Firsts in Flight
Author: Terrance W. MacDonald
Publisher: Formac Publishing Company
ISBN: 145950478X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Alexander Graham Bell and his team of innovative young engineers created groundbreaking new technologies during three years of furious activity in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, in the early 1900s. The knowledge and skills of this group allowed them to innovate flight technologies which have continued to be fundamental to aircraft design. In this book, aviation author Terrance MacDonald puts together, for the first time, the full story of their achievements. Bell's unique group of engineers, a mechanical specialist and a military officer, built over twenty airplanes, which incorporated many new sophisticated technological developments. Bell's well-known Silver Dart was only one of a long line of his team's experimental airplanes. This book describes the aircraft, the people, and the communities who participated with Bell in his mission to construct a reliable and secure flying machine. Over the years the group started to lose members, and when the Canadian government refused to purchase aircraft based on Bell's experiments the reconfigured group folded. Meanwhile, one group member left to found a major aircraft manufacturing operation in the US. Bell's team carefully documented all their work, and as a consequence there are hundreds of compelling photos from this era. The book includes 60+ of these images, and offers links to early movies documenting these aircraft and their flights.

Mercury's Flight
Author: Annie Wedekind
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
ISBN: 1250120381
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Our "American Girl" of horses, each novel in the Breyer Horse Collection—based on Breyer Animal Creations' top-selling horse breeds—tells a compelling story that captures the true essence and personality of each horse. And now, for the first time, we have a historical novel. Annie Wedekind takes us back to Europe in World War II—a time and place that tested the courage of the noble Lipizzaner horses. In 1930's Austria, life for Favory Mercurio, a Lipizzaner stallion bearing the crest of the renowned Piber stud, begins with his mother's abandonment. From that moment on, the young horse feels different, as if he has a missing piece— even though, despite his doubters, he has talent enough to be accepted into the famed Spanish Riding School. Slowly, but doggedly, Mercury perseveres through the rigors of his years of training. But then, as the war bears down on Vienna and the school is forced to flee two advancing armies, his beloved trainer and rider, Max, with whom he has formed a true bond, is suddenly gone, and Mercury is abandoned once more. Will he have the chance to become one of the great Lipizzaner stallions, or will he lose the people, horses, and home that he loves?

Australian Poetry
Author: Magda Palmer
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Australian poetry, prose and stories stand alone because their beginning can be traced back to Colonization in 1788. This facet of the arts began as entertainment around campfires at a time when hardships and adventures were romanticised. They characteristically followed themes of heroic achievement and individual experiences. Back then, the ethnic groups were English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh. Today, Australian literature keeps its original theme with added egalitarianism, blending the original transportation cultures with those of the Indigenous peoples, those born in Australia, the British Isles, Egypt, Greece, Lebanon, Poland, Russia, Turkey and other nationalities. Thus, literature and its sister, the art scene, is a powerful mirror reflecting Australia’s unique social and political contexts. I invite you to enjoy my contributions! Magda
