I purchased this book because it was referred to several times in Neale Donald Walsch’s newest book “When Everything Changes: Change Everything,” which I have read twice. Even though I’m only about 40 pages into the book, I feel very comfortable with the information that Neale (God) shares. I highly recommend it to “anyone.”
COSMOS FROM THE SKY

Never thought a portable mount would be as sturdy as the suction mount until I used one supplied by a rental car company. I ordered one the minute I got back home! I love it!
Sky Fighters 2005 Les

Had never heard of the series but purchased it based upon the individuals and subject matter. What fun….truly enjoyed it and certainly recommend to someone who likes mysteries (and cooking)! I plan on purchasing season 2!

Pie in the Sky

Do you ever wonder if there is another world around you, like fairies? Well, that’s exactly what Artemis Fowl thought. Artemis, a twelve year old boy living in Ho Chi Minh City, is out to get one ton of twenty-four carat gold. This book is about the adventure he took. On his way, Artemis takes a book that contains all the secrets to the fairy world and tries to use it against them. He kidnaps a fairy named Holly, and holds her captive. To get her back, the LEPrecon Unit has to hand over the fairy gold he wants. The story continues to be a fight. The dangerous but sneaky fairy and the LEPrecon Unit fight back. They deal with trolls, magical books, five elfin warlocks, and above all a criminal master mind. This story will leave you wanting more.

Service was very fast and a good price. Very stable on the dashboard and can be used in the home. I have a nuvi 265wt and would recommend this for your Garmin GPS.
Journey to the Sky

A fascinating story of the joining of paleontology and engineering to try to understand how Pterosaurs flew… The enthusiasm is contagious…
National Geographic Sky Monsters

First, let me say that this is not your usual, giant robot anime. There are no monsters. There are no powerful and magical battles being waged between tall haired tweens. While it does fall into the fantasy and science fiction genre, it approaches it with a real world flair and concentrates on people more than just amazing flying machines.

Enter the world of THE SKY CRAWLERS – an alternate timeline in another world. A battle is being fought between two factions and children-beings called Kildren fight within it. They may live forever – no one knows. They know that each day may be their last. And, they don’t care. They fight when called on and spend the rest of their time waiting to fight again. Grim, indeed.

But, there’s more.

If you are a fan of GHOST IN THE SHELL, PATLABOR or JIN ROH, you already know about Oshii and the deliberate pacing of his films. He takes time with them and lets the viewer take everything in. Sounds and interactions take on a quiet strength that makes you take stock in what’s really going on. The characters wander through their world and take on a realistic and sometimes fatalistic quality that strikes a chord when watching.

But, it’s not all character and plot development. It’s dogfights and amazing design. The propeller driven fighters the Kildren fight in are based in a real world design and are very believable. This isn’t X-Wings and things of fantasy. These machines look like they could be built and flown today. The vehicles are rendered in 3D while the characters are drawn (a style I love!) and the blend works very well. This is something Oshii does in many of his films and it works really well. The dogfights are amazing and choreographed very well. They could hold their own in the world of cinematic air battles.

Fans of Oshii are also familiar with something else as well. The feeling that you missed something somewhere along the line. You follow MOST of the plot, then something that is introduced somehow misses the thought pro
