Book excerpt: Teddy's Time Machine How a cuddly bear looked into different times. Summary: Teddy, a soft and cuddly stuffed animal, finds a cool time machine and an odd old clock hidden in his owner's garage. Teddy, who is naturally brave and interested, accidentally turns on the machine and is swept away on a magical journey through different times in history, each with its own lessons and adventures. In Teddy's first adventure, he is with the huge dinosaurs of the Jurassic time. He meets a nice Triceratops and learns about the animals that lived on Earth before people did, millions of years ago. His next stop is ancient Egypt, where he helps a researcher figure out what's going on in a Pharaoh's tomb and learns about hieroglyphics and ancient ceremonies. Then Teddy is drawn to the Middle Ages, where he meets a brave knight and learns about how people lived and what they believed. In Renaissance Italy, he meets famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci and sees the intellectual and cultural rebirth that marked the time. This is the next part of his journey. When Teddy gets on a pirate ship, his trip takes a brave turn. He learns about seamanship, sailing, and the exciting life of pirates in the past. After that, he sees for himself how new ideas and tools changed society as he makes his way through the huge changes that the Industrial Revolution brought about. A lot of people moved into the American West during Teddy's time, and he learns about the struggles and ways of life of Native Americans and cowboys. Along with jazz, dance, and the growth of the arts during the Roaring Twenties, he gets a glimpse of a rich time. Watching the 1969 moon landing, Teddy learns about the space race and how it changed science and how countries work together, which is a turning point in history. As Teddy goes through the late 20th century, he learns about the digital revolution and the growth of computers. He sees how these big steps forward in technology have changed everyday life. Teddy goes on a trip to a future with lots of new technology where protecting the environment and being environmentally friendly are very important for keeping the world healthy. Teddy finally comes back to the present day when he understands how important his home is and what he has learned. Teddy is more than just a wooden bear. In the attic, where his story began, he is a wise old man who tells stories. To keep the other toys interested and teach them new things at the same time, he tells them about his travels. Through his books and toys, Teddy's trip through time teaches him more than just the history of the world. It also teaches him the importance of understanding and empathy, as well as how all times and cultures are linked. Each part of his journey focuses on a different time period, but they all come together to make a rich tapestry of our shared past. This shows that history is more than just a list of facts and dates; it's a living story that shapes us into the people we are today. Chapter 1: Teddy finds a clock. Teddy, a small stuffed animal bear with beautiful brown fur and button eyes, was feeling very daring one sunny afternoon. He chose to check out the attic of the house he shared with Emily, his owner. The attic was a strange place, full of old boxes, torn books, and riches that had been forgotten for a long time. It was the perfect place for a trip. As Teddy climbed the creaky wooden steps, the strange shapes made by the light from the attic window made everything look even more interesting. He looked through old picture albums, worn-out clothes, and broken tools as he walked around, making small dust clouds with his soft paws. Teddy was exploring the attic when he found a strange old clock buried in the dark. This clock wasn't like other ones. The wooden frame was big and fancy, with stars, planets, and golden hands carved into it. The dial on the front of it looked old and had Roman numbers and two shiny hands that ticked smoothly. Teddy thought it was interesting. He had never seen anything like it before. It looked like the clock was waiting for something or someone because it was beating very quickly. Teddy looked at the clock out of interest. It had more dials and buttons than a regular clock, he said. Teddy couldn't figure out what the symbol on a few of the small, round ones meant. It wasn't really a clock; it looked more like the control panel of a spaceship. He was most interested in the big red button in the middle of the clock. Ted took out his little stuffed paw and hit the red button, but he wasn't sure what he was doing. The clock's quiet ticking sound turned into a much louder buzzing sound as soon as he touched it. The hands on the clock started to move quickly and joined together to make a golden circle. As the clock light filled the attic, Teddy had a strange feeling, like the ground beneath him was going away. Without even having the chance to back away, he felt pushed forward through a tunnel of flashing lights and colors that were spinning. The attic and everything in it seemed to fall apart around him, leaving him floating in a huge, sparkling void. Teddy saw that the clock wasn't just a hidden gem in the attic; it was a time machine! He didn't know what to do or where it was leading him, though. There was a little bit of fear and excitement in his smooth heart. Where could he see these places? Could he ever go back to Emily's house? Swirling stopped all of a sudden. Teddy noticed he was in a totally different place as the bright light went out. He was not in the dark and dusty attic, but in a large, open area with a bright blue sky. Instead of boards made of wood, his paws were resting on lush, green grass. He heard birds singing and saw big trees in the distance. Todd was shocked and a little confused. By traveling through time, he got to a place he had never been before. As he took his first tentative steps into this new world, he thought about all the amazing things that were waiting for him there. How far away was he? What time period did he enter? Also, how was he going to get home? Teddy understood that the time machine had given him a one-of-a-kind chance to learn about the past and maybe even meet some of the people who lived there. Even though he was small, Teddy was ready for the new adventures and challenges that lay ahead of him. He was getting more and more excited about the stories he would tell Emily when he got back to the present. Teddy started an amazing trip through time. He would see amazing places, learn about history, and learn how important it is to be brave, curious, and open to new experiences. Chapter 2: The Stone Age Teddy, the stuffed bear, came into a world that was very different from the one he had been in during the Jurassic time. The air was warm and sticky, and the sun shone through a cover of big green leaves. He was surrounded by the sounds of a primitive jungle. Huge leaves rustled in the light breeze, and the strange calls of old birds filled the air. As Teddy slowly moved forward, his sensitive paws barely touching the wet, soft ground, he was amazed by how big everything was. He had never seen plants like the ones he saw. They were huge, with huge trunks and broad, big leaves that reached up to the sky and covered the forest in a thick mat of green. Buzzing bugs that Teddy had never seen in his modern world were drawn to the bright flowers that were in full bloom. Without a question, the dinosaurs were the most amazing thing to see in this bright, lush area. They were wonderful! Teddy was amazed as a group of huge Diplodocuses walked by. Their long necks reached up into the trees to eat from high branches. They moved everything in their way with their tails as they swung back and forth. As the ground shook a little under their weight, Teddy felt a strange mix of fear and excitement. At that point, Teddy made friends with a nice Triceratops. Teddy named this dinosaur Trudy because it had three sharp horns and a big bone flap on the back of its head, making it look like a small bus. Trudy seemed scary, but she really just wanted to know more about things. She grumbled nervously but nicely as she walked up to Teddy and quickly sniffed him with her huge, round nose. Teddy and Trudy quickly became close. Teddy was shown around Trudy's house by her, where she showed him other dinosaurs and lots of tasty plants. It was taught to Teddy that Trudy's horns and frills helped keep her safe from danger. As they went on their way, Teddy saw more big tracks in the mud that were all bigger than him. Trudy told them that they belonged to a Tyrannosaurus rex, which was one of the most dangerous dinosaurs of the Jurassic period. Teddy took a deep breath in and enjoyed Trudy's protected presence. Teddy loved seeing all the different dinosaurs on their trip. There were short velociraptors that moved quickly and had sharp claws. There were stegosaurs nearby, and their backs were covered with spikes and bone plates. As they flew through the sky, pterodactyls made deep shadows on the forest floor below their wings. Trudy taught Teddy about the plants and animals that lived during the Jurassic time. She talked about how the lush plants provided food for many kinds of dinosaurs, which were then fed by the warm weather and lots of rain. Teddy found out that some plants, like ferns, can send out a cloud of seeds when they are touched. Teddy was amazed at how everything in this very old world was linked to each other. The plants gave food to Trudy and other animals, which made the predators stronger. Every bug, no matter how small, did something useful, like pollinating plants or breaking down dead animals and leaves. Teddy learned and explored all day. At night, he sat by a calm lake and thought about what he had seen. The calm, clear lake showed off the bright blue sky and green surroundings. Ted saw dragonflies flying across the water and, off in the distance, dinosaurs drinking at the water's edge. As the sun went down and color changed the sky pink and orange in the sky, Teddy felt awe and thankfulness. The Jurassic Era was known for its huge animals and beautiful scenery. It was not his world, but it was still interesting. He began to value the special experience of learning about the past and the wide range of events that happened on Earth. Ted let out a happy sigh as he watched the stars start to appear in the dark sky. No matter how many times he went back in time, the Jurassic period, with its huge dinosaurs and beautiful woods, will always have a special place in his stuffed animal heart.

Download or read book The Paper Time Machine written by Wolfgang Wild and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paper Time Machine is a book that will change the way you think about the past.It contains 130 historical black-and-white photographs, reconstructed in colour and introduced by Wolfgang Wild – creator and curator of the Retronaut website. The site has become a global phenomenon, collecting images that collapse the distance between the past and present and tear a hole in our map of time. The Paper Time Machine goes even further. Early photographic technology lacked a crucial ingredient – colour. As early as the invention of the medium, skilled artisans applied colour to photographs by hand, attempting to convey the vibrancy and immediacy of life in vivid detail. In most cases this was crude and unconvincing. Until now. The time-bending images in The Paper Time Machine have been painstakingly restored and rendered in full and accurate colour by Jordan Lloyd of Dynamichrome, a company that has taken the craft of colour reconstruction to a new level. Each element of every photograph has been researched and colour-checked for historical authenticity. Behold American child labourers from the early twentieth century, alongside the construction of the Statue of Liberty. Marvel at crisp photographs from the Crimean War in 1855, balanced with never-before-seen pictures from the Walt Disney archive. As the layers of colour build up, the effect is disorientingly real and the decades and centuries fall away. It is as though we are standing at the original photographer’s elbow. This is a landmark photographic book – a collection of historical ‘remixes’ that exist alongside the original photographs but draw out qualities, textures and details that have hitherto remained hidden. Let The Paper Time Machine transport you. It is as close to time travel as we are ever likely to get.
Download or read book Time Travel for Love and Profit written by Sarah Lariviere and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Nephele has a terrible freshman year, she does the only logical thing for a math prodigy like herself: she invents a time travel app so she can go back and do it again (and again, and again) in this funny love story, Groundhog Day for the iPhone generation. Fourteen-year-old Nephele used to have friends. Well, she had a friend. That friend made the adjustment to high school easily, leaving Nephele behind in the process. And as Nephele looks ahead, all she can see is three very lonely years. Nephele is also a whip-smart lover of math and science, so she makes a plan. Step one: invent time travel. Step two: go back in time, have a do-over of 9th grade, crack the code on making friends and become beloved and popular. Does it work? Sort of. Nephele does travel through time, but not the way she planned--she's created a time loop, and she's the only one looping. And she keeps looping, for ten years, always alone. Now, facing ninth grade for the tenth time, Nephele knows what to expect. Or so she thinks. She didn't anticipate that her new teacher would be a boy from her long ago ninth grade class, now a grown man; that she would finally make a new friend, after ten years. And, she couldn't have pictured someone like Jazz, with his deep violet eyes, goofy magic tricks and the quietly intense way he sees her. After ten freshman years, she still has a lot more to learn. But now that she's finally figured out how to go back, has she found something worth staying for?

Download or read book The Time Machine Hypothesis written by Damien Broderick and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every age has characteristic inventions that change the world. In the 19th century it was the steam engine and the train. For the 20th, electric and gasoline power, aircraft, nuclear weapons, even ventures into space. Today, the planet is awash with electronic business, chatter and virtual-reality entertainment so brilliant that the division between real and simulated is hard to discern. But one new idea from the 19th century has failed, so far, to enter reality—time travel, using machines to turn the time dimension into a two-way highway. Will it come true, as foreseen in science fiction? Might we expect visits to and from the future, sooner than from space? That is the Time Machine Hypothesis, examined here by futurist Damien Broderick, an award-winning writer and theorist of the genre of the future. Broderick homes in on the topic through the lens of science as well as fiction, exploring some fifty different time-travel scenarios and conundrums found in the science fiction literature and film.

Download or read book Time Tourists written by Zachary Klaas and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time travel novels are always fairly clear about one point, which is this: the fabric of space-time is not a thing to be trifled with. People can't change what's supposed to happen in history. When people attempt to change history, that's always when all hell breaks loose. Indeed, if people don't take care to protect the sanctity of the timeline, the whole universe could collapse into nothingness.That's one theory, anyway. But it's not the premise of Time Tourists, a book in the Douglas Adams tradition of humourous science fiction and in the Harry Turtledove tradition of plausible alternative history. This book is based on a different premise. What would happen if people could go back in time and mess with everything ' with no consequences?

Book excerpt: (FAQ). Rush FAQ documents the amazing story of the world's greatest Canadian prog rock power trio, from its origins in a church basement in Willowdale, Ontario, to its induction ceremony at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Covering 40 albums, 10 DVDs, thousands of mesmerizing live shows, and millions of rock's most loyal fans, the story of Rush is as epic and unique as its music. Rush has been maligned by the press for decades, and misunderstood by a legion of mainstream rock fans and rock glitterati. And yet only the Beatles and Rolling Stones have earned more gold and platinum records. Few artists, if any, have been as influential as Rush's three virtuoso bassist-keyboardist-vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer-lyricist Neil Peart. Rush's focus has always been about its muse and its music. As such, Rush FAQ studies the evolution of the band's sound, from the early days of Zeppelin-esque blues-rock to complex, synth-laden opuses to the return of concept-album bombast with the critically acclaimed Clockwork Angels . With wit, humor, and authority, music industry veteran and unabashed Rush geek Max Mobley examines the music, gear, personalities, and trials and tribulations of one of rock and roll's truly legendary acts. It is a story Rush fans will treasure and rock and roll fans will admire.
