All Thirteen: The Incredible Cave Rescue of the Thai Boys' Soccer Team
Author: Christina Soontornvat
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536216089
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
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.

Future Sea
Author: Deborah Rowan Wright
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022654270X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
A counterintuitive and compelling argument that existing laws already protect the entirety of our oceans—and a call to understand and enforce those protections. The world’s oceans face multiple threats: the effects of climate change, pollution, overfishing, plastic waste, and more. Confronted with the immensity of these challenges and of the oceans themselves, we might wonder what more can be done to stop their decline and better protect the sea and marine life. Such widespread environmental threats call for a simple but significant shift in reasoning to bring about long-overdue, elemental change in the way we use ocean resources. In Future Sea, ocean advocate and marine-policy researcher Deborah Rowan Wright provides the tools for that shift. Questioning the underlying philosophy of established ocean conservation approaches, Rowan Wright lays out a radical alternative: a bold and far-reaching strategy of 100 percent ocean protection that would put an end to destructive industrial activities, better safeguard marine biodiversity, and enable ocean wildlife to return and thrive along coasts and in seas around the globe. Future Sea is essentially concerned with the solutions and not the problems. Rowan Wright shines a light on existing international laws intended to keep marine environments safe that could underpin this new strategy. She gathers inspiring stories of communities and countries using ocean resources wisely, as well as of successful conservation projects, to build up a cautiously optimistic picture of the future for our oceans—counteracting all-too-prevalent reports of doom and gloom. A passionate, sweeping, and personal account, Future Sea not only argues for systemic change in how we manage what we do in the sea but also describes steps that anyone, from children to political leaders (or indeed, any reader of the book), can take toward safeguarding the oceans and their extraordinary wildlife.

Break Out
Author: Leonard Gaultois
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525520822
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Having already fended off planetary destruction by a malicious alien race, the denizens of Earth are now keenly aware that they are not alone in the universe. The Earth Protection Services (EPS) has been established, and for the first time, humans are braving the dark regions of space to meet other races, both friendly and dangerous. In due time, it is expected that Earth will become part of the Federation, linked to other solar systems through money and trade—but this transition will not come easily. Dr. Doug Hansen is the captain of the Ranger, Earth’s first spaceship capable of moving at speeds faster than light. While on a secret mission to salvage abandoned alien aircrafts, the ship intercepts a disturbing distress call from an uncharted solar system: “To whoever receives this message; we beseech you, please help us.” Torn between his duties for the EPS, his desire to protect Earth from intergalactic threats, and his inclination to help the oppressed, Doug makes a decision that catalyzes a major shift in Earth’s role in the known universe; alliances and enemies quickly begin to reveal themselves, all wanting to seize this opportunity. As the second book in Leonard Gaultois’ The Founders Series, Break Out expands the vast and fascinating universe introduced in Brain Drain (2014). With complex characters and believable futuristic technologies, Gaultois brings us a space opera full of unexpected turns, as well as a surprising glimpse into what politics would look like when expanded beyond the limits of Earth.
