Download or read book The Iron Parachute written by Cor Blok and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iron Parachute is not the story of X or Y. It can hardly be called a story at all. It begins with an arrival and it ends with a departure, but in between it behaves like the dragonfly's larva which hides in a little tube made of tiny bits and pieces of matter collected on its way through the water of a brook: moving through a variety of environments in the course of time it draws to itself odds and ends that happen to attract its attention. These may come uninvited, from inside and outside the human body, outer space and the scientist's lab, the wilderness and the metropolitan jungle, dream worlds and ancient history, comics and learned discourses on art - gatecrashers on the brain, like they do in the maelstrom of everyday life. Somewhere in the middle of this visual and verbal pandemonium lives a vague entity, a consciousness that intermittently materializes in human form, sometimes as an actor but mostly as a witness. No wonder that it took 47 years to complete the book.
Download or read book Sent by the Iron Sky written by Ian Gardner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from the success of Ian Gardner's critically acclaimed trilogy on the exploits of the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division in World War II, Sent by the Iron Sky tells their exhilarating story for a new readership. From the moment they entered the war in June, 1944, the men of 3rd Battalion were faced with brutal fighting against horrendous odds. Later in the year, nearly five months in combat with no relief lead to heavy losses that reduced them to the size of a company. Their heroic defence of Bastogne saw their division awarded a Unit Citation, a first in the history of the US armed forces, and they subsequently fought on across Europe, finishing the war occupying Hitler's mountain retreat of Berchtesgaden. Drawing on years of research and interviews with veterans of some of the toughest battles of World War II, together with maps and over 200 vintage images, Ian Gardner brings to life some of the most bitter fighting of the war in Europe, laying bare the horrors of war, the deprivations of day-to-day living and the chaos of the front line. Additional material includes a chapter on the fate of the men captured in Normandy and a foreword by Lee Wolverton, the grandson of the commander of 3rd Battalion, Col Robert Wolverton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death-defying pioneer parachute artist Miss Hazel Keyes earned renown across America, leaping from her balloon in the 1890s. Drawing spectators to her parachuting performances by the thousands for more than a decade jumping with her monkey, Miss Jennie Yan Yan, Hazel endured relentless hardship and injury to earn her living and claim her slice of fame. Suffering assault by friends, family, strangers, and the earth, she survived her perilous occupation for more than a decade. Following her career, the skydiving queen again garnered fame. She blazed a new trail as she battled her husbands, sons, government officials, and "bad actors" to maintain her wealth, sanity, and property. The rock-tough woman persevered despite gunshot wounds, emotional anguish, and betrayal. Her tale of fortitude stands remarkable in the annals of American history. WORDS OF PRAISE A leader in his local history community, award-winning author, historian, and humanitarian, William Kalt III continues to contribute to Western literature and give history a future. Dedicated to sharing factual accounts, his unique stories of long ago earned him a Historic Preservation Award, and his exciting writing style brings the tales to life. I highly recommend anything he writes. Dr. Kenneth V. Karrels, Chairman, Southern Arizona Transportation Museum

With his revelation and his plan, Tony expects fame and adulation but he is only going to get more trouble . . After suffering a tragic, public failure, Tony knows he must improve Iron Man if he ever hopes to defeat a devastating new threat. One solution is a potentially lethal techno-organic virus known as Extremis. It will grant Tony more power than he has ever known—and test his spirit to the breaking point . . . Adapted from the graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov. Praise for Iron Man: Extremis “Javins is a masterful writer when it comes to convincing the reader of the sensory details of travel, of locations and their character, and even more adept at portraying characters in a psychologically realistic way. . . . The dialogue is as sharp, appealing, and funny as the films are known for, and are windows into character personality as well.” —The Beat
