First to Fly: How Wilbur and Orville Wright Invented the Airplane

It started with a toy. As boys, Wilbur and Orville Wright loved making their helicopter fly. As adults, the brothers made their living taking things apart and putting them together again: printing presses, bicycles, planes. . . . Through trial and error, these two boys from Dayton, Ohio, built the plane that would change the world forever. With an inspiring text, original paintings, period photographs, and detailed diagrams, First to Fly recreates the story of the Wright Brothers, from their earliest challenges to their final triumph.

...the lives and writings of Francis and Clare are the very stuff of poetry. As the poems in this anthology demonstrate, Francis and Clare are icons that call from poets, ancient and new, songs of homage, songs of veneration, songs that try to understand something of the mystery of their love of God and all God s creatures... from the Foreword by Murray Bodo, O.F.M. Francis and Clare in Poetry: An Anthology is a comprehensive collection of poems written by and about Saints Francis and Clare. The poetry in this anthology is as timeless and memorable as the masters who wrote them.

With the secular culture falling down all around him, James Bailey's not-so-wonderful-life is spinning out of control. Where can he turn? How can he go?  David Craig takes us on an exhilarating cab ride, side-swiping transcendentalism, Blythesdale, and Margaret Fuller in the process. And in doing so, he manages to turn the "search for father" motif in American letters on its head. This is a search for the Holy Mother.  It's a rare book that is both monastic and charismatic-anyone acquainted with the latter will love the chapter on misguided zeal, aptly titled "Busbey Burkeley." And there is no preaching to the choir in this thoroughly Catholic book. You will be drawn in, challenged, sung to. Enjoy.

People get it wrong. The saints are more human than the rest of us, not less. And this is so not only in the great saints like Padre Pio, who once punched a man who denied his stigmata, but in lesser known holy ones as well. Peter Maurin, for example, the co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, knew the pull of pride. That's why he said, Don't try and be a big shot. Be a little shot. And Blessed Anna-Maria Taigi? She once threatened her ambitious daughter with a hot poker. There would be no social climbing in her family. They are more alive than the rest of us, and that is because they understand humility. It is sanity, joy, the only way to heaven. Through their intercession, may we grow in it daily.

IT' S OK TO FAIL THE TEST As Long as You Learn the Lesson! "DEAR GOD, I need help! I'll do anything if you'll just get me out of this mess. Please, make the pain go away." Does God really use painful events to teach us valuable lessons? If so, then why do we often ignore, forget, or fail to apply the lessons? During his twelve year battle with the threat of death by cancer, David Craig discovers unexpected answers to these questions while attempting to renegotiate the promises he made to God in exchange for his life. His unwillingness to believe that "the doctor always knows best" just because he's the doctor, produces a startling revelation-leading him to an unconventional yet most logical approach to cancer treatment.

History

Pleasant Word-A Division of Wi

*** I'm still learning, still making mistakes, but I feel ready now - after a lot of twists and turns along the way - to share my journey with you. In his much-anticipated first book, celebrated singer-songwriter Craig David takes us on a journey of connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting, weaving together stories of his life and music - starting with his early days in Southampton working with The Artful Dodger, to his overnight chart-topping success, through to the present day, and everything in between. This is Craig as we've never seen him before - the always-positive showman, baring his soul for the first time. From physical pain, lost love, public humiliation and depression, Craig takes us past his comfort zone, in a raw, honest and courageous account of his own lived experience. In opening up about how he overcame these obstacles, Craig shares his insight and provides practical advice that will help us to navigate the daily challenges we all face. This is Craig's story of how he learned to tune into his best life.

In the Clearances of the 19th century, crofts - once the mainstay of Highland life in Scotland - were swept away as the land was put over to sheep grazing. Many of the people of the Highlands and islands of Scotland were forced from their homes by landowners in the Clearances. Some fled to Nova Scotia and beyond. David Craig sets out to discover how many of their stories survive in the memories of their descendants. He travels through 21 islands in Scotland and Canada, many thousands of miles of moor and glen, and presents the words of men and women of both countries as they recount the suffering of their forbears.
