WWII images and aviation art in B&W and color. This great little book is a concise reference for history enthusiasts!... More > Serving as one among 257 air stations during World War II, the NAS Fort Lauderdale made a big impact on the South Florida region, and the United States as a whole. Thousands of men and women who went off to war received their training at NASFL. The radar, gunnery, and parachuting schools rivaled the best in the U.S. Most importantly, was the use of the base for training pilots and air crews on the Grumman Avenger TBF/TBM torpedo bomber, which was the largest single engine plane used during the war. The Naval Air Station found its fame with the disappearance of Flight 19 - The Lost Patrol, which flew out of the base on December 5th, 1945 to vanish into the Bermuda Triangle. To this date, Flight 19 remains one of the great aviation mysteries. Also in the summer of 1943, a 19 year old future US President George H.W. Bush lived at the base as a young Ensign to train as a torpedo/bomber pilot. < Less

A stunning collection of Shakespearean Sonnets by poet MICHAEL D. PETTI and nature photography by MINERVA BLOOM; a collaboration that reflects on love and life in its moods and seasons. A stirring verse introduces each season, hinting at the visual and poetic feast that follows, be it a landmark or a subtle, intimate detail:

Full Color: LARGE SQUARE BOOK 8.5x8.5 - There are many moments that we often pass by and take for granted. Moments that... More > vanish while our minds ruminate endlessly. All the while we miss what is right in front of us which is the present moment. To this end Minerva Bloom, a poet, artist & photographer, shows us the ancient art of haiga as Zen: tangible, concrete moments of time, crystallized in their essence in as few words as possible.

In this book questions such as "What is Haiku?", "Evolution of Haiga" and "Being in The Moment" are explained. Modern Haiga presented in a bilingual format in the course of a 10 year study mixing both bright or muted colors depending on the scene or emotion: a style of imagery that continues to expand the definitions of haiga. A Great Reference Book.
(En este libro de referencia, preguntas como "¿Qué es Haiku?", "La Evolución de Haiga" y "Existiendo en el Momento" son explicados en formato bilingüe con fotografía y arte de Minerva Bloom). < Less
