"The Mammoth and the Treasure Hunt," a sweet book for kids, is about a young mammoth named Max who lives in a green valley surrounded by tall mountains. Max is different from the other animals in the valley because he is always interested in new things and has big dreams. Max's best friends are Ellie the elephant, Leo the lion, Ollie the owl, and Timmy the turtle. They are a diverse group of animals, and each has its own unique traits. Max is very happy as he sits with his friends under a big oak tree on a warm morning. He talks about a vivid dream in which he saw a shiny gold chest buried deep in the mountains. His friends are interested in his dream, so they plan to go on a treasure hunt together. Max tells them about their plan and stresses that the treasure isn't just money, but also the information, lessons, and memories they'll make along the way. They will have to be brave, smart, and work together as they go on this trip through rough terrain, deep woods, and freezing streams. Along the way, they find secret caves, beautiful waterfalls, and friendly animals that tell them stories and help them find their way. Their journey is marked by puzzles, problems, and learning how important it is to work together. Ollie the owl gives Max a puzzle to solve one night around the campfire, which Max does very well. This shows that their goal isn't just about getting a physical treasure; it's also about working together to overcome problems and find solutions. They go deeper into the mountains until they reach the middle of the range and find a secret cave that is lit by a warm golden light. There, instead of gold or jewels, they find a box full of scrolls and books with stories and information from past generations. Max knows this is the treasure he had been looking for: knowledge gleaned over many years, the thrill of going on trips together, and the bond of true friendship. They gather around the box, and each of them takes out a scroll to read out loud. They are happy and laughing. They know that the journey itself and the memories they've made together are the most valuable things. As they walk back to their lush green valley, they carry the weight of new knowledge and the unbreakable value of friendship. They know that their connection will stay strong no matter where their adventures take them, helping them through all the exciting things that are yet to come. "The Mammoth and the Treasure Hunt" is a sweet story about how friendship, dreams, and shared adventures can make life more meaningful. Children learn that the most important things in life are often found on the trip and in the people, we meet along the way. Story Begins: Max, a young mammoth, lived in a beautiful green valley tucked away between tall mountains. This beautiful scenery was the setting for Max's amazing life, which made him different from the other mammoths in the valley. Max was amazing and a sign of being unique. He captured the hearts of everyone who knew him. His sheer size was amazing, and his huge frame was an ode to the beauty of the natural world. Max was unique not only because of his size, but also because of the wonder in his eyes, the thrill seeking spirit in his heart, and the dreams that grew inside him. Max was always interested in new things, so he went exploring in the valley he called home. Max would get lost in the thick forests, drawn there by the wind's whispers and the secrets hidden in the old trees. Other mammoths were happy to graze on the tasty, soft grasses. He would study the ice streams in the valley by following their winding paths with unwavering dedication. Because he was so interested in everything, every rock and flower seemed like a prize waiting to be found. He had an adventurous spirit that knew no bounds. Max would often get together with his friends, a group of different animals from the valley, and take them on exciting adventures into the unknown. They did everything from climbing the highest peaks of the nearby mountains to jumping into pools of clear water that were hidden deep in the trees. Max's excitement made his friends want to go on adventures with him because they knew any trip with him would be full of surprises and fun. But Max's dreamy heart might have been what made him unique. He had dreams that were as big as the mountains that circled the valley and as high as the birds that flew so gracefully through the sky. Max dreamed of finding lost treasures, figuring out the mysteries of the world, and making his mark on the history of time. Not only were his dreams just wild thoughts, but they were also what kept him going and gave him hope when things got hard in real life.
Robert M. Edsel brings the story of his #1 NYT bestseller for adults The Monuments Men to young readers for the first time in this dynamic, narrative nonfiction project packed with photos. Robert M. Edsel, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Monuments Men, brings this story to young readers for the first time in a sweeping, dynamic adventure detailing history's greatest treasure hunt.As the most destructive war in history ravaged Europe, many of the world's most cherished cultural objects were in harm's way. The Greatest Treasure Hunt in History recounts the astonishing true story of 11 men and one woman who risked their lives amidst the bloodshed of World War II to preserve churches, libraries, monuments, and works of art that for centuries defined the heritage of Western civilization. As the war raged, these American and British volunteers -- museum curators, art scholars and educators, architects, archivists, and artists, known as the Monuments Men -- found themselves in a desperate race against time to locate and save the many priceless treasures and works of art stolen by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
History—natural history, human history, and personal history—and place are the cornerstones of The Eye of the Mammoth. Stephen Harrigan's career has taken him from the Alaska Highway to the Chihuahuan Desert, from the casinos of Monaco to his ancestors' village in the Czech Republic. And now, in this new edition, he movingly recounts in "Off Course" a quest to learn all he can about his father, who died in a plane crash six months before he was born. Harrigan's deceptively straightforward voice belies an intense curiosity about things that, by his own admission, may be "unknowable." Certainly, we are limited in what we can know about the inner life of George Washington, the last days of Davy Crockett, the motives of a caged tiger, or a father we never met, but Harrigan's gift—a gift that has also made him an award-winning novelist—is to bring readers closer to such things, to make them less remote, just as a cave painting in the title essay eerily transmits the living stare of a long-extinct mammoth.

Set in the challenging terrain of Ice Age Europe that millions of Jean Auel’s readers have come to treasure, The Mammoth Hunters is an epic novel of love, knowledge, jealousy, and hard choices—a novel certain to garner Jean Auel even greater acclaim as a master storyteller of the dawn of humanity. Ayla, the independent heroine of The Clan of the Cave Bear and The Valley of Horses, sets out from the valley on Whinney, the horse she tamed. With her is Jondalar, the tall, handsome, yellow-haired man she nursed back to health and came to love. Together they meet the Mamutoi—the Mammoth Hunters—people like Ayla. But to Ayla, who was raised by the Clan of the Cave Bear, they are “the Others.” She approaches them with mixed feelings of fear and curiosity. Talut, a powerful bear of a man with bright red hair, a booming laugh, and a gentle heart, and his tall, dark-haired sister, Tulie, are the leaders of the Lion Camp of the Mamutoi. It is here that Ayla finds her first women friends, but some among the Mamutoi dislike Ayla because she was raised by “flatheads,” their name for the people of the Clan. Ayla is haunted by her memories of the Clan because Rydag, a child of mixed parentage living with the Mamutoi, bears so strong a resemblance to her own son, Durc. It is the Mamutoi master carver of ivory—dark-skinned Ranec, flirtatious, artistic, magnetic—who fascinates Ayla. She finds herself drawn to him. Because of her uncanny control over animals, her healing skills, and the magic firestone she discovered, Ayla is adopted into the Mammoth Hearth by Mamut, the ancient shaman of the Great Earth Mother. Ayla finds herself torn between her strong feelings for Ranec and her powerful love for the wildly jealous and unsure Jondalar. It is not until after the great mammoth hunt, when Ayla’s life is threatened, that a fateful decision is made. This eBook includes the full text of the novel plus the following additional content: • An Earth’s Children® series sampler including free chapters from the other books in Jean M. Auel’s bestselling series • A Q&A with the author about the Earth’s Children® series

From the author of the acclaimed Everybody Was So Young, the definitive and major biography of the great choreographer and Broadway legend Jerome Robbins To some, Jerome Robbins was a demanding perfectionist, a driven taskmaster, a theatrical visionary; to others, he was a loyal friend, a supportive mentor, a generous and entertaining companion and colleague. Born Jerome Rabinowitz in New York City in 1918, Jerome Robbins repudiated his Jewish roots along with his name only to reclaim them with his triumphant staging of Fiddler on the Roof. A self-proclaimed homosexual, he had romances or relationships with both men and women, some famous—like Montgomery Clift and Natalie Wood—some less so. A resolutely unpolitical man, he was forced to testify before Congress at the height of anti-Communist hysteria. A consummate entertainer, he could be paralyzed by shyness; nearly infallible professionally, he was conflicted, vulnerable, and torn by self-doubt. Guarded and adamantly private, he was an inveterate and painfully honest journal writer who confided his innermost thoughts and aspirations to a remarkable series of diaries and memoirs. With ballets like Dances at a Gathering, Afternoon of a Faun, and The Concert, he humanized neoclassical dance; with musicals like On the Town, Gypsy, and West Side Story, he changed the face of theater in America. In the pages of this definitive biography, Amanda Vaill takes full measure of the complicated, contradictory genius who was Jerome Robbins. She re-creates his childhood as the only son of Russian Jewish immigrants; his apprenticeship as a dancer and Broadway chorus gypsy; his explosion into prominence at the age of twenty-five with the ballet Fancy Free and its Broadway incarnation, On the Town; and his years of creative dominance in both theater and dance. She brings to life his colleagues and friends—from Leonard Bernstein and George Balanchine to Robert Wilson and Robert Graves—and his loves and lovers. And she tells the full story behind some of Robbins’s most difficult episodes, such as his testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee and his firing from the film version of West Side Story. Drawing on thousands of pages of documents from Robbins’s personal and professional papers, to which she was granted unfettered access, as well as on other archives and hundreds of interviews, Somewhere is a riveting narrative of a life lived onstage, offstage, and backstage. It is also an accomplished work of criticism and social history that chronicles one man’s phenomenal career and places it squarely in the cultural ferment of a time when New York City was truly “a helluva town.”
This is a story of a boy growing up in a Boston suburb near where his ancestors had settled three centuries before. He attends elite private schools and Union Theological Seminary, training to be a Protestant pastor. He marries Annette and they raise four children in suburban Rochester and the inner-city neighborhoods of Buffalo, New York. They help Saul Alinsky create a mass-based community organization to empower the dispossessed. Annette teaches social work at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Always moving West, they settle in Berkeley, California. They lose their political innocence during the Vietnam War, join a commune and are blind-sided by the power of cults. The family backpacks every summer in the Sierra Nevada. Annette teaches in the University of California School of Public Health. Howard, trained now as a sociologist of religion, advises groups planning to begin new churches in West Coast suburbs. Through meditation, creative use of their imagination, and workshops at Esalen, they explore aspects of themselves that had been cut off by their East Coast upbringing. They move to Benicia, California, where Annette blocks the railroad tracks over which munitions trains pass; Howard has a compelling dream of descent into the Void. After his ten-year pastorate, they retire to Claremont, California, where Annette dies in 1997.
