Eva Peron remains Argentina's best-known and most iconic personality, far outlasting her own husband, President Juan Domingo Peron, himself a remarkable and charismatic political leader without whom she, as an uneducated woman in an elitist and male-dominated society, could not have existed as a political figure. In this book, Jill Hedges tells the story of a remarkable woman whose glamour, charisma, political influence and controversial nature continue to generate huge amounts interest 60 years after her death. From her poverty-stricken upbringing as an illegitimate child in rural Argentina, Peron made her way to the highest echelons of Argentinean society, via a brief acting career and her relationship with Juan. After their political breakthrough, her charitable work and magnetic personality earned her wide public acclaim and there was national mourning following her death from cancer at the age of just 33.Based on new sources and first-hand interviews, the book will seek to explore the personality and experiences of 'Evita'. As the first substantive biography of Eva Peron in English, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern Argentinean history and the cult of 'Evita'.

Описание: Forced into the underground by an oppressive global government, a brilliant engineer, Slade, has secretly developed the most revolutionary biotechnology mankind has ever known...but when he and his wife are brutally murdered, a vicious liaison of a hellish dimension tears Slade across space and time, damning him to a dark netherworld. Fooled into bartering his scientific knowledge for a second chance at life, Slade is forced to use that technology to survive his resurrection. Now, more a demonic machine than man, Slade must journey through the wilderness of the hell dimension in an unlikely alliance with demons. As he hones his skills to exact his revenge, he learns that the stakes are higher than he ever anticipated - he must prevent apocalypse at the hands of his power-hungry captor from the netherworld, whose traitorous plot supersedes even the evil designs of Hell`s rulers. The ultimate conflict explodes through the fabric of both dimensions. As man and demon spill blood and evil closes in from every quarter, can Slade learn to use his newfound strength, and hatred, to destroy his nemesis? In the midst of fighting for his life in the wilds of an alien dimension, Slade experiences revelations that throw into question everything that he thought he knew, thought he believed...thought he was. With his entire reality thrown into upheaval and the countdown to apocalypse looming, can Slade regain control of his shattered mind and altered body in time to find the truth and overcome the forces of destruction?

Melding a pilot's practical view of life in the cockpit with the expertise of an engineering professor to give readers an insider look at plane crashes.
One of the most amazing feats of modern life is the frequency with which airplanes safely take off and land: about 40,000 times a day in the United States alone. Commercial aviation is by far the safest mode of transportation and is becoming safer all the time. But on the exceedingly rare occasion that a plane does crash, comprehensive accident analysis, thorough investigation, and implementation of remedial actions significantly reduces the probability of an already remote event ever recurring.
Plane Crash, an unprecedented collaboration between mechanical engineering professor George Bibel and airline Captain Robert Hedges, shares the riveting stories of both high-profile and lesser-known airplane accidents. Drawing on accident reports, eyewitness accounts, and simple diagrams to explain what went wrong in the plane and in the cockpit, Hedges provides invaluable insight into aviation human factors, while Bibel analyzes mechanical failures. No prior scientific knowledge is needed to understand the principles and procedures this book describes, only an interest in the view from what Captain Hedges describes as the best seat in the house.
Organized around the phases of flight--takeoff, climb, cruise, approach, and landing--this book is a captivating look at some of the most dramatic plane crashes of the modern age, including Asiana Airlines 214, Air France 447, and Malaysia Airlines 370. If you have ever wondered what goes through a pilot's mind as a flight takes a turn for the dangerous, what impact turbulence actually has on flight safety, or even just how the wonders of aeronautics work to keep passengers safe day in and out, Plane Crash will both fascinate and educate.
