Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “She was part of the ‘stunt girl’ movement that was very important in the 1880s and 1890s as these big, mass-circulation yellow journalism papers came into the fore.” –Brooke Kroeger Around the World in Seventy-Two Days (1890) is a travel narrative by American investigative journalist Nellie Bly. Proposed as a recreation of the journey undertaken by Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days (1873), Bly’s journey was covered in Joseph Pulitzer’s popular newspaper the New York World, inspiring countless others to attempt to surpass her record. At the time, readers at home were encouraged to estimate the hour and day of Bly’s arrival, and a popular board game was released in commemoration of her undertaking. Embarking from Hoboken, noted investigative journalist Nellie Bly began a voyage that would take her around the globe. Bringing only a change of clothes, money, and a small travel bag, Bly travelled by steamship and train through England, France—where she met Jules Verne—Italy, the Suez Canal, Ceylon, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. Sending progress reports via telegraph, she made small reports back home while recording her experiences for publication upon her return. Despite several setbacks due to travel delays in Asia, Bly managed to beat her estimated arrival time by several days despite making unplanned detours, such as visiting a Chinese leper colony, along the way. Unbeknownst to Bly, her trip had inspired Cosmopolitan’s Elizabeth Brisland to make a similar circumnavigation beginning on the exact day, launching a series of copycat adventures by ambitious voyagers over the next few decades. Despite being surrounded by this air of popularity and competition, however, Bly took care to make her journey worthwhile, showcasing her skill as a reporter and true pioneer of investigative journalism. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Nellie Bly’s Around the World in Seventy-Two Days is a classic work of American travel literature reimagined for modern readers.

Book excerpt: Miss Elizabeth Bisland, who made a journey around the world in seventy-six days, has written a vivid and agreeable account of it. At breakfast-time on the day when she started, Miss Bisland had no idea that she was to make such a journey. She went without escort, and "managed the trip on two cloth gowns, half a dozen light bodices, and an evening silk." Everywhere she received the kindest treatment, her only unhappy experience seeming to have been at Queenstown, where she caught the steamer under somewhat trying circumstances. She writes picturesquely and compactly, and her story is well worth reading. A picture of the flying traveler accompanies the volume. It will commend itself to anybody.-N. Y. Sun The authoress, who is a well-known New York journalist, started off with scarce a days notice, in emulation of Jules Verne's hero, to see in how few days she can put a belt round the world. Seventy-six days it takes her, and the record of her travel makes very agreeable reading, although lacking in the sensational incidents evolved from M. Jules Verne's brain.-The Review of Reviews

Book excerpt: In Seven Stages: A Flying Trap Around the World (1891) is a travel narrative by American journalist Elizabeth Bisland. When Bly's journey--inspired by the travels of Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days (1873)--was announced in Joseph Pulitzer's popular newspaper the New York World, Cosmopolitan sent a young reporter of its own to race Bly across the globe. At the time, readers at home were encouraged to estimate the hour and day of Bisland's arrival, generating national interest and launching a series of copycat adventures by ambitious voyagers over the next few decades. "My appetite for mystery at that hour of the day is always lamentably feeble, and it was nearly eleven before I found time to go and investigate this one, although the office in question was only a few minutes' walk from my residence. On arriving, the editor and owner of the magazine asked if I would leave New York that evening for San Francisco and continue from there around the world, endeavoring to complete the journey in some absurdly inadequate space of time." Summoned from her life of work and leisure to undertake a several month journey around the world, Elizabeth Bisland rose to the occasion with courage and wit. Although Nellie Bly made it home five days before her--perhaps due to some subterfuge on the part of her publisher--Bisland took defeat in stride, writing an account filled with wonderful descriptions of her voyage. Ironic and self-effacing, Bisland's account, although less popular than Bly's, remains an essential work from the early days of tabloid entertainment and investigative journalism, a time when publishers were willing enough--or wild enough--to send correspondents on a globetrotting voyage in search of fame. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elizabeth Bisland's In Seven Stages: A Flying Trap Around the World is a classic work of American travel literature reimagined for modern readers.

Book excerpt: The key to the successful completion of any flight, whether a short-distance domestic flight or an ultra long-haul flight, is meticulous planning, timely preparation, precise execution, and the crew's ability to anticipate and cope with sudden changes. Every trip is unique. Some are more challenging than others and you can always count on last minute changes and surprises. For the most part, however, trips tend to be uneventful but never routine. Upon a successfully completed trip we derive a great sense of satisfaction knowing that we completed it safely, effectively, and efficiently (in that order of importance).What follows is a four-sector westbound trip around the world in a Gulfstream G650ER. This particular trip underscored the immense value of a business jet in optimizing high level executives' productivity. Although this trip is seen primarily from a pilot's perspective there were many other highly capable and dedicated professionals whose contributions made it possible. These individuals, who take great pride in what they do and how they do it, are part of the support system that make airplanes like the Gulfstream G650 a powerful business tool. This book was written, in great part, as a tribute to them.
