  The Glorious Revolution -...

  The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was not an event that occurred overnight; it was the culmination of years of political, religious, and social tensions in England. By the late 17th century, England was experiencing a period of instability and growing unrest, especially regarding the power of the monarchy versus the authority of Parliament. King James II, who ascended the throne in 1685, was a deeply polarizing figure. His reign would ignite the political crisis that eventually led to what would become known as the Glorious Revolution—a bloodless overthrow of the monarchy that profoundly reshaped English government and society. 
  James II, a devout Catholic, introduced policies that alarmed the predominantly Protestant English population. He sought to expand royal power at the expense of Parliament, leading to widespread fear of a return to Catholicism and absolute monarchy, similar to the reigns of his predecessors. His attempts to grant religious tolerance to Catholics and appoint them to high government and military positions created a rift between him and Parliament, which was largely controlled by Protestants. Moreover, his apparent disregard for the Protestant majority's concerns about his intentions deepened the divide between the monarchy and the English people. 
  At the same time, the political landscape of England was undergoing significant changes. The Whigs and Tories, the two major political factions of the time, were increasingly at odds over issues of religion and royal power. The Whigs, with their preference for constitutional monarchy and limited royal power, were particularly opposed to James II’s policies. They sought to preserve the Protestant faith and limit the king’s ability to impose his will without Parliament’s consent. On the other hand, the Tories, while still supportive of the monarchy, became increasingly wary of James's actions and the possibility of his dynastic line establishing a Catholic monarchy in England.

  From an Olympic gold medal–winning coach, a new playbook for effective athlete education and team building 
   
   
   
  Championship results require championship behaviors—it's as simple as that. In this essential book, Hugh McCutcheon provides a proven framework for competitive excellence based in motor learning, psychology, and decades of coaching experience and success. 
   
   
   
  Championship Behaviors provides athletes, parents of athletes, and coaches a defined path to the "how" of significant achievement while simply and clearly explaining the research behind the "why." McCutcheon speaks to the need for aspiring athletes to work, learn, and compete and the responsibility coaches have to teach, coach, and mentor. As he says, "We won't always have five-star talent, but we can often make up the difference by being five-star teachers, learners, and competitors." 
   
   
   
  A sought-after coach and consultant, McCutcheon also illuminates the value of integrating the physical, mental, and social aspects of sport to maximize chances of competitive success.

  In 1971, a time before metal detectors and body scans, a single man boards an Air Canada DC-8 flight with a sawed-off shotgun, 54 sticks of dynamite, a parachute and a desperate plan for a $1.5 million ransom. But it's the two twisted wires in an ordinary Woolco shopping bag that will hold an entire plane hostage. 
  Trapped at 37,000 feet, flight attendant Mary Dohey becomes an unwilling participant in a deadly game, forced to hold live detonator wires for hours. One wrong move, one trembling hand, and the aircraft could explode. Around her, passengers wrestle with their own mortality while the hijacker, Paul Cini, plays a high-stakes game of psychological warfare with authorities on the ground. 
  But in this meticulously researched true-crime thriller, nothing is quite what it seems. As the FBI, Air Canada and the flight's crew race against time to prevent disaster, the truth behind Cini's elaborate deception slowly unravels—revealing an even more chilling reality about how vulnerable we all are to the power of suggestion. 
  "The Doomsday Flight" masterfully weaves together the intense drama of a hijacking, the psychological complexity of human nature, and the fascinating history of an era when the skies were a lawless frontier. Drawing from extensive interviews, photographs, newspaper archives, and witness accounts, which are all included in the book, this heart-pounding narrative puts readers in the cabin alongside passengers and crew as they face what they believe to be their final hours. 
  Taking place just days before the copycat infamous D.B. Cooper hijacking, this is perfect for fans of "Captain Phillips", "The Taking of Pelham 123" and "Air Force One". This unforgettable story exposes how the most dangerous weapons aren't always the ones we can see.

  A detailed and fully illustrated look at aerial combat in the closing year of WWII across all theaters of conflict. The final year of World War II witnessed the decline of the piston-engine fighter and the beginning of the jet age. Taking to the skies were tried-and-true fighters, improved versions of old aircraft, and newly developed jets, including prototypes that flew for the first time just before the war ended.   In Air Combat 1945, historian Donald Nijboer examines these dynamic aircraft through hundreds of wartime photographs depicting operations across Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific. This volume covers American Mustangs, Thunderbolts, and Shooting Stars; British Tempests, Spitfires, and Gloster Meteors; German Fw 190s, Bf 109Ks, and Messerschmitt Me 262s; Japanese Ki 100s, Raidens, and Tojos; and many more.
