Summary

In "Pioneer Boys of the Gold Fields: Or, The Nugget Hunters of '49," Edward Stratemeyer crafts an engaging adventure narrative that encapsulates the excitement and peril of the California Gold Rush. Written in the early 20th century, this novel exemplifies Stratemeyer's characteristic blend of vivid storytelling and historical detail, immersing readers in the trials and triumphs of young prospectors in pursuit of fortune. The book is suffused with themes of friendship, ambition, and resilience, set against the backdrop of a significant period in American history, making it not only an entertaining tale but also a valuable reflection on the spirit of exploration and the American Dream. Edward Stratemeyer, a prolific author and founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, shaped much of early American children's literature with his adventurous tales. Having grown up during an era when dime novels were popular, Stratemeyer was profoundly influenced by the quest for fortune and the youthful spirit of adventure that defined 19th-century America. His experiences and keen understanding of young readers' desires informed his creation of characters that exemplify courage and determination amidst adversity. "Pioneer Boys of the Gold Fields" is highly recommended for those captivated by tales of adventure and history, especially young readers yearning for inspiration and escapism. Its engaging prose and relatable characters make it an ideal choice for both devout fans of historical fiction and newcomers seeking to explore the trials of the gold fields of '49.

    Biafra, known officially as the Republic of Biafra, emerged as a separatist state in West Africa, enduring from May 1967 to January 1970 when it seceded from Nigeria. 
    Its territory encompassed the former eastern region of Nigeria, predominantly inhabited by the Igbo population, now divided into the present south-south and southeastern regions of Africa. Founded by Igbo nationalists, Biafra arose in response to a series of ethnic hostilities that erupted immediately after Nigeria gained independence in 1960, culminating in the 1966 massacres of Igbos and other southern ethnic groups residing in northern Nigeria. Following Biafra's declaration of independence in 1967, Nigeria's military initiated an attack on the country, sparking the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War. 
    Gabon, Haiti, the Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Zambia have all officially acknowledged Biafra. France, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Rhodesia, South Africa, and the Vatican City were among the countries that withheld recognition from Biafra but provided support and assistance. 
    Biafra received aid from non-state entities such as Joint Church Aid, foreign mercenaries, the Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, and Caritas International under their guidance, as well as the United States Catholic Relief Services. In response to the suffering, Médecins Sans Frontières was founded.

    "This audiobook is a touching testament to the power of stories, nature, and love to sustain and connect us." - AudioFile on Everything Left to Remember BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS meets WILD. In this heart wrenching and inspirational memoir a woman and her mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, embark on a road trip through national parks, revisiting the memories, and the mountains, that made them who they are.Steph Jagger lost her mother before she lost her. Her mother, stricken with an incurable disease that slowly erases all sense of self, struggles to remember her favorite drink, her favorite song, and—perhaps most heartbreaking of all—Steph herself. Steph watches as the woman who loved and raised her slips away before getting the chance to tell her story, and so Steph makes a promise: her mother will walk it and she will write it.Too aware of her mother’s waning memory, Steph proposes that the two take a camping trip out to Montana—which her mother, on the urging of Steph’s father, agrees to embark upon. An adventure full of horseback riding, hiking, and “tenting” out West quickly turns into one woman’s reflection on childhood, motherhood, personhood—and what it means to love someone who doesn’t quite remember the person she spent her lifetime becoming.A staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations and from Mother Nature, Everything Left to Remember brings us the wisdom of who our memories make us under the constellations of the vast Montana sky.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books

    These three titles are included in this 3-in-1 bundle: 
    1 - The ability for the brain to encode, store, and recall information is known as memory. Experience serves as a roadmap for future action. 
    Memory includes both consciously recalled facts and experienced details as well as deeply embedded knowledge that pops up without thought or even awareness. It serves as both a temporary information storage space and a more lasting record of what has been learned. Scientists have identified several different types of memory, including episodic, semantic, procedural, working, sensory, and prospective memory. 
    From the vivid memories of episodic memory to the practical knowledge of procedural memory, each type of memory has a specific purpose. 
    2 - Your subconscious is a priceless potential repository of information, insight, and wisdom. But the majority of us never use that talent to its fullest. 
    Using hypnosis, you can access your subconscious. You can communicate with it immediately when under hypnosis. This can assist you in obtaining important knowledge and bringing about positive changes in your life. 
    Your subconscious is the area of your mind that generally escapes your awareness yet has a significant impact on how you live. 
    For instance, your subconscious has a role in controlling such essential bodily processes as breathing and heartbeat. 
    3 - The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields. 
    Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons.
