Condición: Very Good. For the US Navy's elite team of SEALs, the mission seemed straightforward enough: take control of a towering, 10,240-foot mountain peak called Takur Ghar, a key post in their plan to smash Taliban al Qaeda in eastern Afghanistan. But the enemy was waiting, and when the Special Forces chopper was shredded by enemy fire, a red-haired SEAL named Neil Roberts was thrown from the aircraft. Roberts' fellow SEALs were determined to bring him out--no matter what the cost. This harrowing true account captures in dramatic detail their seventeen-hour battle, fought against near-impossible odds, to save one of their own. This is a gripping you-are-there account based on stunning eyewitness testimony and painstaking research by journalist Malcolm MacPherson.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. Readers join desperate pilots in the cockpit as they fight gravity and time in a plane that's falling out of the sky. Anyone who watches the news knows about the "black box." Officially called the cockpit voice recorder, the black box (which is actually Day-glo orange) records the final moments of any in-flight accident. Often it provides the only explanation of a crash -- inevitably, it provides a heart-breaking, second-by-second account of intense fear tempered by unyielding professionalism. This 1984 Quill title has been completely updated to include twenty-eight new incidents occurring between 1978 and 1996. Some are famous, like the 1996 Valujet crash in the Everglades and the ill-fated launch of the space shuttle Challenger; other disasters range from commuter prop aircraft to jumbo airliners and a pair of Air Force planes. Few have ever been revealed in their entirety, each, without exception, is absolutely gripping. In this new edition, editor Malcolm MacPherson has, wherever possible, added weather notes and descriptions of events in the cockpit and cabin, heightening our vivid sense of being there during the final moments. Provided by the National Transportation Safety Board and vetted by an experienced airline captain, these are unforgettable case studies in ultimate emergency -- authentic, immediate, filled with drama, terror, human frailty and error, and unquenchable courage. …

Paperback. Condición: Good. A heartwarming true story of a cowboy, a rescued elephant, and the bond they shared In the late 1980s, a baby elephant was born on the plains of southern Africa, only for her herd to face a tragedy. During a cull, her family was slaughtered, and the terrified newborn's life was spared so she could be transported to America to be sold. Enter Bob Norris--a real-life cowboy with an enormous empathy for animals. Raised with a pet bear, Bob achieved his boyhood dream of running a massive horse-and-cattle ranch in Colorado. Handsome as a movie star, he became the iconic Marlboro Man featured on billboards around the world. But despite his success, he felt something missing. That changed when the hurt, vulnerable orphan elephant--named Amy--came into his life. An incredible bond formed between the most unlikely of friends. Bob adopted Amy, and using his skills as a master horseman, he set about helping her heal. Through close observation, gentle training, humor, and endless perseverance, he helped her overcome her fear of the world. Amy became a beloved member of the Norris family and a "hand" on the ranch, tending chores and riding fences alongside Bob on his horse. Yet Bob always knew the ultimate goal was for Amy to regain her independence--and perhaps even return to the savannahs of Africa. The Cowboy and His Elephant is the true story of how Amy and Bob came together: a simple, unforgettable tale of unlikely love and lifelong friendship.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. In Southern Africa a baby elephant watched her family being brutally slaughtered. Terrified and in deep shock, Amy, as she was later to be known, was transported to America to be sold and there she met the man who changed her life forever. Bob Norris is the original 'Marlboro Man', appearing on billboards across America, but he is a cowboy first and foremost, running a ranch in Colorado.

He knew that he must train her and help her recover from her horrific ordeal so he talked to her, listened to her, watched and guided her and was soon rewarded for his patience. Amy became indispensable to Bob and the cowboys who worked for him but more than this she became a friend and a member of the family. This is her story.…
