Fred Charters Kelly Ordre des livres (chronologique)

In this fascinating, highly readable biography, Fred C. Kelly, a former newspaperman, author, and an old friend of the Wrights, tells the story of the two brilliant, dedicated, flight-obsessed bicycle mechanics from Ohio who first realized mankind's age-old dream of conquering the skies. Long considered the definitive Wright biography (the manuscript was read and approved by Orville Wright), this book recounts the Wrights' small-town boyhood, their early interest in all things mechanical, the establishment of the Wright Cycle Shop, and the complete behind-the-scenes story of how they designed, built, tested, and flew (December 1903) the first "Flyer."Enhanced with sixteen rare photographs, Mr. Kelly's engaging account avoids minute technical description, yet describes simply and clearly the technological innovations that enabled the two brothers to succeed where so many others had failed. Anyone interested in the mechanics of flight or early aviation will find this volume a splendid introduction to the Wright brothers and their epochal achievement.

A successful, non-professional speculator tells how Wall Street paid back to him more than he entrusted to it. This book is both a personal history and a valuable study of crowd reaction to market fluctuations - the adventures of an "outsider" who found the greatest enemies to stock market success. He shows you how to recognize them and how to avoid becoming a loser because of them. "Vanity", "Greed" and "The Will to Believe" are just a few of eight instructive chapters. Completely non-technical; anyone can understand and act on this book about money-making stocks. First published in 1930. Paperback. 177 pages.
