Following Christa's NASA journey through the news, Annie sees that Christa seems to be an ordinary person, like Annie herself, and yet Christa is reaching amazing heights-like flying on the space shuttle.

Book Synopsis Taking Off by : Emily Arnold McCully
Download or read book Taking Off written by Emily Arnold McCully and published by Holiday House. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witness the true story of how Mary Wilkins Ellis’ childhood passion for flying led to an exciting career in the air, written and illustrated by a Caldecott Medalist. As a child, Mary Wilkins Ellis longed to fly, but she had to wait until she was 16 before she could have her first lesson. She soon became the youngest licensed pilot in her English county, but then all civilian flight was banned when Germany launched its attacks on Britain in 1940. Mary was grounded. One day she chanced to hear a radio appeal for Britons with pilot’s licenses—even women—to join the Air Transport Auxiliary and ferry brand new fighter planes to Royal Air Force bases. Mary immediately applied, and spent the rest of the war delivering hundreds of different kinds of aircraft—most of which she’d never flown before—forming lifelong bonds with her colleagues, surviving many a close call, and helping to save her country from destruction. After the war she became a flight instructor, ran an air taxi service, then managed an airfield, the only woman in Europe to do so. In her spare time, she won rallies in her racing car. Mary’s childhood dream became a thrilling lifetime aloft, lasting until she died at 101. With watercolor and ink illustrations which perfectly capture the exhilaration of flying, Taking Off brings this little-known figure and her can-do spirit to life. Extensive material in the back of the book includes additional information about Mary Wilkins Ellis and the Airport Transport Auxiliary, as well as sources.
Download or read book Taking Off written by Eric Kraft and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day, middle-aged Manhattanite Peter Leroy receives an unsettling postcard from a childhood classmate. With his wife, Albertine, he returns to his hometown of Babbington, Long Island, and finds it both transformed and strangely the same. For Babbington has been "redefined" as a theme park, in a scheme to draw tourists to the struggling community, complete with trained actors, cultural interpreters, and carefully designed simulations of small-town 1950s life. On the wall of Legends restaurant, Peter sees his own commemoration: a picture of the triumphant day when, as a fifteen-year-old boy, he landed on Babbington's Main Street in the aerocycle he had built in his parents' garage, having flown four thousand miles to New Mexico and back. Hailed in newspapers as the "Birdboy of Babbington," the youthful inventor reveled in his fame---but never disclosed the truth behind his flight. Now Peter wants to set the record straight---and with Albertine as his muse and conscience, he begins. Taking Off is the first in a trilogy of novels about Peter Leroy's magical flight and its digressions along the way. Funny, warm, wise, and artful, this book---like all of its companion novels about Peter and his world---explores matters little and large with a light touch. Readers familiar with and new to these novels will delight in the wide-ranging invention and imagination of Peter's creator, Eric Kraft.

Book Synopsis Taking Off Domestic Building Construction by : Andrew Atkinson
Download or read book Taking Off Domestic Building Construction written by Andrew Atkinson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed step-by-step guide to taking off building work. It is pitched at a basic introductory level especially suitable for technicians entering the construction industry from school, perhaps intending to follow a trade or technical career. An ideal workbook for students of quantity surveying, construction and civil engineering when learning to measure building work. It introduces students to the most basic aspects of measurement and prepares them for learning the more complex areas of taking off. The book works through examples based on the measurement of a simple traditional pair of semi-detached (duplex) houses, with the relevant construction technology explained throughout. Although the format largely follows United Kingdom taking-off practice and conventions, it will be directly applicable to international practice in countries broadly following United Kingdom conventions. Each chapter presents a worked example from the substructure, through to masonry walls, upper floors, roofing, internal finishes, windows and doors. The examples are matched to an exercise for students and include a commentary of why and how the take-off work is being done. Concentrating specifically on the skilled task of taking off, the examples are designed to give confidence and practice rather than theoretical knowledge. This practical book is ideal for use on the Design, Surveying and Planning T Level; HNC Construction; and undergraduate and non-cognate postgraduate courses in Quantity Surveying, Construction and Building Surveying.

Book excerpt: Taking Off the Mask By: Antoinette Jackson Get ready to experience a journey to living an authentic life and a life of freedom from behind the mask with Antoinette Jackson. Antoinette realized she was wearing a mask in her twenties. From childhood to adulthood, through pain, rape, abuse, and disappointments, layer by layer she became comfortable in being disguised by her masks. She wasn’t willing to let go until there was a spiritual awakening through hearing and applying the word of God. Antoinette was able to peel back layer by layer through a few God-given friendships, receive healing, deliverance, and, through prayer and praise, the love of God came to her rescue.

Book Synopsis Taking Off My God Hat by : Margaret Jane Kucera
Download or read book Taking Off My God Hat written by Margaret Jane Kucera and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of scripture verses that have been helpful to me as I struggled with my out of control eating. I foresee these verses as speaking to everyone regardless of their struggles in life. It just happened that my attention was drawn to them for my food issue. Twenty-five years ago I began to see how reading scripture brought me comfort and consolation as I looked for help in this area. One morning in prayer a couple years ago the thought came to me to record all the verses that were meaningful to me with the idea that they might be a source of inspiration for others. My prayer is that you will also experience God’s love and embrace it as you go through this book. I have added a section at the end of each page for you to journal since writing was freeing for me. I ask God’s healing light to be within you as you continue your journey.

Download or read book Taking Off Roofs and Building Bridges written by Alan J. Pihringer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why don’t they believe the same things I do? Why don’t they see things my way? We get frustrated when people hold differing opinions from ours or view life’s major issues from conflicting angles. Their system of belief (their worldview) seems foreign to us as they filter the events of this world in ways that we would never have imagined and then come to conclusions that we would never even consider. When other peoples’ worldviews contradict ours, both of us cannot be right. Is there a way to account for the differences and determine if one is right and the other wrong? For the Christian especially, can we defend the Christian worldview in a way that upholds our entire system of belief and then opens the door to share the gospel with those who believe differently from us? The method of worldview apologetics enables the Christian to expose the faults in other worldviews, demonstrate the truth of the Christian worldview, and build a bridge for others to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Both scholarly and practical, worldview apologetics equips the Christian to assess and critique differing belief systems and fulfill the call to Great Commission outreach.
Book Synopsis Let's Get Together On Earth Before Taking Off On The Road To Heaven by : Al Hall
Download or read book Let's Get Together On Earth Before Taking Off On The Road To Heaven written by Al Hall and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-01-23 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people on Earth look forward to their eventual time in Heaven. They speak of Heaven as a lofty, perfect place where they will be surrounded by love and humanity turned divine. However, these same people seem to shrink from human contact while on Earth. They miss the opportunity to connect with their brethren, looking to the sky as they walk the ground. Poet Al Hall looks forward to Heaven, but through his inspired words he hopes to reveal the interconnectedness of human life on this planet and how best to utilize our limited time here. He encourages us to cherish togetherness during this short period of time on Earth before taking off on the road to Heaven. It's time to slow down and take a look around, preparing for Heaven but not living there already. True, nothing on Earth is perfect. Politicians make vocal blunders. Humans get irritated and angry at each other over nothing more than miscommunication or perhaps a wrong note in church choir. It's time we stopped pulling each other down and lifted each other heavenward instead. Enjoy worship, laughter, celebration, and falling in love. Heaven will one day be home, but for now, Hall encourages us to live imperfectly but with joy and forgiveness.

Then, on a family vacation, Maryellen finds out that Joan's not so sure about her own plans. One thing's clear: If Maryellen's going to invent a flying machine, become famous, and get Joan's wedding off the ground, she'll need all the help - and all the friends - she can get! In Taking Off, the second volume of Maryellen's classic stories about growing up in the 1950s, Maryellen's hopes, dreams, and ambitions soar - and she's determined that nothing will stop her from flying high.
