Chasing the Wind by C.C. Humphreys Pdf

Smuggler. Smoker. Aviatrix. Thief. The dynamic Roxy Loewen is all these things and more, in this riveting and gorgeous historical fiction novel for readers of Paula McLain, Roberta Rich, Kate Morton and Jacqueline Winspear. You should never fall in love with a flyer. You should only fall in love with flight. That's what Roxy Loewen always thought, until she falls for fellow pilot Jocco Zomack as they run guns into Ethiopia. Jocco may be a godless commie, but his father is a leading art dealer and he's found the original of Bruegel's famous painting, the Fall of Icarus. The trouble is, it's in Spain, a country slipping fast into civil war. The money's better than good—if Roxy can just get the painting to Berlin and back out again before Reichsmarshall Hermann Göring and his Nazi pals get their hands on it . . . But this is 1936, and Hitler's Olympics are in full swing. Not only that, but Göring has teamed up with Roxy's greatest enemy: Sydney Munroe, an American billionaire responsible for the death of her beloved dad seven years before. When the Nazis steal the painting, Roxy and Jocco decide that they are just going to have to steal it back. What happens when Icarus flies too close to the sun? Roxy is going to find out. From African skies to a cellar in Madrid, from the shadow cast by the swastika to the world above the clouds on the Hindenburg's last voyage, in the end Roxy will have just two choices left—but only one bullet.

Chasing the Wind by Steve Fossett Pdf

As a world record holder in ballooning, speed sailing, and aviation, Steve Fossett was the pinnacle of extreme sporting achievements. His adventurous spirit continually inspired his fellow competitors and sports aficionados, and attracted the curiosity of the world. In 2005, Fossett made the first solo, non-stop, non-refueled circumnavigation of the world at the helm of what has been described as "a fuel tank with room for one"--the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer. But what made someone like Steve give up a secure, well-paid job in the financial sector for the romantic, yet increasingly dangerous, world of the adventurer? He achieved the first balloon crossings of Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America; the first ocean crossings of the South Atlantic, South Pacific, and Indian Oceans; and the first solo balloon flight round the world--a milestone in aviation history. And he didn't just take on the air. The most-successful speed sailor in the history of sailing, he also completed premier endurance sports events, including the Iditarod and Ironman Triathlon. In this dynamic autobiography, Steve Fossett shared his inspirational stories and candidly recounted the milestones, challenges, and victories that made up his much-heralded career and paved the path to his numerous world records.

Chasing Kindness Against the Wind by Sibel Terhaar Pdf

I've always dreamt of a world full of peace and love, with the desire to share that hope and speak it to the world. It started with a few words from a kind soul to unleash this hidden desire that desperately wanted to spread amongst the world. Love, kindness, and hope are meant to be shared, not hidden. They rebel when confined and torture the soul when their spark is not allowed to start a fire and spread a healing flame amongst broken hearts. Never underestimate the power of words. Have the courage to share a kind thought and always seek to catch that spark and share it with the world.

Chasing the Wind by Noga Morag-Levine Pdf

The Federal Clean Air Act of 1970 is widely seen as a revolutionary legal response to the failures of the earlier common law regime, which had governed air pollution in the United States for more than a century. Noga Morag-Levine challenges this view, highlighting striking continuities between the assumptions governing current air pollution regulation in the United States and the principles that had guided the earlier nuisance regime. Most importantly, this continuity is evident in the centrality of risk-based standards within contemporary American air pollution regulatory policy. Under the European approach, by contrast, the feasibility-based technology standard is the regulatory instrument of choice. Through historical analysis of the evolution of Anglo-American air pollution law and contemporary case studies of localized pollution disputes, Chasing the Wind argues for an overhaul in U.S. air pollution policy. This reform, following the European model, would forgo the unrealizable promise of complete, perfectly tailored protection--a hallmark of both nuisance law and the Clean Air Act--in favor of incremental, across-the-board pollution reductions. The author argues that prevailing critiques of technology standards as inefficient and undemocratic instruments of "command and control" fit with a longstanding pattern of American suspicion of civil law modeled interventions. This distrust, she concludes, has impeded the development of environmental regulation that would be less adversarial in process and more equitable in outcome.

Chasing after Wind by Douglas J. Brouwer Pdf

One pastor’s journey from idealism, through disillusionment, to an acceptance of grace After forty years as a Presbyterian pastor, Douglas Brouwer wondered if he had spent his life, as the author of Ecclesiastes laments, “chasing after wind.” What did all the hard work on evenings and weekends and holidays, away from his family, amount to? What was there to make of the long string of petty conflicts and the overwhelming feeling of disillusionment? And in the current age of shrinking mainline churches, what could he point to as the end result of his decades in ministry? Chasing after Wind will resonate with pastors everywhere who went into ministry to do lifechanging work for God and ended up spending most of their time managing the parking situation outside the church, fielding parishioner complaints about the color of the sanctuary carpet (or, in Brouwer’s case, the color of his shoes), and endlessly fundraising for mission projects and building maintenance. In telling his story, Brouwer comes to recognize that the most meaningful parts of his career—the “holy bits,” as he calls them—were in unexpected moments where everything was stripped away but the mysterious work of God. Recounting these times of curious joy and shared mourning, he demonstrates how a pastor can find grace and peace in looking back on a life in ministry.

Chasing the Wind by Robert White Pdf

In the 1970s, the rock group Kansas sang about how life is "dust in the wind." They could have been quoting the writer of Ecclesiastes whose ancient book of wisdom unwraps three key themes: Meaningless, meaningless a look at the futility of wisdom, wishes and work. Chasing the wind how desire and deeds are found wanting. Under the sun the curses and joys of toil, treasure and termination. Despite the Teachers' pessimistic tone, in Chasing the Wind author Robert White discovers there's hope at the end of the matter.

A Chasing of the Wind by Anthony W. Kalberg Pdf

Deep in the heart of the Mississippi Gulf Coast just before World War II, a brutal double murder turns the seaside and otherwise peaceful town of Port Haven upside down. But for some who run in certain circles-the political class, the cultural elites-the deaths of wealthy Sebastian DePellepoix and young roughneck Johnnie Necaise aren't such a big surprise. Taking place over a span of twenty years, A Chasing of the Wind is seen through the eyes of Cooper Austin Barnes, the enigmatic sheriff who went to the original murder scene in 1938 with his grandfather, who was Port Haven's sheriff at the time. Sworn into office after returning from World War II (where he spent most of the war years in a German prisoner-of-war camp), Cooper does his best to hold his beloved hometown together through triumph and tragedy (including a Katrina-like hurricane) while slowly gathering clues and evidence that might finally solve the murders. Filled with vivid portraits of the high-society set as well as a likable Andy Griffith sort who won't rest until he's given every last drop of energy to his family, friends, and the place he calls home, A Chasing of the Wind is a bittersweet, suspenseful tale of greed, lust, honor, loyalty...and secrets. Our first look at the mesmerizing work of Mississippi novelist Anthony W. Kalberg, A Chasing of the Wind will only add to the state's sterling literary reputation.
