Wingless Flight : The Lifting Body Story (Nasa Sp, 4220) By R. Dale Reed
1997 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 0160493900 | PDF | 14 MB
Most lifting bodies, or "flying bathtubs" as they were called, were so ugly only an engineer could love them, and yet, what an elegant way to keep wings from burning off in supersonic flight between earth and orbit. Working in their spare time (because they couldn't initially get official permission), Dale Reed and his team of engineers demonstrated the potential of the design that led to the Space Shuttle. Wingless Flight takes us behind the scenes with just the right blend of technical information and fascinating detail (the crash of M2-F2 found new life as the opening credit for TV's "The Six Million Dollar Man"). The flying bathtub, itself, is finding new life as the proposed escape-pod for the Space Station.

Why Leaders Lie: The Truth about Lying in International Politics by John J. Mearsheimer
English | January 7, 2011 | ISBN: 0199758735, 0199975450 | True EPUB | 160 pages | 1.8 MB
For more than two decades, John J. Mearsheimer has been regarded as one of the foremost realist thinkers on foreign policy. Clear and incisive as well as a fearlessly honest analyst, his coauthored 2007 New York Times bestseller, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, aroused a firestorm with its unflinching look at the making of America's Middle East policy. Now he takes a look at another controversial but understudied aspect of international relations: lying.

Opis:
Z uwagi na burzliwą historię społeczność Tyrolu Południowego wydaje się mocno podzielona. Młoda, wykształcona w Niemczech kiperka, ambitna Franziska Gasser (Maike Jüttendonk), doskonale jest tego świadoma. Kobieta zakochuje się ze wzajemnością w Marcu Antonellim (Sami Loris), włoskim doktorze, który opiekuje się jej apodyktycznym ojcem, Josefem Gasserem (Harald Krassnitzer). Starszy mężczyzna jest zrzędliwym pacjentem, który zmaga się z wieloma problemami po wypadku samochodowym. Rodziny lekarza i kiperki są jednak silnie skonfliktowane, a zarzewiem tej niechęci są wydarzenia sprzed wielu lat. Franziska uświadamia sobie, że jeśli chce być szczęśliwa, musi odciąć się od przeszłości.
