  Track and field is one of the oldest and most celebrated sports in human history, dating back to ancient civilizations. Rooted in the basic human movements of running, jumping, and throwing, it has evolved into a dynamic and diverse athletic discipline that tests physical prowess, mental resilience, and strategic thinking. This chapter provides an overview of the sport, its rich history, and the variety of events that make up its exciting landscape. 
  The origins of track and field can be traced to the ancient Olympic Games in Greece, where events such as the stadion race—a short sprint—and the pentathlon captivated audiences. Over centuries, the sport expanded and adapted, becoming a cornerstone of modern athletics. Today, it encompasses a wide range of events, divided into three main categories: track events, field events, and combined events. 
  Track events include sprints, middle-distance and long-distance races, hurdles, and relays. These races test speed, endurance, and teamwork, often decided by fractions of a second. Field events, on the other hand, showcase an athlete's power and precision. Competitors excel in throwing disciplines such as shot put, discus, and javelin, as well as jumping events like the long jump, high jump, triple jump, and pole vault. Combined events, such as the decathlon and heptathlon, require athletes to master a mix of track and field disciplines, demanding unparalleled versatility.

  Ava Lin is six and a half years old, and this year she’s in first grade. She’s really good at making things and eating snacks and making lists. But what she really wants to be good at is earning enough tickets to fill her kindness bucket. In Ava’s class, if you do something kind for someone, that person puts a ticket in your bucket, and whoever has the most tickets by the end of the week gets to choose a prize. Ava really wants to choose the narwhal eraser—she NEEDS that eraser—so she has to be sure she’s the best bucket filler of the week, no matter what. But if you’re doing nice things just so you can pile up tickets, is that the same as being kind to others? Especially if you manage to hurt your best friend’s feelings along the way? Vicky Fang brings back a lovable, sometimes bumbling heroine who wins the prize for heart and humor.

  The Ark

  Two rooms all to themselves⁠—it was almost too good to be true! For this was postwar Germany, filled with starving, homeless people trying to stay alive amidst the rubble, and to the Lechows the two freezing attic rooms in Mrs. Verduz’ house on Parsley Street were an unbelievable stroke of luck. No matter that every stick of furniture and even the cracked dishes were borrowed from a grudging but kind landlady, that food was so scarce they were nearly always hungry, that Matthias, loving the stars and growing things, was assigned to construction work by the Labor Office. Now that there was a roof over their heads, Joey and Andrea could attend school, and perhaps Father, if he was still alive, would find his way to them from the prison camp in Russia. It was a makeshift arrangement at best, but somehow Mother made the cheerless rooms homelike, and soon there were good friends⁠—lovable, half wild Hans Ulrich who treasure hunted with Joey in the ruins of bombed out houses; musical Dieter; and plump, cheerful Lenchen⁠—to share their meager but merry Christmas celebration. Only shy, lonely Margret, who felt that half herself had died with her twin brother Christian in East Germany, made no special friend, unless one counted Caliph, Mrs. Verduz’ cat. But eventually it was Margret’s love of animals that led her to sprightly Mrs. Almut and Rowan Farm and, before the next Christmas, Matthias had exchanged his hated job for the hard but satisfying work of the farm. Margret, too, happily caring for Mrs. Almut’s Great Danes, was beginning to understand the inexorable cycle of life and death, and the Ark, an old railroad car on the farm converted into a home, was ready to receive a reunited family. The Ark paints an honest, realistic picture of the terrible aftermath of war in a defeated country. Most of all, it is the story of courage⁠—the courage of real people who, caught up in the adversity that shattered their lives, can still look at the future with hope and at the past without bitterness.

  Runaway - From Broken Hull to...

  Runaway by Alfred Coppel - Ripped by an asteroid stray, the space-ship drifted helplessly ... until suddenly, across the shuddering deeps, a strange voice called to her. 
  I recall that when I was just a boy hanging around the old Mojave space yards, there was an old timer there who used to sing an old song. He learned it from his father and he from his grandfather who used to prospect for gold in the Death Valley country. 
  Oh, my darling, oh my darling, 
  Oh, my darling Clementine, 
  You are lost and gone forever, 
  Dreadful sorry, Clementine!... 
  The old timer was really ancient when I knew him, because he could remember the war with the Federal States that used to be called Germany and Japan. There was a strangeness about him, or so it seems to me now. Listening to him sing those pioneer ballads caught at the imagination and woke dreams. Of course, I was young then, and impressionable. But his tales were my gospel. There were some among the yard hands who claimed he was a survivor of the first crew back from Luna, but that was probably loose talk. In those days every yard had its "Selenite man." 
  It was from him, though, that I heard my first spaceman's yarns. Yarns about the ships that were built when Venus and Mars were the outposts of the system ... the frontier. 
  He used to tell of the strange ways in which those old ships took on personality ... character, if you like ... in the eyes of the men who crewed them. When he spoke I could almost feel the thrill of those punishing vertical takeoffs, and I could smell the stink of gasoline and feel the icy nimbus of liquid oxygen. I could feel too the throbbing of the first crotchety atomics under my feet and the quivering sense of aliveness it gave.... 
  Somehow, I don't believe the old man was embroidering fantasies for me. I think even then he knew.
