Summary

New York State was a center of industry during World War II. New York aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. More than one fourth of all US warplanes came from New York drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere, holding the line in the deserts of North Africa and flying from aircraft carriers plying the vast Pacific Ocean. Others operated over the frozen tundra of Alaska and Siberia. New York aircraft flew tons of fuel, ammunition, and supplies over the treacherous Himalayan Mountains into China, relentlessly hounded enemy submarines and ships, and battered Axis strongholds all the way to victory.

    From prehistory to the present day, the story of Edinburgh is packed with incident and drama. As Scotland's capital since 1437, the city has witnessed many of the key events which have shaped the nation. But Edinburgh has always been much more than just a political centre. During the Enlightenment, it was one the intellectual powerhouses of Europe, and in the twentieth century it became the arts capital of the world with the founding of its many festivals. Finance, religion, education and industry are also important parts of the story.
    Alistair Moffat explores these themes and many more, showing how the city has grown, changed and adapted over the centuries. He introduces Edinburgh's famous places and people – including monarchs, murderers, writers and philosophers – as well as the ordinary citizens who have contributed so much to the life of one of the world's best-known and most beautiful cites.

    Commands, to be effective, must be short and to the point: the greatest command ever recorded is found in the few simple words, “And God said, ‘Let there be light.’”Experience a complete understanding of mystical teacher Neville Goddard’s method for using the true nature of your imaginative powers of creativity as he succinctly lays out his ideas in this, his first full-length book, written in 1939. It is idealist philosophy taken to its razor-edge, argued with Neville’s typically jewel-like precision. Neville, one of the most remarkable mystical thinkers of the past century, discloses his extraordinary and testable claim that your awakened imagination is God Itself. In more than ten books and thousands of lectures, Neville expanded on that one core prin¬ciple. “The only God,” he told audiences, “is your own wonderful human imagination.”A compelling presence at metaphysical churches, spiritual centers and auditoriums, Neville was not widely known during his lifetime, but today his books and lectures have attained new popularity as a new generation is discovering and testing Neville's core principle: imagining creates reality.This edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.

    Deborah’s Letters to Barak: 28 Conversations – A Young Man's Rites of Passage to Manhood 
    More than a book, Deborah’s Letters to Barak is a call to raise men of integrity, accountability, and purpose. Inspired by the biblical relationship between Deborah, a prophetess, and Barak, a leader called to rise, this book challenges young men to embrace true masculinity, break cycles of dysfunction, and reject toxic patterns—including those that fuel gender-based violence (GBV). 
    Through 28 transformative conversations, this book equips young men, empowers women to make informed choices, and helps communities reshape the narrative on manhood. It tackles leadership, emotional healing, father wounds, accountability, and generational impact, offering wisdom and practical guidance for personal transformation. 
    📖 Key Themes: 
     ✔ Redefining masculinity—balancing strength with responsibility and vulnerability. 
    ✔ Predator vs. Protector—raising men who safeguard, not exploit. 
    ✔ Healing from emotional wounds and fatherlessness—breaking cycles of dysfunction. 
    ✔ Discipleship and accountability—mentorship as a tool for character growth. 
    ✔ Empowering women with knowledge—helping them vet and support men of integrity. 
    ✔ Tackling GBV at the root—raising men who uplift and protect, not harm. 
    This book is for young men, parents, mentors, and women seeking to better understand men of character. It is a conversation starter for families, churches, and communities working to cultivate men who heal rather than harm.
