  The mainsail cracked above them in the ferocious wind as a group of red-faced men descended on John. "You have brought a curse on us. Overboard with you," one of the men yelled. A chorus of cheers went up. It was the last sound John heard before he was dumped over the side of the ship and engulfed by the dark, roiling ocean."Thrown overboard, enslaved by the Turks, captured by pirates, rescued by a princess-the story of Englishman John Smith (1580-1631) would seem unbelievable were it fiction.

There he fought level-headedly for the policies that would enable the fragile community to survive starvation, disease, and deadly attacks to become a foothold in the New World.Heroes of History is a unique biography series that brings the shaping of history to life with the remarkable true stories of fascinating men and women who changed the course of history.The stories of Heroes of History are told in an engaging narrative format, where related history, geography, government, and science topics come to life and make a lasting impression.

  What if I told you there was a way to make your child actually excited about bedtime? Not just willing to go to bed, but literally bouncing with anticipation for lights-out? 
  These aren't ordinary superhero stories. While other kids' heroes are busy punching bad guys and blowing things up, our heroes are doing something far more powerful - they're showing your child that they already possess the most incredible superpowers on Earth. 
  Imagine your little one discovering that talking to animals isn't just fantasy when they meet Thunder Paws, the golden retriever who speaks seventeen animal languages and reunites lost pets with crying families. Picture their amazement when they realize that being small actually makes you MORE powerful, not less, through Tiny Knight's incredible adventures. Watch their eyes widen as the Coral Guardian teaches them that protecting our planet isn't just important, it's heroic. 
  But here's what makes these stories absolutely magical - every hero your child meets is facing the exact same challenges they face every day. Scared about starting something new? We have a hero for that. Feeling too different to fit in? Our characters have been there. Worried they're not strong enough or brave enough or smart enough? These stories will completely change how your child sees themselves. 
  Each adventure is carefully crafted to begin with pulse-pounding excitement that captures even the most restless imagination, then gradually transform into the most soothing, confidence-building experience that melts away every worry and fear. Your child will drift off to sleep feeling like they can conquer the world, because they've just learned they actually can. 
  This collection will become the most treasured part of your family's routine. No more bedtime battles. No more "I can't sleep." Just pure wonder, valuable lessons, and the sweetest dreams imaginable.

  The influence of the comic book has never been greater, from movies to streaming and beyond, but the journey comics took from little-regarded kids' magazines to literary prize-winning books and global franchises turned on a highly unusual group of writers and artists. Few would have expected a small gathering of British comic book fans and creators in the early 'seventies to be a global cultural pivot-point, but this was the start of a disparate movement of punks, dropouts, and disaffected youths who reinvented a medium and became the imaginative heart of a global success story. 
   
   
   
  Based on years of interviews with a generation of leading writers, artists, and editors, Karl Stock reveals the true story of the wild times, passion, and determination that helped, hindered, and saw the reinvention of comics. 
   
   
   
  Stock brilliantly tells the story of the triumphs and disasters that rewrote the rulebook on what comics could be and who they should be for.
