Title: Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying

Author: Wolfgang Langewiesche

Narrator: Jason Leikam

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:08:18

Language: English

Release date: 04-10-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science & Technology, Computers, Technology & Engineering

Summary:

WHAT'S IN STICK AND RUDDER:

- The invisible secret of all heavier-than-air flight: the Angle of Attack. What it is, and why it can't be seen. How lift is made, and what the pilot has to do with it.

- Why airplanes stall How do you know you're about to stall?

- The landing approach. How the pilot's eye functions in judging the approach.

- The visual clues by which an experienced pilot unconsciously judges: how you can quickly learn to use them.

- 'The Spot that does not move.' This is the first statement of this phenomenon. A foolproof method of making a landing approach across pole lines and trees.

- The elevator and the throttle. One controls the speed, the other controls climb and descent. Which is which?

- The paradox of the glide. By pointing the nose down less steeply, you descend more steeply. By pointing the nose down more steeply, you can glide further.

- What's the rudder for? The rudder does NOT turn the airplane the way a boat's rudder turns the boat. Then what does it do?

- How a turn is flown. The role of ailerons, rudder, and elevator in making a turn.

- The landing--how it's made. The visual clues that tell you where the ground is.

- The 'tail-dragger' landing gear and what's tricky about it. This is probably the only analysis of tail-draggers now available to those who want to fly one.

- The tricycle landing gear and what's so good about it. A strong advocacy of the tricycle gear written at a time when almost all civil airplanes were taildraggers.

- Why the airplane doesn't feel the wind.

- Why the airplane usually flies a little sidewise.

- Plus: a chapter on Air Accidents by Leighton Collins, founder and editor of AIR FACTS. His analyses of aviation's safety problems have deeply influenced pilots and aeronautical engineers and have contributed to the benign characteristics of today's airplane.

Stick and Rudder is the first exact analysis of the art of flying ever attempted. It has been continously in print for thirty-three years. It shows precisely what the pilot does when he flies, just how he does it, and why.

Because the basics are largely unchanging, the book therefore is applicable to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and to the instructor himself.

When Stick and Rudder first came out, some of its contents were considered highly controversial. In recent years its formulations have become widely accepted. Pilots and flight instructors have found that the book works.

Today several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information. But Stick and Rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying. One thorough reading of it is the equivalent of many hours of practice.

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

Advised by both tellers of fairy tales and harbingers of doom, many engaged couples simply don't know what to expect from marriage, so they focus their anxious energies on the wedding day. Rob Green, a pastor, counselor, and veteran of many premarital counseling sessions, shares that the joy, fun, companionship, and love couples hope for before marriage are not only possible, they are actually God's plan for marriage. But none of these wonderful things happen automatically when you tie the knot. A strong and satisfying marriage must be intentionally built on Jesus.

Tying the Knot offers soon-to-be-married couples a practical vision of Christ-centered marriage that is realistic, hopeful, and actionable. This nine-session study guides couples through issues like conflict, expectations, communication, finances, and intimacy, showing how each can be successfully resolved with Christ at the center of the marriage.

Knowing the stresses and needs of a couple in their season of engagement, Green has helpfully designed the study to require a manageable (and healthy) 60 minutes of at-home work per session, with questions and exercises to build communication and intimacy at the end of each chapter. Tying the Knot also includes an appendix for mentors, making it easy for a married couple, lay leader, or counselor to lead an engaged couple through the book.

Field-tested and recommended by multiple counselors in a thriving counseling practice, Tying the Knot has already guided many couples into a stronger and more joyful union. Let this nine-week pre-marriage study reorient your life and marriage around Christ, so you both will experience all the blessings of marriage as God designed it.

Narrator: Alister Austin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15:47:14

Language: English

Release date: 03-21-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Summary:

R. Buckminster Fuller is regarded as one of the most important figures of the 20th century, renowned for his achievements as an inventor, designer, architect, philosopher, mathematician, and dogged individualist. Perhaps best remembered for the Geodesic Dome and the term 'Spaceship Earth,' his work and his writings have had a profound impact on modern life and thought.

Critical Path is Fuller's master work--the summing up of a lifetime's thought and concern--as urgent and relevant as it was upon its first publication in 1981. Critical Path details how humanity found itself in its current situation--at the limits of the planet's natural resources and facing political, economic, environmental, and ethical crises.

The crowning achievement of an extraordinary career, Critical Path offers the reader the excitement of understanding the essential dilemmas of our time and how responsible citizens can rise to meet this ultimate challenge to our future.

Title: She Who Shows the Way: Heaven's Messages for Our Turbulent Times

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:22:51

Language: English

Release date: 03-21-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

Our Mother Knows when we most need Her, and we need Her Now. We are living in the end times, not the end of the world, but the end of an age. Those who wish to remain faithful to the Gospel are seeking heaven's guidance in order to weather and safely navigate the unparalleled storms ahead.

'This book should be widely disseminated, all for God's glory and in honor of the Mother of God, for all of us and the holiness of Christ's disciples.'

-Ramon C. Argüelles, STL, Archbishop-Emeritus of Lipa

In this extraordinary and anointed book of messages from Mother Mary and occasionally from Jesus, through inner-locutions to one of her most unlikely children, she has responded.

MESSAGE FROM MARY on August 4, 1993:

'A great turning point in the fate of your nation and its faith in God will soon be upon you, and I ask you all to pray and offer your sufferings for this cause. . .'

MESSAGE FROM MARY on January 24, 1996:

'. . . I love you all, and I pray that you will remain strong in the face of those forces that wish to destroy all that is beautiful, all that is glorious. Remain steadfast, my children, and know that the victory will soon be here. Good-bye.'

FULL SAMPLE MESSAGE FROM MARY on January 27, 1993:

My dear children, today I come to you as the Mother of Consolation. I open my arms for you, to gather you in, console you, to share my Motherly love for you, and to share with you a great truth. Find shelter in my Immaculate Heart this day, and let me comfort you. I tell you, your prayers and voices, in sweet harmony from the heart, resonate at this moment in heaven still, and bring the angels to rejoice.

My children, man makes a great mistake. He conceives of God as a distant Creator, like a man who spins a top and walks away to watch it fall. I assure you, no act, no breath of wind, no tear, none of these exist without the assent of the Father. He is active in you. He is active around you. He never leaves you. How is it that men manifest their great error in their daily lives? They do this by the way they bear their burdens, their cross, without sharing it with my Son, Jesus, Who offered this. There is no consolation, my children, in your life's burdens without my Son, for indeed all these burdens are His. He carries them always, and He implores you to join with Him. That is why He said, 'Pick up your cross and follow Me.' That is why He also said, 'My burden is very light.'

Many of my Son's loved ones through the ages, beautiful children of God, have always amazed the world with their ability to bear any burden, suffer any pain, with immense joy. This is proof of the fulfillment of my Son's words, as a test for you, children-a visible test for you to apply to any sorrow, to any pain, to any burden-for if you are truly united with my Son in the bearing of this burden, you will find it delightful and a joy, because you will have true knowledge of the benefits and the rewards awaiting you in your heavenly glory.

So when you feel yourselves in despair, and the pain at times feels to be unbearable, remember my Son's words, my children. Remember my words to you this day, because only there will you find solace, only there will you find the help you need. I know many of you find this hard to understand. You feel it has not worked for you. I promise you these graces will flow.

Title: Reasons and Persons

Author: Derek Parfit

Narrator: Peter Batchelor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 29:18:45

Language: English

Release date: 03-08-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:

Challenging, with several powerful arguments, some of our deepest beliefs about rationality, morality, and personal identity, Parfit claims that we have a false view about our own nature. It is often rational to act against our own best interests, he argues, and most of us have moral views that are self-defeating. We often act wrongly, although we know there will be no one with serious grounds for complaint, and when we consider future generations it is very hard to avoid conclusions that most of us will find very disturbing.

Title: Sociological Imagination

Author: C. Wright Mills

Narrator: Adriel Brandt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:17:54

Language: English

Release date: 02-19-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science, Philosophy

Summary:

C. Wright Mills is best remembered for his highly acclaimed work The Sociological Imagination, in which he set forth his views on how social science should be pursued. Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.

Title: Cambridge History of Warfare

Author: Geoffrey Parker

Narrator: Andrew Cullum

Format: Unabridged

Length: 21:29:50

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

The new edition of The Cambridge History of Warfare, written and updated by a team of eight distinguished military historians, examines how war was waged by Western powers across a sweeping timeframe beginning with classical Greece and Rome, moving through the Middle Ages and the early modern period, down to the wars of the twenty-first century in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. The book stresses five essential aspects of the Western way of war: a combination of technology, discipline, and an aggressive military tradition with an extraordinary capacity to respond rapidly to challenges and to use capital rather than manpower to win. Although the focus remains on the West, and on the role of violence in its rise, each chapter also examines the military effectiveness of its adversaries and the regions in which the West's military edge has been - and continues to be - challenged.

Title: Shame Interrupted: How God Lifts the Pain of Worthlessness and Rejection

Author: Edward T. Welch

Narrator: Robert Christesen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:26:01

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Summary:

Shame controls far too many of us. Worthless, inferior, rejected, weak, humiliated, failure...it all adds up to wishing we could get away from others and hide. We know what shame feels like. The way out, however, is harder to find. Time doesn't help, neither does confession, because shame is just as often from what others do to you as it is from what you have done. But the Bible is about shame from start to finish, and, if we are willing, God's beautiful words break through.

Look at Jesus through the lens of shame and see how the marginalized and worthless are his favorites and become his people. God cares for the shamed. Through Jesus you are covered, adopted, cleansed, and healed.

Shame Interrupted is a perfect book if you are feeling left out or marginalised because it will help you understand that all Christians are loved by God. You'll learn that through faith there is nothing to be ashamed about and you should celebrate your differences.
