Synopsis

In "The Dreadnought Boys' World Cruise," John Henry Goldfrap crafts an adventurous narrative that captivates young readers with its imaginative depiction of global exploration in the early 20th century. Written in a lively, engaging style, the book is imbued with a sense of camaraderie and whimsy, chronicling the daring escapades of a group of boys aboard a naval vessel as they traverse various continents. Goldfrap's vivid descriptions and fast-paced dialogue not only entertain but also serve as a subtle commentary on the maritime culture of the time, reflecting the burgeoning interest in adventure literature during the era of exploration and imperialism. John Henry Goldfrap, often recognized for his contributions to juvenile literature, drew inspiration from his extensive travels and fascination with naval history. His background, likely influenced by the contemporary fascination with technology and seafaring, infused his writing with authenticity and a sense of purpose, allowing young readers to connect with the themes of bravery and friendship. Goldfrap's unique lens places his characters in situations that challenge both their nautical skills and moral compasses, making for a well-rounded narrative. This book is an excellent recommendation for young readers who crave adventure and camaraderie, while also serving as an engaging educational tool about naval life and global awareness. "The Dreadnought Boys' World Cruise" promises to ignite the imagination and inspire a love of exploration, making it a timeless addition to any young adventurer's bookshelf.

    The evolutionary path from the original primates to modern man is a long one and has taken many twists and turns, but naturally, as the fossil record grows, scientists gain a more complete understanding of our own mental and physical history in terms of genetics and anatomy. However, the correct order and relationships of the various specimen types are difficult to pin down. Many representative samples have been found in such minute amounts as to not preclude anomalies. They have been discovered in various stages of wear. Modern features did not occur simultaneously or uniformly, taking millions of years to become manifest in later types. Up to the present day’s Homo sapiens, examples of the main types have been hybrids of older and more modern features. 
    	One of the earliest species of the genus Homo to be discovered is Homo habilis, which basically means “handy man.” The name comes from the belief at the time of its discovery that this species was the first to start using stone tools. The first fossils to be uncovered in Olduvai Gorge were from the same stratigraphic layer as simple stone tools. Fossils of the crania and postcranial skeleton for this species have been found in both eastern and southern Africa and date to around 2.5–1.6 million years ago.  
    	Given the gradual changes that take place in evolution, Homo habilis shares a number of characteristics that are similar to the genus Australopithecus, such as in the postcranial elements. That said, the size and shape of the Homo habilis skull are markedly different. The size of the brain is much larger relative to the size of the body, being around 680 cc. In order to house a larger brain, the skull features a more vertical frontal bone, creating a more vertical forehead. The brow ridges that sit on the lower portion of the frontal bone are also reduced in size.

    Monster by William Morrison - Colonizing Mars was hell, because of one thing—large, hungry critters. They flew, crawled, snarled, howled, burrowed up under the floors, chewed at doors and windows. And then, to make things worse, came the Monster... 
    There was a faint scratching at the door, so faint that Alice Kidd, who had been listening fearfully for precisely that sound, was at first not certain that she heard it. But, as she came close to the doorway, it was no longer possible to doubt, and a chill went through her at the thought of the creature panting eagerly on the other side. Now she could hear it whine, and, despite her knowledge that the gesture was an idle one, she could not help once more feeling the bolt behind the door. Then she made sure that the shutters too were securely barred, although these were usually in less danger; most of the animals could not apply pressure very far above the ground. 
    Small was staring at her, not particularly frightened, but very much interested. Her face, she thought, must be pale through the radiation tan. Ordinarily, there was nothing timid or fragile about her, or she would never have accompanied her husband to Mars; but all the same, she felt weak and helpless before the danger that threatened. And she shuddered as her five-year-old son asked, "Can it get in, Mommy?" 
    "I hope not, darling. Come, let's go into the other room and bolt the connecting door. And then I'll call up Daddy." 
    "Does it want to eat us, Mommy?" 
    Alice shuddered again. "Don't talk about it," she said, and carried him quickly into the next room. When the door was bolted, she pressed the contact button, asked for Mr. Kidd, and almost at once was speaking to Anthony.
