In History Ahead, Utley and Beeman introduce readers to the famous (Charles Lindbergh, Will Rogers, The Big Bopper and jazz great Charlie Christian) and the not-so-famous (Elmer "Lumpy" Kleb, Don Pedro Jaramillo and Carl Morene, the "music man" of Schulenburg) who have left their marks on the history of Texas. They visit cotton gins, abandoned airfields, forgotten cemeteries, and former world War II alien detention camps to dig up the little-known and unsuspected narratives that have slipped from the knowledge of the general public.

We are an urban nation and have been so, officially at least, since the early twentieth century. But long before then, our cities played crucial roles in the economic and political development of the nation, as magnets for immigrants from here and abroad, and as centers of culture and innovation. They still do. Yet, the discipline that we call "Urban History" is really a phenomenon of post-World War II scholarship. Now, after a generation of pathbreaking scholarship that has reoriented and enlightened our perception of the American city, the two volumes of the Encyclopedia of American Urban History offer both a summary and an interpretation of the field. With contributions from leading academics in their fields, this authoritative resource offers an interdisciplinary approach by covering topics from economics, geography, anthropology, politics, and sociology. Key Features Addresses the rise of urban America using a concise, readable, and historical format Focuses on the 20th century—a century with the most dramatic urban growth and a time when the United States transformed from being a nation of shopkeepers and farmers to an urban industrial, and then post-industrial society Defines "urban" broadly, including suburban environments, and even something new and, literally, far out, called "penurbia" Offers both a referential and a reverential approach to produce a work that functions as a research tool and as a commemoration of scholarship Includes contributions from leading academics and scholars as well as from those who work for non-profits, governments, and corporations The Encyclopedia of American Urban History is a fundamental reference work intended to ground and inspire future research in the field. It is an essential resource for any academic library.

Excerpt from Windsock, 1944: Ryan Field, Tuscon, 44-G During the last war and until a few years ago it was said that a pilot is only as good as his airplane. This is no longer true. In the race for higher speed and greater altitude, the performance of airplanes has moved relentlessly ahead until now it is the airplane that is vastly superior to the pilot. It is important that the airman realize his shortcomings and weaknesses and learn how to compensate for or prevent them. As your training continues, the various physical and physiological problems that arise during flying will be explained and you will be given the latest knowledge of proved solutions to these problems.

In this authorised biography of one of the most remarkable Irishmen of the twentieth century, Richard Aldous is independent in his judgements and frank in his examination of his subject's shortcomings and eccentricities. But most of all, he writes with verve and pace. Tony Ryan was born in a railwayman's cottage and rose to enormous success, overseeing the spectacular making of two business fortunes and the dramatic loss of one. After an early spell in Aer Lingus, he set up an airline leasing company, Guinness Peat Aviation (GPA), which had its headquarters in Shannon and quickly became the largest such enterprise in the world. Ryan was a hard taskmaster and the company reflected his ferocious work ethic. Yet, despite a stellar board of directors, a botched and poorly timed Initial Public Offering in the 1990s saw GPA crash and burn. Ryan lost almost everything. All that remained was a little airline running massive deficits. Ryan set about turning Ryanair around, putting in one of his assistants, Michael O'Leary, to help knock it into shape. The rest is history. Ryan remade his fortune, lived lavishly and elegantly, was a generous patron of the arts, and in every respect larger than life. His spirit is one that Ireland needs more than ever today. As the nation strives for its own recovery, it can find inspiration in the story of how one of its most famous sons rose and fell, and then rose again. Not one to stand still or lament mistakes, Tony Ryan's determination never to give up is the real lesson of this story. He was in so many ways Ireland's Aviator.
