＜p＞＜strong＞"A true story of a woman's drive and intensity, told with humility, grace and humor. ＜em＞Life Takes Wings＜/em＞ is a great American flying story." ーDeborah Douglas, author of ＜em＞American Women and Flight＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Life Takes Wings＜/em＞, Captain Lynn Rippelmeyer soars with inspiration from a starry-eyed farm girl gazing at the sky to flight attendant to first female pilot of the revolutionary Boeing 747.＜br /＞ More than just a story of one woman's love affair with the skies, ＜em＞Life Takes Wings＜/em＞ combines lessons in tenacity, humility, humor, perseverance, and partnership with the exhilaration of defying social norms, and the rewards of being true to oneself. Inspired to become a commercial airline pilot in an age when it was not an option for girls, serendipitous relationships lead Lynn to her first flying lessons in a seaplane, then to becoming flight instructor and charter pilot while also working as a flight attendant. Perceived as being incapable of flying, women were relegated to the cabin. Ignoring the pilots' negative comments, Lynn became a number of aviation's female firstsーmember of first all-female commercial airline crew, first flight attendant-to-pilot, and first female pilot of the Boeing 747. Through laughter and tears, ＜em＞Life Takes Wings＜/em＞ shows the sky is no limit for those who follow their dreams.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"Captain Rippelmeyer's book is one of the best chronicles of a flying life that I have ever read. She meets turbulence with determination and fortitude, but with a positive approach and a marvelous sense of humor, which seems to be rare these days." ーJacqueline Boyd, PhD, chair, Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship Fund and 99s 2020 recipient of the Award of Achievement for Contributions to Aviation＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】My Work Adventure in Switzerland Survival Kit Series, #1【電子書籍】[ Thais Montenegro ]

＜p＞＜strong＞My Work Adventure in Switzerland＜/strong＞ is much more than the story of a migration. It is an emotional, practical, and deeply human map of what it truly means to start from scratch in one of the most organizedーyet sometimes most bewilderingーcountries in the world. Told with honesty, humor, vulnerability, and a precision that only someone who has lived each challenge can convey, this book becomes an indispensable companion for anyone who dreams of living, working, or integrating into Switzerland.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Thais Montenegro, the author and protagonist, opens the doors to her real journey: from bustling S?o Paulo to silent, efficient Zurich. What begins as a job opportunity quickly becomes an emotional roller coasterーgoodbyes, doubts, paperwork, cultural clashes, lessons, frustrations, and small daily victories that mark the start of a new life in the heart of the Alps.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through clear, anecdotal, and deeply useful chapters, Thais explores the essential experiences faced by every migrant:＜br /＞ ? the impact of the first landing, where Swiss punctuality, silence, and order spark both amazement and disorientation;＜br /＞ ? the bureaucratic marathon required to obtain permits, register at the commune, secure health insurance, and open a bank account;＜br /＞ ? the odyssey of searching for housing in a competitive, expensive market full of unspoken rules that challenge even the most prepared;＜br /＞ ? the struggle to find a job without local contacts, adapt to Swiss work culture, understand workplace hierarchies, and survive the quiet of minimalist offices;＜br /＞ ? the economic shock of realizing the true cost of living;＜br /＞ ? and the slow, profound, and beautiful transformation that occurs when a foreign country gradually begins to feel like home.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book not only explains what to do to survive in Switzerland; it also shows how it ＜em＞feels＜/em＞ to go through each step. Thais speaks of the migrant's loneliness, the tears no one mentions, the discomfort of not understanding the language, the inevitable cultural mistakes, the moments when one wants to go back, and the others when, for the first time, one feels proud of having come so far.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alongside the narrative, ＜strong＞My Work Adventure in Switzerland＜/strong＞ offers an extremely valuable practical guide:＜br /＞ ? updated lists of procedures, useful apps, and real portals for housing and employment;＜br /＞ ? clear explanations about permits, contracts, healthcare, transportation, and education;＜br /＞ ? money-saving tips applicable from the very first day;＜br /＞ ? multilingual glossaries;＜br /＞ ? cultural maps to understand the Swiss mindset;＜br /＞ ? and warnings that help avoid costly mistakes almost all newcomers make.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book achieves a perfect balance between emotion and practicality. It is a work that embraces and guides, that accompanies and teaches, that shows vulnerability without losing clarity. Its premise is simple but powerful: no one should migrate uninformed or feel that they are walking alone. That is why Thais shares her story so openlyーso others can build their own with more safety, more knowledge, and less fear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By the end of these pages, one understands that migrating is not a leap into the void; it is a leap toward oneself. It is losing and regaining identity. It is making mistakes, adapting, resisting, laughing, crying, and being reborn. It is discovering that the real journey does not happen on the planeーit happens inside the heart.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞My Work Adventure in Switzerland＜/strong＞ is a tribute to those who reinvent themselves far from home, and an invitation to all who dream of spreading their wings. A book for migrants, for the curious, for the brave… and for anyone ready to bloom in a new land.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Note to Self: Stream of Consciousness【電子書籍】[ Tim Yearneau ]

＜p＞Two weeks, that's all I had. Sent to be a delegate the votes could wait, but Atlanta wouldn't. I became part prophet, part tourist with a splash of barbeque and Hollywood to boot. Southern hospitality ruled strong, yet tears rolled down my cheeks. I crooned in the life of luxury, but this led to a paradox.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Browsing the streets were a cast of humanity - the Georgia Peach, an officer of the law, and a soccer fanatic. They came to where dreams come true. And they all had one thing in common, they talked to me. It didn't stop with them; an owner's daughter speaks, Naughty girl met denial, Duckman swallowed, and Abe Lincoln said let's make a deal. All in a days work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sherman started his famous March to the Sea in Atlanta. Here, in this travel memoir, Mr. Y. makes his own March to Atlanta. It's where moral conflict broods and serendipity percolates from irrevocable moments. In the here and now Ghandi stands with Martin Luther King. The past becomes the present and the present fades to the past.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】A Fool in Paradise Fool in Paradise, #1【電子書籍】[ Neil Hutchison ]

＜p＞Following hot the heels of his best seller, Money Number One, Neil Hutchison continues his in-depth investigation into the tourist playground of Pattaya. This collection of short stories, originally published individually under the pseudonym 'A Fool in Paradise', form a collage of insights into the machinations of this fantastic city on the eastern seaboard of Thailand.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Anyone who has read Money Number One will enjoy this follow-up book as it reinforces the conclusions drawn and advice presented in the former through the personal experiences of the author. The tales are fast-paced, humourous, well written and ALL TRUE. Well, almost.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sir Winston Churchill quipped that "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." If that is true, then Neil is a success story because his love and enthusiasm for Pattaya and its people has not diminished over the years. The highs, lows, ups, downs, laughter and tears portray a convincing analysis of the human condition. As Neil says, "Pattaya is to a writer what a room full of fruit bowls is to an artist."＜/p＞ ＜p＞The last story, 'Footprints in the Sand', is a particularly poignant tale of just how the city can affect its visitors and guests, even those who should know better. Written with his heart firmly on his sleeve, it proves that no matter how smart we think we are or how old we get, we just never learn. This tale is a 'must read' for any foreign male contemplating a long-term liaison with a Thai lady.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Yevu (White Woman) My Five Weeks With The Ewe Tribe of Ghana, West Africa【電子書籍】[ Kathryn Taubert ]

＜p＞YEVU is the true story of a 63-year-old American widow’s solitary journey to Africa on a volunteer, humanitarian mission. Having spent the years immediately prior to her journey rebuilding her life after a series of personal losses, Taubert’s journey of healing led her to seek an opportunity to do something she’d never done before, on a continent she’d never visited, with a people and culture she’d never previously known. Living with members of the Ewe Tribe in the village of Abutia-Kloe in the Volta Region of Ghana, Taubert found the deep bonds and lasting friendships that can be forged between peoples of widely disparate backgrounds and cultures. It’s as much a story of an incredible native people who opened their hearts to a senior citizen from the USA, as it is a testament to the fact that it’s never too late to give of oneself to others, and in the process, get far more in return. For anyone of any age who ever thought they might want to take a “volunteer vacation” to a developing country, Yevu is a must-read book. Expect tears. Expect smiles. In essence, expect to be overwhelmed with pleasant emotions as you take your first steps into another world altogether as Kathryn Taubert, your willing and enthusiastic tour guide, transports you to a magical place like no other. While on your journey with the author, you will experience -- as she did -- what life is like for the people in Ghana, West Africa, along with their culture, environment and living conditions. Fall in love with the unique, touching characters you will meet along the way and join Kathryn as she shows you what it is like to find yourself on essentially another planet ... one that you'll never be able to forget. Jay Schlichter, Collier Citizen Editor, Naples Daily News, Naples, Florida www.naplesnews.com In YEVU, Kathryn Taubert chronicles her experiences and her reflections on her transformational journey to a remote village in Ghana, West Africa. Fulfilling a desire to make a contribution to those less fortunate, she took her considerable management and leadership skills and experience to cobble together with the natives a self-sustaining strategy to provide early education for the village's youth. She eloquently describes these loving, industrious people who are living in poverty. Though uneducated, they are bright, hard-working, and eager to improve their lot. Kathryn's experience reminds us how what's really important in life. Her mission was a success in so many ways. You'll not only discover how Kathryn "made a difference" on her journey, you'll learn how Kathryn's life was transformed by these gentle people. YEVU was a great read. Like me, you'll probably wish you could have made the trip. Bob Harden, Producer and Host of “The Bob Harden Show,” Naples, Florida, USA www.bobharden.com/ A beautiful, very real, and inspiring book. YEVU will open your mind and heart, and help you look at life from a new perspective. A must-read for anyone who has ever dreamed of volunteering abroad.
