New Releases by Charles Dixon

In "Fifteen Hundred Miles an Hour," Charles Edward Dixon, who is well-known for his exacting observations of the natural world, deftly combines his scientific fiction worldview with his abiding passion for the natural world. Being a renowned naturalist and ornithologist, Dixon''s literary skills go far beyond the confines of conventional animal research, taking readers into undiscovered realms of the imaginative and speculative. Dixon, who is renowned for his unmatched commitment to careful observation, uses the same meticulous attention to detail in "Fifteen Hundred Miles an Hour" as he did in earlier ornithological writings. His narrative progresses at a speed that parallels the amazing swiftness of his bird subjects, all thanks to his acute observation of the subtleties found in the natural world. Dixon''s ability to move fluidly between factual and hypothetical elements is demonstrated in "Fifteen Hundred Miles an Hour," demonstrating that his writing talents are not limited to conventional genres. Readers are encouraged to soar with Dixon on this literary trip as he explores the infinite wonders of nature and his own limitless imagination as a world-class biologist turned science fiction storyteller.

Welcome to the second part of Charles Dixon-Spain''s attempt to capture all the wonder, danger, hilarity and stress that restoring a castle on the West Coast of Scotland brings. Sadie and Charles moved from London to Dunans Castle in March 2003, and spent the next couple of years creating a life in the Highlands against mounting odds. Through a series of admonitions, set out as a how-to manual, a tale of courage in the face of disappointment, misdirection and intimidation begins to emerge, in which the couple work to uncover the recent history of a building ill-served by its previous owners. The husband and wife team will stand firm in the face of midges, wrecked gateways and character assassination, while drawing comfort from family, friends and the people they meet in the local community as they work to restore the building and bring it back to life. If you have ever been gifted, or bought a decorative title from ScottishLaird, this is the tale you have been waiting for. An intimate depiction of the building and people you have already encountered and helped through the contribution made by your title.

Charles (Chuck) Dixon wrote “Chasing a Whirlwind” to share his adventures during the 75 years of his life and career in aviation. His life is a story of ambition and determination to reach goals that were often challenging and adventurous. God, family, country, and aviation were the driving factors in his life. He almost lost his life due to rogue whirlwinds or vortices created by powerful military aircraft early in his career. Vortices are necessary for an airplane to fly, and as an aerodynamicist, Chuck was determined to learn how to maximize their effectiveness. During his years working at two major aircraft companies Chuck thought out of the box and created patents that enhanced his work for the rest of his career. His sense of adventure gave him many opportunities to explore the great outdoors and kept him fit during his long life. After an early retirement, and the death of his wife Mary, Chuck won two proposals. First to the Air Force to pursue the creation of a specialty software that could predict stability and control effects of most types of aircraft. The second proposal was marriage to Frieda who would be his lifelong partner in his new business and the co-author of this life story. Sharing his faith in God with co-workers and others became a cornerstone of Chuck’s life. His belief in the power of God to bring abundant life to everyone he met, inspired him to invite others to find God’s peace in this world.

"She lived in a savage world in an uncivilized age - a world ruled by men and governed by the sword. The[y] called her ...

"A two-volume book about the lives of two people who were successful because of their determination. Dennis and Pelma Dixon were born in the early 1900''s. Despite the many hardships they faced, they were able to earn college degrees, raise their children (while both taught school), be involved in community service and every important event in which their children and grandchildren were involved. These were the values they stressed to their family. Many of the stories in the two volumes are taken from Mrs. Pelma Blair Dixon''s diary and journals she kept most of her life, including personal letters written by Den to Pel, and Pel to Den during their courtship. Also interwoven in the chapters are many historical accounts of life in rural eastern Kentucky. The descriptions detailed in this book are difficult for anyone in the 21st century to understand. Both of them lived their entire lives in Letcher County, Kentucky. Their early lives were lived on Elk Creek and Johnson Fork, before moving to Jenkins. Volume 1 looks at this couple''s love for Carcassonne High School, which gave them a start for an education. The many hardships they endured while persevering is a theme throughout the book. Volume 2 takes a closer look at the lives of Dennis and Pelma Dixon after their move to Jenkins, where they would live out remarkable lives."--

"Should these manuscripts chance to fall into the hands of any civilised man, it is my earnest wish, though of German extraction myself, that they should be published - if published at all- in the English tongue. Truth shall prevail, and our return to earth shall scatter, like thistle-down before the autumn winds, the scepticism which I mistake not will encircle them, as soon as man may read them. It is my cherished hope to return to my mother world, and to tell in person of that glorious life and those sublime wonders of a New World. Adieu!" This brief extract must suffice as introduction. The next chapter will begin at once with the story proper, omitting the uninteresting preliminary portion of the manuscripts...
