Описание:
Wrong Brothers Aviation - "By the Seat of my Pants" is a true life adventure story about two brothers with a dream and a passion. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit they launched an aviation career on a shoestring budget. Having to dig under their car seats for change to buy a McDonald's hamburger, their lives changed literally overnight after a feature segment on The Today Show. Customers poured in from every part of the country to buy and get trained in their unusual designed planes.
The Wrong Brothers had numerous hair-raising close calls while flying their unproven aircraft. Keep in mind that these were the beginning days of unregulated and unregistered planes of their kind. It was like the Wild West breaking new ground... but with no sheriff in town. They pushed their abilities to the limit daily. Setting world records, partying, meeting babes, and risking their lives were the only way the brothers knew how to live - "By the Seat of Their Pants."
The press loved the name "Wrong Brothers Aviation" and word played it to the max. They created captivating and original headlines like, "Do Two Wrongs Make a Right?" "The Wrong Brothers Off On the Right Foot " Through exceptional promotional skills, the Wrong Brothers brought ultra-light aircraft to the forefront of aviation.
Sponsored by the Honolulu Advertiser and Good Morning America the Wrong Brothers set a world record over-water flight in planes weighing no more than 35 broiler chickens. The brothers flew over the treacherous channels of the Hawaiian Islands nearly losing their lives to the gusty winds swirling off the mountains. Getting front page headlines and television coverage daily, they became instant celebrities. Revered by the public and showered with leis and kisses from beautiful women, the world was their oyster. The Mayor of Honolulu even rewarded them with a key to the city for their daring feat.
Through national promotions and a strong determination, the Wrong Brothers became a well-known company. But, success can have its own set of problems... growing too big and too fast can be fatal for a small company. The two brothers learned the hard way, watching their company go down in a tailspin. But true spirit can't be stopped. After closing the doors and two years separated, they opened up a sea-based flying operation in the tropical Florida Keys. During the height of the venture, Murphy's Law exposed its ugly face and the Wrong Brothers demolished a plane in the Atlantic Ocean almost losing their lives.
Written by Wesley Friesen the book took eight years to complete. He then incorporated another dimension to the story by added his brothers, "Tim's Notes" throughout the book. The comments add credibility to his version, including the power struggle and the personal conflicts between the two brothers. He also included newspaper articles of some of the events, and readers can visit his website to watch The Today Show, Good morning America, and their "World Record Flight" videos.

Описание: Does God exist? It is possible to postpone dealing with this question and look instead at how the mind forms an image of God and how this image of God affects personal behavior. This book presents a model of the mind, based in cognitive modules which map onto brain regions, that was developed by studying personality. This book starts with the approach that is taken by the emerging field of cognitive science and religion but goes significantly further, analyzing religious doctrine in substantial detail. In addition, this same model of the mind is used to analyze scientific thought, including an extensive discussion of Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions as well as Willard Quine's Web of Belief. This radically interdisciplinary book attempts to be reasonably rigorous while still explaining concepts clearly and simply. The more technical information has been placed in appendices.This 250,000 word volume presents a new integrated model of cognition, which views the human mind as a set of seven interacting modules: Two of these modules function emotionally, two handle knowledge and skills, one is related to the dopamine desire circuit, one controls planning and technical thought, while the final module adjusts the operation of the other six.This book uses the operation and interaction of these seven modules to provide a cognitive explanation for religious concepts such as an image of God, mysticism, conscience, blind faith, worship, monotheism, the trinity, incarnation, atonement, righteousness, a belief in heaven, a belief in hell, holy books, chosenness, fundamentalism, the supernatural, and the Christian 'prayer of salvation'.This same approach is also used to explain scientific concepts such as the basis for science, the paradigm, the paradigm shift, the exemplar, induction, hypothesis, analogy, logic, syllogism, algebraic manipulation, the function, and the physics of music and harmony. In addition, psychological and philosophical concepts are explained such as Piaget's stages of development, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, cognitive styles, Foucault's epistemes, Kant's categorical imperative, Plato's Forms, and Heiddeger's dasein and authenticity.The author has done almost thirty years of research in the area of personality and cognitive science."Lorin Friesen deserves thanks for a volume which is innovative, unique, challenging, highly integrative, and mind-stretching. The serious reader will be greatly rewarded." John H. Redekop Ph.D.Professor EmeritusWilfrid Laurier University

Описание: Offering a unique window into the Old Colony Mennonite community in Saskatchewan, this biography of Herman D.W. Friesen reveals the life of a man who attempted to modernize his community, often in opposition to traditional religious beliefs. The story begins on the Hague-Osler Mennonite reserve in the 1910s and 20s. At this time the government was pressuring Mennonite communities to send their children to province-run schools. This set off a series of migrations, in which Mennonites left for Mexico, Central America, and other parts of Canada. During the watershed decade of the 1960s, Friesen was elected as a minister, and later as the aeltester (Bishop). Despite growing up in an environment filled with intense governmental conflict and considerable suspicion towards "the English outsiders," he did not try to organize another migration out of Saskatchewan. Instead, taking a unique approach to leadership, Friesen tried to navigate a gradual process of accommodation to the changes taking place in the province. Included in the book are Friesens sermons, translated from German, providing a unique glimpse into the Old Colony Mennonite theology that aided him in guiding the church in a strategy of gradual cultural accommodation.
