                      Sir Henry Rider Haggard

 ( 22 June 1856 – 14 May 1925), known as H. Rider Haggard, was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the "LOST WORLD" literary genre.He was also involved in agricultural reform throughout the British Empire. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential.

During the 19th century, Haggard was one of many individuals who contributed to children's literature. MORTON N. COHEN described KING SOLOMON'S MINE as a story that has "universal interest, for grown-ups as well as youngsters".Haggard himself wanted to write the book for boys, but it ultimately had an influence on children and adults around the world. Cohen explained, "King Solomon’s Mines was being read in the public schools [and] aloud in class-rooms".

Tasks completion generally requires the coordination of others.

Coordination allows for the successful completion of the othe...

Check out these official national symbols of the Philippines: Credit: Google NATIONAL ANIMAL: CARABAO If common men have dogs as their best friend, then the carabao or Philippine water buffalo is the Filipino farmer’s best friend. They’re beasts of burden, able to do almost everything that needs to be done on the rice fields, including carry the farmer and his goods.
