Maps and Cultural Wonders

Spencer Kingsbury

Sinossi

In Maps and Cultural Wonders, siblings Virel and Jorik unlock a magical folio in their town library that transports them to vibrant corners of the globe. Each shimmering map portal guides them to marvels like Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the ancient temples along the Nile, and Japan’s Hokkaido winter festivals. Along the way, they gather cultural treasures—beadwork bracelets, paper lanterns, local recipes—and learn how geography shapes climate, traditions, and storytelling. Back home, they convert the library’s reading room into an interactive world museum, proving that every map is more than ink on paper—it’s a living tapestry of nature, history, and human creativity waiting to be explored.

Miranda The Great

Eleanor Estes

Miranda was a cat of many accomplishments: she was a good mother; she could sing; she had once chased sixteen dogs, causing them to flee in disgrace. Long ago, she and her daughter Punka lived in Rome in a beautiful villa with a senator and his family. But when the city was invaded by barbarians, the family fled to safety--without the cats. Left behind in the burning city, Miranda made her way through crowded streets with Punka, collecting motherless kittens as she went. At last she arrived at the vast Colosseum, where she established a haven. There it was, assisted by the valient Punka, that she preserved the lives of a multitude of kittens and cats--who were to become the noble ancestors of the cats of modern Rome.

10 Biggest Battles of the Civil...

Editors Charles River

The names of history’s most famous battles still ring in our ears today, their influence immediately understood by all. Marathon lent its name to the world’s most famous race, but it also preserved Western civilization during the First Persian War. Saratoga, won by one of the colonists’ most renowned war heroes before he became his nation’s most vile traitor. Hastings ensured the Normans’ success in England and changed the course of British history. Waterloo, which marked the reshaping of the European continent and Napoleon’s doom, has now become part of the English lexicon.  
Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, and this audiobook explains the campaigns and events that brought about decisive battles like Gettysburg, Second Bull Run, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Antietam, Murfreesboro, and more, along with what went right and wrong on both sides and the aftermath of the battles. Accounts of the battles by important leaders like Sherman and Grant are cited, along with analysis of the generals and fighting.
