Sinopsis

The author begins this fascinating book by tracing aircraft carrier development between the Wars.  Eschewed by the Germans and Italians and with Britain squandering her early lead, the Americans and Japanese became front-runners.The Royal Navy learnt the hard way in the early stages of WW2 with the loss of HMS Courageous and Glorious but, following successes at Taranto and Matapan, the value of carriers was no longer in doubt.  The sinking of Bismarck and the cataclysmic Pearl Harbor attack signaled the end of the Battleship era.  Stung by such spectacular losses the US Navy threw its weight behind the carrier concept and the naval war in the Pacific (Guadalcanal, East Solomon Islands, Santa Cruz, Midmay and Leyte Gulf) revolved round carrier-borne aircraft.Meanwhile the carrier became pivotal in protecting vital convoys in the Atlantic, Arctic and Mediterranean.  The author backs his arguments with copious examples of naval and air action.

Is this a great country or what?You can bet on the turn of the card or a roll of the dice, but also on the NFL, the NCAA, and which Olsen twin marries first. We bet $80 billion a year, the amount growing wildly as more and more people gain access to this huge American wheel of fortune. No longer quarantined in Las Vegas, gambling has become as local and convenient as our neighborhood cineplex. If there's not a casino around the corner, there's one on your laptop computer.In Jackpot Nation, Richard Hoffer takes us on a headlong tour, alternately horrifying and hilarious, across our landscape of luck. Whether he's trying to win a side of bacon in a Minnesota bar, hustling a paper sack filled with $100,000 in cash across Las Vegas parking lots, poring over expansion plans with a tribal chief in California, or visiting the New York prison cell of a retired bus salesman with a poor understanding of three-game parlays, Hoffer explores with wit and heart our national inclination—a cultural predisposition, even—to take a chance.

Did You Know ?Even though one pound of feathers and one pound of lead are known to have the same weights, it was said that lead felt heavier when people tested it.The color of the medications we take can subconsciously influence how we believe they will work. Even if the pills are nothing more than a placebo, the colors scheme fools our brain and body into thinking we've taken anything active. And, that, my friend, is how we are fooled by science.Typically, when female dogs poop, they automatically arrange themselves to face either north or south. They act this way because they are sensitive to the magnetic field of the Earth.Water has a triple point. Or, to put it another way, it may both freeze and boil at the same time. When the temperature and pressure are just right, the three phases of a substance (gas, liquid, and solid) coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Five years after My Grape Escape, Laura and Franck are back in Burgundy to tackle their newest project, a derelict 16th-century winemaker's cottage located behind Franck's family home. 
Navigating the different rules for raising children and managing a family in a small French village prove every bit as challenging for Laura as learning to drive a stick shift through narrow streets or arguing with tyrannical French officials over paint colors (spoiler alert: any color as long as it's gray). Come along on this evocative and honest journey where love, coupled with good French food and local wine, pave the way to la belle vie. 
PRAISE FOR LAURA BRADBURY 
"Bradbury's Grape Series feels like a series of honest and funny letters sent from a friend about her fascinating (and sometimes baffling) life in France. A beautiful read." 
—JANICE MACLEOD, New York Times bestselling author of Paris Letters and A Paris Year 
"Bradbury's Grape Series takes the reader on a romantic adventure into the heart, soul, and people of la belle France. Filled with delicious food, love, and laughter, Bradbury's writing proves that you have to dare to follow your heart wherever it leads you...and that sometimes we have to step outside our comfort zone to truly live." 
—SAMANTHA VÉRANT, author of How to Make a French Family and Seven Letters from Paris
