"GE Aviation: 100 years of reimagining flight tells the personal stories and technology triumphs behind a world-changing aviation company. Headquartered today in the Cincinnati suburb of Evendale, Ohio, GE Aviation was born boosting the power of biplanes in the skies over Dayton, Ohio, in 1919, and became a pioneer jet propulsion company in Lynn, Massachusetts, in the 1940s. In the 1950s and 1960s, GE engines from Evendale enabled jet fighters and bombers to set multiple speed records, while Lynn engines drove helicopter and business jet technology. GE Aviation entered the 21st century at the vanguard of aircraft propulsion, powering classic commercial jetliners and regional jets as well as historic military aircraft, such as the F-16 and F-18, the B-2 bomber, and the Black Hawk helicopter"--Provided by publisher.

An accurate, sympathetic account of influential colonial Christian leader Cotton MatherCotton Mather (1663-1728) was America's most famous pastor and scholar at the beginning of the eighteenth century. People today generally associate him with the infamous Salem witch trials, but in this new biography Rick Kennedy tells a bigger Mather, he says, was the very first American evangelical.A fresh retelling of Cotton Mather's life, this biography corrects misconceptions and focuses on how he sought to promote, socially and intellectually, a biblical lifestyle. As older Puritan hopes in New England were giving way to a broader and shallower Protestantism, Mather led a populist, Bible-oriented movement that embraced the new century — the beginning of a dynamic evangelical tradition that eventually became a major force in American culture.Incorporating the latest scholarly research but written for a popular audience,  The First American Evangelical  brings Cotton Mather and his world to life in a way that helps readers understand both the Puritanism in which he grew up and the evangelicalism he pioneered.
