They are organized in a way that allows for quick response to crises such as Hurricane Katrina and Tropical Storm Rita. Learning about this special part of the US military will appeal to readers of all abilities! Artwork including full-color photographs and diagrams bring this book to life, and a historical frame of reference is provided on each spread through fascinating fact boxes.

Hannah War-Daughter and Fuzbud, the wizards apprentice, once again find themselves on a desperate and dangerous journey, this time to save their Princess Nightshade. No one knows for sure where she is or why she was taken. Faith and determination send them separately far away, searching for almost mythical places and beings. Hannah searches for an evil place known as Black Mountain, and Fuzbud and Saraly, his friend, comb the mountains for a unicorn, hardly daring to believe they even exist any more. Their success or failure will change the fate of their whole kingdom.

Excerpt from Astronomy of the BibleThe volume here offered to the public contains the last finished astronomical work of Professor Mitchel; and, with those that he published before his death, constitutes a series which, if not exhaustive of the accepted divisions of the science, presents, in outline, its great physical features and its ethical relations. The Planetary and Stellar Worlds, published in 1848, contained a popular exposition of the important discoveries and splendid theories of modern astronomy. It traced the progress of the great science from the primitive ages, showing how, little by little, the true theory dawned upon the feeble mind of man, fearful and long unwilling to receive it; it presented the great laws, with copious and eloquent illustration; it ofi'ered clear solu tions of the wondrous problems; discussed the discovery of new planets and the characteristics of the cometary world; displayed the grandeur of the scale upon which the universe is built, and showed the benevolent provisions for its perma nent stability.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
