(On December 17, 1903, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, was no ...)
On December 17, 1903, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, was no longer a quiet outpost among the islands of the Outer Banks. It was then that Orville and Wilbur Wright completed the first manned flight and the era of aviation began. What is not well known about the Wright brothers' is that they were highly skilled amateur photographers, who even had their own photo laboratory. Their images were purposeful as well as documentary, allowing Orville and Wilbur to re-examine their work and share their experiences with colleagues. Now, through advances in technology, readers can for the first time see details of not only those first amazing flights, but also a glimpse into the lives and the people who surrounded the Wright brothers during their time at Kitty Hawk. Hidden Images: Discovering Details in the Wright Brothers' Kitty Hawk Photographs, 1900-1911, by historian and Wright brothers' scholar Larry Tise, is a distinctive illustrated history, which for the first time brings to light the world of the Wright brothers at the dawn of aviation. The details in the images presented within allow the reader to step back in time and truly understand the trials and errors endured by the Wright brothers during these historic years in the history of aviation.

( In seven crucial days of spring 1908, the Wright brothe...)
In seven crucial days of spring 1908, the Wright brothers prepared for what they thought would be a season of secret flights at Kitty Hawk, the culmination of five years spent perfecting their planes. However, they were soon discovered by a host of fast-paced reporters and photographers, forcing the brothers to try to outsmart the world press and avoid close scrutiny of their flying machine and its prowess. Within a few pivotal days, the brothers were catapulted into unwanted worldwide fame as the international press reported their every move using rudimentary telegraphs and early forms of photography. This comedy-of-errors pursuit of pilots and press resulted in a series of bizarre and far-fetched news stories splashed across front pages around the world, by journalists who knew they had just witnessed a milestone in history and were desperate to get to the story first. In Conquering the Sky, Larry E. Tise tells the fascinating untold story of how the Wrights finally introduced the world to the power of flight, taught a legion of gaping aeronauts how to put a plane in the air and keep it there, and astonished thousands of eye-witnesses both in America and in Europe with their amazing feats.

( Probing at the very core of the American political cons...)
Probing at the very core of the American political consciousness from the colonial period through the early republic, this thorough and unprecedented study by Larry E. Tise suggests that American proslavery thought, far from being an invention of the slave-holding South, had its origins in the crucible of conservative New England. Proslavery rhetoric, Tise shows, came late to the South, where the heritage of Jefferson's ideals was strongest and where, as late as the 1830s, most slaveowners would have agreed that slavery was an evil to be removed as soon as possible. When the rhetoric did come, it was often in the portmanteau of ministers who moved south from New England, and it arrived as part of a full-blown ideology. When the South finally did embrace proslavery, the region was placed not at the periphery of American thought but in its mainstream.
