The Smell of Kerosene
LCDR Jake Mallick (Ret) is a rarity. He used his Navy flight expertise to launch a 31-year career as NASA's top flight test examiner. A few years ago, he wrote a book — THE SMELL OF KEROSENE — about his experiences, which NASA published as part of its public education mission. Only a few copies were turned out and were quickly snapped up by NASA and military insiders. The book may still be found for free on the NASA website or on www.alibris.com for a price. Or a downloadable, printable copy may be found here. – Click here for a longer description and on-line reading.

The Bedford Gazette (1805-1905)
The Bedford Gazette is the ninth oldest newspaper in continuous publication in the United States. It was founded in 1805 in the frontier town of Bedford Pennsylvania. Despite its backwoods location and small size, Bedford played a remarkable role in the country's westward expansion, in early frontier culture, in the Civil War and Reconstruction, and in American industrialization during the late 1800s. Throughout the 19th Century, the Bedford Gazette chronicled America with all its glories and blemishes from a small town, rural viewpoint. Today, Bedford is best known as a rest stop on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and the Gazette is that rarity — a small town daily newspaper that happens to be more than 200 years old. LT Richard F. Fralick started the book in 1959 as a journalism master's thesis, and it just "kinda grew" to 300 pages over 50 years. – Click here for a longer description and on-line reading.

Each issue is published as it comes available for on-screen reading. — Click here for a longer description and on-line reading.
Science Fiction Pulp Publications
Pulp Science Fiction is a series of reprinted stories and artwork from the beginning of America's love affair with technology. Originally published in inexpensive magazines from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, pulp science was not like today's NASA science — readers weren't concerned with technical accuracy; they were only interested in a good yarn. If you're an old time sci-fi fan, this is a series you'll love. If you've never read a sci-fi pulp, you're in for a treat. The colorful covers alone are worth having. – Click here for a longer description and on-line reading.
