Texas

Once upon a time in America, half the people lost every dime they ever had. Then the coming of the Dust Bowl hit as hard as a prairie tornado. Reuben, just completing second grade in Ambler, Oklahoma, has grown up knowing the richness of farm life. Now his father, desperate to make ends meet, takes a job as a wingwalker in a traveling county fair. Uprooted from the life he's loved and afraid of his own shadow, Reuben needs a full measure of love and courage to get by.

The subjects of this book have embarrassed their builders, enraged their owners and frightened their pilots. In many cases, these are aircraft that should never have been built, and which are more starkly bizarre than the most deranged flights of fantasy.

Patrick Flanery

Rhode Island

A Novel

From the critically acclaimed author of Absolution, a "dazzling . . . thrilling . . . downright exhilarating" (The Washington Post) page-turner set in the American heartland.

In Patrick Flanery's tensely brilliant second novel, the layered and tumultuous past of one plot of former farmland comes to haunt its new owners in breathtaking yet deeply meaningful ways.

When Julia and Nathaniel arrive in a luxury suburb of neo-Victorian homes on the edge of a sprawling midwestern city, they have no inkling of its history. For the East Coast couple and their young son, Copley, it is a fresh start, promising a bucolic American future. They buy up the signature home of the development in a foreclosure sale and move in to their brave new world. Yet violence lies just beneath the surface of this land, and simmers deep within Nathaniel--as it did in the development's architect. As the remaining trees on the land bear witness, reality shifts, and the edges of what is right and wrong blur and then vanish, as Copley becomes convinced that someone is living in the house with them.

How to Get Things Right

A New York Times Bestseller In latest bestseller, Atul Gawande shows what the simple idea of the checklist reveals about the complexity of our lives and how we can deal with it. The modern world has given us stupendous know-how. Yet avoidable failures continue to plague us in health care, government, the law, the financial industry--in almost every realm of organized activity. And the reason is simple: the volume and complexity of knowledge today has exceeded our ability as individuals to properly deliver it to people--consistently, correctly, safely. We train longer, specialize more, use ever-advancing technologies, and still we fail. Atul Gawande makes a compelling argument that we can do better, using the simplest of methods: the checklist. In riveting stories, he reveals what checklists can do, what they can't, and how they could bring about striking improvements in a variety of fields, from medicine and disaster recovery to professions and businesses of all kinds. And the insights are making a difference. Already, a simple surgical checklist from the World Health Organization designed by following the ideas described here has been adopted in more than twenty countries as a standard for care and has been heralded as "the biggest clinical invention in thirty years" (The Independent).

The Checklist Manifesto

537670f3-d270-49b4-8028-13c2f1a81bca-1

Awesome professional development concept that can be applied to any field! The author shows how something as simple as a checklist can help any field, from medicine to construction, from finance to disaster recovery.

From the author of the world renowned masterpiece The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery's novel Night Flight is similarly magical in its telling of the miracle of flight.



In this gripping novel, Saint-Exupéry tells about the brave men who piloted night mail planes from Patagonia, Chile, and Paraguay to Argentina in the early days of commercial aviation.

Preface by André Gide. Translated by Stuart Gilbert.

The Novel Adventures of a Stewardess Wannabe Who Becomes a Flight Attendant

"It was 1978. People didn't have home computers, video players, or answering machines. We rented our telephones from local phone companies and hand-wrote letters. The terms 'politically correct' and 'African-American' had not been coined. 'Eating disorders' and 'alternate lifestyles' were not yet common household phrases. Only strippers wore thongs, which made perfect sense to me, as they only caused one to gyrate their hynie in a desperate attempt to dislodge the bothersome wedgie." So writes Sherri Van Ness, an unassuming girl from the burbs of Kansas who's about to embark on the adventure of her life when she signs up to become a stewardess. But it's much more turbulent than this doughy-eyed 19-year-old ever imagined as she tries to navigate past grouchy passengers, fly-by-night relationships and the unforgiving, relentless, humiliating, monthly weigh-ins. Some dreams come true. Others require a vomit bag. That's not to say Sherri doesn't enjoy herself. Au contraire! There are friends to be made and men to be made and the maid who made up her room in New York is so nice! Yes, the work is difficult at times and the money isn't always good, but there are perks: free flights and an endless supply of tiny vodka bottles and salted peanuts (peanut allergies hadn't been invented yet.) Like Dorothy Gale sans Toto, Sherri leaves Kansas and finds herself amidst a cast of characters as strange to her as the Scarecrow and the Munchkins were to Dorothy. Her whirlwind journey takes her from innocent, insecure stewardess to mature and confident flight attendant. Or does she? Book your flight now with this very enjoyable read, put your seat back in the upright position, and enjoy the ride!

The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes comes complete with step-by-step instructions for 10 aerobatic amazements. Also includes 40 sheets of flight-tested, ready-to-fold paper printed on both sides in a variety of patterns.Making paper airplanes doesn't feel like science (although this book explains some of the science behind flying paper airplanes), and it's not quite art.

The 10 airplanes in this book are the best we've ever seen, from the Nakamura Lock (which could just be the best-flying paper airplane you've ever folded) to the Spy Plane (designed to fly high and stay aloft for a longer time than most other paper airplanes). This big book comes complete with 40 sheets of flight-tested, ready-to-fold paper, printed on both sides in a variety of 20 colorful patterns, including leopard print, wood grain, hot rod flames and lose-it-on-the-lawn grass. It's everything you need to rule the skies. Comes with: 56 page book, 40 sheets of custom-designed paper. Folding a single sheet of paper into a high performance, blow-the-competition-away flying paper machine has never been easier.

Life Aboard the USS George H. W. Bush

From a writer "whose genre-jumping refusal to be pinned down [makes him] an exemplar of our era" (NPR), a new book that confirms his power to astound readers.
 
As a child Geoff Dyer spent long hours making and blotchily painting model fighter planes. So the adult Dyer jumped at the chance of a residency aboard an aircraft carrier. Another Great Day at Sea chronicles Dyer's experiences on the USS George H.W. Bush as he navigates the routines and protocols of "carrier-world," from the elaborate choreography of the flight deck through miles of walkways and hatches to kitchens serving meals for a crew of five thousand to the deafening complexity of catapult and arresting gear. Meeting the Captain, the F-18 pilots and the dentists, experiencing everything from a man-overboard alert to the Steel Beach Party, Dyer guides us through the most AIE (acronym intensive environment) imaginable.
 
A lanky Englishman (could he really be both the tallest and the oldest person on the ship?) in a deeply American world, with its constant exhortations to improve, to do better, Dyer brilliantly records the daily life on board the ship, revealing it to be a prism for understanding a society where discipline and conformity, dedication and optimism, become forms of self-expression. In the process it becomes clear why Geoff Dyer has been widely praised as one of the most original--and funniest--voices in literature.
 
Another Great Day at Sea is the definitive work of an author whose books defy definition.
