They are invincible warriors of steel, silky-skinned enticers, stealers of jobs and lovable goofball sidekicks.

Skyfaring
Author: Mark Vanhoenacker
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0385351828
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
A poetic and nuanced exploration of the human experience of flight that reminds us of the full imaginative weight of our most ordinary journeys—and reawakens our capacity to be amazed. The twenty-first century has relegated airplane flight—a once remarkable feat of human ingenuity—to the realm of the mundane. Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flight, asks us to reimagine what we—both as pilots and as passengers—are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity that affords us unparalleled perspectives on the planet we inhabit and the communities we form.

Potential Stranger
Author: Killarney Clary
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226109312
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
On page after enigmatic page, Killarney Clary shows us her mastery of the prose poem in this spiritual biography that journeys across the natural landscape while plumbing the dizzying depths of the psyche. Potential Stranger reveals that in the public world we are all called upon to perform: as children, we are expected to find a place in the uniform; as entertainers, to play an exaggerated version of ourselves; and, as explorers, to rest content when we have reached our destination. Precise, prophetic, and spare, Clary reminds us that of all the potential strangers we may meet in our travels, people who forever "remain behind gestures and posture," the first and last of those is always the self.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
It was a normal commuting day for Martin Harkins—that is until the Martian spaceship crashed in front of him on I-95 in rush hour. Out of the stricken ship comes a Martian Princess and she is kidnapped by the Government, convinced she is some kind of terrorist spy. Martin meets members of the Martian rescue operation, including the Princess' future husband who is eager to avoid hostilities and the inevitable casualties. But the hard-nosed and deceitful Martian Fleet Commander, Tulla, has other ideas. With maniacal fervor, he first sets out to retrieve the Princess, but then becomes obsessed with punishing the humans for what they have done. And the FBI has plans of their own—they have no intention of giving up their beautiful and mysterious prisoner. What follows is a contest of wills as Martin gets swept up into the rescue operation, desperate to find the Princess before she is injured or killed. Because if she is killed, mankind is doomed.
