Flying Fox is a unique work in aviation literature combining the
translation of a German pilot's classic autobiographical novel of
flying in the First World War with a historical investigation that
both illuminates and expands upon the original narrative. In 1933
the Koehler Verlag in Leipzig published Wir Flieger (We Flyers), by
Otto Fuchs, who flew and fought in artillery observation and
fighter squadrons in the Imperial German air service. The author
presented the work as the recollections of an unknown pilot,
changing names, unit designations, and airfield locations in order
to protect the identities of the persons involved and to thwart
inquiry. Adam Wait has not only provided a thoroughly annotated
translation of Wir Flieger which retains the vividness of the
author's original prose, but has also conducted meticulous research
to uncover the true facts behind the story. His findings are
related in a chapter-by-chapter commentary, supplemented by an
epilogue continuing the story from the point in time at which the
novel concludes to the end of the war. A further addition is a
previously unpublished chapter of Wir Flieger excised by Koehler,
as it did not conform to the heroic ideal of the time. Flying Fox
is profusely illustrated with period and present-day photographs
and maps that further bring this fascinating tale to life.
This open access book captures and elaborates on the skill of
storytelling as one of the distinct leadership features of Xi
Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and
the President of the People's Republic of China. It gathers the
stories included in Xi's speeches on various occasions, where they
conveyed the essence of China's history and culture, its reform and
development, and the principles of China's participating in global
governance and cooperating with other countries to build a
community of common destiny. The respective stories not only convey
abstract and profound concepts of governance in comparatively
straightforward language, but also create an immediate emotional
connection between the narrator and the listener. In addition to
the original stories, extensive additional materials are provided
to convey the original context in which each was told, including
when and to whom Xi told it, helping readers attain a deeper,
intuitive understanding of their relevance.

The Quran is guidance from God, for those who realize what it is
(2:2), and for those who believe in the unknown, establish prayer,
and who give from what God has given them (2:3), and who believe
that it was revealed to Muhammad the Prophet, but who believe that
scripture was also revealed before Muhammad the Prophet, as well as
believe in the hereafter. When these people read the Quran they
learn wisdom (12:2) and truth from God (13:1). It leads them out of
darkness into the light (14:1), it helps them to see things clearly
(15:1), it offers advice from God (17:41), and there are other
benefits always being discovered (18:54). Reading it is worship for
them (21:106). It also teaches them to think (38:29), it gives them
understanding, and it shows them God's miracles. It is confirmation
(5:48) and further explanation (10:37) of previous scripture. There
is no better time for them to read it than at night (73:6), and
there is no better way for them to read it than in a slow,
measured, melodious voice (Sura 73:4).

growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
