Sinossi

In "Sully's Challenge: 'Miracle on the Hudson' 'Äì Official Investigation & Full Report of the Federal Agency," the National Transportation Safety Board meticulously presents an exhaustive account of the 2009 emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River. This book is a factual chronicle that intricately details the investigative process, incorporating eyewitness accounts, cockpit recordings, and expert analyses. Its literary style is formal yet accessible, designed to impart critical insights not only for aviation specialists but also for the general public, thereby placing the event in the broader context of aviation safety and human perseverance. The NTSB, an independent federal agency that conducts thorough investigations into transportation incidents, draws upon an extensive history of invaluable lessons learned from prior aviation mishaps. By systematically examining the factors that contributed to the successful water landing orchestrated by Captain Chesley 'ÄúSully'Äù Sullenberger, the report serves as a pivotal case study in both pilot decision-making and crisis management, showcasing the agency's commitment to transparency and safety improvement. "Sully's Challenge" is essential reading for aviation enthusiasts, students of safety protocol, and anyone seeking inspiration from stories of crisis aversion. It not only documents a remarkable event in modern history but also highlights the importance of preparedness and decisive action in life-threatening situations.

    After the fairy tale of Happily Ever After ends in heartbreak, what then? From multi-award-winning author River Faire comes an inspiring account of second chances, healing, inexplicable magic, and following the soul's compass. 
    River, an alternative healer and Paris-trained chef--a decidedly reluctant mystic-returns to England from America to help his ex-partner, back from the brink of death. Stepping into a London life he left behind, haunted by ghosts, he finds himself on an unanticipated journey of the heart. When the two men relocate to the English countryside, he discovers more than a charming pastoral landscape, he unexpectedly glimpses the fabric of life itself. 
    With disarming honesty and a searching, lyrical voice, WHERE TWO WORLDS TOUCH is a transcendent narrative about navigating the intricacies of the human heart, no matter whom we love. An invitation to say yes to uncertainty and vulnerability, to trust the unknowable mystery, while seeking the place we belong and what is uniquely ours to bring. A genre-defying memoir-one part love story, one part celebration of the table, one part ode to nature, and one part soul guide woven as an indelible offering that lingers long past the final page.
