The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America's Bird
Author: Jack E. Davis
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631495267
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Best Books of the Month: Wall Street Journal, Kirkus Reviews From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Gulf, a sweeping cultural and natural history of the bald eagle in America. The bald eagle is regal but fearless, a bird you’re not inclined to argue with. For centuries, Americans have celebrated it as “majestic” and “noble,” yet savaged the living bird behind their national symbol as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely, a snatcher of babies. Taking us from before the nation’s founding through inconceivable resurgences of this enduring all-American species, Jack E. Davis contrasts the age when native peoples lived beside it peacefully with that when others, whether through hunting bounties or DDT pesticides, twice pushed Haliaeetus leucocephalus to the brink of extinction. Filled with spectacular stories of Founding Fathers, rapacious hunters, heroic bird rescuers, and the lives of bald eagles themselves—monogamous creatures, considered among the animal world’s finest parents—The Bald Eagle is a much-awaited cultural and natural history that demonstrates how this bird’s wondrous journey may provide inspiration today, as we grapple with environmental peril on a larger scale.

Storming the Eagle's Nest
Author: Jim Ring
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571282407
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
From the Fall of France in June 1940 to Hitler's suicide in April 1945, the swastika flew from the peaks of the High Savoy in the western Alps to the passes above Ljubljana in the east. The Alps as much as Berlin were the heart of the Third Reich.'Yes,' Hitler declared of his headquarters in the Bavarian Alps, 'I have a close link to this mountain. Much was done there, came about and ended there; those were the best times of my life . . . My great plans were forged there.'With great authority and verve, Jim Ring tells the story of how the war was conceived and directed from the Fuhrer's mountain retreat, how all the Alps bar Switzerland fell to Fascism, and how Switzerland herself became the Nazi's banker and Europe's spy centre. How the Alps in France, Italy and Yugoslavia became cradles of resistance, how the range proved both a sanctuary and a death-trap for Europe's Jews - and how the whole war culminated in the Allies' descent on what was rumoured to be Hitler's Alpine Redoubt, a Bavarian mountain fortress.

Nest of Eagles
Author: Peter Schmoll
Publisher: Classic Publications
ISBN: 9781906537128
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book offers a unique and highly detailed insight into the workings of one of Nazi Germany's main wartime aircraft production centers–the famous Messerschmitt works at Regensburg as well as the neighboring airfield at Obertraubling. It is illustrated with many rare German photographs of aircraft construction, test flying, and the visits and meetings of key Nazi and Luftwaffe personnel at Regensburg, most of which have not been seen before. Despite being the target of heavy U.S. bombing raids between 1943 and 1945, the plant produced 170 Messerschmitt Bf 109Es, 779 Bf 110s, and 34 Me 210s prior to being attacked. Production reached its peak in October 1944, when it built 755 Bf 109 G/Ks out of an annual total of 6,318 such aircraft. A further 1,074 fighters were produced in 1945.

Bald Eagle Vision 2
Author: Jason ONeil
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665531398
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
In this novel, Rory Flynn, son of Matt Flynn, the co-inventor of the Red Box Antigravity Device which revolutionized global transportation, is the billionaire grandfather of Nolan Flynn. Grandpa takes his 17-year-old grandson on a week-long tour of the national capital region. Their Turbopod multi-vehicle (T-Pod) carries them to key sites around the Chesapeake Bay. The journey begins and ends at the family home, Beauvista, overlooking Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. The purpose of the tour is to educate the young man about the many “ISMs” like Americanism, Federalism, Racism, Socialism and Communism. In addition to the Capitol, the duo visits museums, galleries, monuments, golf courses and French restaurants. Grandpa wants his grandson to “smell the roses along the way.” The youth has a rude awakening during a visit to a Middle School where the ugliness of the white versus black racism is taught. The role of the Teacher’s Unions in brainwashing the students with racism in order to divide the country for the Socialist government is clear. In addition, Nolan gets a lifetime lesson about how the Chinese Communists have infiltrated American society in preparation for a complete take-over. In the end, Nolan realizes why the Flynn Family has been dedicated to the fight against Socialism and Communism for decades. The tour convinces the savvy youth to take up the torch for American Patriotism. He takes pride in his new vision, much like that of the Bald Eagle, to dedicate his life to the fight against the ugly “ISMs” attempting to end our Democracy and Free-Enterprise economy and turn our country into a Third-World state controlled by Beijing.
