My second female Transformer! Arcee is great in the Transformers: Prime show. I wonder if Hasbro will give her the Voyager Class treatment somewhere down the track.

Wernher von Braun’s rocket team was one of the most influential technological forces in the 20th century. The von Braun team forever changed warfare with its 200-mile-range V-2 missile. Despite the constant allied bombing of Germany during World War II which cut supply lines and forced manufacturing operations underground, the scientists and engineers on von Braun’s team refined and developed their work to the point that, when they arranged their surrender to the Americans at the end of the war, von Braun announced that he had a rocket on the drawing board that could fly from Germany to New York. Little wonder, then, that the rivalry was so keen between the U.S., Russia and Britain to gain their services.

 

After World War II, von Braun’s rocket team created the first long-range ballistic missiles for the U.S. They worked on the Explorer program that resulted in the first American satellite to orbit the Earth. And within a decade they developed and built the huge 363-foot-tall Saturn rocket that sent man to the Moon.

 

The book “The Rocket Team” provides insight into the wartime growth of rocketry and tells how the men were brought to the U.S., and established first at White Sands, NM, and then at Hunstville, AL. Included, too, is a chapter on the development of post-war Soviet rocketry, based on the work of the members of the von Braun team who chose to go East instead of West.

This 1908 whodunit is the author’s first. Rachel is a middle-aged spinster who has had custody of her orphaned niece and nephew since they were children. Halsey and Gertrude are now 20 and 24, respectively, and they talk Rachel into renting a house in the country for the summer. The house they choose belonged to a bank defaulter who had hidden stolen securities in the walls.

 

The first night Rachel is there, there is a mysterious trespasser and something falls down the stairs in the middle of the night. After Halsey and Gertrude arrive on the second night, there is a murder, and Halsey and the friend he’s brought to stay disappear. Halsey returns a few days later, without his friend and without an explanation, but by then other strange goings-on have occurred to the dismay of the residents.

This book collects five of H. G. Wells' short stories: The Crystal Egg, The Star, A Story of the Stone Age, A Story of the Days to Come, and The Man Who Could Work Miracles.

 

A motion picture based on The Man Who Could Work Miracles was produced in 1936. The saying that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" is fairly demonstrated in the last 4 minutes of the film:

This prophetic novel by H. G. Wells deals with the consequences of atomic energy, a term coined by British physicist Ernest Rutherford in 1903 and popularized by Wells. The story concerns the discovery of artificial radioactivity and tells how it revolutionizes transport and industry and finally leads to catastrophe. Wells presents a nightmare vision of the world devastated by nuclear war.

Burnett’s story of a sickly and unloved 10-year-old orphan who finds joy and happiness in her secret garden is a classic of English children’s literature and one of Burnett’s best-known works.

"My idea of a good picture," writes Andy Warhol, "is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous." This is a book of candid photos and profiles of Andy Warhol's friends, which include many icons of the sixties and seventies. They are caught at moments when only Andy Warhol could catch them.

The author has signed the page using his characteristic double signature of Walter Gibson/Maxwell Grant.

 

Walter Gibson was an accomplished magician as well as an author. Under the Street & Smith house name of Maxwell Grant, he created and wrote 282 of the 325 novels about the most famous crimefighter to battle evil-doers in the pages of pulp magazines -- "The Shadow." So in creating his other crimefighting hero, "Norgil, the Magician," Gibson combined his talents as a mystery writer and a leading authority on magic. "Magic and mystery are so closely interwoven," he once wrote, "that it is hard to tell where one leaves off and the other begins."

 

Stories about Norgil first appeared in pulp magazines such as "Crime Busters" and "Mystery Magazine" during the 1930's and 40's. Each story employs a famous stage illusion as a plot device, and Norgil is a solitary representation of several real-life magicians who made those tricks popular. These long-lost stories are collected here for the first time in book form.

From the dust jacket:

 

"The Bowl of Baal" is a period piece; a nostalgic, half-forgotten survival of the year 1916 when it appeared as a long serial in "All Around" magazine.

 

Larry O'Brien ventures into the unknown Arabian desert during the days of World War I. His discoveries are epic; an ancient hidden race, troubled by a conflict between two beautiful priestesses; a barbaric tribe of cave dwellers; and a monstrous saurian survival that represents a threat to all.

 

Robert Ames Bennett's first novel, "Thyra," a thrilling tale of a Viking lost race, was published in 1901. For many years Mr. Bennet was one of the southwest's most prolific authors, turning out historical, adventure, and western fiction.
