Pachyderm and the Rat is the exciting tale of what it was like flying with the "Big Boys" in Vietnam. Many people are familiar with different tales of flying with the Huey, the most common helicopter of the "Helicopter War". The Chinook was roughly four times the size of the Huey and had over four times the lifting capacity. It was a workhorse and flew virtually every type of mission there. This included combat assaults, artillery raids, LZ construction, insertions and extractions, medical evacuation, reconnaissance, napalm and CS drops, and of course resupply. It tells of the heroics in the air and the insanity on the ground. One of the major differences in flying the Chinook is that you were normally alone. No 'wing man', no other helicopters in the flight. If something went wrong you were on your own unless you could radio for assistance. Even then it may take a half hour or more for help to arrive. A very long time in a combat situation. The Chinook was an incredibly complex aircraft. Two engines, five transmissions, two rotor systems, three hydraulic systems, and huge amount of moving parts. All looking for something to go wrong. There were a crew of five men, Aircraft Commander (AC) or First Pilot, Pilot, Flight Engineer, Crew Engineer, and Gunner. The AC was responsible for these five men and their lives plus the multi-million dollar aircraft. A lot of responsibility for some very young men. Most took their responsibilities very seriously while recognizing they were the lifeline for the men on the ground. There was very little they would not do to support those troops. That support could get very interesting. Harry, the Rat, and his buddies flew in all kinds of weather, through mountains and flat lands, through enemy activity, through whatever it took to get the support to the ground forces that they required. At times this could become a major challenge. The author served six and a half years in the US Army, four of them as a helicopter pilot. This included a tour in Vietnam flying the Chinook helicopter. Following his active duty he had a very successful career in health care human resources. Following a 28 year hiatus he now resides back in his hometown of Rochester, Minnesota. He remains in contact with many of the pilots and crewmembers he flew with in Vietnam.
Winner of the 2022 Textbook & Academic Authors Association's The McGuffey Longevity Award Aging: Concepts and Controversies is structured to encourage a style of teaching and learning that goes beyond conveying facts and methods. This innovative text focuses on controversies and questions rather than on assimilating facts or creating a single "correct" view about aging or older people. Drawing on their extensive expertise, authors Harry R. Moody and Jennifer R. Sasser first provide an overview of aging in three domains: aging over the life course, health care, and socioeconomic trends. Each section then includes data and conceptual frameworks, helping students to make sense of the controversies and understand their origin, engage in critical thinking, and develop their own views. The Tenth Edition of this hallmark textbook includes amplified discussions focused on differences, diversity, structural inequalities, and inclusion, as well as contemporary issues, including climate change and immigration. Included with this title: The password-protected Instructor Resource Site (formally known as SAGE Edge) offers access to all text-specific resources, including a test bank and editable, chapter-specific PowerPoint® slides.

When Cincinnati's Roebling Suspension Bridge, connecting the Queen City to Covington, Kentucky, opened in 1866 it was the longest suspension bridge in the world at just over 1000 feet. The need for such a bridge stretched back decades and its genesis was the incorporation of the Covington and Cincinnati Bridge Company in 1846. While the bridge's commercial usefulness was quickly outpaced by railroad bridges, it remains today the iconic symbol of Cincinnati, a testament to the city's nineteenth century optimism and prominence. "The Ohio Bridge," originally published in 1939, details the early history of the bridge from mere idea to completion and up to 1939, including its corporate history, the impact of the Civil War, its engineering and construction, and the Roebling Firm.
