Summary

Are you struggling to make sense of what happened at that specific point in history? Do you want to learn all of the historical stories in an easier manner? Pick up this overview history book today to learn the inspiring history behind The Gold Rush! This is the perfect book for history fans for all kids to enjoy.
 
In the 16th century King Ferdinand of Spain sent his subjects overseas with the order, "Get gold, humanely if possible, but at all hazards, get gold." His words are still relevant today. Gold continues to be among the most costly commodities, but its extraction is notoriously harmful to human and natural communities alike. In fact only about seven percent of all gold bought worldwide annually finds its way into applications in science and medicine. The remainder is stored in bank safes and jewelry stores.
 
So where did our obsession with gold begin? Arguably with the gold rushes which began hundreds of years ago. In this discussion we will look at the gold rushes throughout history and how they led us to where we are today in terms of gold mining and how unsustainable the practice has come in the 21st Century.

    Emmy Award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, comedian, and actor Bob Odenkirk and his daughter, illustrator Erin Odenkirk, present poetic nonsense for all ages perfect for fans of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky! Bob Odenkirk began writing these poems with his children when they were little, compiling the poetry into a homemade book entitled Olde Time Rhymes. He wanted Nate and Erin to understand that actual people had written the books the family loved to read and to instill in them the feeling that they could be writers and illustrators themselves. Almost twenty years later, when the Odenkirks found themselves quarantined under the same roof, they revisited these mostly silly, sometimes poignant works. It wasn't until Erin began to create illustrations to accompany the words, though, that the book grew to be something much bigger than an Odenkirk family treasure. From the titular made-up word for a blanket fort, an adorable dog with a penchant for the zoomies, and a father teaching his kids how umbrellas work, the subjects of these works, complemented by Erin’s whimsical and detailed linework, come alive on these pages. Featuring over seventy poems, Zilot & Other Important Rhymes will delight readers young and old.
