Among the different Luftwaffe units that formed the Legion Condor, one in particular stands out for its important Naval Air contribution: the Aufklarungsstaffel See/88 (AS./88 or the Maritime Reconnaissance Squadron), although it was also officially designated the Seefliegerstaffel AS./88 or Naval Air Squadron AS./88. AS./88 Squadron employed the following aircraft during the Spanish campaign: Heinkel He 59 bomber, torpedo and reconnaissance seaplanes; He 60 close reconnaissance/bomber seaplanes; He 115 A-0 reconnaissance/torpedo seaplanes; and float-fitted Junkers Ju 52s. Presented here are previously unpublished aspects regarding the operations and war service of both the personnel and aircraft of AS./88, which, during a period of three years, participated directly in the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939 on the Nationalist side.

This stunning book is the long-awaited result of an extensive review of New York painters and their widely diverse works. It presents an overview of styles, mediums, subjects, even philosophies of art found in galleries, museums, and artists' studios of present-day New York, the oft-acknowledged Art Capital of the contemporary world. Although you may recognize the names and works of many, this company of 100 painters also features works by artists less celebrated, though no less deserving of attention. Expect to find recent works, as well as paintings from an earlier period of an artist's oeuvre -- as near as Kelynn Alder's "Coney Island," painted specifically for this book, and as distant as George Tooker's iconic allegory, "Subway," painted in 1950. Brief biographical sketches accompany each artist's work, providing insight into their emotional and philosophical connection with art as well as their schooling and accomplishments. Experience for yourself this visual feast showcasing the unique works of 100 gifted New York painters. This book is a must-have addition for the library of any art connoisseur and/or collector.

Over the years I've had the opportunity to observe many different marriages from a close proximity. In doing so, I've learned that though they all differ in many ways, there are also many similarities. The areas of concerns that I've seen in these different relationships are basically stem from the same kinds of problems. Amos 3 and 3 of the King James Version of the Holy Bible reads can two walk together, except they be agreed? So if two cannot even walk together unless they agree, how can they live together? I hope that when you have finished reading this book, you will be inspired to look deeper into what you are about to enter into, or perhaps what you've already entered. If you are not yet married, you will begin to seek understanding first of yourself and what you expect out of marriage, what you have to offer to the marriage, and finally are you willing to take on a life long compromise with another individual. Secondly, you will begin to seek understanding of the mate that you will vow to spend the rest of your mortal life with. Does he/she share any of the same values and ideas about life as you do? Can you find common ground when there is a disagreement between the two of you? If you are already married, and you have opened the door of reality, you've seen that to have a successful marriage, it's going to take a lot of work. Does your marriage consist of just the two of you, or have you invited Christ to head up your union? Over the years, people have lost the true value of marriage. Marriage was designed by God to be sacred and forever. It should not be entered into lightly nor dismissed so easily. The divorce rate is so high, because mankind has failed to take the sanctity of marriage serious. There is only one acceptable reason for entering marriage, and only that one thing that will seal the marriage and that is LOVE. So seek your answer from the one that knows all, God. Ask him the question, "God, Did You Send This Mate to Me?"

"The Crazy Untamable, Tamable Tongue" takes children on the one-day journey of a young boy who doesn't think before he speaks. The boy narrates the story, telling about the day that his tongue went crazy when his mouth got lazy. It is intended to make children laugh, relate, feel (helplessness, forgiveness, compassion and joy), emphasize, learn, think, and question. The boy goes on to tell about an insightful and merciful friend from church, who comes along to help him regain control of his increasingly untamable tongue. She embraces a teachable moment and makes reference to James 3:1-12 and the book of Proverbs, summarizing some of its contents.
