This pictorial book displays the beauty of a lake built by a lumber baron, Robert A. Long, in the middle of his planned city, Longview, Washington. There are a dozen black and white historical photos plus 72 vivid color photographs that show the lake in all the seasons, starting with the crowds at the Fourth of July celebration. Stunning pictures of the gold of fall leaves are followed by those depicting the bleakness of winter. But life begins anew in the spring with bursts of greens, pinks, and reds caught by photographer Travis Cavens.

Hang on and Fly: A Post-War Story of Plane Crash Tragedies, Heroism, and Survival

Hang on and Fly. A Post-War Story of Plane Crash Tragedies, Heroism, and Survival Passenger planes are crashing three and four times a month in 1951 just as Americans are beginning to fly. Then a loaded plane disappears in the night and can't be found. Panic and frustration reach all the way to the White House. Twenty-six are killed in the most spectacular crash that no one heard on a mountain frosted with snow and fog. Fourteen survivors are the largest group of plane crash victims to be lost and stranded in North America. The stewardess holds a baby in her arms until it dies. They7 huddle beneath a parachute tent, arguing over food and how to get out. One commits a dastardly criminal act upon the dead. When rescuers don't arrive after 40 hours, a hero passenger stumbles out of the snow-filled woods to find help from a farmer's wife with a secret deadly threat of her own. Distracted by blazing headlines, crash tourists, and a federal probe, simple farm families are intertwined with urban crash survivors leading up to more tragedy on the plane crash mountain. Hang on and Fly is a dramatic tale of the most incredible year of aviation disasters that made Americans plane crash jumpy. Passengers in rope seatbelts are eaten by sharks: a pilot with heart disease flies into a hill; three crashes close a major airport; a lost pilot mistakes Lake Ontario for the Atlantic. It's the origin of our belief that we're safest in the back of the plane. It's the beginning of modern plane crash investigations, inspired Hollywood's airplane disaster movie genre, and caused safety regulations we all take for granted today. Journalist Tim Lake tells the gripping story of America's first budget airlines as only he can. His family was there. http://www.timlakebooks.com/

They are taught that desertion is death and loyalty is life - The Almek must look to the future and ignite change if they are to cure the water and save humanity. Man-made pollution has altered Earth's water making it too toxic for human consumption - with the exception of a single underground, uncontaminated spring in Michigan. The last living humans cultivate the land and manage survival. Together they have formed The Almek civilization. The Almek live in confinement, forced to operate according to the inhumane laws and barbaric control of their corrupt rulers.For eighteen years they have survived. But The Almek's way of life now faces it's greatest tribulation yet: their natural spring is depleting and they must find a cure for the Earth's most precious resource or face absolute extinction. Age of The Almek is a disturbing reality that explores the possible repercussions of man-made pollution. This novel is the first of its series, and will appeal to readers who enjoy suspenseful, exciting reads. Contains graphic violence and thoughts of suicide. Reviews "With masterful world-building and suspense, Lake has created two colonies that echo the very real fear of humankind turning in on itself. She shows how terror and helplessness entwine and create hatred, and how greedy lies are spun to keep hold of power." -Madelyn Grey "Detailed, thrilling and absorbing. Not to be missed on any accounts. Gave me glimpses of the critically acclaimed "Lord of the Flies." -Abhirun Das "It's the age-old dance we see in every oppressed society in history, one step forward towards freedom and three steps back into cruelty, and Tara Lake nails that ballet perfectly." -Lucie Ataya "Lake captures the whole gamut of human nature through the journey of her (many) characters. Good or bad, flawed or ambiguous, they are all forced to make choices to survive." -David. P About the author Tara A. Lake lives in Southern Ontario, Canada with her family and their many animals.
