The Captain's airline career is the story of the remarkable period in the 20th century we call "The Jet Age", one filled with adventure, tragedy, humor, good fortune and bad passengers. We learn of the adventures of Apple Core Annie, whose nickname "Hardcore" reveals much. There is the food fight at 35,000 feet, as 40 summer camp bound youths nearly destroy a Boeing 727, and the Christmas Eve riot as 200 New York bound passengers "duke it out" over no smoking seats. Never to be forgotten are the tragic events where close friends are killed in senseless training accidents and innocent passengers lives are lost in sometimes-inexplicable circumstances. Bankruptcies, deregulation, hijackings and famous people are all part of the memories of the veteran captain whose career spanned the era when the jet plane became mass transportation.--From cover

Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil -- what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it all is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia. For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. This edition presents all seven books -- unabridged -- in one impressive volume. The books are presented here according to Lewis' preferred order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published.
