Описание:
The river otter twins, Lukas and Jaxon, are getting older--old enough for a summer vacation to the ocean. They bring their magic stick and magic rock, and with their parents they journey to the coast of Northern California, but they are immediately tempted by the excitement of a new place to explore. They rush ahead of their parents' warnings and are immediately in over their heads. Luckily, a young sea otter spots them and pulls them to safety. They learn that the sea otter, Becca, is all alone, because her mother lured away a shark to protect her, and hasn't returned. Jaxon agrees to swap his magic rock for Becca's favorite rock, a beautiful crystal, so Becca can use the magic to locate her missing her mother. The magic works great--except it leads Becca not to her mother, but to her aunt and grandfather. Sadly, she learns that her mother has never returned from leading the shark away, and the gulls carried the news that she died to protect her daughter. Becca, her aunt, and grandfather mourn together and agree to live as a family. Jaxon tells Becca to keep the magic rock, in case she needs it again, and Becca tells Jaxon to keep the crystal. Jaxon and Lukas return to their parents and get a scolding for running off, but as they sit together that evening, the twins explain what happened. It's a sad story, but as Jaxon acknowledges that he gave away his magic rock because Becca needed it more than he did, and Lukas promises that he will share his magic stick with Jaxon from now on, the magic in the stick spreads to the crystal, and it becomes magical, too. The twins, glowing with golden magic, stand on their balcony and look out at the ocean, where in the distance they see the bright green glow of the magic from Becca, safe now with her family.
Описание: In Everyday Ambassador Kate Otto brings people together even as our digital networks pull us further apart. In a world of limitless technology, we are more connected than ever before but our hyper-connected lifestyles threaten our ability to know ourselves and interact with each other. By focusing on the four core values that allow us to become truly "connected" in tech-centric societies--empathy, patience, focus, and humility--Otto demonstrates that the power of technology is not in the tool, but in the intention of the person using it. Everyday Ambassador offers a unique solution to those who aspire to truly make a difference in the twenty-first century--revealing the secrets of how to unite people, even when technology keeps us at a distance from others--emotionally and physically. Otto helps us lift our heads up from our cell phones and tablets and take a look at the people standing right in front of us. In a time when good citizenship is the new currency of cool, Everyday Ambassador gives us the tactics to connect in our disconnected world.

Britain has a wealth of museums of all sizes, all with incredible exhibits, yet only the 'big' collections tend to get the limelight. All over the UK are amazing aircraft collections, containing aircraft of world, national or regional importance, many of which the curators of the national institutions would love to have.
With region-by-region coverage, the backgrounds of the formative museums of Great Britain are highlighted along with the pedigrees of their most significant exhibits. Included are such icons as the de Havilland Aircraft Museum - home of the Mosquito; the Brooklands, Museum - headquarters of Sopwith, Hawker and Vickers; the Helicopter Museum - the world's largest rotorcraft collection and Solent Sky - shrine to flying-boats and the Spitfire.
Across Britain are many local collections that helped to pioneer this country's incredible aviation heritage and the role of enthusiasts is highlighted with a profile of the first of them all - the Northern Aircraft Preservation Society and its lineage. Among the 'regionals' are the Dumfries and Galloway, Solway, North East, Newark, Norfolk and Suffolk, Yorkshire and Berkshire museums.
Smaller collections have incredible stories to tell, for example the Martlesham Heath Control Tower Museum - the home of British flight test; the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum - devoted to the vital 'magic eye' of the Battle of Britain, the Glenn Miller Museum - at the airfield from which the band leader departed to his doom and Fort Paul Armouries - dominated by the enormous Beverley airlifter.
Over 150 museums and their most important exhibits are profiled with over 250 photographs, both archive and in full color. Like the other titles in the series, Local Aviation Collections of Britain is a unique reference for anyone interested in Britain's aviation heritage and it provides inspiration for a tour of discovery of the 'unknown' gems of the UK.
