Books with author Elleston Trevor

[This is the Audiobook CASSETTE Library Edition in vinyl case.] *Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award* They are twelve men who shouldn't be alive. They have survived the sudden blinding sandstorm that crippled their air freighter. Survived a desperate crash landing in the Sahara of Central Libya. Survived to face the slow, dry, agonizing death of the desert. Twelve men with one hope: to build a new plane from the wreckage of their Skytruck and make a flight out of hell. Only one man could build such a plane: Stringer, the brilliant and obsessed engineer. Only one man could fly it: Towns, the arrogant and tormented pilot. Both had been aboard the Skytruck, but both are mortal enemies whose consuming hatred for each other is a danger greater than the desert itself. [This All-Time Classic Thriller was twice made into a major motion picture in 1965 & in 2004]

A cargo plane crash lands in the Central Libyan desert during a violent sandstorm. Twelve men and a monkey survive. They stare without hope into the desert sky: search planes will not seek their unscheduled flight. One man proposes the impossible--to build from the wreckage an aircraft capable of flying them 200 miles to the nearest oasis. But the pilot refuses to cooperate and this struggle becomes the pivot for survival or death. THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX launched Elleston Trevor's remarkable career. Trevor writes not only under his own name but also as Adam Hall, creator of the award-winning Quiller stories.

The prime purpose of the ATLAS OF ANATOMY is to remedy this absurd and quite unnecessary ignorance that most of us have about what makes us tick. Such a book is not just a desirable reference work but an absolutely essential feature of the home of every responsible person who seeks to get the most out of life for themselves and their children. And its publication at this time, when people are taking an increasing interest in personal management of their health affairs and coming to see the importance of the doctor-patient relationship being a partnership in which the best results develop when the patient is well informed, is particularly fortunate. But the ATLAS OF ANATOMY is not only of value as a family reference book--it can also be used for school and study purposes. And it is concerned not only with anatomy, but also with the functioning of the various parts of the human body as well as their structure: the whole realm of physiology. It is complete and comprehensive in its coverage; and there has been no talking down or oversimplification. The full facts are here, and many of the technical terms, just as doctors and nurses themselves learn and use them.
