Abstract

This biography by A. Scott Berg delves into the life of Charles A. Lindbergh, the first solo pilot to cross the Atlantic non-stop from New York to Paris in 1927. The book explores Lindbergh's rise to fame as a pioneering aviator and his subsequent personal and public challenges, including the tragic kidnapping of his child in 1932 and his controversial admiration of Nazi Germany. Berg provides a comprehensive and nuanced portrayal of Lindbergh, depicting him not only as an aviation hero but also as a complex figure caught in the tides of history. The biography also highlights the contributions of Lindbergh's wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, as a prominent feminist voice. Intended for a general audience interested in American history and biography, the book is noted for its meticulous research and rich detail.

Abstract

The Barber, the Astronaut, and the Golf Ball by Barbara Radnofsky and Ed Supkis is a compelling narrative that intertwines the history of space exploration with personal stories of friendship and legacy. The book focuses on Alan Shepard, the first American astronaut to fly in space and one of the few to walk on the moon, and his unique friendship with Carlos Villagomez, a Navy veteran turned barber. The authors explore Shepard's life from his naval career through his achievements in NASA's Apollo program, notably his iconic golf ball moment on the moon. Villagomez's life story, including his contributions to NASA and his community, is also highlighted. The book aims to connect historical milestones with human experiences, appealing to readers interested in space exploration, personal histories, and the legacies of those involved in the space race.
