In 'The Apache Expedition in the Sierra Madre' by John Gregory Bourke, the author provides a comprehensive account of his experiences during his military service in the American West. Bourke meticulously documents the rugged terrain of the Sierra Madre mountains and the elusive Apache tribes living in the region. His vivid descriptions and firsthand observations offer valuable insight into the complexities of Native American-European American interactions during the late 19th century.

Be Brave

Lama Dalai

“We must think globally, but act locally.” —His Holiness the Dalai LamaSimple and accessible wisdom from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on how we are human, how we are not alone, and how we must help each other.   A global pandemic has revealed to us how the world can be shaken up within a very short period. Such a crisis—experienced by all humans on the earth—has given rise to uncertainty, fear, anxiety, loneliness, and depression. As societies and nations struggle to come to terms with and contain it, economic breakdown, migration, environmental crises, and a dwindling spirit stare us in the face. In this climate, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is calling upon us to be brave—to have the courage to step up to the recognition that we are all part of the same global community. His Holiness reminds us that it takes courage to give up our self-centered sense of individuality; it takes courage to find a sense of oneness with seven billion human beings. Bravery is admitting that we are not alone, and that without community we cannot survive. In Be Brave, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches us that practicing compassion and cultivating peace of mind are the paths to inner strength, peace, clarity, and happiness.

Flying Through the Ranks - The...

Air Marshal G.A. 'Black' Robertson

The inspiration for this brilliant anthology is the "I Learnt About Flying from That" articles that first appeared in the RAF flight safety magazine Air Clues in the 1940s and continue to feature in the magazine to this day. Flying Through the Ranks gets a five-star start with an extraordinary tale from a marshal of the Royal Air Force and continues in the same vein. Men and women of every rank—pilots, navigators, engineers, a RAF regiment officer, and airmen too—reveal similar intriguing experiences in both war and peace. Exciting, amusing, poignant too at times, their stories say as much about the development of the RAF and the making of the Cold War warrior as they do about the individuals themselves. It's impossible not to be moved by these rousing stories of courage and leadership, risk-taking and pressure, invention and adventure. Starkly exposing human fallibility at times, they highlight the skill and improvisation central to the flying business. Other common themes across some uncommon accounts are the sheer exhilaration of flying, the role that luck plays in everyone's life, and the unspoken bond of respect that binds aviation professionals together. Strap yourself in for a top flight experience!
