Sinopsis

In "Dick Hamilton's Cadet Days; Or, The Handicap of a Millionaire's Son," Howard Roger Garis explores the coming-of-age journey of young Dick Hamilton, who grapples with the duality of wealth and personal integrity. Set against the backdrop of a military academy, Garis deftly intertwines elements of adventure and moral dilemmas within a narrative that reflects early 20th-century American values. His prose, both lively and accessible, captures the camaraderie of cadet life while addressing the social challenges faced by a privileged youth striving for authenticity in a world that often equates riches with happiness. Howard Roger Garis, an American author known for his children'Äôs literature and adventure tales, drew inspiration from his own experiences and the social milieu of his time. His background as a journalist and an avid storyteller allowed him to frame Dick's struggles not merely as personal challenges, but also as a critique of the societal expectations placed upon sons of the affluent. Garis's commitment to infusing moral lessons into his narratives showcases his belief in character development over the mere pursuit of fortune. This novel is an essential read for those interested in adventure literature or discussions of privilege and character building. Garis'Äôs insightful portrayal of youth, resilience, and the quest for identity offers timeless lessons to readers of all ages, making it a must-have in any literary collection.

A beautiful, moving story of family, friendship and self-discovery.

Super rich. Super shy. Super lonely.

Lucas is all alone.

Since his mum died, Lucas and his dad don't seem to understand each other at all - it's almost as if they're speaking different languages. With a long, hot summer facing him, Lucas is dreading the drama club that his dad has signed him up for - he doesn't know how to be around new people and he can't stand performing. But the people Lucas meets at the club force him to open up and start talking, and when disaster strikes, Lucas is forced to step in and help. Can his new-found friends teach Lucas how to be himself?

Filled with empathy and insight, and sensitively touching on issues including grief, anxiety, loneliness with great understanding and an incredible lightness of touch, How to be Me is a kind, heartwarming, and uplifting story, from the author of the high-acclaimed novels Ella on the Outside and Not My Fault - perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and Lisa Thompson.

In Tomorrow's Mind: How AI is Shaping the Future of Human Thought, I am going to bring all readers to an intellectual exploration to the frontiers where artificial intelligence (AI) converges with human cognition, creativity, and decision-making. This timely discussion opens a window into the profound transformations that AI is bringing to the very fabric of human thought processes and the way we perceive our capabilities. 
Tomorrow's Mind ventures into the topics of emotional intelligence, contemplating the gap that AI has yet to bridge in understanding the rich combination or collection of human emotions. This book casts its gaze on the horizon of possibilities where human and artificial intelligence might one day merge. It invites readers to ponder the implications of such convergence, considering the philosophical, ethical, and existential questions that arise when the lines between human and machine intellect blur. Tomorrow's Mind is not just a book about AI; it's a journey into the future of our own minds, a future that is being written now, with every algorithm and every line of code. As AI continues to shape our world, this book is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact it will have on the way we think, create, and decide.
