Описание: "Able Mabel", the Martin AM-1/1Q Mauler, was the product of a 1943 Navy contract for two prototype bomber torpedo (BT) planes. Two other contractors, Curtiss and Fleetwings also received prototype contracts. In 1944 after the testing of these prototypes and a new entry the Douglas Skyraider, the Navy placed production orders for the Martin Mauler and the Douglas Skyraider. Even though the Skyraider proved more suitable for carrier operations, 139 AM-1s and 18 AM-1Qs were produced and served with five attack squadrons and one composite squadron before being relegated to the reserves. With its huge R-4360-4W 28-cylinder 3,000 BHP engine, the Mauler performed like a fighter and had the power to out lift any other single engine aircraft in the world at the time. In addition to its heavy-lift capabilities (10,648 lbs. of fuel, 4-20mm guns with ammo, 3 torpedos and 12-250 lb. bombs) the unique finger-type dive brakes on the AM-1 gave it extremely accurate and rock-steady dive-bombing performance deemed best in the world by navy test pilots. It's awesome performance made it a challenge at times particularly around the boat and earned it the enduring nickname of "Awful Monster".

What if the walls of your family home could talk? When Caroline Freeman and her siblings travel to their family home after the death of their beloved mother, they are faced with the decision of what to do with the 200-year old home they have inherited - a house that has been in the family for five generations. The siblings, who live thousands of miles apart, must decide whether to sell the antique home, and with it their heritage, or keep the house and struggle with the financial responsibilities of holding onto it. As Caroline grapples with her own mixed feelings, she must balance the concerns of her practical older brother, Alden, her opinionated younger brother, Thomas, her emotional baby sister, Anna, and the wishes of their dead mother, Marie. But before Caroline can reconcile her conflicted feelings, she must learn the stories of the house and the family that has called it Home. Caroline embarks on a personal journey as she explores the old home. As the walls of the antique home whisper the stories of the past, stunning secrets are revealed that reshape Caroline's feelings about her ancestors and cause her to reevaluate her relationships with her siblings, specifically her sister, Anna. Just as the siblings face truths that make their decision inevitable, a long-kept secret is revealed that threatens to take the decision of what to do with their inheritance out of their hands altogether - a secret that even the old Home doesn't know about.Author, Kirsten Hunt Kowalski, tells the story of five generations of a family that has called one house "Home" for over 100 years and explores the emotional struggle of those left to decide its fate. Told, in part, from the perspective of the house - the only member of the family that has been there from the beginning - this is a story of love, loss, pain, joy, betrayal, and forgiveness. It is the story of Family. It is the story of finding your true Home - no matter where you live.
The book studies how multiple representations of the Other are constructed, Europeanized and used in Poland and Sweden in various heritage related contexts (museums, cities, war cemeteries, commemoration sites etc.) in the second decade of the 21st century. In a more general sense, the authors raise the question of how otherness (in terms of culture, ethnicity, class, gender, etc.) is constructed and leads to its social inclusion, domestication, marginalization or – increasingly common in Scandinavian and Central European peripheries – exclusion.

Описание: The designation of Nieuport is linked with the origins of aviation. douard de Ni port (August 24, 1879-September 16, 1911) - a pilot and designer - was one of the aviation pioneers. In 1909 he established the Soci t d'A rolocomotion aircraft factory in Suresnes, manufacturing airplanes of his design. He was one of the few designers who preferred the monoplane layout with the smallest possible number of drag-increasing items. The first construction, the Nieuport I, did not distinguish itself in performance, but it was a kind of laboratory which enabled the designer to develop his new brainchild, the Niueport II of 1910, into a machine singled out for its novel technical solutions: the fabric-covered fuselage with the pilot's seat so arranged that only his head would protrude above the fuselage, or the landing gear with the wheels attached to a skid through a steel suspension spring.

Описание: Mariah Talbot seems to lead a charmed life. Successful and talented, she is an interior designer in Boston`s Back Bay neighborhood and, by all accounts, is fulfilling her dreams. But appearances can be deceiving. Few people know the truth about her tragic past and why she guards her heart so fiercely, or the fact she is still very much in love with a ghost. Andrew Madden is a partner in one of Boston`s elite law firms. Bracing himself for a confrontation on his commute to work one morning, the last thing he expects is to be captivated by the woman who emerges from her car. Mariah is unlike any woman he has ever met, and their attraction is instant. But as he soon discovers, there is much more to her than meets the eye. He clings to the hope that with time, she will come to trust him completely. But time is precious and fleeting. Neither of them could have predicted the bizarre twist of fate that alters the course of their lives forever. Only when Andrew embarks on his own journey, unraveling the haunting secrets of Mariah`s past, does he finally come to understand that love never dies...and neither does the soul.

Описание: The volume takes a close look at discourse perspectives on academic genres. In the context of scientific communication and the evolution of postmodern culture and society, academic genres have undergone various changes. The study shows that cultural heterogeneity of academic genres, styles and discourses now gives way to an increasing hybridization and discusses theoretical aspects of this process. The second part focuses on specific dimensions of hybridization, in particular between global and local academic genres and discourses, and between real and virtual ones.
