Story
Werner Herzog was born in September 1942 in Munich, Germany, at a turning point in the Second World War. Soon Germany would be defeated and a new world would have to be made out the rubble and horrors of the war. Fleeing the Allied bombing raids, Herzog’s mother took him and his older brother to a remote, rustic part of Bavaria where he would spend much of his childhood hungry, without running water, in deep poverty. It was there, as the new postwar order was emerging, that one of the most visionary filmmakers of the next seven decades was formed.

This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence—young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day.

In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution--a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had been able to do on land. And the race was on....

In the 23rd century, humanity has been hunted to the verge of extinction by an alien race.

To save humanity, they must somehow return to the stars. Thus begins a decades-long effort to teach the Vikings to build a craft capable of reaching space - a ship that will come to be known as the Iron Dragon.

A lot of fun
This book had great ideas for activities for older kids. I particularly enjoyed the historical adventure stories and geography/science question and answer chapters. Conn made complex topics very easy to understand. Kids will love the volcano facts! The pdf was helpful but I also read the book at the same time, which was great for the pictures and illustrations. The narrator was easy to listen to and made it easy to finish the book in no time.
