Sinopsis

In "Two Boy Gold Miners; Or, Lost in the Mountains," Frank V. Webster crafts an exhilarating adventure that captures the indomitable spirit of youth amid the promise and peril of the American frontier. The narrative follows two boys on a quest for fortune during the gold rush, intertwining themes of friendship, perseverance, and the trials of nature. Webster employs a vivid, accessible prose style suited for a younger audience, while embedding rich descriptions of the mountainous landscape, evoking both wonder and trepidation. This novel belongs to the literary tradition of adventure novels from the late 19th century, echoing the grand narratives of exploration and discovery that characterized American literature of the time. Frank V. Webster, an author known for his engaging juvenile fiction, was deeply inspired by the transformative era of westward expansion in America. His robust storytelling often reflects the challenges faced by young boys striving for adventure while grappling with moral dilemmas. Webster's own experiences growing up during a time of immense change likely influenced his portrayal of youthful ambition and resilience against daunting odds. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an exciting yet thoughtful adventure that encourages imagination and resilience. It serves not only as an entertaining story for children but also as a portal into an essential period of American history, stimulating both curiosity and a sense of wonder about the world.

    The world we live in is, sadly, one where we feel the need to validate our origins and identity in all the wrong ways. There is now a call for radical change in racist mindsets. It's easy to assume that the only racists to be wary of are those who are outspoken and demonstrate their hatred openly and violently. 
    But what about the not so obvious instances of racism? The existence of the kind that is insidious, covert, and just as deadly as blatant hatred? How do we fix it? How do we find out how we ourselves are being racist or adding fuel to the fire without realizing it? What can we do to stop it? How do we guarantee a future that is accepting of everyone, regardless of their race? 
    The fact of the matter is that change can only begin when you have a firm grasp of the problem. This book helps you understand all you need to know about the evils of racism, and it acts as a beacon of hope in the particularly troubling times we live in. 
    Things can be better. Things will be better. The world can become a better, more accepting, non-discriminating place. How can you be a fundamental part of making this happen? Read this book to find out.

    The HILARIOUS new novel and the year’s most perfect festive gift – from million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel 
    It used to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year, but for years Christmas has been taken over by Winterzone. 
    All the things that made Christmas special are gone: the human connection, the baubles passed down through generations, even the rubbish cracker jokes. 
    Instead, Christmas is run by robots, while 3D holograms of Santa Claus called Santavatars check if you’ve been naughty or nice – and on Christmas Eve, all of the presents are delivered by ZoneDrones instead of Santa’s reindeer! 
    But when they stumble on a curious clue, eleven-year-old Etta and her friend Monty find themselves thrown into a fight to bring back Christmas. Racing against time and against the might of Winterzone, they must find the real Santa – before the true meaning of the festive season is lost forever . . . 
    In this humorous adventure, Etta and Monty's action-packed quest to restore the true spirit of the holidays will captivate children and adults alike. As a top bestseller from the Sunday Times bestselling author, Virtually Christmas is a heartwarming family story that redefines the meaning of Christmas. 
    For fans of Jeff Kinney (No Brainer), Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss), Ben Miller (Diary of a Puss in Boots), Danny Wallace (The Day the Screens Went Blank), and Marta Kissi (The Friend Dilemma).

    WOMEN SPACE PIONEERS is a profile of the lives and experiences of the first eight women astronauts in the U.S. space program when they all became astronauts, and their impact on the future of women's participation in space exploration.  What makes this audiobook absolutely UNIQUE is that seven of these astronauts were personally interviewed and their unfiltered and uncensored interviewed memories of their trials and tributlations of that era is presented here in their own words - Dr. Sally Ride, Dr. Kathy Sullivan, Dr. Anna Fisher, Dr. Rhea Seddon, Dr. Shannon Lucid, Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, and Dr. Mary Cleave.  In addition, interviews were also conducted and included here of some of the men who also flew with these women (Admiral TK Mattingly & Capt. Dave Walker), along with some of the top NASA officials of those days at the Johnson Space Center (Dr. Carolyn Huntoon & George Abbey).  There's also 3 songs by the noted singer, Jae Cie, who produced them as a tribute to their pioneering spirit.  This audiobook's introduction and epilogue are presented by NICHELLE NICHOLS, who portrayed the first woman astronaut on TV as communication officer Lt. Uhura in the original Star Trek TV series, and was an active recruiter of these women for NASA.
