The LEGO toy company was founded in 1934 by a Danish carpenter who
loved making wooden pull toys. From its humble beginnings, the
company has lived up to its name - which comes from the Danish
phrase meaning to always "play well" - encouraging children to use
their imagination and build whatever they can dream up. In this
book, author Jim O'Connor describes how a simple concept - small
plastic bricks that snap together - morphed into a cultural
phenomenon.
Discover the true story of the Twin Towers—how they came to be the tallest buildings in the world and why they were destroyed.
When the Twin Towers were built in 1973, they were billed as an architectural wonder. At 1,368 feet, they clocked in as the tallest buildings in the world and changed the New York City skyline dramatically. Offices and corporations moved into the towers—also known as the World Trade Center—and the buildings were seen as the economic hub of the world. But on September 11, 2001, a terrorist attack toppled the towers and changed our nation forever.
Discover the whole story of the Twin Towers—from their ambitious construction to their tragic end.
Learn how the United States ended up fighting for twenty years in a remote country on the other side of the world.
The Vietnam War was as much a part of the tumultuous Sixties as Flower Power and the Civil Rights Movement. Five US presidents were convinced that American troops could end a war in the small, divided country of Vietnam and stop Communism from spreading in Southeast Asia. But they were wrong, and the result was the death of 58,000 American troops. Presenting all sides of a complicated and tragic chapter in recent history, Jim O'Connor explains why the US got involved, what the human cost was, and how defeat in Vietnam left a lasting scar on America.
"Four score and seven years ago..." begins Abraham Lincoln's
beautiful speech commemorating the three-day battle that turned the
tide of the Civil War. The South had been winning up to this point.
So how did Union troops stop General Robert E. Lee's invasion of
the North? With black-and-illustrations throughout and sixteen
pages of photos, this turning point in history is brought vividly
to life.
The Emperor Titus opened the enormous Colosseum in AD 80 to host
100 days of games and it will astound readers to learn what the
ancient Romans found entertaining. Over 50,000 screaming fans
watched gladiators battling each other to the death, men fighting
exotic wild beasts, and even mock sea battles with warships
floating on an arena floor flooded with water. By AD 476 the Roman
Empire had fallen, and yet the ruins of the Colosseum remain a
world-famous landmark of an unforgettable time.

The morning of August 24, AD 79, seemed like any other in the Roman
city of Pompeii. So no one was prepared when the nearby volcano
Mount Vesuvius suddenly erupted, spouting ash that buried the city
and its inhabitants. The disaster left thousands dead, and Pompeii
was no more than a memory for almost 1,700 years. In 1748,
explorers rediscovered the port city with intact buildings and
beautiful mosaics. This easy-to-read account is gripping and
includes photos of the ruins.
"It is my hope that this volume will aid in illuminating within its
reader's heart the loveliness of the grace of God, and that the
"sufficient grace" of God's great storehouse might be yours." Jim
