Witness

An Oral History of Black Politics in Boston 1920–1960

By: Lance Carden

This book begins in 1917 at the beginning of World War I and ends with a discussion of urban renewal, which took place in Boston's black community in the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on twenty-three long, taped interviews with prominent black Bostonians between July of 1988 and February of 1989. It is thus a narrative about black politics taken from the memories of black Bostonians between July of 1988 and February of 1989. The last section of the book is a curriculum guide written for high school and college teachers by the well-known black educator, historian, and author Robert C. Hayden. For each of the four decades between the 1920s and 1960s, it contains background information, chapter summaries, social studies concepts and topics, questions for discussion, proposed student activities, and suggested readings.

The Civil War

It Ain't Over Yet!

By: Lance Carden

It is the thesis of this volume that Americans are still fighting, sometimes violently, the same Civil War we thought was over more than a century ago. If you are concerned about the political, medical, racial, environmental, and other crises currently testing Americans and their democracy, the first two thirds of this book are designed to both inform and to entertain you, including a number of poems about the divisive Donald Trump. The final section is composed of more personal poems about family personalities, fantasies, poetry, and a number of delightful animals.

Spiritual Exercise

By: Lance Carden

This is not just a book about spirituality. It’s a celebration of spirituality as a natural and essential element of self-realization and human progress. Each and every one of these poems is a potential epiphany. The poet holds up spirituality as the ultimate goal of all human endeavor and an advance beyond organic life, which is “a carcass of thought used & abandoned, dust to dust, by all that’s ever truly us.” The highest work of the poet, he says, “is to translate what we blindly see as merely matter back into the Spirit sphere.” This book makes much of prayer, spiritual practice, and especially divine Love: “When we live in Love & it’s in us, the world explodes in loveliness.” Each poem stretches one’s thought towards the divine—and is thus a rewarding Spiritual Exercise.

Secrets of the Spitfire

The Story of Beverley Shenstone, the Man Who Perfected the Elliptical Wing

By: Lance Cole

This book tells the tale of the brilliant aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone MASc, HonFRAes, FAIAA,AFIAS, FCASI, HonOSTIV. As R.J. Mitchells chief aerodynamicist, it was Shenstone who designed the Spitfires wing the wing that gave the Spitfire it crucial advantage in the Battle of Britain and beyond. A quiet man, Shenstone never sought glory for his work, yet in recent years he has been credited as the man who persuaded Mitchell to adopt the ellipse a modified ellipse that was unique in its shape and its combined use of two integrated aerofoil sections. Shenstones knife-edge shape reached far back into early aeronautics for its inspiration. This book also names the other forgotten Spitfire design contributors who were Mitchells men Mr Faddy, Mr Fear, Mr Fenner, Mr Shirvall, a Prof Howland and others.Intriguingly, Shenstone had left his native Canada and early training as an RCAF pilot, to study at Junkers and then under the father of the delta wing Alexander Lippisch in Germany in the early 1930s. There, he became immersed in delta wings and flying wings. He also became a glider pilot. The story of how Beverley came to be in the right place at the right time is revealed for the first time. So too are the enigmatic tales of his involvement with the military, the intelligence world, Lord Beaverbrook , the USAF, and Canadian aviation.During the war Shenstone worked at the top secret Wright Patterson air force base and was involved with the Air Ministry and the pro-British movement in America when Shenstone worked for Air Chief Marshal Sir Wilfrid Freeman, the unsung hero behind British defence procurement. Shenstone achieved high office a President of the Royal Aeronautical Society, technical director at BOAC, chief engineer at BEA and a consultant to several aircraft makers. He was courted by Avro, de Havilland and Vickers, and was the force behind the renaissance of human-powered flight.Using exclusive access to his family documents, his unpublished autobiography and many notes and stories, as well as forensic research, this book details for the first time, a new twist to the Spitfires story and the secrets of its advanced science. A tale of design and military intelligence reveals a story of a man whose name should be more widely known in the UK, Canada and the aviation world.
