Summary

The Macchi M.C. 200 “Saetta”, designed by the famous engineer Mario Castoldi, represented a significant evolution in the production of Italian fighter aircraft.Compared to the Fiat CR 32 and Fiat CR 42 biplanes, which still constituted the backbone of Italian fighter squadrons at the beginning of the Second World War, the Macchi M.C. 200 was characterized, together with its contemporary Fiat G.50, by a low-wing configuration and an all-metal structure.It made its first flight on 24 December 1937 and entered service in 1939: although equipped with a low-powered engine and armed only with a pair of 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, the Saetta’s design was very valid.	The Macchi M.C. 200 had no particular defects and was equipped with excellent capabilities for close combat.In fact, its handling was excellent and its stability in high-speed dives was exceptional: it could thus duel with the best Allied fighters and come out undefeated.	Only the Supermarine Spitfire could outperform it in a climb.On the other hand, its good flight characteristics were offset by low engine power, a barely sufficient horizontal speed and inadequate armament of only two 12.7 mm machine guns in the fuselage, synchronized for firing through the propeller.With the insignia of the Regia Aeronautica, it operated on almost all fronts of the Second World War, from the Mediterranean Sea to Africa, the Balkans and on the Eastern Front.The Macchi M.C. 200s were built:	By Aer.Macchi: 395 examples.	By Breda, which actually built the largest number: 556 examples.	By SAI Ambrosini: 223 examples.

    On October 7, 1964, Debra Miller's life turns upside down when her mother is arrested for the murder of her father. At only fourteen years old, Debra becomes a ward of the court, grappling with the unfathomable trauma of watching her mother's trial and conviction—a devastation that is only amplified when her family's tragedy is splashed across headlines and featured in Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem.Desperate to escape the notoriety of her family and utterly ill equipped to face the world, Debra spends her young adulthood sinking into mental illness, toxic relationships, and substance abuse. Meanwhile, her unrepentant mother, Lucille, uses Debra to supply contraband in prison. When Lucille is released, twentysomething Debra, seeking the love and support she so desperately desires, moves in with her—only to find herself constantly manipulated and dragged into her mother's illegal activities. Debra spends years trying to escape her mother's vortex even as she battles her own demons. Ultimately, it's only when Lucille passes away that Debra finally frees herself from her grip—and realizes she needs to change her life.In this raw and poignant memoir, Debra Miller bares the scars of an adolescence and adulthood shaped by the impact of a destructive mother and demonstrates that healing is always possible.

    So Great Was the Slaughter reveals the untold story of Arkansas conservation pioneers who saved the state's game and fish populations. As Arkansas entered the twentieth century, the national demand for meat combined with the ability to ship millions of animals to hungry cities like New Orleans, Memphis, and Chicago had driven many species, including bison and passenger pigeons, to extinction in Arkansas. Many others, including deer, bear, turkey, quail, and fish, were in danger of disappearing. 
    In response, an unlikely coalition of Arkansas sportsmen, hunters, and conservationists created a vision for conservation legislation, game laws, and the establishment of fish hatcheries and wildlife refuges. With support from influential outsiders like E. A. McIlhenny and the United States Biological Survey, they waged a long battle against entrenched political and commercial interests. 
    Buckley Foster's meticulous research reveals how these pioneers fought to save the state's wildlife resources from destruction and laid the foundations for sustainable, modern wildlife management in Arkansas. So Great Was the Slaughter will fascinate hunters, conservationists, historians, and those interested in the history of wildlife conservation and conflicts between market hunters and sportsmen in the United States and the American South.

    Black Folk - The Roots of the...

    There have been countless books, articles, and televised reports in recent years about the almost mythic "white working class," a tide of commentary that has obscured the labor, and even the very existence, of entire groups of working people, including everyday Black workers. In this brilliant corrective, Black Folk, acclaimed historian Blair LM Kelley restores the Black working class to the center of the American story. 
     
     
     
    Spanning two hundred years—from one of Kelley's earliest known ancestors, an enslaved blacksmith, to the essential workers of the Covid-19 pandemic—Black Folk highlights the lives of the laundresses, Pullman porters, domestic maids, and postal workers who established the Black working class as a force in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Taking jobs white people didn't want and confined to segregated neighborhoods, Black workers found community in intimate spaces, from stoops on city streets to the backyards of washerwomen, where multiple generations labored from dawn to dusk, talking and laughing in a space free of white supervision. As millions of Black people left the violence of the American South for the promise of a better life in the North and West, these networks of resistance and joy sustained early arrivals and newcomers alike and laid the groundwork for organizing for better jobs, better pay, and equal rights.
