    • Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts unternimmt der »Zeitreisende« – ein nicht namentlich genannter Erfinder – einen Ausflug in das Jahr 802.701, wo er zwei verschiedene Menschenrassen antrifft: die scheinbar sorgenfrei und glücklich an der Erdoberfläche lebenden Eloi und die unterirdischen Morlocks. Erst mit der Zeit findet er heraus, dass zwischen den Eloi und den Morlocks ein Anhängigkeitsverhältnis besteht, das seine schlimmsten Befürchtungen übertrifft! Nach einem Abstecher in die ferne Zukunft, wo über der stillstehenden Erde ein riesiger roter Feuerball lodert, kehrt er in die Gegenwart zurück. Da ihm jedoch niemand Glauben schenken will, begibt er sich erneut auf die Reise … Diese Ausgabe enthält neben einem Nachwort des Wells-Experten Elmar Schenkel die gestrichenen Passagen ›Die Rückkehr des Zeitreisenden«; drei Vorworte der Ausgaben der Jahre 1924, 1931 und 1934; den Vorläufer: ›Die Chrononauten‹ aus dem Jahr 1888 sowie die Essays aus dem Jahr 1893 ›Der Mann aus dem Jahr 1.000.000. Eine wissenschaftliche Vorausschau‹ und›Das Aussterben des Menschen. Einige spekulative Gedanken‹ von 1894.

    • Tenzing Norgay was the son of poor Tibetan immigrants living in Nepal. He longed to see the world but was told he could aspire to be little more than a servant. Edmund Hillary was a humble beekeeper from New Zealand, who spent his youth dreaming of adventures he could never hope to experience. And Everest was the ultimate adventure. The mountain's peak is the highest point on Earth, stretching beyond the clouds. So dangerous and challenging, Everest had never been successfully climbed and many had died trying. In 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary joined a team of explorers determined to reach its top. Alone at the top of the world with their oxygen running low, they faced brutal elements and new dangers at every turn. And they were armed with little more than their courage, determination, and a belief in each other. But would that be enough to achieve the impossible, what no man had done before?

      While we all know that large-scale industrialization began in the eighteenth century, the Industrial Revolution truly began in Germany with Johannes Gutenberg and his printing press. His innovation made it possible to mass-produce books, which spread literacy and knowledge all across Europe. It was in the eighteenth century, however, that manual labor started being replaced by what we today know as machines. First in Europe came Thomas Newcomen and James Watt and the steam engine. Then came John Kay and his flying shuttle, which led to the development of the textile industry. Then, in the United States, there was Robert Fulton and his steamboat, and Eli Whitney and his cotton gin. Finally, it was Henry Ford whose mass-produced vehicles made cars affordable to all. The Industrial Revolution continues to this day as formerly less developed countries, especially in Asia, have taken to rapid industrialization to improve their economy. Lexile Reading Level 800L.

      Abraham Lincoln: From the Log Cabin to the White House
    • Tenzing Norgay byl syn chudých tibetských přistěhovalců žijících v Nepálu, který toužil vidět svět. Jeho původ ho však předurčoval pouze do role sluhy. Edmund Hillary byl pokorný včelař z Nového Zélandu, který strávil své mládí sněním o velkém dobrodružství. Tito dva muži se přes svůj různý původ sešli v roce 1953 u paty nejvyšší hory světa, Everestu. Hory tak nebezpečné a náročné, že ji do té doby nikdo nepokořil a mnozí z těch, kteří se o to pokusili, zaplatili za tuto výzvu životem. Norgay a Hillary se připojili k týmu průzkumníků rozhodnuti tentokrát vrchol dobýt. Jaká byla jejich cesta, plná nebezpečí číhajícím na každém kroku, s jakými nástrahami se museli potýkat a jak velké bylo jejich odhodlání a víra, aby nakonec dosáhli toho, co před nimi žádný člověk nedokázal? V komiksovém zpracování přinášíme čtenářům od 8 let poutavé dobrodružství o velké touze, odvaze a odhodlání, které byly třeba k dobytí nejvyšší hory světa.
