The Airplane $13.29 In this entertaining history of the jetliner, Jay Spenser traces aviation’s challenges from the outset, and follows the flow of the simple yet powerful ideas that led us to defy gravity. Here are the pioneers innovators such as Otto Lilienthal, Igor Sikorsky, Louis BlÉriot, Hugo Junkers, and Jack Northrop whose amazing contributions collectively solved the puzzle of flight. Along the way, Spenser demystifies the modern jetliner, examining the airplane from wings to flight controls to fuselages to landing gear, to show how each part came into being and evolved over time. And finally The Airplane addresses the future of aviation, outlining the breathtaking possibilities that await us tomorrow, many miles above the earth. Who were aviation’s dreamers, and where did they get their inspiration? How did birds, insects, marine mammals, and fish help us to fly? How did the bicycle beget the airplane, and hot water heaters lead to metal fuselages? Who figured out how to fly without seeing the ground, enabling airline travel in all weather conditions? |

The Airplane: How Ideas Gave Us Wings $14.72 The inside story of how people invented and refined the airplane. Who were aviation’s dreamers and from where did they draw their inspiration? What lessons did inventors learn from birds, insects, marine mammals, and fish that helped us fly? How did the bicycle lead to the airplane, and hot water heaters to metal fuselages?And who figured out how to fly without seeing the ground, setting the stage for scheduled airline services in all weather conditions? In this entertaining history of the jetliner, Jay Spenser follows the flow of simple yet powerful ideas to trace aviation’s challenges. He introduces us to pioneers across continents and centuries, sheds new insights on their contributions, and evokes those key moments in history when, piece by piece, such innovators as Otto Lilienthal, Igor Sikorsky, Louis Bleriot, Hugo Junkers, and Jack Northrop collectively solved the puzzle of flight. Along the way, Spenser demystifies the modern jetliner. From wings to flight controls to fuselages to landing gear, he examines the parts of the airplane to show how they came into being and have evolved over time. "The Airplane" culminates in a discussion of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and explores the possibilities for aviation’s future. |

AirPlane $60.54 Eine LANParty (oder schlicht LAN) ist ein Zusammenschluss von privaten Computern, die durch ein lokales Netzwerk (Local Area Network, LAN) verbunden werden. Dabei messen sich die Teilnehmer in Computerspielen, bei denen Taktik, Strategie und Geschick gefordert werden. Die erste Art von LANParty ergab sich 1987 mit dem Computerspiel MIDIMaze fur Atari ST. Dieses wurde allerdings nicht uber ein typisches NetzwerkBussystem vernetzt gespielt wie Thin Ethernet oder Fast Ethernet, sondern uber die MIDISchnittstelle, mangels Alternativen. Zu dieser Zeit gab es allerdings nur vergleichsweise wenige Computerbesitzer und somit ausserst wenige dieser Treffen Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Alef-Bet $0.99 Hebrew is a very, very old language. It was spoken in ancient Israel many thousands of years ago and has been kept alive for centuries by Jews and scholars. Modern Hebrew was the dream and work of a man named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. He made new words from ancient words and gave Hebrew speakers a way to say modern words such as ice cream, bicycle, and airplane.This illustrated children’s book serves as an introduction to the modern Hebrew alphabet; but more than that, it is a joyous portrait of a very special family. Its heroine, Gabi, shares in the activities of five-year-olds everywhere. She dances, she pretends, she dresses up, she helps with the baby. Her exuberence about her life bounces off every page, and the enthusiasm and warmth of her family surround her, and the reader, with love. |

Dawn over Kitty Hawk $6.99 The names Wilbur and Orville Wright stand out in history as the inventors of the airplane, but lost in history are those who in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth shared the same passion: to develop the first powered aircraft. Some spent entire lives and fortunes chasing the dream, including men like the embittered Augustus Herring, who’d flown a heavier than air machine for several seconds in 1898; the pompous Samuel Pierpont Langley, of the Smithsonian Institution, who was backed by the US War Department, and even the legendary American inventor Alexander Graham Bell. These men, along with European competitors such as Louis Blériot, chased what many believed to be the impossible dream of manned, powered flight. But the Wright Brothers were the first to succeed, thanks to a combination of courage, genius, and downright stubbornness! Many followed in their footsteps, including such arch-competitors as Glenn Curtiss.The Wright Brothers’ father was a huge factor who dominated their lives, trying to control their every thought and action. A bishop of the United Brethren Church, Milton Wright wanted his sons to succeed in their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, not risk their lives. Bishop Wright saw no reason for his sons to risk everything on an isolated, windy beach in faraway North Carolina a beach called Kitty Hawk. He tried to quash their dream, but Orville and Wilbur rebelled, ultimately proving the impossible by flying on December 17, 1903. They brought the dawn of aviation, the industry that dominated the twentieth century and set the stage for the space race. |

Glenn Curtiss: Pioneer of Aviation $16.95 Glenn Hammond Curtiss was the most important figure in the development of naval aviation – if not aviation, period – in the United States. Both a thrill-seeker and a mechanical genius, he began his career as a bicycle maker and then went on to become the world’s number-one manufacturer of high-performance motorcycles. In 1903 he became the first American Motorcycle Champion; the following year he earned the title “Fastest Man on Earth” by setting the ten-mile world speed record.Looking for a new challenge, Curtiss began to build lightweight aeronautical motors and propellers, and Alexander Graham Bell convinced him to join his Aerial Experiment Association. Working with AEA, Curtiss designed the “June Bug,” which performed the first publicly viewed airplane flight in America. In 1909 he defeated the greatest fliers in the world and won the first airplane race in history, the Gordon Bennett Trophy, for America.Perhaps most important, he convinced the U.S. Navy of the importance of naval aviation. Curtiss’ planes performed the first landing on and takeoff from the deck of a ship. Curtiss invented the twin flying boat, which became a mainstay of both American and British  navies in WWI. His Curtiss “Jenny” set the standard for WWI aircraft, and his giant NC-4 “Flying Boat” crossed the Atlantic eight years before Charles Lindbergh’s celebrated flight. In this classic title, Alden Hatch offers the biography of one of the most influential men in twentieth-century American technology. |

Glenn H. Curtiss, Aviation Pioneer $21.99 Glenn Curtiss beat even the Wright brothers (who sued him bitterly) to get pilot’s license No. 1 in America. He teamed with Alexander Graham Bell, helped develop the moving wing part known as the aileron, introduced tricycle landing gear, made the first airplane sales, and turned aeronautics into a multimillion dollar business. His innovations ranged from the Curtiss Pusher to the hydroaeroplane, the flying boat, and the Curtiss Jenny. Curtiss, his engines, and his airplanes dominated the world of early aviation on this side of the Atlantic. Glenn H. Curtiss: Aviation Pioneer charts Curtiss’s breakneck course across two continents, North America and Europe, setting speed and distancerecords, experimenting with military applications, always striving for a safer, faster airplane. Fostering both water flyers and shipboard landing, he became the Father of Naval Aviation. But even the skies were not wide enough for the busy brain of Curtiss. Glenn H. Curtiss: Aviation Pioneer also tracks his dizzying ride from a village bicycle shop to record-smashing motorcycle races, futuristic travel trailers, and city building in the Florida land boom. |

Keep On Pushing: My Life with a Spinal Cord Injury $14.99 It’s amazing how fast things can change. A person can appear the picture of health only to suddenly meet their fate with a fatal heart attack. Through no fault of our own, each one of us could be killed or maimed in an instant by a careless motorist. How about an airplane malfunction at 20,000 feet? Take your pick. The fragility of life, while not very often considered, is very real and can be downright scary.Unfortunately for me, this was to become evident on the afternoon of June 28, 1984. Much unlike its precedent, the second longest bicycle ride I would ever take did not conclude on a similarly positive note. In fact, it came perilously close to resulting in my complete demise. – Excerpt from Chapter 2.I am now thirty-five years old and happily married. I have been practicing as a licensed social worker since 1999. Favorite pastimes include reading, traveling to Disney, and rooting for my favorite hockey team, the New York Rangers. My wife and I are attempting to adopt our first child. We are currently the proud parents of four cats. |

Loteria Cards and Fortune Poems: A Book of Lives $5 The gorgeous black and white line art inside this hefty little book instantly caught my eye. These linocut drawings were not the regular lotería images. They were modern adaptations, made with painstaking detail (think of a turn-of-the-millenium, wired Posada) and showing a distinctive sense of humor and pathos.

Pop on / Pop Off $15.5 Marc Newson is one of the most accomplished and influential designers of his generation, having applied his funkily futuristic but technically rigorous approach to everything from a lounge chair to an airplane cabin, from a perfume bottle to a bicycle, from a concept car to a restaurant. In Pop On/Pop Off, his multiplicity of work is presented in a pop-up book of selected projects, packaged neatly in a box, and stuffed with a bonus T-shirt and record album. Born in Sydney, Australia, the first piece of furniture he exhibited was the Lockheed Lounge–a chaise longue crossed, as it were, with a blob of mercury–and it landed him recognition around the world. Newson set up a studio in Paris in 1991, and won commissions from prestigious European manufacturers including Flos for lighting, and Cappellini and Moroso for furniture. During the mid-1990s, Newson also designed a series of restaurants–Coast in London, Manchester’s Mash & Air, and Osman in Cologne–the interior of a Tokyo recording studio, and a retail system for Belgian designer Walter Von Beirendonck. In 1997, Newson moved to London and won two dream commissions: designing the cabin and livery of a Falcon 900B long-range jet and a concept car for Ford. Other industrial jobs followed: glassware for littala, kitchen and bathroom accessories for Alessi, furniture and household objects for Magis and B&B Italia, and bicycles for Denmark’s Biomega company. Current projects include the Lever House restaurant In New York, aircraft interiors and seats for Qantas, and a mobile telephone for Japan’s KDDI. |
