Publisher's Summary:

Winner of the Best Aeronautical Book Award from the Reserve Officers Association of the United States.

"The sky was full of dying airplanes" as American Liberator bombers struggled to return to North Africa after their daring low-level raid on the oil refineries of Ploesti. They lost 446 airmen and 53 planes, but Philip Ardery's plane came home. This pilot was to take part in many more raids on Hitler's Europe, including air cover for the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

This vivid firsthand account records one man's experience of World War II air warfare. Throughout, Ardery testifies to the horror of world war as he describes his fear, his longing for home, and his grief for fallen comrades. Bomber Pilot is a moving contribution to American history.

The book is pubished by The University Press of Kentucky.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Publisher's Summary:

One woman's brave journey to take control of her life, health, and future.

After a routine pap smear in 2009, Angela Schmidt Fishbaugh discovered that she had tested positive for BRCA1, a genetic trait that predisposed her to breast and ovarian cancer. After her initial shock - and subsequent to consulting with medical professionals, friends, and family - the proactive mother and teacher embarked on a mission to nip the issue in the bud.

Angela's story is one of personal fortitude. During her journey she contended with a lack of understanding from those around her as well as the impending loss of her most feminine qualities. However, as is made abundantly clear in Angela's Decision, she persevered and came out a stronger woman, immensely proud of the decisions she made. The roots of her immense personal strength become evident as Angela offers flashbacks to her past. She shows us the great difficulties she faced while caring for her ailing father and, later, her ailing mother.

Written with unbridled candor and lively prose, Angela's Decision follows Angela's yearlong journey through a myriad of clinics and hospitals and numerous operations. It is a story of struggle and trial, highlighting the challenges both she and her family faced in her crusade against her genetic condition and the great courage she showed in ensuring the mistakes of her parents did not become her own.

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-20-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The beloved sequel to the now-classic Lakota Woman, Ohitika Woman follows Mary Brave Bird as she continues her powerful, dramatic tale of ancient glory and present anguish, of courage and despair, of magic and mystery, and, above all, of the survival of both body and mind.

Coming home from Wounded Knee in 1973, married to American Indian movement leader Leonard Crow Dog, Mary was a mother with the hope of a better life. But, as she says, "Trouble always finds me." With brutal frankness she bares her innermost thoughts, recounting the dark as well as the bright moments in her always eventful life. She not only talks about the stark truths of being a Native American living in a white-dominated society but also addresses the experience of being a mother, a woman, and, rarest of all, a Sioux feminist.

Filled with contrasts, courage, and endurance, Ohitika Woman is a powerful testament to Mary's will and spirit.

Critic Reviews:

"Ohitika Woman might be the nonfiction find of the year." (Houston Chronicle)

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

In diesem sehr persönlichen Hörbuch erzählt Bettina Tietjen von der Demenzerkrankung ihres Vaters, vom ersten "Tüdeln" bis zur totalen Orientierungslosigkeit. Offen und liebevoll beschreibt sie die Achterbahn ihrer Gefühle, einen geliebten Menschen zu verlieren, aber auch ganz neu kennenzulernen, und die vielen komischen Momente, in denen sie dennoch herzhaft zusammen lachen konnten.

Trotz der Herausforderungen ist Bettina Tietjen überzeugt: Demenz ist nicht nur zum Heulen, sondern kann auch Denkanstoß und Kraftquell sein.

Título: Los Milagros de Mis Monjitas de San Clemente [Spanish Edition]

Autor: José Antonio Fortuño

Narrador: Alfonso Sales

Formato: Unabridged

Duración: 3 hrs and 15 mins

Idioma: Español

Fecha de publicación: 01-12-15

Editor: Alfonso Sales

Calificaciones: 5 de 5 de 36 votos

Categorías: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Resumen del editor:

Mas de 50 Historias Milagrosas en la Familia y en la Empresa

En estos tiempos en que todo el mundo andamos preocupados por la crisis, me parecía una buena idea hablar de la labor que, durante años, vienen haciendo silenciosa y calladamente las monjitas. Recorde la frase que me dijo Jose Antonio en el viaje que hicimos para verlas: "Si Dios existe, imagínate la influencia que ellas tendrán rezando, durante once horas diarias, exclusivamente para El". En San Clemente, provincia de Cuenca, esta el convento de clausura de las Carmelitas Descalzas. Yo, en mi ignorancia, creia que esa forma de vida pertenecia a un pasado muy remoto. Me sorprendio ver a estas mujeres (algunas de ellas muy jovencitas) en un mundo en que, segun ellas, tienen todo lo que desean. Sólo reciben información del exterior por medio de cartas o por amigos y familiares que van a visitarlas.

Trabajan bordando, pintando, con las labores de la huerta, cosen y sobre todo rezan. Y por lo que a mí respecta, rezan bajo pedido. Tú les dices tu problema, la angustia de algún pariente enfermo y ellas rezan para que se solucione todo lo antes posible. Increíble ¿verdad?, pero funciona. Disfrútalo.

Title: The Interior Circuit

Subtitle: A Mexico City Chronicle

Author: Francisco Goldman

Narrator: Thom Rivera

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-09-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Coming off the most successful book of a decorated career - Say Her Name - The Interior Circuit is Francisco Goldman's timely and provocative journey into the heart of Mexico City. The Interior Circuit is Goldman's story of his emergence from grief five years after his wife's death, symbolized by his attempt to overcome his fear of driving in the city. Embracing the DF (Mexico City) as his home, Goldman explores and celebrates the city, which stands defiantly apart from so many of the social ills and violence wracking Mexico. This is the chronicle of an awakening, both personal and political, "interior" and "exterior", to the meaning and responsibilities of home. Mexico's narco war rages on and, with the restoration of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (the PRI) to power in the summer's 2012 elections, the DF's special apartness seems threatened. In the summer of 2013, when Mexican organized crime violence and death erupts in the city in an unprecedented way, Goldman sets out to try to understand the menacing challenges the city now faces.

By turns exuberant, poetic, reportorial, philosophic, and urgent, The Interior Circuit fuses a personal journey to an account of one of the world's most remarkable and often misunderstood cities.

Title: Taildragger Sunset: A DC-3 Pilot's Memoir

Author: Gino Pastori, B.Z. Kelly

Narrator: B.Z. Kelly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-30-14

Publisher: B.Z. Kelly

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

From a very young age, Gino Pastori knew he wanted to fly the iconic DC-3. He wanted to fly freight because it was flown at night. Gino shares his memories of what it took to become a commercial pilot and what it was like to live the dream. With more than 7,400 flying hours logged in DC-3s, there were many incredible flying stories. This memoir includes the most memorable stories, such as flying a plane after being temporarily blinded by a lightning strike.

Through the stories, Gino describes the skills needed to be a successful DC-3 pilot. Since the DC-3 is a taildragger, it requires unique skills during take off and landing. Care must also be taken with the radial engines to avoid damaging them. Flying freight also involved long hours and occasionally sleeping under a wing of the plane.

There are also moments of celebration like the feeling of that first ever flight at the controls of a DC-3.

This fast-paced memoir puts you in the pilot's seat of a great adventure.
