Sinossi

In "The Boy Scouts Through the Big Timber; Or, The Search for the Lost Tenderfoot," Herbert Carter crafts an engaging narrative steeped in the adventurous spirit of early 20th-century youth literature. The novel follows a group of young scouts navigating a vast forest, filled with challenges and opportunities for bravery, teamwork, and self-discovery. Through vivid descriptions and dynamic storytelling, Carter encapsulates the ideals of the Boy Scouts movement, emphasizing values such as loyalty, resourcefulness, and resilience as the boys embark on an exhilarating quest to rescue a missing scout amid treacherous terrain. This work reflects the burgeoning genre of boys' adventure fiction, capturing the imagination of its time and promoting ideals of outdoor exploration and camaraderie. Herbert Carter, active between 1909 and 1917, was a prominent figure in the realm of adventure literature aimed at youth, often drawing inspiration from his own experiences and the cultural ethos surrounding the Boy Scouts. His background reflects a deep understanding of nature and scouting, which informed his writing. Carter sought to instill a sense of adventure and moral fiber in his readers, effectively marrying entertainment with moral instruction'Äîa hallmark of his storytelling. I highly recommend "The Boy Scouts Through the Big Timber" to readers who appreciate adventure tales rich in character development and ethical lessons. This book appeals not only to young readers but also to adults nostalgic for simpler times, inviting them to reflect on the formative lessons of courage and friendship in the face of adversity.

    Princess Natalia lives in the Kingdom of Colour where she balances nature to make sure her people have enough of everything.
    One day she saves a sapphire bird from choking on white goods. Not native to her own kingdom, the presence of the bird threatens their balance. Natalia begins a quest to return the bird to the other side of the Velvet Vines, the mysterious curtain separating the Kingdom of Colour and the world beyond. She takes the nastiest creature in her realm, Rizzle, to help keep the balance. Natalia is shocked by the despair she discovers outside her own kingdom. She enters a kingdom ruled by a gluttonous enchantress called Millenia who has enslaved her people. Princess Natalia must avoid entrapment by the fireflies, save Rizzle from the brink of death and return the white goods to the baker. Realising the people enslaved by Millenia have little, if anything, to call their own, Natalia knows she cannot continue her own comfortable life while ignoring their plight. With the help of colour, a little magic, Rizzle, the baker and her dearest lion cub, Princess Natalia sets out to bring happiness to this new kingdom. When you have everything and others have nothing, restoring the balance is always the right thing to do.

    The world was and is in many areas in a turmoil: pandemic, war, energy scarcity, wheat price explosion, and many others. And everything is either impacted or has an impact on global economy. And on the top of it: Christians are in the midst of it. Therefore it matters how Christians think about the economy and act in the economy. It informs their choices as consumers and voters as well as entrepreneurs.The many crises also laid bare the injustices of our economic system and demonstrated that change is necessary. This publication presents reflections and ideas of Christians how to engage and bring change in our economy in light of these challenges. The many writers who contributed to this publication present their ideas from different angles. Nevertheless they clearly also converge when it comes to the direction we need to take.This book has been edited by Rev. Timo Plutschinski, Director of the World Evangelical Alliance´s Business Coalition.
