<p>Horatio Barber is a somewhat forgotten figure from the pioneering days of "heavier than air" flight. Although well documented at the time, his considerable contribution to aviation is often overlooked in the history books. His achievements, if mentioned at all, tend to lie in the shadow of more famous aviators such as Cody, A. V. Roe, Graham-Wright and Sopwith etc. This book redresses the balance in that respect, and will hopefully put him in his rightful place in aviation history.But there is much more. Barber had an exceptional life of peaks and troughs throughout his career. We see him travel extensively across the world and involving himself in a variety of business ventures: farming, silver and gold mining, and then in the 1910s, aeroplane design, construction, and piloting. In later years he was author, insurance broker, hotelier and colonial development office. Throughout, his businesses ranged from bona fide to unethical to outright scams. Although at certain times he was a prodigious self-publicist, he managed to keep most of his less-moral adventures out of the limelight. This side of the aviation pioneer has never before been told and is a fascinating story of an extraordinary man.</p>

<p>A keepsake for anyone connected to the 120-year history of St. Barnabas Hospital or interested in how the hospital and medical profession in general grew from fledgling beginnings after the Civil War. Grace Terry has put together the definitive resource on St. Barnabas, the first hospital in Minneapolis started in 1871 by Reverend Knickerbacker of the Episcopal Church. St. Barnabas pioneered many advances in the practice of medicine and caring for the sick. It was the first air-conditioned hospital in the country, it established the first video nursing education program in the country, had the first hospital (1958) to be built with United Hospital Funds, and provided the first medical research program in a private hospital in the city of Minneapolis, as well as the very first nurses’ home in Minneapolis. You’ll also discover 1) The humble beginnings of the city of Minneapolis; 2) How patient care went from the home to the hospital; 3) The beginning and growth of nursing as a profession; 4) The mergers with Swedish (1954) and Mt. Sinai (1972) hospitals; and 5) Biographical vignettes of 400 employees of St. Barnabas.</p>
