DOWNLOAD EBOOKJosephine Chase's novel, 'Marjorie Dean, High School Senior,' is a compelling coming-of-age story set in the early 20th century. The book follows Marjorie Dean as she navigates the challenges and triumphs of her final year of high school, exploring themes of friendship, identity, and personal growth.

Chase's background in education and her passion for empowering young women shine through in her writing, making 'Marjorie Dean, High School Senior' a timeless and relatable tale for readers of all ages. I highly recommend 'Marjorie Dean, High School Senior' to fans of classic literature and coming-of-age stories.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKActing as the planet's air conditioner, the rainforest sucks up millions of tons of greenhouse gases and stores them safely out of the atmosphere. South America's deforestation threatens to unleash a kind of "carbon bomb" that will add to our already deteriorating climate difficulties. As he travels across Peru and Brazil, recognized South America expert Nikolas Kozloff talks to locals, scientists and activists about the rainforest and what should be done to avert its collapse. Drawing on his expertise of South American politics, Kozloff argues that cooperation between the world's countries is essential in turning back the tide of climate change and that the fate of the planet depends on our response to environmental problems within the southern hemisphere.
