Book excerpt: If you think you are a pilot, you have to read this. This guy was a legend in his time and accumulated over 40,000 hours of accident-free flying time, owned almost 500 aircraft and experienced 7 total engine failures in flight without putting a mark on an aircraft—although he admits to putting some holes in his floats. He has over 33,000 hours on floats, 6,000 hours on skis and a little over 1,000 hours on wheels and airports. He tells you how to fly two aircraft at one time and a good way to make a friend is to kill him and bring him back to life. He has thousands of hours flying external loads—if it doesn’t fit inside, tie it on outside—canoes, boats, lumber, plywood, furinture, Christmas trees and human bodies. He is even known as the body double for Catherine Zeta Jones! He has chased bank robbers off the road into the highway patrol and taken off and landed on 600 ft. runways, 800 ft. runways with a 45 degree bend, landed on paved highways, gravel roads, sand beaches and glaciers. And has made quite a few cross-country flight across the US in no-radio airplanes.

Book excerpt: On August 17 1911-seven years before Max Ernst took up scissors and paste to create his early Dada art-WHAT A LIFE! was published in London by Methuen & Co. The authors, Edward Verrall Lucas (a travel writer) and George Morrow (an illustrator and regular contributor to PUNCH), produced their satirical autobiography using illustrations cut from the pages of Whiteley's General Catalogue.

Book What a Mushroom Lives For

    Book Details:
  • Author : Michael J. Hathaway
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2023-11-07
  • ISBN : 0691225907
  • Pages : 296 pages

Download or read book What a Mushroom Lives For written by Michael J. Hathaway and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the prized matsutake mushroom is remaking human communities in China—and providing new ways to understand human and more-than-human worlds What a Mushroom Lives For pushes today’s mushroom renaissance in compelling new directions. For centuries, Western science has promoted a human- and animal-centric framework of what counts as action, agency, movement, and behavior. But, as Michael Hathaway shows, the world-making capacities of mushrooms radically challenge this orthodoxy by revealing the lively dynamism of all forms of life. The book tells the fascinating story of one particularly prized species, the matsutake, and the astonishing ways it is silently yet powerfully shaping worlds, from the Tibetan plateau to the mushrooms’ final destination in Japan. Many Tibetan and Yi people have dedicated their lives to picking and selling this mushroom—a delicacy that drives a multibillion-dollar global trade network and that still grows only in the wild, despite scientists’ intensive efforts to cultivate it in urban labs. But this is far from a simple story of humans exploiting a passive, edible commodity. Rather, the book reveals the complex, symbiotic ways that mushrooms, plants, humans, and other animals interact. It explores how the world looks to the mushrooms, as well as to the people who have grown rich harvesting them. A surprise-filled journey into science and human culture, this exciting and provocative book shows how fungi shape our planet and our lives in strange, diverse, and often unimaginable ways.

Book excerpt: Each of us has but one life to live on this earth. What we do with it is our choice. Are we drifting through it as spectators, reacting to our circumstances when necessary and wondering just how we got to this point anyway? Or are we directing it, maximizing the joy and potential of every day, living with a purpose or mission in mind? Too many of us are doing the former--and our lives are slipping away one day at a time. But what if we treated life like the gift that it is? What if we lived each day as though it were part of a bigger picture, a plan? That's what New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt and executive coach Daniel Harkavy show us how to do: to design a life with the end in mind, determining in advance the outcomes we desire and path to get there. In this step-by-step guide, they share proven principles that help readers create a simple but effective life plan so that they can get from where they are now to where they really want to be--in every area of life.

Book excerpt: If you could fast forward your life to your deathbed and hear your regrets (and joys), then rewind and live your life with that knowledge, would you do it? This book provides that knowledge. After fourteen years in the funeral business, Chris Meyer has sat with families and listened to their “could’ves,” “should’ves,” and “would’ves.” In doing so he learned many lessons—lessons that kept repeating themselves year after year. Meyer knew he could help a lot of people with this information. So he sat down and memorialized the lessons he learned to share with the world: some simple, some profound, some irreverent. Lessons from life, from death, from surviving. But make no mistake, this is NOT a story about dying…this is a story of living. This is…Life in 20 Lessons. Poignant. Funny. Filled with love.
