Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor


Book Description

My name is Magnus Chase. Two months ago I died fighting a fire giant and woke up in Hotel Valhalla as one of Odin's warriors. Time for a rest ? I wish. When I meet Otis, an informant with a lead on Thor's missing hammer, all I get is the name "Provincetown" before a wolf-masked assassin takes him out and warms me to stay away. Someone really doesn't want me to find the hammer, and even if I could it's rumoured to be underground, guarded by powerful magic. But the giant armies are on the move, preparing to invade. If I don't find it, they'll ravage the Nine Worlds, starting with the streets of Boston. There's just one person who could help. Someone who demands a very high price: the gods' worst enemy, Loki.




The Way Things Work Now


Book Description

A New York Times Bestseller Explainer-in-Chief David Macaulay updates the worldwide bestseller The New Way Things Work to capture the latest developments in the technology that most impacts our lives. Famously packed with information on the inner workings of everything from windmills to Wi-Fi, this extraordinary and humorous book both guides readers through the fundamental principles of machines, and shows how the developments of the past are building the world of tomorrow. This sweepingly revised edition embraces all of the latest developments, from touchscreens to 3D printer. Each scientific principle is brilliantly explained--with the help of a charming, if rather slow-witted, woolly mammoth. An illustrated survey of significant inventions closes the book, along with a glossary of technical terms, and an index. What possible link could there be between zippers and plows, dentist drills and windmills? Parking meters and meat grinders, jumbo jets and jackhammers, remote control and rockets, electric guitars and egg beaters? Macaulay explains them all.

Magnus harus membawa calon pengantin perempuan serta maskawin untuk dipersembahkan kepada Thrym. Magnus dan kawan-kawannya tak punya pilihan lain. Mereka mesti segera menjalankan misi pengembalian Mjolnir. Sekalipun memenuhi semua persyaratan itu dalam waktu singkat bukanlah hal mudah.
