The astronaut wives club: a true story

By Koppel, Lily

Publishing Date: 2013

Classification: 600

Call Number: 629.45 KOP

"As America's Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from military spouses into American royalty. They had tea with Jackie Kennedy, appeared on the cover of Life magazine, and quickly grew into fashion icons. Annie Glenn, with her picture-perfect marriage, was the envy of the other wives; platinum-blonde Rene Carpenter was proclaimed JFK's favorite; and licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived on base with a secret. Together with the other wives they formed the Astronaut Wives Club, meeting regularly to provide support and friendship. Many became next-door neighbors and helped to raise each other's children by day, while going to glam parties at night. As their celebrity rose-and as divorce and tragic death began to touch their lives-they continued to rally together, and the wives have now been friends for more than fifty years. THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB tells the real story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history"--

Shed nation: design, build, and customize the perfect shed for your yard

By Eckstein, Dan

Publishing Date: c2010

Classification: 600

Call Number: 690.892 ECK

This compact book is peppered with great photographs of a variety of sheds, including tree houses and green buildings, but Eckstein (curriculum director, Yestermorrow Design/Build Sch.) offers only four building projects. In an authoritative and confident tone, he covers the basics of construction; however, a beginner would need more step-by-step instruction. This inspirational guide is best for the experienced builder. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
