Benjamin Hall presents a touching and educational story to
Partnership Publishing, about the continuous deforestation of the
Amazon. This children's books dives into the affect deforestation
has on our wildlife, and their loss of habitats. "From the depths
of the Amazon Rainforest, a creature emerges... Unknown to humans,
George, the Rainforestness Monster, is the last of his kind. With
his best friend, Sam the monkey in tow, George must avoid the
loggers sent to clear the rainforest if he is to survive." This is
a great story to educate and inspire children about the treatment
of animals and nature!
Dispatches from the Edge meets In an Instant in this dramatic
memoir of war, family, resilience, and recovery from Benjamin Hall,
the Fox News journalist who was gravely injured by a Russian drone
attack in the early days of the invasion of Ukraine. Over the
course of his career, seasoned war correspondent Benjamin Hall
covered some of the deadliest armed conflicts of our time,
including violence in Syria, Libya, and Somalia. But with a young
family at home, Hall chose to trade life on the edge for a safer
beat covering the US Department of State. Then Russia viciously
attacked Ukraine in February 2022. Though he knew the dangers of
war and was no longer traveling to war zones, Hall quickly accepted
the assignment. He had to tell this story-Americans needed to
understand the gravity of this stunning, world-altering conflict.
Though he had witnessed and survived years of violence, on March
14, a month into the invasion of Ukraine, Hall and his crew were
hit by a Russian drone strike, killing his cameraman and a fellow
journalist and gravely injuring him. Stuck inside the warzone, it
was feared Hall might not make it out alive. This is the story of
how he survived-including his dramatic rescue and his arduous and
ongoing recovery. For the first time, Hall shares his experiences
in full-of his time in Ukraine and on the frontlines of the world's
most perilous conflicts, of the terrible attack that nearly killed
him, of the love of his family, of the strength and perseverance it
has taken to endure multiple surgeries and learn how to walk again.
Going inside the events that have permanently transformed him, Hall
speaks honestly about the struggle to step away from the peril and
how his years of experience kept him safe-until they failed him.
And he pays tribute to American service members who not only helped
save him, but decades earlier rescued his father, who, during World
War II at age twelve, escaped a Japanese camp in the Philippines
and eventually reached American GIs. Most remarkably, Hall's spirit
has remained undaunted throughout his ordeal-a spirit of hope and
positivity which infuses this exceptional story. Evocative,
harrowing, and deeply moving, Untitled is a powerful memoir of
family and perseverance, of life and healing, and of what to do
when you are tested in ways you never thought possible. Benjamin
Hall's memoir includes a 16-page color photo insert.
Benjamin Hall Kennedy (1804-1889) was a celebrated Classicist who
enjoyed great success as a lecturer and as an author; his Latin
Primer is still in use today. In this book, originally published in
1882, Kennedy provides both the original text of Aeschylus'
Agamemnon, the first play in the Oresteia trilogy and one of the
most famous extant Greek tragedies, as well as a metrical English
translation and a broad commentary on, among other topics, the
themes of the play, its metrical construction and variations in the
various manuscripts. This book will be of value to Classics
students seeking a guide to this intricate and influential play.
Described by Mary Beard in The Independent as 'the Rolls Royce of
textbooks', Kennedy's classic 1888 guide has remained the
pre-eminent Latin reference grammar in schools and universities for
well over a century. This is a reissue of the first edition, which
appeared the year before the author's death. Benjamin Hall Kennedy
(1804 1889), headmaster of Shrewsbury School for thirty years
before becoming Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge, was
probably assisted by his daughters in producing this completely
revised version of an earlier, unsuccessful publication. From
tables of nouns and verbs to obscure nuances of style, the book
covered all the key points of Latin grammar and was detailed,
well-organised and easy to use. This original Victorian edition
will fascinate present-day students and teachers of Latin and
historians of education.
