The amazing story of Australia's first surgeon and the boy he adopted. It's 1789, and as the new colony in Sydney Cove is established, Surgeon John White defies convention and adopts Nanberry, an Aboriginal boy, to raise as his son. Nanberry is clever and uses his unique gifts as an interpreter to bridge the two worlds he lives in.With his white brother, Andrew, he witnesses the struggles of the colonists to keep their precarious grip on a hostile wilderness. And yet he is haunted by the memories of the Cadigal warriors who will one day come to claim him as one of their own. This true story follows the brothers as they make their way in the world - one as a sailor, serving in the Royal Navy, the other a hero of the Battle of Waterloo. No less incredible is the enduring love between the gentleman surgeon and the convict girl who was saved from the death penalty and became a great lady in her own right.

It's absolutely engrossing.' - Herald SunVoir livre
Numerous physical and psychological advantages of horseback riding contribute to general well-being. First off, riding calls for strength, balance, and coordination in terms of physical fitness. While riding, riders frequently change their balance, which helps to build stronger core muscles and increase stability in general. Along with improving strength and muscular tone, maintaining a proper riding position engages several muscle groups, including the legs, arms, and back. Horseback riding is also advantageous for your heart. An aerobic workout that stimulates the heart is provided by the rhythmic action of riding, such as the rise and fall of the horse's pace. Regular riding sessions can build endurance, circulate blood more efficiently, and raise heart rate. Horseback riding has advantages for mental health in addition to physical health. The relationship between the rider and the horse fosters friendship and trust. Spending time with horses can be therapeutic because it enables people to get away from the stresses of everyday life and find comfort in their company. Additionally, horseback riding is a rare chance to be in touch with the natural world. Riding a horse allows riders to immerse themselves in the grandeur of the natural world as they explore paths, meadows, and forests. When combined with the rhythmic motion of the horse, the calmness and tranquility of the surroundings can have a relaxing impact on the mind, easing tension and fostering relaxation.Voir livre
Six Frightened Men by Robert Silverberg - It was an unexplored planet and anything could happen—yet none of us expected to face a creature impossible to fight, let alone kill.... You put your life on the line when you join the Exploratory Wing of the Space Corps. They tell you that when you sign up. The way they told it to me, it went like this: "You'll be out there on alien worlds where no human being has ever set foot—worlds which may or may not have been inhabited by hostile alien creatures. You take your life in your hands every time you make a planetfall out there. Still interested?" "That's old stuff," I said. "You don't think I'd join up if it was an old ladies' tea party, do you?" Which was how I happened to be crouching behind a fantastically-sculptured spiralling rock out on the yellow wind-blasted desert of Pollux V, huddling there with the fierce sweep of sand against my faceplate, looking at the monster that barred my path. The thing was at least sixty feet tall and all eyes and mouth. The mouth yawned, showing yellow daggers a foot long. As for the eyes—well, they burned with the cold luminosity of an intelligent and inimical being. I didn't know what the thing was. One minute I'd been examining an interesting rock formation, a second later I was hiding behind it, watching the ravening thing that had appeared out of nowhere. Other members of the expedition were sprawled here and there on the desert too. I could see Max Feld, our paleontologist, curled in a tight plump little ball under an outcropping of weathered limestone, and there was Roy Laurence, the biochemist, flat on his stomach peering at the thing incredulously. Back behind me were three others—Don Forster, Leo Mickens, Clyde Hamner. That made six. The two remaining members of the team, Medic Howard Graves and Anthropologist Lyman Donaldson, were back at the ship.Voir livre

Soon, fingers are pointing in all directions, and someone falls strangely ill. Suddenly, a fun night of scavenger hunts and sweets takes a nosedive and the girls aren't sure who to trust. With a blizzard raging outside and a house full of suspects, the girls have no choice but to band together.
