  Dogfight - The Supermarine...

  Innumerable books have been published on the two most famous fighter aircraft of all time, the Supermarine Spitfire and the Messerschmitt Bf109. But books setting out to tell the story of both aircraft are very much rarer - probably fewer than the fingers of one hand. Yet their joint story is one which bears retelling since both were essential to the air campaigns of World War Two.Incredibly, the men who designed them lacked any experience of designing a modern fighter. R J Mitchell had begun his career working on industrial steam locomotives, Willy Messerschmitt had cut his aeronautical teeth on light and fragile gliders and sporting planes. Yet both men not only managed to devise aircraft which could hold their own in a world where other designs went from state-of-the-art to obsolete in a staggeringly short time, but their fighters remained competitive over six years of front-line combat. Despite the different ways their creators approached their daunting tasks and the obstacles each faced in acceptance by the services for which they were designed, they proved to be so closely matched that neither side gained a decisive advantage in a titanic struggle. Had either of them not matched up to its opponent so well, then the air war would have been a one-sided catastrophe ending in a quick defeat for the Allies or the Axis powers, and the course of twentieth century history would have been changed beyond recognition.

  It may seem odd that Mark Twain delivered a 4th of July speech in London in 1907. Aside from poking fun at the American obsession with fireworks and drunken revelry, however, the brilliant Twain knew just how to tie the topic of American independence with his British audience. He recounts how the Revolutionary War was fought between Brits over a Declaration of Independence written by Brits before the United States officially formed as a nation. “So you see,” he admits in this insightful speech, “what we owe to England in the matter of liberties.”

  In "Leading with Love," Connie Delaney and I, Shelagh Klein, present our heartfelt message, crafted not through AI technology, but from the depths of our heads, hearts, and real-life experiences. This book is a testament to the transformative power of love, written with the conviction that infusing love into our daily conversations can indeed change the world for the better. 
  "Leading with Love" is not just a book; it's a journey into the heart of what it means to connect with one another and our world. It offers hope and a practical roadmap for fostering love and oneness in our lives. Delaney and I share our vision of a world where unity is not just a concept, but a lived reality, recognizing our profound interconnectedness with all beings and the cosmos. 
  We believe that by embodying love in our actions and embracing oneness, we can collectively elevate our consciousness, leading to a more harmonious, sustainable, and loving world. The book is filled with personal stories, practical advice, and inspiring examples, guiding readers through a process of self-discovery and communal awakening. 
  In a time where division and fear are often magnified, "Leading with Love" provides a counter-narrative of hope and unity. It encourages readers to embrace love and oneness in everyday life, challenging them to look beyond differences and act with compassion and empathy. 
  This book is more than a guide; it's an invitation to join a movement of positive change. It reminds us that transforming our world starts with individual acts of love, radiating outwards to reshape the future of our planet and beyond. 
  For those who wish to connect further and explore these concepts in a digital space, you are invited to engage with my digital twin at Conniedelaney.com, where the journey of leading with love continues.

  This memoir of life in the American desert by the author of The Monkey Wrench Gang is a nature writing classic on par with Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.   In Desert Solitaire, Edward Abbey recounts his many escapades, adventures, and epiphanies as an Arches National Park ranger outside Moab, Utah. Brimming with arresting insights, impassioned arguments for wilderness conservation, and a raconteur’s wit, it is one of Abbey’s most critically acclaimed works.   Through stories and philosophical musings, Abbey reflects on the condition of our remaining wilderness, the future of a civilization, and his own internal struggle with morality. As the world continues its rapid development, Abbey’s cry to maintain the natural beauty of the West remains just as relevant today as when this book first appeared in 1968.
