'These are stories of passion and dedication, of risk and resilience, of excellence and Australian larrikinism, of inventiveness and determination.' Captain Richard Champion de Crespigny on The Flying Kangaroo 'Jim Eames captures the experiences of a small band of brave, professional and pioneering aircrew who confronted the dangers of war.' Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston AK, AFC (Ret'd) on Courage in the Skies First published as the best-selling Courage in the Skies and The Flying Kangaroo From the challenges of its earliest days to the significant but little known involvement in Australia's World War II campaigns and its surge into the jet age and beyond, these are the stories of the men and women, the risk takers and the characters who shaped Qantas. Generous and richly told, Red Tail Skies is a warm-hearted reminder of why Qantas remains so important in the Australian psyche.

Download or read book The Montes' Tale written by Dario Lucas and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of Monte, a tiny squirrel monkey, and his friend Jack are captured by men involved in the illegal selling of endangered species on the black market. The pair escape their captors at the destination on Catalina Island. Evading re-capture, they travel from Avalon to the backside of the island, stumbling into the center of a Ceremonial Indian Gathering. Jack is re-taken prisoner by Joaquin, an evil medicine man who is the Keeper of the Badlands. Receiving a Warriors' blessing from the chief of the tribe, Montes' mission is to rescue Jack. Through the process of gaining the knowledge necessary to achieve this, Monte meets many others; those in the waters around and on Catalina Island, the children who were lost at sea that now inhabit Fantasy World, and some individuals living in San Pedro, California. The story progresses through Montes' escapades, including his face-off with Joaquin in the waters between Catalina and the Mainland. As a young boy, born and raised in San Pedro, California, the Port of Los Angeles, I was fascinated by the landmass of Catalina Island. A mere 26 miles from home, yet it wasn't until I was 26 that I finally arrived. Today I still live near water, but far from my beloved ocean. The ocean and Santa Catalina Island has always drawn me. After my visit, and several additional trips, my curiosity was more than satisfied. It gives me great pleasure to present the one-on one journey into the Montes' Tale.

Book Synopsis Exploring Ancient Skies by : David H. Kelley
Download or read book Exploring Ancient Skies written by David H. Kelley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Ancient Skies brings together the methods of archaeology and the insights of modern astronomy to explore the science of astronomy as it was practiced in various cultures prior to the invention of the telescope. The book reviews an enormous and growing body of literature on the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the Far East, and the New World (particularly Mesoamerica), putting the ancient astronomical materials into their archaeological and cultural contexts. The authors begin with an overview of the field and proceed to essential aspects of naked-eye astronomy, followed by an examination of specific cultures. The book concludes by taking into account the purposes of ancient astronomy: astrology, navigation, calendar regulation, and (not least) the understanding of our place and role in the universe. Skies are recreated to display critical events as they would have appeared to ancient observers - events such as the supernova of 1054, the 'lion horoscope' or the 'Star of Bethlehem.' Exploring Ancient Skies provides a comprehensive overview of the relationships between astronomy and other areas of human investigation. It will be useful as a reference for scholars and students in both astronomy and archaeology, and will be of compelling interest to readers who seek a broad understanding of our collective intellectual history.

Book excerpt: Fallen Skies takes readers to post-World War I England in a suspenseful story about the marriage of a wealthy war hero and an aspiring singer he barely knows. Can a family's mannered traditions and cool emotions erase the horrors of war from a young couple's past? Lily Valance is determined to forget the horrors of the war by throwing herself into the decadent pleasures of the 1920s and pursuing her career as a music hall singer. When she meets Captain Stephen Winters, a decorated veteran, she's immediately drawn to his wealth and status. And Stephen, burdened by his guilt over surviving the Flanders battlefields where so many soldiers perished, sees the possibility of forgetting his anguish in Lily, but his family does not approve. Lily marries Stephen, only to discover that his family's façade of respectability conceals a terrifying combination of repression, jealousy and violence. When Stephen's terrors merge dangerously close with reality, the truth of what took place in the mud and darkness brings him and all who love him to a terrible reckoning.

Book excerpt: Beloved story writer Ron Carlson's first novel in thirty years, Five Skies is the story of three men gathered high in the Rocky Mountains for a construction project that is to last the summer. Having participated in a spectacular betrayal in Los Angeles, the giant, silent Arthur Key drifts into work as a carpenter in southern Idaho. Here he is hired, along with the shiftless and charming Ronnie Panelli, to build a stunt ramp beside a cavernous void. The two will be led by Darwin Gallegos, the foreman of the local ranch who is filled with a primeval rage at God, at man, at life. As they endeavor upon this simple, grand project, the three reveal themselves in cautiously resonant, profound ways. And in a voice of striking intimacy and grace, Carlson's novel reveals itself as a story of biblical, almost spiritual force. A bellwether return from one of our greatest craftsmen, Five Skies is sure to be one of the most praised and cherished novels of the year.
