Experience the evolution of aviation, from the earliest pioneers to the complex technology of military jets and beyond, as inventors and aviators with skill and imagination push the limits of possibility. A rich selection of photos includes images of groundbreaking designs, patents, and logbooks from record-breaking flights.

On the 100th anniversary of the very first nonstop transatlantic flight, and the 50th anniversary of the debut flights of the Boeing 747 and Concorde, this lavishly illustrated volume celebrates the wonders of aviation. Witness the daring exploits and dangerous challenges that form the story of flight in this beautifully illustrated book, filled with rare photographs and historical documents that include groundbreaking designs, patents, and logbooks. Published in the year that marks 50 years since the first flight of the Boeing 747 and of Concorde, it describes the early pioneers, such as the Wright brothers and Alcock &amp; Brown, as well as the highly skilled engineers developing aircraft today. From the early hot-air balloons of the Montgolfiers to the complex technology behind military jets and space rockets, Flight reveals how air power emerged as a new means of military combat and how it became the leading mode of international travel, all in the space of less than a century.

In recent years, Carl Warner’s photographs have been unofficially circulating on the Internet and in mass e-mailings, to the pleasure of thousands upon thousands of viewers. Now, these images and many new ones are collected in one volume.
 In the spirit of Play with Your Food, Carl Warner’s Food Landscapes is a colorful and fantastically imaginative collection of landscapes constructed entirely from fruits and vegetables, cheeses, breads, fish, meat, and grains. The book offers a trip around the world in 25 international tableaux constructed from appropriate regional ingredients. Each photo is spectacular on its own, but the effort of constructing it is equally fascinating. Every image in the book is followed by an essay about the creative process and stories from the photo shoots, as well as behind-the-scenes material such as preliminary sketches, making-of photos, detail shots, and a list of the ingredients and their position in the final picture.

Carl Warner is a professional photographer known for his miniature landscapes made entirely from edible ingredients. A World of Food presents 12 of his amazing pictures, each one showing young readers what the world might look like if there were only a single color. “Yellow” is a desert made of pasta palm trees, cereal sand, and swiss cheese pyramids, while “Orange” features pumpkin cottages, carrot trees, and apricot leaves. Playful verse accompanies each image, guiding viewers through the pictures and inviting them to figure out the various foods used (which are all identified at the back of the book). This is a wonderful book about colors and creativity for parents and children to look through together and discover the many different foods that make up Warner’s fantastical world. Praise for A World of Food "Children will delight in pointing at the sweet ingredients, such as meringue clouds and lollipop trees." —Wall Street Journal "Kids and adults alike will marvel at these painstakingly assembled and composed photos, eagerly identifying the foods that make up the details of the landscapes." —Kirkus Reviews AWARD: HONORS winner: 2012 National Parenting Publications Book Awards
