“Thrilling . . . With deep research and suspenseful storytelling, Mr. Randall reminds us that America’s pre-eminence in the aviation industry was never assured and that it took a race of unlikely heroes to bring the dream of world flight to the public imagination.”—Wall Street Journal “David K. Randall has conjured the first air race to circumnavigate the globe in all its death-defying glory, featuring a cast of unlikely heroes who had the right stuff before anyone knew what that was.” — Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of Lost in Shangri-La and 13 Hours “Thrilling reading...an account filled with unexpected layers of intrigue. Recommend Into Unknown Skies to Erik Larson fans.” —Booklist The unbelievable history of the 1924 race to circumnavigate the globe for the first time by air, a nail-biting contest that pitted underdog US pilots against their better-funded European rivals, created technology that changed aviation, and convinced America that its future was in the sky. In the early 1920s, America’s faith in aviation was in shambles. Twenty years after the Wright Brothers’ first flight, most Americans believed airplanes were for delivering the mail or performing daredevil stunts in front of crowds. The dream of commercial air travel remained just that. Even the American military was a skeptic—rather than pay to bring its planes back from Europe following World War I, the War Department chose to burn most of them instead. All that changed with a single race in 1924. It was not just any race, though—it was a race to become the first to circle the globe in an airplane, pitting a team of underdog American pilots against the best aviators in the world from England, Italy, Portugal, France, and Argentina. Rooted in the same daring spirit that pushed early twentieth-century explorers to attempt crossings of the Antarctic ice or locate the source of the Nile, this race was an adventure unlike anything the world had seen before. The obstacles were daunting—from experimental planes, to dangerous landings in uncharted territory, to the simple navigational gauges that could lead pilots hundreds of miles off course. Failure seemed all but guaranteed—the suspense less about who would win than how many would perish for the honor of being the first. Now on the race’s centennial, award-winning author David K. Randall tells the story of this riveting, long-forgotten race. Through larger-than-life characters, treacherous landings, disease, and ultimately triumph, Into Unknown Skies demonstrates how one race returned America to aviation greatness. A story of underdog teammates, bold exploration, and American ingenuity, Into Unknown Skies is an untold adventure tale showing the power of flight to bring the world together.

Giorgio De Chirico And The Real

Giorgio De Chirico And The Real written by Deborah Walker and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with Art categories.

Due to the implacable, enigmatic nature of Giorgio de Chiricos vision, there has been numerous, conflicting interpretations of his painting. This discussion considers the artists integration of Nietzschean philosophy, particularly his perspectivism, the symbolism of Grecian myths and his enigmatic figuration. These ingredients are used as an insight into de Chirico's aesthetic achievements. The artists work is characterized by a consideration of appearance and reality; his seemingly straightforward images suggest a sense of accessibility, yet they are ultimately irreducible to knowing. His haunting images include references to both the Italian Risorgimento and Nietzsches Birth of Tragedy, and these are used in part as an interpretive framework. De Chirico's fascination with the poetic content of Nietzschean themes is particularly relevant in the light of the Apollonian-Dionysian disunity; a work that acts as a touchstone to the understanding of de Chiricos visual mystery.
