Eleanor H. Porter has written a number of well-received novels at the beginning of the 20th century, including Marie-Marie, The Road to Understanding and Just David. Written around 1918, Oh, Money! Money! is a droll and interesting tale that you’ll get hooked on from the very beginning.The novel showcases the brilliant talent for creating ingeniously woven humorous situations that Porter was known for. With rich and complex characters, and well-rounded situations that will just keep you laughing throughout the book, this is definitely one story you won’t want to put down too soon.The tale begins as a millionaire with a knack for brilliant ideas gives some of his money to a couple of relatives that he doesn’t really know anything about. Curious to see how his cousins spend their money, he soon moves in close by, in order to monitor their progress, and see exactly what they do with it. While living incognito does have its challenges, it also serves as a brilliant catalyst for a dynamic, well-designed story that you will hardly be able to keep up with.Many of the points that Porter is trying to make with this book still hold true today. Learning to be a responsible spender is not easy, and we all tend to get caught up in it whenever we gain access to a slightly higher amount of money. However the hilarious way she exemplifies her ideas through, and the complex, extremely real characters are much more entertaining and engaging than probably any other similar novels written on this topic. If you enjoy a good novel written for a few hardy laughs, and most especially if you are already a fan of Eleanor H. Porter’s previous works, you’ll simply love Oh, Money! Money! - a beautiful and intriguing story for the entire family that will take you completely by surprise.

George MacDonald was a Scottish writer, poet, and Christian clergy. He was a forerunning character in the category of fantasy fiction and the mentor of fellow author Lewis Carroll. His works have been quoted as a great literary inspiration by several outstanding writers such as W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L' Engle. C. S. Lewis commented that he considered George MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," stated Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton alluded to The Princess and the Goblin as a story that had "made a difference to my whole existence". Elizabeth Yates scribbled of Sir Gibbie, "It moved me the way books did when, as a child, the great gates of literature began to open and first encounters with noble thoughts and utterances were unspeakably thrilling." Even Mark Twain, who at first detested George, became close with him, and there are a few signs that Mark was encouraged by George. Christian writer Oswald Chambers penned in his Christian Disciplines that "it is a striking indication of the trend and shallowness of the modern reading public that George MacDonald's books have been so neglected". In supplement to his fairy tales, George composed many writings on Christian apologetics such as those that upheld an insight that has been defined as Christian Universalism.

The Wonder Clock Bearskin There was a king travelling through the country, and he and those with him were so far away from home that darkness caught them by the heels, and they had to stop at a stone mill for the night, because there was no other place handy. While they sat at supper they heard a sound in the next room, and it was a baby crying. The miller stood in the corner, back of the stove, with his hat in his hand. "What is that noise?" said the king to him. "Oh! it is nothing but another baby that the good storks have brought into the house to-day," said the miller. Now there was a wise man travelling along with the king, who could read the stars and everything that they told as easily as one can read one's A B C's in a book after one knows them, and the king, for a bit of a jest, would have him find out what the stars had to foretell of the miller's baby. So the wise man went out and took a peep up in the sky, and by and by he came in again. "Well," said the king, "and what did the stars tell you?" "The stars tell me," said the wise man, "that you shall have a daughter, and that the miller's baby, in the room yonder, shall marry her when they are old enough to think of such things." "What!" said the king, "and is a miller's baby to marry the princess that is to come! We will see about that." So the next day he took the miller aside and talked and bargained, and bargained and talked, until the upshot of the matter was that the miller was paid two hundred dollars, and the king rode off with the baby. As soon as he came home to the castle he called his chief forester to him. "Here," says he, "take this baby and do thus and so with it, and when you have killed it bring its heart to me, that I may know that you have really done as y

Written and published by the Flight Standards Service of the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States, the Airplane Flying Handbook is a manual designed to teach new pilots how to fly a plane. The first volume of the book contains chapters 1 to 10 of the complete manual, and focuses mainly on offering an introductory set of lessons about flight training, basic flight maneuvers, ground operations and many crucial details that anyone wishing to learn how to fly an airplane has to know.The book starts out by presenting a basic introduction to flight training, followed by ground operations and basic flight procedures in the first few chapters. The Flying Handbook is extremely thorough when it comes to the basics of flight training, and urges aspiring pilots to gain a firm technical base of basic take-off, flight and landing procedures before taking to the practical aspects of flying.Instead of just offering a one-dimensional approach to flight training, the handbook focuses on many important areas, describing everything from level turns and performing basic in-flight procedures such as descending turns and adjusting all instruments for perfect departure, to S-turns, spins and short field approach procedures for the landing cycle. It even covers nighttime flying and performance maneuvers – topics that are generally not discussed too thoroughly before pilots gain a certain amount of in-flight experience.The book is not only designed to teach beginning pilots how to fly, but also to convey valuable insight on controlling airplanes and accurately identifying and adjusting all the basic airplane systems. Both beginning and seasoned pilots can learn a great deal from the handbook, just as well as those who are simply passionate about the topic or its technical aspects.
