A great inspirational and educational story for kids. Lovely realistic paintings as well as photos show off the book well. The story is told from the point of view of Bill's daughter, making it more accessible to kids. The story goes from finding the eggs to raising the geese, to teaching them how to migrate using an ultralight. Excellent for a nature center, school, or home.(amazon customer)

On Aug. 24, A.D. 79, a column of fiery ash &amp; pumice shot into the air from the top of Mt. Vesuvius in Italy. By the next day, the nearby Roman city of Pompeii was buried. More than 1,800 years later archaeologists excavated one of the city's most luxurious houses. Inside were the skeletons of two people: a steward with a leather purse &amp; a seal that said his name was Eros &amp; that he worked for one of the most important families in Pompeii; &amp; a young girl with a bronze ring. This is their story. With fascinating text &amp; splendid color photos &amp; accurate illus., this book recreates the lost world of this buried Roman city &amp; describes how Eros might have lived &amp; how he came to die in his master's house. Also describes the ongoing scientific study of Pompeii.

A treasure trove of precious artifacts lies waiting in the dark - but we now realize that even more valuable is the mummy inside.

What can we learn about life thousands of years ago from the mummified bodies? How can knowledge about ancient peoples help us to better understand ourselves? From the rituals for preserving human bodies to the most up-to-date technology used to study the mummies, this fascinating book provides intriguing details and a personal look at the lives of the people whose remains have survived the millennia.

As thirteen-year-old Peter Nottage stood in the yard, watching in disbelief, a group of Japanese fighter planes swooped down, spraying machine-gun fire across thee water. Then the first bomb dropped - and in minutes, Kaneohe Bay was a sea of smoke and flames. To the south, at Pearl Harbor, the huge ships of the American feet were ablaze. This was no drill. This was war!
