Summary

QUEEN AND COUNTRY ABOVE ALL 
 Alex, the fiery-tempered daughter of a powerful General, was raised in the idyllic countryside surrounded by automatons in the Victorian steam age.      
Her choices up until now were dictated by her manipulative father and Alex had resigned herself to the life of a dutiful wife.    
Until she meets a man living two lives.    
Alex's world shattered when she discovered her family's involvement in thousands of deaths under the tyrannical rule of the Queen. 
Thrust into a tumultuous world of subterfuge and rebellion, Alex must break the chains of everything she once believed true to find the courage to stand with the broken rebels and fight.

    If you have ever wondered what a transportation safety investigation looks like from the inside, or aspire to be an accident investigator yourself, this book is for you. 
    Nearly four decades ago, I transitioned from being a full-time pilot to become a professional aircraft accident investigator. In my work solving aircraft accidents, I have two main missions – to provide valid information to the loved ones who are left to grieve – and to put in place safety barriers that will prevent another similar accident. 
    Despite the often traumatic and stressful circumstances that surround investigations, I have never lost my positive outlook on life, or my sense of humour. I love to share funny happenings and stories – doing so has helped sustain me and my fellow investigators through some tragic events. 
    You might already know me from my media appearances, or maybe from seeing my analysis of the disappearance of MH370 – I wrote about that in my previous book, MH370: Mystery Solved. But you don’t know much about what brought me to the point where I could write that book, or about the life experiences that shaped me both personally and professionally. Soon, you will. 
    This book is the personal story of my life as an air crash investigator. I hope you learn from it, and I hope you have a laugh (or maybe a dozen) in the process.

    The #1 bestselling trivia collection with bizarre facts to entertain you for hours, from the creator of YouTube’s RealLifeLore.    Where can I move to so that I’m never tempted by McDonald’s again?  How far into the Pacific does Trump’s wall stretch?  If Plato came back to life, what would he think of modern democracy?  Why do all empires fail?  Who decides what countries are allowed to participate in the Olympics?  What makes Finland so great?    When you take the most absurd parts of history, science, economics, and geography, you end up with a pretty confusing picture of humanity. Why do we have borders, what’s the furthest you can get from the ocean, how do you qualify as a country, and why did Vikings wear those silly helmets? These are just a few of the strange questions that bounce around the head of YouTube sensation Joseph Pisenti, aka RealLifeLore.   In his debut book, Pisenti explores the nonsensical humor of the universe with in-depth analysis of empires, economies, and ecosystems as he helps answer the ridiculous. Why, you ask? Because someone has to. Using line drawings, graphs, and charts, Pisenti not only details the absurd—he also provides explanations on why things are . . . and why they aren’t.

    "This book, a polished, winding meditation on the theory and fractiousness of motorcycles, celebrates both their eccentric history and the wary pleasures of touring."―The New Yorker 
     
    In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.

    There's no wrong way to be a woman. There are countless wrong ways to be a man.James Breakwell should know. He's tried just about all of them. Journalism. Pig ownership. Felony lawn gnome theft. Whatever masculinity is supposed to be, this can't be it. But can you really fail at something no one can quite define? Apparently.Now, in a series of funny, sharply observed, and occasionally poignant essays, everyone's favorite internet-famous father of four daughters lays down a lifetime of lessons in what it means to be a man. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wonder what really happened to those creepy lawn gnomes on that deserted country road. (Spoiler alert: They're right behind you.)If you ever wanted to know how to fail at altruism, dodge the priesthood, and stumble your way into unexpected wisdom, this book is for you.How to Be a Man (Whatever that Means) presents a vision of manhood that looks very different from what you'll see on TV. And that's a good thing. Probably.
