Sinopse

In "Boy Scouts in a Submarine; Or, Searching an Ocean Floor," G. Harvey Ralphson crafts an adventurous narrative that intertwines camaraderie and discovery beneath the waves. The book paints a vivid picture of young scouts embarking on an extraordinary submarine expedition, exploring the mysteries of the ocean floor. Ralphson's engaging prose combines elements of early 20th-century adventure literature and the burgeoning genre of science fiction, reflecting the era's fascination with technology and the natural world. Rich with imaginative detail, the story resonates with themes of bravery, teamwork, and the spirit of exploration, illustrating the unyielding curiosity of youth. G. Harvey Ralphson, a prolific author of children'Äôs literature in the early 1900s, often drew inspiration from the era's cultural fascination with nature and adventure. His background in storytelling and his experiences with youth organizations like the Boy Scouts imbue this work with authentic insights into the values of cooperation, leadership, and resourcefulness. Ralphson's own outdoor escapades and engagement with youth movements likely influenced his depiction of idealized friendship and exploration in the face of the unknown. This book is a delightful read for children and adults alike, fostering a sense of wonder about the sea and its secrets. Ralphson'Äôs tale serves not only as entertainment but as an inspiration for curiosity and discovery. Enthusiasts of adventure fiction, as well as educators and parents seeking to instill these values in young readers, will find this story both captivating and enriching.

    The Men Return by Jack Vance - Alpha caught a handful of air, a globe of blue liquid, a rock, kneaded them together.... 
    The Relict came furtively down the crag, a shambling gaunt creature with tortured eyes. He moved in a series of quick dashes, using panels of dark air for concealment, running behind each passing shadow, at times crawling on all fours, head low to the ground. Arriving at the final low outcrop of rock, he halted and peered across the plain. 
    Far away rose low hills, blurring into the sky, which was mottled and sallow like poor milk-glass. The intervening plain spread like rotten velvet, black-green and wrinkled, streaked with ocher and rust. A fountain of liquid rock jetted high in the air, branched out into black coral. In the middle distance a family of gray objects evolved with a sense of purposeful destiny: spheres melted into pyramids, became domes, tufts of white spires, sky-piercing poles; then, as a final tour de force, tesseracts. 
    The Relict cared nothing for this; he needed food and out on the plain were plants. They would suffice in lieu of anything better. They grew in the ground, or sometimes on a floating lump of water, or surrounding a core of hard black gas. There were dank black flaps of leaf, clumps of haggard thorn, pale green bulbs, stalks with leaves and contorted flowers. There were no recognizable species, and the Relict had no means of knowing if the leaves and tendrils he had eaten yesterday would poison him today. 
    He tested the surface of the plain with his foot. The glassy surface (though it likewise seemed a construction of red and gray-green pyramids) accepted his weight, then suddenly sucked at his leg. In a frenzy he tore himself free, jumped back, squatted on the temporarily solid rock.

From a normal trip, it has turned into a new adventure, which leads the author to have second thoughts to about this life, in the technological chaos in which we find ourselves. A new thing, born by chance, but that makes you think about how we lived before, without this lethal weapon that is the phone.

    This book contains the following two titles: 
    - The Holocaust: The devastating events of World War II, particularly the Holocaust, left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. This chapter sets the stage for understanding the roots of hatred that led to one of the most horrific genocides in human history, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of events during the war. The Holocaust was not just an isolated act of mass murder; it was the culmination of a complex set of political, social, and cultural factors that had been brewing for decades. To grasp the magnitude of the atrocities, we must first look at the deep-seated prejudices and ideologies that laid the groundwork for such violence. 
    - Prisoners of War: Throughout history, the experiences of prisoners of war (POWs) have captured the complexities of human endurance, resilience, and the moral challenges of conflict. In the midst of war, being taken captive often represents a turning point—one where survival becomes an individual’s primary focus, yet the determination to resist the enemy may persist despite overwhelming odds. This book explores the world of POWs, examining the strategies they employed to endure, resist, and sometimes escape the harsh conditions imposed by their captors.
