Harriet, Jack, and Toby are treasure hunters, searching the Minecraft world for its most valuable hidden secrets. In an abandoned mineshaft, they discovered a lost journal that once belonged to William, a legendary explorer who has gone missing. The first journal took them on a daring adventure to a secret temple deep in the desert. Now they have the second journal, and they’re more determined than ever to find the missing explorer. The treasure hunters build a portal and travel to the Nether. Even with the help of the second journal detailing survival strategies for the dangerous biome, the gang is in trouble when they realize two sinister treasure hunters, Valentino and Veronica, are trailing them. Will they make it out alive, or are they in over their heads this time? This is the second book in the new Lost Minecraft Journals series.

Ferdinand Magellan made one of the most famous ocean voyages of all time. He left Spain in 1519 with five ships. He was trying to find a quicker route to the Spice Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, he encountered many problems. Many of his men turned against him. He ran into heavy storms. Food and fresh water were often in short supply. But he kept going-until he was killed in battle. A year later, one of his ships returned to Spain. It was the first time anyone had sailed all the way around the world. Although Magellan did not complete the trip, he is given credit, for without his inspired leadership, the voyage would never have succeeded.
Ferdinand Magellan was a famed Portuguese explorer. His voyage, launched in 1519, led to the discovery that the globe could be circumnavigated by sea. Although Magellan himself did not survive the incredible journey that led to this discover, his contributions to the scientific understanding of Earth's surface were inestimable. This dynamic and thorough history of Magellan's expedition will intrigue readers and impart to them a greater knowledge of important social studies and science topics.
World Bank Discussion Paper No. 281. This study examines the best practices of eight OECD countries--Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States--in designing national policies and programs to accelerate the effective use of information technology in support of industrial competitiveness. New technologies in computing, communications, and multimedia are changing the competitive advantage of industries, services, and entire economies. Enterprises must therefore increase their technological development and education through government assistance. The emerging experience is rich and diverse. The study draws on the tacit knowledge of the designers and implementors of national policies and programs to establish key rules-of-thumb for future programs. The authors outline broad directions for adapting these practices to the conditions of developing countries.
