The autobiography of one of the greatest pilots in history. In 1939 Eric Brown was on a University of Edinburgh exchange course in Germany, and the first he knew of the war was when the Gestapo came to arrest him. They released him, not realising he was a pilot in the RAF volunteer reserve - and the rest is history. Eric Brown joined the Fleet Air Arm and went on to be the greatest test pilot in history, flying more different aircraft types than anyone else.

Ni el novelista más brillante de todos los tiempos podría haber imaginado un mundo con especies tan extraordinarias como las que alberga la Tierra. Con frecuencia, buscamos en la narrativa de ciencia ficción supuestos que nos muevan al asombro. Solemos creer que allí se encuentran las criaturas más extrañas y exóticas - como esas plantas fosforescentes de la película Avatar, o los gusanos de arena de la novela Dune. Pues bien, este audiolibro demuestra que, en el ámbito de la historia natural, la realidad supera con creces a la ficción.

It’s hard to believe that simply wearing sandals could once mark you as a rebel, but in places like Berkeley, California during the early 1960s and Millthorpe, England in the 1880s, it was a powerful statement. Millthorpe was home to Edward Carpenter (1844-1929), an English socialist poet, philosopher, and activist who turned his back on an elite lifestyle and academic comforts to cultivate vegetables and craft sandals. Carpenters quest for a fulfilling life echoes the spirit of Berkeleys counterculture movement, as he candidly reflects on how he broke free from the constraints of ...
