In BingamanÕs stellar memoir, his boyish obsession with flight blossoms into a grueling but rewarding career in the U.S. military, leading him into the uncertainties of war. Bingaman returns to his Iowa roots in this collection of anecdotes, reminiscences and close calls among fighter pilots and their peers. Recounting first his time in England as an American airman in a NATO squadron, the narrative covers his time in Oregon, the Midwest and Vietnam, detailing the operationsÑparticularly the idiosyncrasies and frustrationsÑof military programs and the officers that oversaw them. Well-paced and written in economical prose, BingamanÕs retelling of his past is at once richly personal and broadly historical, sacrificing neither breadth nor depth to convey specific bits of information as well as the zeitgeist of the time. A sensitive, astute contribution to the history of the armed forces. ÑKirkus Review

TO THE PINNACLE: A Memoir of a Life in ProgressBiographical Information: Eve still resides in Oskaloosa, Iowa.Her first book, MY HUSBAND, MY CHILD, concerns her husband'sdescent into dementia and, of course, her reactions to thatdescent.Dedication: To all those people in Rock Shadows, Apache Junction, Arizona, who looked after Hal so that I had time to write thesechapters of my life. Also, to the Overseas Schools HistoricalSociety in Wichita, Kansas, and all teachers everywhere.With Special Thanks To: Reye Goedeken and Kim Dixon, who rescuedthis technological dinosaur by preparing the manuscript for thepublisher.Possibilities for the back of the book: A few years ago, I heard something on public radio which I tried to write down. By the time I stopped the car, the exact wording was gone, but it went something like this: "There is an ecstacy at the epitome of life, which we can never achieve again and beyond which life can never reach again."Standing at the top of Rheingrafenstein, after a hard buttriumphant climb, during what were probably my best teaching years, with helpful Hal by my side, I often felt that I hadreached some sort of pinnacle.That pinnacle is not the top of Mt. Everest or the peak ofa glorious career. It doesn't have to be monumental to be highfor a Depression gal who started at the bottom. Everything fromthe bottom is up. Perhaps one doesn't have to be a famous film star or a former First Lady to have the temerity to write an account ofone's life in a Memoir. For years I have been profoundly influ-enced by a line from John Ciardi's poem called "The Gift": "ThatHell is the denial of the ordinary."Thanks for sharing.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Julie Yip-Williams conquered blindness and adversity only to be struck down. Her book is heartbreaking and necessary.' Guardian 'Eloquent, gutting and at times disarmingly funny ... a magnificent writer.' New York Times Born blind in Vietnam, Julie Yip-Williams narrowly escaped euthanasia at the hands of her grandmother, only to have to flee the political upheaval of the late 1970s with her family. Loaded into a rickety boat with three hundred other refugees, Julie made it to Hong Kong and, ultimately, America, where a surgeon gave her partial sight. Against all odds, she became a Harvard-educated lawyer, with a husband, a family, a life. Then, at the age of thirty-seven, with two little girls still at home, Julie was diagnosed with terminal metastatic colon cancer, and a different journey began. Growing out of a blog Julie kept for the last four years of her life, The Unwinding of the Miracle is the story of a vigorous life told through the prism of imminent death, of a life lived vividly and cut too short. With glorious humour, bracing honesty and the cleansing power of well-deployed anger, her story is inspiring and instructive, delightful and shattering. More than just a tale about cancer, it's about truth and honesty, fear and pain, our dreams, our jealousies. And it's about how to say goodbye to your children and a life you love. Starting as a need to understand the disease, it has evolved into a powerful story about living - even as Julie put her affairs in order and prepared to die. 'A searing memoir ... I didn't know Julie, but in these pages I grew to love her.' Lucy Kalanithi

Admiral Charles William was a British admiral and Member of Parliament. He was a well-known and popular figure, widely known to the British public as "Charlie B". During his life, he combined two careers: one in the navy and another in parliament. He had a reputation as a hero in battle and champion of the navy in the House of Commons. This book describes the main events of his life from 1859, the year he entered the Royal Navy, to 1909, when he came on shore.
