CYCLE OF CATHAY. An Historical Perspective
Author: Young, Arthur N., Financial Adviser to China, 1929-1946
Year: 1997
Country or State of Origin: California
As Financial Advisor to China, Arthur N. Young had an intimate insight as an on-the-spot observer of events during the critical 18 years leading to the fall of the Nationalists and the Communist takeover. Along with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Dr. Young worked closely with the highest-ranking officials of the National Government in carrying out monetary and fiscal reforms prior to World War II, and stayed through the war to aid with problems of war finance, including procurement of American aid. As the Pacific Rim gains increasing international prominence, this book will prove to be of particular importance to students, scholars, business and political leaders with an interest in Asian affairs.

LINDBERGH FLIGHT’S ENIGMATIC HERO.
Author: Hardesty, Von
Year: 2002
Country or State of Origin: California
One of the defining moments of the 20th century came on the night of May 21, 1927, when Charles Lindbergh landed his silver monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, at Le Bourget Airport outside Paris. Flying alone, he had made a nonstop flight from New York across the storm-tossed North Atlantic - then considered an insurmountable barrier separating North America from Europe. Magnificently illustrated, this admirably brief biography tells Lindbergh’s story with rare sensitivity to the most important context in which he needs to be understood - that of aviation - and leaves the reader with a clear view of the magnitude of his achievements in any way overlooking his all-too-human failings.
