  Journey from the Isle of Skye to the Deep South, to the Rockies and beyond.
  A dance was devised in eighteenth-century Skye. An exhilarating dance. A dance, a visitor reports, 'the emigration from Skye has occasioned'. The visitor asks for the dance's name. 'They call it America,' he's told.
  Over a period of three centuries, many thousands of people left the islands and wider north of Scotland to make new lives across the sea. In this new edition of his acclaimed book, historian James Hunter follows in their footsteps – from the Deep South to the Rockies and beyond – to tell the story of the Highland impact on the New World.
  In doing so, he reveals how soldiers, explorers, guerrilla fighters, fur traders, lumberjacks, railways builders and settlers from Scotland's glens and islands contributed much to the USA and Canada. It is the story of how a hard-pressed people found in North America a land of opportunity.
  In this edition features a new introduction from James Hunter, where he reflects on what led him to embark on travels and researches that took him across a continent.

  What’s Wrong With Socialism: A Biblical Investigation For Everyone takes a clear, accessible look at one of the most debated political and economic systems of our time—through the lens of the Bible. 
  Author Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD explores socialism not just as an abstract theory, but as a lived reality with deep implications for human freedom, justice, wealth, and responsibility. Drawing on Scripture, history, and practical examples, Brubaker asks whether socialism’s promises of equality and fairness hold up when tested against biblical principles and real-world outcomes. 
  This audiobook helps listeners understand:The core ideas of socialism and why they appeal to many.How socialism differs from voluntary sharing and generosity modeled in the Bible.What Scripture teaches about wealth, justice, and the proper use of possessions.The dangers of materialism, state control, and the suppression of personal responsibility.How mercy and justice are often confused in debates about public policy. 
  Written in straightforward, non-technical language, this is a biblical investigation for everyone—students, pastors, church groups, anyone wrestling with the promises and pitfalls of socialism. Brubaker takes the topic seriously, showing where and why socialism ultimately fails the biblical test. 
  Whether you are new to the discussion or already familiar with political and economic debates, this audiobook will equip you with clear categories and biblical grounding to think more deeply about socialism and its alternatives. 
  For Christians seeking clarity in an age of confusion, or for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, economics, and justice, What’s Wrong With Socialism offers a compelling and thought-provoking guide.

  In the tradition of Notorious RBG, a lively celebration of the life, wisdom, wit, legacy, and fearless style of iconic American Congresswoman Maxine Waters. 
  “Let me just say this: I’m a strong black woman, and I cannot be intimidated. I cannot be undermined. I cannot be thought to be afraid of Bill O’Reilly or anyone.”—Maxine Waters  
   
  To millions nationwide, Congresswoman Maxine Waters is a hero of the resistance and an icon, serving eye rolls, withering looks, and sharp retorts to any who dare waste her time on nonsense. But behind the Auntie Maxine meme is a seasoned public servant and she’s not here to play. Throughout her forty years in public service and eighty years on earth, U.S. Representative for California’s 43rd district has been a role model, a crusader for justice, a game-changer, a trailblazer, and an advocate for the marginalized who has long defied her critics, including her most vocal detractor, Donald J. Trump. And she’s just getting started.  
  From her anti-apartheid work and support of affirmative action to her passionate opposition to the Iraq War and calls to hold Trump to account, you can count on Auntie Maxine to speak truth to power and do it with grace and, sometimes, sass. As ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee and one of the most powerful black women in America, she is the strong, ethical voice the country has always needed, especially right now. 
  Reclaiming Her Time pays tribute to all things Maxine Waters, from growing up in St. Louis “too skinny” and “too black,” to taking on Wall Street during the financial crisis and coming out on top in her legendary showdowns with Trump and his cronies. Featuring inspiring highlights from her personal life and political career, beloved memes, and testimonies from her many friends and fans, Reclaiming Her Time is a funny, warm, and admiring portrait of a champion who refuses to stay silent in the face of corruption and injustice; a powerful woman who is an inspiration to us all. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Eddie Rickenbacker and Dick...

  At first, airplane improvements occurred in an ad hoc, almost accidental manner during World War I. However, when pilots’ mounting of armaments on airplanes proved a successful means of defeating other aircraft and even attacking men on the ground, a much more active and systematic development of warplanes began across the continent. Each advance prompted a countermeasure, as the two sides strove for primacy in a deadly, unforgiving environment which rewarded real advances in equipment and tactics with survival and punished poor ideas with death. Before long, relatively powerful, heavily armed aircraft buzzed through the skies over battle-stained Europe, tearing each other apart with furious gusts of machine gun fire and sending many of the vaunted dirigibles plunging, burning, to the ground. The new era of fighting aircraft arrived in dramatic fashion, raising successful pilots to celebrity or heroic status, and laying the groundwork for the tremendous potential of airpower to achieve its next logical expansion in World War II and beyond.  
  Rickenbacker's World War I service won him the Medal of Honor, along with more awards for valor than any other person fighting in World War I. But participating in the wars was not nearly enough time in the air for the ambitious Rickenbacker. When he was not setting new records in the air, he was setting new speed records on the ground, most notably as a first-generation race car driver who not only drove cars but designed them.  
  By the time World War II arrived, the fighter airplane was a much different beast than the purpose-built aircraft-hunting machines of 1917 and 1918. Though propellers still provided motive force, greatly increased engine power allowed these aircraft to slice through the sky at speeds of 200 miles per hour (mph), 300 mph, or even in excess of 400 mph when flying flat-out. Service ceilings jumped to 25,000 feet, 30,000 feet, or higher.
