Traumreise Magic Dreams

When John, Jane, Sue and Lisa, four children of different ages, temperaments and desires, travel to Egypt for a great adventure to look for priceless treasure in the ancient pyramids, they experience challenges beyond their wildest dreams. However, one of them has a secret: she is planning a meeting with a local boy whose life story she has learned through contacts in an internet chat room. Their first tasks in this mysterious land are those of the average tourist: inspecting the treasures in the vast museum and wending their way through the maze that is the Cheop pyramid. They could not know that what seemed like normal encounters were deliberate attempts to attract their attention, or that their plans would take an unexpected turn as one of the children disappears and is soon followed by another. The three who remain in the dark pathways of the pyramid feel varying degrees of fear and hysteria but find friendship and challenges when they meet a surprising savior a long-lost queen who needs their help to regain her kingdom. Just as they make her acquaintance, the first of the lost children reappears and the four of them accept an invitation to play a magic board game which seems a bit scary. Once they are assured that nothing bad will happen to them, and that the game is a test of their skills and personalities, the children embark on a series of adventures which transport them, one at a time, back into ancient civilizations where they live out the roles of old villains and heroes, and meet mystical creatures. Each of the adventures requires courage and resourcefulness as they fulfil their roles and form a lasting bond with their lovely queen. They experience events that more than meet anything they could have imagined, but one of them has a more important desire, that of meeting her exotic soul mate who has been lost to her.

Arthur Cleveland Finch was an eminently practical man. Naturally he didn't believe that the carnelian cube was a "dream-stone" with supernatural powers. But, of course, if he were going to wish himself into another world, he would choose one where everything was perfectly rational. Finch got his wish - with a bang! And he soon discovered that one man's rationality can easily be another man's nightmare. He awoke a poet in a strange place where status meant everything and a man could be tried for umpteen kinds of crimes for reciting a poem in public. So, being optimistic as well as practical, Finch tried again - and again. And the worlds kept getting wilder, more improbable, and funnier - but more dangerous, too. The question was, could Finch find Utopia¿ before losing his skin?

The Arctic is the ground zero of climate change, and the polar bear is on the front line. Filled with groundbreaking photography that reveals the breathtaking landscapes of the Arctic and the transformations of the environment through the changing lives of polar bears, it's a firsthand report from the top of our planet. Polar Tales tells the story of an ice world in transformation and a planet nearing its tipping point--the moment when Earth's climate begins to change irreversibly. This book is both a celebration of the wildlife that inhabits this most unforgiving and beautiful environment imaginable--mountains, fjords, enormous glaciers, and the seemingly endless pack ice of the Arctic Ocean--and a cautionary tale of global warming. Rising temperatures have put the Arctic at risk, and the habitats--and lives--of the animals there are increasingly threatened. Set against the dramatic landscape of ice floes and ragged mountains, readers see how polar bears, foxes, seals, walruses, and reindeer now struggle to live in this vulnerable climate. Images of a polar bear mother as she takes her newborns out for their first hunt, a seal pup only hours old, and the spectacle of the polar night are reminders of what is at risk. The authors work like no other photographers: spending months in the field on their expeditions, they live among the polar bears, establishing an uneasy balance and unprecedented access to the world of the kings of the Arctic. Readers are rewarded with unique and stirring images that capture the harsh beauty of a world that few will experience firsthand.
