Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a German carpenter, stood trial alone for the tragic kidnapping and death of the world's most celebrated baby, the heir to Charles Lindbergh's aviation glory. The body of Charles, Jr. was cremated and his ashes were scattered from an urn by his father flying alone a second time over the Atlantic. Yet despite the retelling of police errors and the ensuing murder trial led by a defense attorney that was suffering from incurable syphilis, the court case seems to bring no finality. As retold here through the eyes of one of America's wealthiest socialites, Evelyn McLean, the story of the violent crime and its punishment captures the suspenseful events with immediacy and intrigue. A single muddy footprint that seems to fit no one's shoe. A baby's bedroom wiped clean of any fingerprint, including those of the nursemaid and the parents. A broken ladder allegedly fashioned by a master German carpenter. The chief negotiator with the kidnappers selected from a random want-ad. When a reward is offered for the child's return, thirteen ransom notes culminate in an eventual exchange of envelopes in a cemetery. When Hauptmann receives the death penalty, it was Evelyn McLean who owned the world's most famous gem, the Hope Diamond, yet she found little hope herself as an observer of human frailties. Charles Lindbergh, the Lone Eagle, wrote of the future he foresaw: "Our short-term survival may depend on our knowledge and performance. But our long-term survival depends, alone, on the character of man." The soaring trajectory of both the luckiest and unluckiest of flying aces reveals fresh insight into the trial of the century.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. On April 28, 1986, the explosion of Reactor Number Four dwarfed the bombs dropped a quarter century earlier at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Chernobyl's shadow looms larger than those nuclear events that ended humanity's bloodiest war. When the thinnest of Chernobyl's nuclear reactor casings cracked, it pumped into the atmosphere thirty to forty times more radiation than both bombs put together. That hot spray continued burning unabated for three days, creating a radiating cloud which eventually circled the globe. The Swedish saw it first, then the wind reversed and easterly winds shrouded most of the northern hemisphere. The lifetime of that radiation is gauged not in days but in epochs. Its legacy will carry forward half-lives demarked in tens of thousands of years. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. When the darkest imaginable shadow fell on the free world, it took a little girl to stand up and light the torch. A sixteen-year-old girl, Betty Robinson, is perpetually late. She is late for school and late for the Chicago-bound train that would take her out of her small town of Riverdale, Illinois early one morning in 1927. The townspeople knew she might still catch the train, because in a time when girls played with dolls, this wiry-framed girl was different. She could run. Riding on the same train was Charles Price, a man who habitually checks his pocket watch. He's going to Chicago as the track and field coach who must pick the 1928 US Olympic team for the Amsterdam games. Price has never seen a girl run fast enough to catch a departing train. He doesn't believe that his watch is working because this tiny girl just chased a train to set the 100-meter world record. The true story of Betty Robinson's life and her sprint from a small Illinois town to the capitals of Europe takes her through three Olympic games. Her first in Amsterdam makes her the fastest woman on earth. The second-- in 1932 Los Angeles--she is forced to watch despondently while convalescing in a nursing home. A tragic and near-fatal airplane crash has left her a virtual cripple, one who is lucky to be alive. With the help of her coach, Betty rekindles her Olympic spirit just in time for the 1936 Berlin games, when the German sprinters and their leader, Adolf Hitler, plan to demonstrate for the first time what national dominance in sports might mean for the rest of the world.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The first mission to the Moon after the disastrous events of Apollo 13. The return to spaceflight for the first American in space. A career-ending bout with a pilot's worst nightmare, uncontrollable dizzy spells. An unsanctioned science experiment to test if human extrasensory perception could reach to the Moon and back. An often rehearsed space docking that succeeded every time except when it mattered the most. When the astronauts blinked their eyes, floating lights accompanied them as silent escorts. An often rehearsed lunar landing seemed impossible if radar could not tell them what craters and boulders they were blind to below them. A failure was inconceivable if Apollo was ever to return to the Moon. And when failure came, the answer was mutiny. This item is printed on demand.
