The Flying Dutchmen Whether you are a Civil War buff or a fan of dramatic historical Fiction, The Flying Dutchmen will keep you enthralled. Thoroughly researched, yet told with humor and emotion, The Flying Dutchmen is the story of Fernando Suhrer, who though betrothed to the lovely Eva Plotts, reluctantly enlisted in the ill-fated 107th Regiment of Ohio Infantry. Scorned as cowards by the rest of the Army and the public, the Dutchmen of the Eleventh Corps fought heroically against impossible odds, suffering tremendous casualties. The Flying Dutchmen is as much of a story of love, separation, friendship and tragedy as it is a history of unsung heroes of the war. “Surreal, stunning, heart warming and magnificent.” “The Flying Dutchmen takes no time in whisking the reader on an adventure that will leave you wanting more.”

Since Vitruvius described in his famous work not only fixed buildings but also mobile objects and constructions, the possibility of incorporating change and motion into architecture has continued to fascinate architects. Yet it is only since radically new materials and IT media have been developed that the dream has become reality. "Flying Dutchmen" shows the way a selection of innovative Dutch architects have incorporated the issue of movement in their buildings. The examples are drawn by OMA/Rem Koolhaas, NOX Architects, Kas Oosterhuis, UN Studio, NL Architects, Bentham Crouwel, and Herman Hertzberger. The analyses provide a fascinating glimpse into the design process and its results, from sensitive surfaces to dynamic spaces, from aerodynamic forms to interactively linked buildings. Kari Jormakka is Professor for Architecture Theory at the Vienna University of Technology and heads the architectural office Wombat.

Fans of the New York Times bestselling Redwall series will be delighted with Brian Jacques' latest. The legend of the Flying Dutchman, the ghost-ship doomed to sail the seas forever, has been passed down throughout the centuries. But what of the boy, Neb, and his dog, Den, who were trapped aboard that ship? What was to become of them? Sent off on an eternal journey of their own, the boy and his dog roam the earth through out the centuries in search of those in need. Braving wind and waves and countless perils, they stumble across a 19th-century village whose very existence is at stake. Saving it will take the will and wile of all the people--and a very special boy and dog. "The swashbuckling language brims with color and melodrama; the villains are dastardly and stupid; and buried treasure, mysterious clues, and luscious culinary descriptions (generally involving sweets) keep the pages turning."
