Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Historical Mystery for Middle-Grade Readers-in English and French'An inspiring tale of two soul-sisters who reach across the mists of time to help each other heal. Daphne and Lily and a cast of intriguing characters, including a mysterious alchemist, have much to teach us about hope, responsibility, and goodness in this gem of a story.'-New York Times best-selling author Paul KemprecosWhat if you could talk to someone who truly understood what you were going through-even if they lived 250 years ago Two years after the death of her beloved parents, twelve-year-old Daphne Whalen returns to Gabarus, Nova Scotia, the quiet Canadian fishing village where she was born, and to the faded pink house that was her family's home. Daphne expects to feel sadness and grief about losing her mother and father. She doesn't expect to hear whispering in the empty house.Through the open door of the vacant pink house, Daphne begins to hear the story of Lily, a ten-year-old girl who lived right there in 1758, 250 years before. As Lily whispers across the centuries, she describes the night British warships filled the harbor and soldiers came knocking in the dark.The Pink House is the story of two girls. Two conflicts. Two families torn apart. And a house that holds their stories, waiting for someone ready to listen. Through the mysterious power of the house, two hearts separated in time but connected by destiny learn what it really means to be brave.Et si tu pouvais parler à quelqu'un qui comprend vraiment ce que tu traverses - même si cette personne a vécu il y a 250 ans La Maison Rose est l'histoire de deux fillettes séparées par 250 ans. C'est aussi l'histoire de deux conflits et de deux familles déchirées. Et d'une vieille maison qui renferme leurs histoires, en attendant que quelqu'un soit prêt à les écouter. Grâce au pouvoir mystérieux de la maison, deux coeurs séparés par le temps, mais liés par le destin, apprennent ce que signifie vraiment le courage. Marmont, Rosanna (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Engineering at the Ends of the Earth-and the Center of HistoryTalking Through My Hard Hatis a sweeping, real-world journey through the life of John J. Scheuren, Jr., a pioneering civil engineer whose work contributed to some of the most consequential global developments of his time. From Arctic and Antarctic expeditions to massive infrastructure and defense projects across the United States, Europe, Africa, West Indies, and Asia, Scheuren's career offers a rare ground-level view of history in the making.Completed shortly before his death in 1995, this memoir blends vivid storytelling with sharp technical insight. Scheuren reflects on the challenges of building pipelines, canals, airfields, and defense systems in some of the most demanding environments on Earth. His firsthand accounts-whether widening the Cape Cod Canal or building the Lincoln Tunnel, the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System in Greenland, or an ice-free runway in Antarctica-reveal a generation of engineers defined by ingenuity, courage, and hands-on mastery.Rich with anecdotes, global encounters, and observations drawn from his meticulous field notes, Talking Through My Hard Hat offers a rare window into mid-century engineering, polar exploration, and wartime construction. Talking Through My Hard Hat is more than a memoir. It is a vivid reminder of the people and principles behind the infrastructure we depend on every day.'Engineering has given us the means to shape the world in ways no previous generation could imagine. Whether that world improves or declines will depend not on our machines, but on ourselves.'-John J. Scheuren, Jr.…
