造了一种罕见的图文并茂的纪实文学形式。
