Book Description
How can one pilot cram so much into a single lifetime? Climb into Captain Terry Reece's cockpit, fasten your seatbelt, and hold on for an exciting journey into the world of aviation. Born to a family of transplanted North Carolinians who moved to Washington State, a young Reece explored the hills of the Pacific Northwest. Hiking in the mountains and being a fire lookout gave him a taste of adventure, but he craved more-and he got it. Reece's first flying lesson ended in a cloud of billowing dust, ripped metal, and broken Plexiglas. But that didn't keep him grounded. Over the next few years, he navigated his Lockheed C-130 to steamy nights in Rangoon, risky undercover aircraft deliveries to Libya, icy Arctic expeditions, and desperate flights out of the desert with machine guns pointed at his gut, to landing Boeing jets on short, icy runways on Alaska's Aleutian Chain. Reece's entertaining biography delves into the fast-paced world of aviation and is filled with compassion, danger, bits of humor, and the follies of youth. It's also the remarkable tale of how Reece and his wife, Nancy, sought to keep his dream of flying alive through the years. From the freezing, isolated North Pole to the heat and heart of Africa, "Flying North South East and West" takes you to every direction on the compass and leads you to the adventure of a lifetime.

The Earth Is Flat! - The Vedic Perspective

Book Description
From the perspective of Vedic scripture( commonly referred to as the Hindu scripture), the earth is flat. We are on an island called JAMBŪDVĪPA and there are more islands which are undiscovered due to our collective sinful karma. Jambudvipa itself hasn't been fully discovered yet, and we only know about a discovered part of what is called Bhārata-varṣa (which is within it). As per ISKCON founder Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, our discovery of greater regions is as that of a bull tied to a stake, which keeps going round and round, and so we mistakenly imagine the earth as a round globe. This is primarily due to consequences of greed in us, that we feel that we are floating in space with noone else in a Godless universe. However, that isn't so. Our greed pushed us to make a magnetic compass(for example) and follow it's needle which supposedly changes with earth's magnetic field. However, the bhu-mandala ie earth plane, does not have any magnetic waves at all! Those are emitted by Rahu planet(greed/attachment/magnetism(since it attracts)) which is a shadow planet(and is the north node of the moon). The opposite of Rahu is Ketu planet(detachment/south node of the moon) forming the positive and negative axis of magnetism. So, the compass needle is actually pointing to this Rahu ketu axis of magnetism! And not the earth plane. For this reason, we keep going round and round like a bull tied to a stake, and are unable to discover the greater regions and are limited like a toad in a well, who cannot fathom the grandeur of the ocean! Come and lets journey together to know exactly how large the flat earth plane really is, and all the fantastic beings that live on it!
