Book excerpt: Flying is terrifying to many people, and piloting an airplane is a domain seemingly dominated by men. When flying slowly but surely came to scare her to death, Kim Jochl set out to overcome her fear by earning a pilot's license. She figured the more she knew, the less she'd be scared. In theory that was true; in practice it wasn't so simple. She knew it would be an incredible challenge, and one that might end in failure. But the encouraging, helpful, accepting, and genuine culture of aviation helped Kim achieve her goal and discover the joy of flying. The Aviatrix is a candid, sometimes funny, definitely scary, firsthand look into one woman's journey to becoming a pilot in the challenging mountain terrain of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.

Download or read book Aviation in the Literature and Culture of Interwar Britain written by Michael McCluskey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation in the Literature and Culture of Interwar Britain looks at the impact of aviation in Britain and beyond through the 1920s and 1930s. This book considers how in this period flying went from a weapon of war to an extensive industry that included civilian air travel, air mail delivery, flying shows and campaigns to create ‘airmindedness’. Essays look at these developments through the work of writers, filmmakers and flyers and examines the airminded modernism that marked this radical period. Its fourteen chapters include studies of texts by Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, Elizabeth Bowen, W.H. Auden, T.H. White and John Masefield; accounts of the annual RAF Display at Hendon and the Schneider Trophy; and the achievements of celebrity flyers such as Amy Johnson. This collection provides a fresh perspective on the interwar period by bringing analysis of aviation and airmindedness to the study of British literature, history, modernism, mobilities and the history of technology and transportation.

Download or read book The Earthworm That Blows No Trumpet written by David Bruce Collins and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santa Cecilia is a medium-sized university town in the Texas Hill Country. The townies and gownies get along well enough, and most folks accept their neighbors of all colors, creeds, and orientations. The Unitarian Universalist church downtown is just another house of worship, albeit a bit more liberal than average for a Texas town. The UUs enjoy their jobs (mostly), help their less fortunate neighbors, and raise healthy, intelligent children. Its all just too good to last. After a popular, outspoken intern minister arrives, important objects start disappearing, then reappearing. Accounts get hacked, windows get broken, and a well-known church member is found strangled. And then it gets really weird. A large ensemble cast of members and friends put heads and hearts together to figure out who is sabotaging their beloved churchand why. Many of them dont consider themselves religious, but they will defend this church to the death if necessary. In their struggle, they find unlikely allies, bizarre misdirections, great vegan Tex-Mex, killer margaritas, excellent weed, the joys and perils of polyamory, and Transylvanian hospitality that cant be beat.

Download or read book A Woman First First Woman written by Selina Meyer and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious parody memoir for the beloved Veep character portrayed for seven seasons by Emmy-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Born and raised deep in the American heartland of God-fearing suburban Maryland, young Selina Eaton learned to love her country and her fellow man from her parents, Catherine, a sportswoman, dog lover, and philanthropist, and Gordon, or “Daddy” as she always called him, a businessman and entrepreneur. From an early age, Selina, an active, curious, happy-go-lucky child, showed an uncanny ability to relate to others and to solve their real-world problems with real-world solutions. In this she was inspired by her idol: feminist, humanitarian, stateswoman, and first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt maintained a lively relationship with many prominent figures of her time, including Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy, Albert Schweitzer, and probably Pablo Casals. She inspired countless women to break out of the established roles for women in society, among them the pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart, with whom she flew several times. Dubbed the “Queen of the Air,” Amelia Earhart captivated the nation both with her bravery, skill, and daring when flying her planes and when challenging society’s hidebound attitudes as to what constituted a proper place for women. America mourned when she disappeared mysteriously somewhere in the Pacific during an attempted around-the-world flight in 1937. Speculation continues to this day as to Amelia’s ultimate fate, even as hope has faded that she may yet be found alive. With wit, wisdom, eloquence, and fearless honesty, Selina Meyer reveals for the first time what really goes on in the halls of power, including the ultimate hall, the White House. It’s all here: the triumphs, the tragedies, the personalities, and the momentous events that have shaped our times, brought together in a page-turning tale told as only Selina Meyer could tell it. Selina Meyer’s compassion, her sense of humor, her grace, and her uncommon willingness to bare her heart make this story revelatory, beautifully rendered, and unlike any other president’s memoir ever written. First Woman: A Woman First would be a fitting title for a book about Selina Meyer, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Amelia Earhart, but in this case, it is about Selina Meyer.

Download or read book Marisa Mori and the Futurists written by Jennifer Griffiths and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a compelling new personality to the modernist canon, Marisa Mori (1900-1985), who became the only female contributor to The Futurist Cookbook (1932) with her recipe for “Italian Breasts in the Sun.” Providing something more complex than a traditional biographical account, Griffiths presents a feminist critique of Mori's art, converging on issues of gender, culture, and history to offer new critical perspectives on Italian modernism. If subsequently written out of modernist memory, Mori was once at the center of the Futurism movement in Italy; yet she worked outside the major European capitals and fluctuated between traditional figurative subjects and abstract experimentation. As a result, her in-between pictures can help to re-think the margins of modernism. By situating Mori's most significant artworks in the critical context of interwar Fascism, and highlighting her artistic contributions before, during, and after her Futurist decade, Griffiths contributes to a growing body of knowledge on the women who participated in the Italian Futurist movement. In doing so, she explores a woman artist's struggle for modernity among the Italian Futurists in an age of Fascism.

Download or read book Tools and Tactics for the English Teacher written by Ray Gosa and published by Raymond Gosa . This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This teaching tool is a complete textbook, designed to accomplish several purposes. Being a practical help and a real-world teacher’s aid is by far the grandest. Teachers are often left in academic circumstances that challenge them to be individually creative. Whereas the typical teacher does indeed possess great creative powers as well as the zealous enthusiasm to meet any and virtually every challenge, time restrictions often prove a foe most unconquerable. Speaking as a teacher of more than two and a half decades (as of this writing), I’ve become fully aware of what’s needed in my personal classroom to get the most production out of my students and to give them the greatest opportunity to learn. In times past, I often found myself wishing for tools that made that job easier for me and for them. That is what this text is designed to accomplish – its goal is to provide teachers with tools and tactics that make teaching and learning easier.

Book excerpt: A pioneering aviator and advocate of women's equality, Amelia Earhart was, and continues to be, an inspiration to people the world over. Her fierce determination to break records and push the boundaries of aviation led her to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932, as well as the first person (man or woman) to fly solo the trans-Pacific flight from Hawaii to California in 1935. Not content to leave it at that, Amelia set her sights on becoming the first woman to circumnavigate the world, but her brave attempt was cut short when she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, vanished over the Pacific Ocean on the final stretch of the challenge in 1937. Eighty years on and our fascination with Amelia Earhart continues. Here, Mike Roussel charts her life and experiences, exploring the investigations and theories surrounding her mysterious disappearance and revealing the naturally courageous spirit that made her one of the most daring of twentieth-century women.

Download or read book Slingshot written by Robert G. Williscroft and published by Starman Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised Second Edition NABE Pinnacle Book Achievement Award Winner! Slingshot is a love story - about a man, a woman, another man, another woman, some gender-bending...and a machine, the largest ever built. Slingshot is a mystery - about a missing aviatrix, a conspiracy, a true-believer. Slingshot is an adventure - about following a dream, the ocean-deep, outer space. Slingshot is about constructing the first space launch-loop stretching 2,600 km between Baker and Jarvis Islands in the Equatorial Pacific. It's about high finance, intrigue, unlimited ambition, heroism, fanaticism, betrayal...and about opening space to the common person. The setting is the day-after-tomorrow. Technology has advanced, the web is more pervasive than ever, but human ambition and greed remain unchanged. In Slingshot, Alex Regent, Margo Jackson, and Klaus Blumenfeld reach for the stars as they blend their skills to create the world's first space launch-loop, backed by major software money. Environmental fanatic Lars Watson with his team of young eco-terrorists are funded by opposing financial interests, who will go to any length to halt the project. Reporter Lori Kutcher indiscriminately applies her own personal skills to ensure it is she who reports the unfolding events to a watching world. With a cast of 69, Slingshot takes you from Seattle's world financial district, to the ocean bottom at 5,000 feet off Baker Island, to the edge of space 80 km above. You play with dolphins and battle sharks. You fly and sail and dive, you work and play and love across the vast panorama of an Equatorial Pacific being put to leash to serve humanity's surge into outer space. While its accurate science and precise engineering will appeal to hard science-fiction buffs, Slingshot’s major focus is the grand journey, the opening of outer space to the common person by men and women who loom larger than life as they work, play, and love.
