I'll Never Forget My First Car
In this hilarious collection of stories, Old Autos columnist Bill Sherk describes in vivid detail the trials and tribulations of those brave souls who, throwing caution to the wind and money down the drain, made the fateful decision that would forever change the course of their lives. They went out and bought their very first cars. And whether it came from the showroom or the scrapyard, your first car was your ticket of admission into the adult world. Gas, oil, repairs, tow trucks, speeding tickets, insurance, and fender benders would take a vacuum cleaner to your bank account, but you didn’t care. You were behind the wheel and on the road.
A Companion to Middle English Hagiography
The saints were the superheroes and the celebrities of medieval England, bridging the gap between heaven and earth, the living and the dead. A vast body of literature evolved during the middle ages to ensure that everyone, from kings to peasants, knew the stories of the lives, deaths and afterlives of the saints. However, despite its popularity and ubiquity, the genre of the Saint's Life has until recently been little studied. This collection introduces the canon of Middle English hagiography; places it in the context of the cults of saints; analyses key themes within hagiographic narrative, including gender, power, violence and history; and, finally, shows how hagiographic themes survived the Reformation. Overall it offers both information for those coming to the genre for the first time, and points forward to new trends in research. Dr SARAH SALIH is a Lecturer in English at the University of East Anglia. Contributors: SAMANTHA RICHES, MARY BETH LONG, CLAIRE M. WATERS, ROBERT MILLS, ANKE BERNAU, KATHERINE J.

His Way: a Biography of Robert Muldoon
His Way is the only authorised biography of New Zealand prime minister Robert Muldoon - one of the dominant political figures of the last half-century in that country. His Way was based on many hours of conversation with Muldoon himself as well as colleagues, friends, and family, and wide access to the prime minister's official and private papers and diaries. Leading political biographer Barry Gustafson shows Muldoon is shown as a champion of the ordinary people whose vision over time became anachronistic and inflexible.
Twixt 6 & 90
It wasn't until an independent reader of this book told me, "Stanley, you're like a real life Forrest Gump except without the mental impairment!" that I decided to title my book, Twixt 6 & 90: Planes, Dames, and Brushes with Fame. It's true that I've enjoyed a number of encounters with people who left indelible marks on history, such as Admiral "Bull" Halsey, George H. W. Bush, and Sam Walton, to name a few. However, I do not consider my life full because of my happenstance brushes with famous or even infamous people; rather, my life has been truly blessed by wonderful people of whom the world has never heard. This is the story of a country boy from a small town in rural Ohio who looked up at an airplane at the age of 6 and just knew he was born to fly. This book chronicles a 90-year journey from the Ohio farmlands to the ends of the earth. It spans the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and the explosion of air travel that followed. It's a story of the hero in Everyman
