Описание: On Tuesday, November 17, 1942, aircraft CNAC No. 60 climbed slowly toward the Himalayas, growing smaller and smaller until it finally faded from sight, never to be seen again-until seventy years later. This is the story of one family’s search for answers about the aircraft and its crew, particularly the co-pilot, James S. Browne. Browne was a pilot for China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC), an airline jointly owned by the Republic of China and Pan American World Airways and flown under contract with the U.S. Army Air Corps. CNAC’s mission was to pioneer and fly the dangerous Hump routes over the Himalayas to deliver gasoline, weapons, ammunition, and war goods. These supplies were desperately needed to keep China in the war, for if China left the war, more than one million Japanese troops would be free to control the Pacific. Browne and his crew were killed in a plane crash while en route to Dinjan Airfield in India for supplies. Rescue missions following their disappearance were unsuccessful. Nearly forty years later, Robert L. Willett picks up where the search left off, hoping to find Browne, his missing cousin. After gathering crash-site information on a trip to China, Willett sends a search team on three ascents up Cang Shan Mountain near Dali, China, and finally strikes metal-the scattered wreckage of Browne’s C-47. From the very beginning of the discovery eight years ago, Willett’s efforts to excavate the site and bring Jimmie Browne home have encountered bureaucratic roadblocks with U.S. government agencies and the Chinese government. His search-and-recover mission continues even today.

Автор: Willett Herbert L. Название: Our Bible: Its Origin, Character, and Value ISBN: 1085875989 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781085875981 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 12590.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: ON the Syrian coast, north of Tyre and Sidon, there was in ancient times a city called Byblos. From this port Phoenician traders carried to the west the Egyptian papyrus, which was used for writing, and from which came our word "paper." The Greeks spoke of the rolls of paper on which their books were written as "biblia," after the name of the place from which the material came. From this custom of antiquity has come our word "Bible," which means literally "books." By habits of speech which were of gradual growth the word represents a particular collection of writings, the sacred literature of the Hebrew and Christian religions. The increasingly recognized supremacy of Christianity among the world's great faiths, and its widening influence among the nations have made the Bible the most conspicuous and impressive of books.The story of its origin and varying experiences through the centuries has profound interest for all intelligent students of its contents. Not without some understanding of the manner in which these documents took form, and the adventures of transmission and translation through which they have passed on their way into our possession, can modern readers of the Bible gain an adequate knowledge of its character and value. This great Book comes to us in many different forms. It is available in several hundred languages, to meet the needs of missionary expansion. In the English tongue it is offered in a score of renderings and editions, all of which have values of their own, and among which it is often difficult to choose. Behind these various versions of the Holy Scriptures there lies a vast amount of consecrated and scholarly labor, -the labor of authors, revisers, editors, copyists, translators, archaeologists, critics, commentators, and other scholars. To the student who wishes to understand the meaning and value of the Bible some competent knowledge of these labors is essential. Upon these elemental inquiries into the origin and history of the Scriptures, the larger questions relating to their inspiration, authority, influence and value naturally rest.It is the purpose of this book to answer some of the most obvious and insistent questions which are sure to arise in the minds of all thoughtful people who deal with the Bible. Alike for those who teach and those who read with awareness these inquiries are inevitable. On themes so vital to faith differences of opinion are unavoidable. The views presented in these chapters are believed to be in harmony with the assured results of reverent and constructive modern scholarship.The literature available on the various phases of biblical study is extensive and rich. Some of the most usable books have been cited in connection with each chapter, under the appropriate chapter headings in the appendix on bibliography. The reader is urged to avail himself of these suggested help as fully as possible

Seven Days in Summer is a sparkling novel about the love that brings family and friends to the same beach house year after year, and the secrets that may drive them apart.
A busy mom of twins, Liv is looking forward to a week at the Beach Hut--even if she feels that something's not right between her and Matt. She's sure he's just too busy at work to join them on their summer holiday, not that he wants time alone.
Baz, her father-in-law, loves having his family stay by the sea; but when an unexpected guest arrives, he finds himself torn between the past and the future.
Still reeling from a breakup, all Sofia wants is a quiet summer--until she meets Baz and her plans are turned upside-down.
And back home, Matt might be missing Liv and the children, but when an old friend appears he finds himself distracted. What does she know about his family's past that she's not letting on?
With this poignant family tale from the master of the ensemble, Marcia Willett's unforgettable characters will win the hearts of all readers.
