  You hear them first, the whop whop sound of rotor blades chopping through the humid Vietnam air. Suddenly they appear, screaming toward the landing zone at treetop level. Gunships launch rockets into the nearby tree line. The resulting explosions announce the arrival of the lift helicopters, pointing their noses skyward like falcons coming out of a dive for landing. Bullets rip into the thin aluminum skin and plastic that surrounds the men who fly these machines. When one pilot is hit, the other takes the controls and carries on. When one helicopter crashes in flames, the pilots in the others maintain formation and push ahead. Nothing deters these warriors, volunteers all, from flying on with the tenaciousness of zealots. 
   
   
   
  Who are these men? Where did they come from? Where have they gone? 
   
   
   
  Mended Wings is their story. Follow the lives of ten Purple Heart heroes as they relate the Vietnam War experience from the perspective of the helicopter cockpit. Get to know the generation of men who fought with pride, determination, skill, and courage only to be shunned when they brought their battered bodies and haunting memories home. Their fathers and uncles were heralded as the "greatest generation." Meet the forgotten generation. Meet the men whose stories did not end as a name on a black wall in Washington D.C. Meet the survivors.

  Americans With African Roots Empowered (A’WA’RE™) offers a grounded and insightful exploration of the history and identity of the Hebrew Israelites, tracing their journey from biblical times through centuries of exile, colonization, and cultural erasure. Beginning with King James VI and I, the book examines how his influence shaped the Bible’s translation and how this version was used to reinforce imperial agendas. Through careful comparison with ancient texts such as the Ethiopian Bible and analysis of removed or suppressed scriptures, the book reveals how religious doctrine was reshaped to justify colonization and slavery. The transformation of the Hebrew Israelite faith into a tool of European dominance is laid bare, showing how key elements of biblical history were distorted or omitted. Spanning events from the founding of Jamestown to the transatlantic slave trade, this work connects pivotal historical moments to the ongoing journey of a people whose story has often been hidden. It also explores the cultural endurance and prophetic traditions of the Hebrew Israelites, the evolving role of women, and the spiritual impact of the King James Bible on African-American communities. This is both a historical reexamination and a call to rediscover truth, identity, and legacy in the face of centuries of misrepresentation.

  Nineteen Reservoirs - On Their...

  Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. 
   
   
   
  From 1907 to 1967, a network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York, including Greene, Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties. This feat of engineering served to meet New York City's ever-increasing need for water, sustaining its inhabitants and cementing it as a center of industry. West of the Hudson, it meant that twenty-six villages, with their farms, forest lands, orchards, and quarries, were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, and submerged, profoundly altering ecosystems in ways we will never fully appreciate. 
   
   
   
  This paradox of victory and loss is at the heart of Nineteen Reservoirs, Lucy Sante's meticulous account of how New York City secured its seemingly limitless fresh water supply, and why it cannot be taken for granted. In inimitable form, Sante plumbs the historical record to surface forgotten archives and images, bringing lost places back to life on the page. Her immaculately calibrated sensitivity honors both perspectives on New York City's reservoir system and helps us understand the full import of its creation.

  Bold Ventures - Thirteen Tales...

  A prize-winning Belgian poet explores the nature of creative endeavor—the godlike ambition, the crushing defeat of failure—through the stories of thirteen tragic architects. 
   
   
   
  In thirteen fascinating chapters, Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal to their architects—architects who either killed themselves or are rumored to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire in seventeenth-century France to a theater that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC, and an eerily sinking swimming pool in the author's hometown. Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Darwin to art history, stories from her own life, and popular culture, Van den Broeck brings patterns into focus as she asks, What is that strange, life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator? 
   
   
   
  Threaded through each story is the author's meditation on the question of suicide—what Albert Camus called the "one truly serious philosophical problem"—in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking ground in literary nonfiction, as well as providing solace and consolation to anyone who has ever attempted a creative act.
