Описание: Like Henry Ford and the Wright brothers, John Philip Holland was completely self-taught, a brilliant man raised in humble circumstances, earning his living as a schoolteacher and choirmaster. But all the while he was obsessed with creating a machine that could successfully cruise beneath the waves. His struggle to unlock the mystery behind controlled undersea navigation would take three decades, during which he endured skepticism, disappointment, and betrayal. But his indestructible belief in himself and his ideas led him to finally succeed where so many others had failed.
Going Deep is a vivid chronicle of the fierce battles not only under the water, but also in the back rooms of Wall Street and the committee rooms of Congress. A rousing adventure--surrounded by an atmosphere of corruption and greed--at its heart this a story of bravery, passion, and the unbreakable determination to succeed against long odds.

Описание: In October 2008, Donna was attacked by a pit bull and nearly died. Understandably, the attack left her extremely fearful of dogs, but that changed in August 2009. That is when she met Susie, the puppy that was found beaten, burned, and left to die in a Greensboro, North Carolina, park. Susie has helped Donna overcome her fear of dogs and has given Donna new inspirations for life. Donna is the Founder and Executive Director of the Susie's Hope(TM) nonprofit organization that educates children and adults about the importance of animal care and safety. Because of Susie, in 2010 North Carolina citizens pushed animal legislation forward by strongly encouraging their legislators to vote for Susie's Law. This law allows judges to sentence people convicted of animal abuse in North Carolina to jail time. This is Susie's story. Susie's Miracle-The Inspiration Behind Susie's Law written by Donna Lawrence and designed by Jennifer Tipton Cappoen is a personal, powerful message of love, hope, and forgiveness. It's about facing fears headon and watching them disappear. And it's about getting a second chance at life and running full speed ahead with it.
