Book excerpt: Minutes count. Dodging desperate women eager to bag him as a husband is not Jay Dugan's idea of a good time. He'd much rather find out how things tick. When the god of time offers him a job maintaining that clock for the universe, Jay jumps at the offer. There are only two rules: Maintain the clock and beware of ghosts from the past. Anysia Willot wants nothing more than to join her dead fiance on the Other Side. Nysia's one chance is to trick Jay into stopping the clock; and she'll use any means necessary, including seduction. As the clock counts down to New Year's Day, Nysia finds herself being seduced by both the technology of this new world and Jay. Can she stay with Jay? Or will time stop because the past isn't finished with her?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of exploration through eleven objects from the Air and Space Museum: “Takes you behind the scenes with firsthand stories and rare photos.” —William F. Readdy, former NASA astronaut and Space Shuttle commander Throughout human history, across cultures and landscapes, countless individuals have gazed with wonder in the same direction: upward. Getting to space was no easy task, and our quest to further explore the universe, to understand the impossibly vast heavens, continues. In Milestones of Space, Michael Neufeld and select curators of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum present a gorgeous photographic celebration of some of the most groundbreaking artifacts that played key parts in giving humanity its first steps into the cosmos. Focusing on the most iconic objects and technology—such as Friendship 7, the Lunar Module 2, Neil Armstrong’s Lunar Suit, the Hubble Space Telescope, and Space Shuttle Discovery—this book extensively profiles eleven of the NASM’s most important breakthroughs in space technology. The NASM curators feature each object in incredible detail with compelling timelines, sidebars and captions, and over 150 archival images that provide new and little-known insights into their development and historical context. We are still a long way from grasping our universe—but for now, Milestones of Space magnificently commemorates the individuals and inventions that have taken us this far.

Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

It would be nearly three years before anyone else in the world was able to duplicate the achievement. Even so, few knew of the brothers' flights, partly due to their extreme secretiveness; they feared unscrupulous competitors would steal their ideas. As a result, little publicity attended the Wright brothers and their airplane. But word got out. Taking off from the Ft. Myer parade field, the "Flyer" headed south to where the Masonic Temple now stands in Alexandria, turned around and climbed to a record 400 feet, and then went into a gradual descent to pick up speed for the sprint back to Ft. Myer. They crossed the finish line at a blistering 42 mph. President Taft was on hand to congratulate the brothers for their astonishing achievement. The Army had just bought themselves an airplane. Over the next century the airplane would revolutionize war, but even at the beginning there were those who foresaw that things had changed dramatically and irreversibly. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, said simply that the airplane made armies "an impertinence" and battleships "so much junk." Time would test his judgments.
