Book excerpt: No man has ever wanted her for herself When she arrives at Beresford Abbey, orphan Mary Wilder's hopes of finding a place to belong are dashed when she meets Bane Beresford, the enigmatic earl.

Occasionally she sees a different, more caring man behind the facade, so is she foolish to long for a happy home…and a family? His proposal is for a marriage of convenience, but his touch has awakened within her a fervent and forbidden longing….

Book excerpt: THE HALT PERSPECTIVE 2 This volume printed with wherever possible color images and photographs celebrates the commitment taken by retired USAF Colonel Charles Irwin Halt, now in his 80th year - often in the face of adversity and media ignorance - to create awareness of the existence of a phenomenon that continues to haunt the skies of the world, on what is now the 40th Anniversary of the UFO incident that took place in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England at the end of December 1980. Colonel Charles Irwin Halt will comment on many inexplicable UFO sightings brought to his attention by John Hanson, during 25 years of research from the mid to late 20th Century, both in the US and UK. He agrees that the events which took place in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, just outside the American Air Base - nowover 40 years ago - which have excited the imagination of the public, should not be judged in its singularity. Surely common sense dictates that any judgement as to what happened in December 1980 cannot be reached without taking into consideration the enormous number of sightings of UFO activity, including many which took place in the East Anglia region. Never mind elsewhere! These include important interviews with pilots and senior RAF officers. Followed by respects paid to the work and life of the late Washington-based UFO researcher, Richard 'Dick' 'H' Hall who was a friend of Colonel Halt. Our journey begins... "It is simply that, in the long run, the sheer weight of observational evidence finally broke down the barriers of disbelief."(Source: 'Other Worlds Than Ours' C. Maxwell Cade)

Download or read book Conquerors of the Sky written by Thomas Fleming and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-06-14 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel that crowns Thomas Fleming's forty-year career, Conquerors of the Sky takes readers on a gripping insider's journey into the lives and loves, the hopes and heartbreaks of the men and women who make America's planes. When Adrian Van Ness, the enigmatic chairman of Buchanan Aircraft, dies of a heart attack, a struggle for control of the aerospace giant erupts between burly Dick Stone, the tough-talking money man from New York, and Californian Cliff Morris, CEO and supersalesman. Sarah Morris, Cliff's estranged English-born wife, knows all the company's secrets. With her at the controls, Conquerors of the Sky becomes a time trip to the early years of the twentieth century, when flight was seen as spiritual ascent and idealistic Frank Buchanan began designing planes. New York aristocrat Adrian Van Ness is equally fascinated by these new machines--as a financial bonanza. In 1930, Adrian's amoral business genius and Frank's visions of ever swifter sleeker planes form a precarious alliance. Soon Buchanan Aircraft is competing with Lockheed and Boeing and Northrop for contracts to build airliners and bombers and fighters. As corrupt connections between generals and congressmen and presidents multiply, Frank sees some of his greatest planes scuttled by dirty political deals. He watches Adrian grow rich and powerful preaching the gospel of air power in the century's wars. When Dick Stone joins Buchanan he sees Adrian as his American father. But he soon shifts his spiritual allegiance to Frank Buchanan. Cliff Morris's flamboyant style conceals a ruinous moral collapse in the deadly skies over World War II Germany. His fear of discovery is worsened by the sardonic shadow of his stepbrother, Billy McCall, the supreme pilot Cliff will never become. Sarah loves all three men and ultimately has to choose between them, knowing that in the macho world of Buchanan Aircraft, women are objects to be enjoyed -- or used to sell the latest bomber or airliner. For women like Amanda Van Ness, Adrian's wife (and Frank Buchanan's lover), this leads to madness. For Sarah it leads to power -- at a terrible price. Spanning the history of flight from the clumsy fabric planes of 1911 to the whizzing stealth fighters of today, Conquerors of the Sky is a page-turning drama of the struggle to mesh aerodynamic visions with the harsh realities of cashflow and profits -- and with the desires and dreams of the men and women who inhabit this unique world. Told by a master of the historical imagination, it is a must-read book that will launch America into the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of flight. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: Haunted Skies Wiltshire is another in a series of unique books on the UFO subject, co-written by retired Police Officer John Hanson and his partner - Dawn Holloway. The couple have made many personal visits, over a period of 20 years, to interview members of the public living in the Wiltshire area, in order to preserve the history of reported UFO activity. This volume contains approximately 1,000 images in over 700 pages - in colour and black and white. They include photographs, sketches, private letters and illustrations, many of which have not been previously published. Whether it's 'sky watching' from the now famous Cradle Hill, outside the lovely town of Warminster - host to some incredible UFO sightings back in the halcyon days of the 1960s/1970s, recorded by local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood - or perhaps a visit to the famous Barge Inn at Honey Street, Alton Barnes, overlooking the famous 'White Horse', or the magic of nearby ancient sites, such as Silbury Hill, Avebury Stone Circle, Adam's Grave, West Kennet Long Barrow, or Stonehenge, the authors have been there and enjoyed every fascinating moment. Whatever the reason, no one can deny the breathtaking beauty of what this wonderful magical county has to offer in exceptional landscapes, and the possibility that strange objects may be captured on film or photograph. The locality is thick with not only legends and myths but reports of UFO sightings - along with their occasional occupants - and a huge number of mysterious crop circles which abound each year, attracting tourists from all over the world, eager to see for themselves the intricate, dazzling, formations which have been the subject of so much media interest over the years.We hope you enjoy this book, as we have putting it together.John and Dawn www.hauntedskies.co.uk

Download or read book Defining the Fringe of Contemporary Australian Archaeology written by Rocco Bosco and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular culture has often presented a mythologised version of archaeology that at times misinforms the general public about broader academic intentions. The fantastic and bizarre continue to capture the public imagination, so that while archaeological teams excavate, survey and record, they occupy the same geographic locations as ghost tour operators and seekers of the supernatural. Not only does archaeology operate within the same geography as modern mythology, but widespread access to technology, from satellite imagery to GPS data, means that enthusiastic amateurs can partake in their own investigations. With limited landscape identification training, an enthusiasm for discovery and strange cultural biases, fringe operators have utilised new technologies to justify old fallacies through variant forms of amateur archaeology. This collection draws on the wealth of work currently being undertaken by contemporary archaeologists in Australia, from rock art observations to art/archaeology experiments and even space archaeology. It explores archaeology on the edge, contextualising the fringe dwellers that operate on the periphery of accepted academia. It also looks at contemporary archaeological theory and practice in relation to these fringe operators, developing approaches toward interaction, in contrast to the more common reaction of repudiation. The relationship between the accepted centre and the outer edge in contemporary archaeological practice and theory unveils much about popular misconceptions and how archaeological spaces can be overlaid with variant mythological and cultural interpretations.
