Summary

In "Two Boys of the Battleship; Or, For the Honor of Uncle Sam," Frank V. Webster immerses readers in a thrilling adventure aboard a United States battleship during the early 20th century. Through the eyes of two spirited young protagonists, Webster explores themes of bravery, patriotism, and camaraderie amidst the backdrop of naval warfare and adventure. The narrative is characterized by Webster's straightforward and engaging prose, appealing to a youthful audience while simultaneously reflecting the era's fervent nationalism and the romanticized image of military service, mirroring trends in early American boys' literature that often celebrated valor and sacrifice. Frank V. Webster, a pseudonym for the prolific author and editor, crafted numerous works aimed at encouraging young boys to embody the ideals of honesty, bravery, and loyalty. His background, including extensive writing for youth and an interest in military history, likely influenced the development of this gripping tale, ensuring a blend of factual naval practices with thrilling fiction designed to inspire young readers to dream of heroism and adventure. This book is highly recommended for young readers seeking thrilling escapism and life lessons woven into the fabric of adventure. Webster's ability to balance action with moral instruction makes this tale not only entertaining but also a valuable addition to the canon of children's literature, igniting the imagination of those eager to explore themes of duty and honor.

    Megalodon The: The History and...

    As scary as the shark in Jaws is, the extinct megalodon had teeth three times the length of those found within the jaws of a great white shark, so a human would only have been a small snack. In fact, the megalodon was capable of swallowing a small car. Known to scientists as Otodus megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon (otodus meaning “tooth shaped like an ear”; carcharocles meaning “well known for jaggedness”; and megalodon meaning “big tooth”), this predator lived approximately 23–3.6 million years ago), from the early Miocene Epoch to the early Pliocene Epoch. The genus name Otodus and the family name Otodontidae are now the most commonly used, but scientific literature remains full of the older designation, and many of the shark experts regard the new family designation as flawed.  
	For many years, megalodon was thought to be more closely related to the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and though both are still part of the order Lamniformes, the two species now reside in different families: Lamnidae and Otodontidae (megalodon). Either way, while great white sharks can reach sizes of 20 feet long and nearly 2.5 tons in weight, the average megalodon was twice as big, and some of them may have been about three times as big. The sheer size allowed it to target prey as big as whales, and the massive jaw allowed it to simply tear through any kind of body with no regard for the prey’s most vulnerable spots.  
	While all of that seems to be beyond dispute, almost everything else about the history of the megalodon is up for debate, from its origins to its extinction.  The Megalodon: The History and Legacy of the World’s Largest Prehistoric Predator covers that expansive history in detail, from what is known to what remains most mysterious.
