Download or read book All Thirteen The Incredible Cave Rescue of the Thai Boys Soccer Team written by Christina Soontornvat and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique account of the amazing Thai cave rescue told in a heart-racing, you-are-there style that blends suspense, science, and cultural insight. On June 23, 2018, twelve young players of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach enter a cave in northern Thailand seeking an afternoon’s adventure. But when they turn to leave, rising floodwaters block their path out. The boys are trapped! Before long, news of the missing team spreads, launching a seventeen-day rescue operation involving thousands of rescuers from around the globe. As the world sits vigil, people begin to wonder: how long can a group of ordinary kids survive in complete darkness, with no food or clean water? Luckily, the Wild Boars are a very extraordinary "ordinary" group. Combining firsthand interviews of rescue workers with in-depth science and details of the region's culture and religion, author Christina Soontornvat—who was visiting family in Northern Thailand when the Wild Boars went missing—masterfully shows how both the complex engineering operation above ground and the mental struggles of the thirteen young people below proved critical in the life-or-death mission. Meticulously researched and generously illustrated with photographs, this page-turner includes an author’s note describing her experience meeting the team, detailed source notes, and a bibliography to fully immerse readers in the most ambitious cave rescue in history.

This book was released on 2022-07-06 with total page 8784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular adventure novelist William Lancaster was the son of a Royal Navy captain and wrote under the pseudonym of Harry Collingwood. He studied at Royal Naval College, Greenwich and distinguished himself by carrying off many prizes. He joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman at the age of fifteen, but due to severe near-sightedness, he was forced to abandon his chosen career. Instead, he became a civil engineer, specialising in harbour commissions. In his spare time, he turned to writing adventure yarns and historical novels, almost always with a nautical setting. His novels reveal his informed knowledge of the genre and an untiring ability to construct compelling and original adventure stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea' by L. Frank Baum, readers are taken on an exciting journey filled with daring escapades, dangerous encounters, and thrilling adventures. Written in Baum's signature engaging and descriptive style, this book captures the essence of the late 19th-century adventure literature, transporting readers to a world where courage and resourcefulness are paramount. The vivid imagery and fast-paced narrative will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they follow Sam Steele's journey through uncharted lands and treacherous waters. Baum's attention to detail and character development make this book a timeless classic in the adventure genre. L. Frank Baum, best known for his beloved classic 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' showcases his versatility as an author in 'Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea.' Baum's own experiences as a traveler and storyteller likely inspired him to create a tale that captures the spirit of exploration and discovery. His ability to create dynamic characters and immerse readers in richly detailed settings sets him apart as a master storyteller. I highly recommend 'Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea' to readers who enjoy action-packed adventures that transport them to far-off lands.

Download or read book Funny Stuff in the Bible written by Phillip D. Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funny Stuff in the Bible is a field trip through the Bible library hunting for funny stuff. The many stories and other literature in this library were written over a period of a thousand years. This is well known. Thinking of the Bible as a library provides perspective. Though there are more copies of this library, its writings bound into a single volume, than of any other book in the world, the literature in it is underrated and underenjoyed. It is underenjoyed because of the smog created by the notion that every word is religiously serious and not for enjoyment, let alone laughter. This overlay of morality and religious seriousness makes it difficult to read a particular story as we do other stories in the world. Funny Stuff shakes off these notions to enjoy some stories. The Bible is a large library. We can only explore a little of it as we look both for stuff that makes us laugh and also things that are strange. We investigate what we come across--stumble on, so to speak. The quest is undertaken in good humor and with light hearts.
