London 1945: the heir to the largest tribe of Bechuanaland (later Botswana) arrives in Britain. Seretse Khama, an urbane 24-year-old was welcomed into the elite world of Oxford. But when he fell in love with Englishwoman Ruth Williams, the full force of colonial power was brought to bear to prevent their marriage.

" Well, when it was discovered that the trolls had switched you babies (you in your floating water lily cradle, with the other babe in a nest of down), my friend the kingfisher was to give you each a gift. You see, we never knew that you had been changed in your cradle until it came time for your wings to grow and you to be starting to flutter and the other to be learning to dive. By then we loved you, and the water sprites loved her, and it was beyond changing things back. But your mother wept because you couldn''t fly, and the water sprite mother wept because her babe couldn''t breathe underwater, so the kingfisher tried to make it right.... "

A representative supersonic transport design was tested in the National Transonic Facility (NTF) in its original configuration with small-radius leading-edge flaps and also with modified large-radius inboard leading-edge flaps. Aerodynamic data were obtained over a range of Reynolds numbers at a Mach number of 0.3 and angles of attack up to 16 deg. Increasing the radius of the inboard leading-edge flap delayed nose-up pitching moment to a higher lift coefficient. Deflecting the large-radius leading-edge flap produced an overall decrease in lift coefficient and delayed nose-up pitching moment to even higher angles of attack as compared with the undeflected large- radius leading-edge flap. At angles of attack corresponding to the maximum untrimmed lift-to-drag ratio, lift and drag coefficients decreased while lift-to-drag ratio increased with increasing Reynolds number. At an angle of attack of 13.5 deg., the pitching-moment coefficient was nearly constant with increasing Reynolds number for both the small-radius leading-edge flap and the deflected large-radius leading-edge flap. However, the pitching moment coefficient increased with increasing Reynolds number for the undeflected large-radius leading-edge flap above a chord Reynolds number of about 35 x 10 (exp 6).

Vanished mothers and sisters who live through their mellifluous names--Johanne, Krista. . . .these are the women invoked in Susan Williams'' poetry. To allow them to die would be to betray them, the rich, perverse complexity of their lives which cannot be subdued. --Susan Welch

In the 1920s, when the franchise was extended to put women in Britain on an equal footing with men, it was still to be many years before women held positions of real power in their own right. But other channels of influence had always been open to some - those women of the social and political elite. Because of their class background, wealth and connections, such women were free of many of the restrictions placed on their sex. Indeed, were more powerful in many ways than most men. Ladies of Influence tells the fascinating stories of seven of these women and of their particular impact on Britain between the wars.

Tratto da un''incredibile storia vera Londra, 1947. Seretse Khama è salito al trono del Protettorato britannico del Bechuanaland (il futuro Stato del Botswana) a soli quattro anni, anche se la reggenza del Paese è affidata allo zio Tshekedi. Dopo aver terminato gli studi superiori a Oxford si trasferisce a Londra per svolgere il praticantato come avvocato, e lì conosce Ruth Williams, giovane impiegata londinese. È amore a prima vista e i due giovani decidono di sposarsi, ma la prospettiva del matrimonio misto genera scandalo presso i capi delle tribù del Bechuanaland – all’epoca erano state appena avviate in Sudafrica le politiche dell’apartheid. Comincia così una guerra a colpi di pregiudizi e potere tra le autorità locali, il governo della regina e il piccolo Protettorato britannico del Bechuanaland. Dopo il matrimonio, celebrato contro il volere di tutti, Seretse e sua moglie vengono condannati all’esilio. La tenacia dei due giovani sposi, il loro amore e il desiderio di giustizia renderanno la loro storia un commovente manifesto romantico, uno dei più struggenti della storia dei diritti civili di tutti i tempi. Da questa storia vera è stato tratto il film con la candidata all’Oscar® Rosamund Pike Un amore che ha sfidato tradizione, pregiudizi e potere e ha cambiato la storia. «Una scrittura elegante...

Shades of Grief recounts a unique personal odyssey following an ill-fated airplane flight, in which the author''s husband, the pilot, and three of his closest friends were killed upon take off. Adrift in grief, and without faith in the "eternal hereafter," Susan''s journey led her through various shades of darkness and finally into a light of understanding. Along the way, she listened to the Buddhist monks chant to the deity Quan Yin, stood on historic battle fields, listened in isolation for the binary beat, screamed her heart out while acting on stage, visited psychics and came to wear the garb of the Crone. These were a few of the many experiences she experienced on her pilgrimage through the heart of sorrow. Susan''s journey led her on a path of discovery where she eventually found healing and peace. With a poignant voice and a humorous outlook Susan Williams shares her journey as she attempts to come to grips with one of life''s greatest mysteries.

Author, collector, and historian Alice Morse Earle (1851-1911) was among the most important and prolific writers of her day. Between 1890 and 1904, she produced seventeen books as well as numerous articles, pamphlets, and speeches about the life, manners, customs, and material culture of colonial New England. Earle''s work coincided with a surge of interest in early American history, genealogy, and antique collecting, and more than a century after the publication of her first book, her contributions still resonate with readers interested in the nation''s colonial past. An intensely private woman, Earle lived in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and four children and conducted much of her research either by mail or at the newly established Long Island Historical Society. She began writing on the eve of her fortieth birthday, and the impressive body of scholarship she generated over the next fifteen years stimulated new interest in early American social customs, domestic routines, foodways, clothing, and childrearing patterns. Written in a style calculated to appeal to a wide readership, Earle''s richly illustrated books recorded the intimated details of what she described as colonial "home life." These works reflected her belief that women had played a key historical role, helping to nurture communities by constructing households that both served and shaped their families. It was a vision that spoke eloquently to her contemporaries, who were busily creating exhibitions of early American life in museums, staging historical pageants and other forms of patriotic celebration, and furnishing their own domestic interiors.
