F-35 : the inside story of the Lightning II / by Burbage, Tomauthor.; Clark, Betsyauthor.; Pitman, Adrianauthor.; Poyer, Davidauthor.(CARDINAL)171426;

The F-35 has changed allied combat warfare. But by the time it?s completed, it will cost more than the Manhattan Project and the B-2 Stealth Bomber. It has been subject to the most aggressive cyberattacks in history from China, Russia, North Korea, and others. Its stealth technology required nearly 9 million lines of code; NASA?s Curiosity Mars rover required 2.5 million. And it was this close to failure. F-35 is the only inside look at the most advanced aircraft in the world and the historic project that built it, as told by those who were intimately involved in its design, testing, and production. Based on the authors' personal experience and over 100+ interviews, F-35 pulls back the curtain on one of the most heavily criticized government programs in history from start to finish: the dramatic flights that won Lockheed Martin the contract over Boeing; the debates and decisions over capabilities; feats of software, hardware, and aeronautical engineering that made it possible; how the project survived the Nunn-McCurdy breach; the conflicts among all three branches of the U.S. military, between the eight other allied nation partners, and against spy elements from enemies.

Introducing Agatha Raisin [sound recording] / by Beaton, M. C.author.(CARDINAL)346835; Keith, Penelope,1940-narrator.; Blackstone Audio, Inc.publisher.(CARDINAL)346395;
Read by Penelope Keith.Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death: Putting all her eggs in one basket, Agatha Raisin gives up her successful PR firm, sells her London flat, and samples a taste of early retirement in the quiet village of Carsely. Bored, lonely, and used to getting her way, she enters a local baking contest. Despite the fact that Agatha has never baked a thing in her life, she is sure the pie she has secretly bought from an upper-crust London quicherie will make her the toast of the town. But her recipe for social advancement sours when the judge not only snubs her entry--but falls over dead!Agatha Raisin and the Vicious VetAgatha Raisin hasn't quite adjusted to the slow pace of village life, or to the failure of her overtures to her handsome neighbor, James Lacey. Since the new vet in town is young and good looking, Agatha's perfectly healthy tabby endures a nasty physical exam in the name of romance. Unfortunately, his sacrifice is all for naught when the vet is soon found dead. The police call the death a freak accident, but Agatha convinces James that playing amateur detective might be fun. Unfortunately, just as curiosity killed the cat, Agatha's inept snooping is soon a motivation for murder ...

"Hollywood power couple DeVon Franklin and Meagan Good candidly share about their courtship and marriage, and the key to their success--waiting. Columbia Tristar Pictures executive DeVon Franklin and award-winning actress Meagan Good have learned sometimes all we can do is wait for "the one" to come into our lives. They spent years crossing paths but it wasn't until they were thrown together while working on the film Jumping the Broom that their storybook romance began. Faced with starting a new relationship and wanting to avoid potentially devastating relationship pitfalls, DeVon and Meagan chose to do something almost unheard of in today's society--abstain from sex until they were married. In The Wait, DeVon and Meagan share the life-changing message that waiting--rather than rushing a relationship--can help you find the person you're meant to be with. Filled with candid his-and-hers accounts of the most important moments of their relationship, and practical advice on how waiting for everything--from dating to sex--can transform relationships, allowing you to find a deep connection based on patience, trust, and faith"--
