Sinopse

In "The Great Book of Good Night Stories," Thornton Burgess presents an anthology of bedtime tales that encapsulate his signature blend of folkloric charm and moral instruction. Each story is imbued with gentle teachings about nature and the importance of kindness, wrapped in Burgess'Äôs engaging prose that appeals to both children and adults alike. Drawing from his deep understanding of wildlife and his love for the natural world, Burgess weaves narratives that instill a sense of wonder and responsibility towards the environment, making this collection both delightful and educational. Thornton Burgess, an American naturalist and author, dedicated much of his life to advocating for wildlife conservation, reflecting his passion through his storytelling. Born in 1874, Burgess drew inspiration from his experiences in study and observation of nature, which profoundly influenced his writing. His ability to capture the essence of animal life and human virtues has endeared him to generations, as he seamlessly marries education with entertainment. I highly recommend "The Great Book of Good Night Stories" to readers seeking a serene and enriching bedtime experience for children. Burgess'Äôs timeless tales not only lull young listeners to sleep but also impart valuable lessons that will resonate throughout their lives, making it a must-have for any family library.

    Sparky's Big Adventure: When Lava Trolls and Elves Break Dance 
    Meet Sparky, a glowing Lava Troll who's as curious as a cat with a puzzle box. Sparky’s got a big job ahead—he needs to find a special crystal that can keep both his underground home and the world above ground safe and sound. But hold onto your hats, because that's just the start! 
    Instead of heading straight home after his first quest, Sparky finds himself in the Elven Kingdom. Imagine a place so green and magical it's like a forest had a baby with a rainbow! There he meets Princess Aurora, a young elf with a mind of her own, and her pet lava worm, Slægur, who's basically a cuddly firework. 
    Together, they form the ultimate adventure squad. They explore dark caves, solve riddles from glowing cave spirits, and even have a dance battle with a talking rock! Yep, you read that right—a talking rock that wants to dance! 
    Set in the cool landscapes of Iceland (which is actually pretty green, go figure), this story mixes laughs, action, and heart into one epic tale. It's about the power of friendship, the fun in being different, and the wild places our curiosity can take us. 
    So if you've ever wanted to go on an adventure where the heroes glow, the princesses are tough, and even rocks have dance moves, this is the audiobook for you!

    The Danes have incorporated a system that prizes a balance between work and play, the concept of “hygge,” solid investments made towards the treatment of mental illness, and a stellar welfare model. That has helped ensure that an endless stream of intellectuals, inventors, creative legends, and pioneers have hailed from Denmark over many centuries, from classical scholar Ada Adler to fabled 16th century astronomer Tycho Brahe. One of the most famous, and important, is Niels Bohr, a world-famous physicist and one of the patriarchs of quantum theory. Given the vibrant, peaceful haven that is Denmark today, it’s somewhat ironic that Bohr played an instrumental role in the development of the atomic bomb. Even so, the truth and depth of the matter, much like the self-professed pacifist himself, is far more complex. 
    The Manhattan Project would ultimately yield the “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” bombs that released more than 100 Terajoules of energy at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but as it turned out, the Axis were not far behind with their own nuclear weapons program. When the Nazis’ quest for a nuclear weapon began in earnest in 1939, no one really had a handle on how important nuclear weapons would prove to war and geopolitics. The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, along with the Cold War-era tests and their accompanying mushroom clouds, would demonstrate the true power and terror of nuclear weapons, but in the late 1930s these bombs were only vaguely being thought through, particularly after the successful first experiment to split the atom by a German scientist. The nuclear age itself was in its infancy, barely 35 years old, but within a few short years the advent of nuclear war loomed over the world and the prospect of the enemy winning the nuclear race kept Allied leaders awake at night.

    What would you do if you were invincible? Would you use it for your own glory, or share it with the world for the betterment of all? This question haunts the famous warrior known as Vlain the Last. He was just another legionnaire in service to the empire until he found a jinn and wished for his heart's desire. 
    Vlain has just returned from a maritime adventure when the emperor of Elamara asks him to help lead the 9th Legion to victory against the wild beast-men in their vast woodland realm known as the Last Wild. Vlain agrees and is thus pulled into a brooding conflict between the woodlanders and humans. However, Vlain soon realizes there's far more to the conflict than he was told. He must quickly decide where his true allegiances lie as tensions rise and battle-lines are drawn.
