Carved out of Ohio's wilderness in 1852, the village of Grove City welcomed industrious laborers, farmers, and German immigrants. The arrival of the railroad and the interurban brought commuters willing to travel from Grove City into Columbus. The 1960s saw the construction of Interstates 71 and 270, which spurred the community's growth. Though its population has surpassed 37,000 residents, Grove City has retained its small-town appeal while offering residents and visitors a revitalized town center, a major arts festival, and the "world's largest" alumni softball tournament.

As an avid traveler for most of his adult life, author Michael Loveday has always been keen to soak up all he can about the essence of places from more unconventional sources. Not for him the pre-packaged official line served up by tourist companies, visitor guides and the like. In Big Yellow ?????, Loveday presents an unofficial travel guide - perhaps guerilla tourism. He doesnt include the choreographed, scripted, shepherded travel, packaged conveniently by tour companies and delivered comfortably, palatably and politically correctly, drawing a veil over the controversial bits. Instead, Loveday offers insights and knowledge of real people, on the ground, who may often turn your view of their world on its head and can even scare you a bit, or make you laugh hysterically, but will never leave you cozy, unchallenged, or in your comfort zone. From Albania to Zurich, the local taxi driver will take you to places you didnt anticipate, both physically and psychologically, and will leave you with a much more insightful view of their place. Someone once said there is no truth in history and the same sentiment might be applied to foreign travel so sit back, grasp your seat, clench your buttocks, expect the unexpected and enjoy the ride.

“Looks at the brave (and sometimes foolish) men and women who were responsible for . . . the development of manned flight” (History of War). This book tells the often dramatic and always fascinating story of flight in lighter than air machines. For centuries man had dreamed of flying, but all attempts failed, until in 1782 the Montgolfier brothers constructed the world’s first hot air balloon. The following year saw the first ascent with aeronauts—not human beings but a sheep, a duck and a cockerel. But it was not long before men and women too took to the air and became ever more adventurous. In the 19th century, balloons found a new role in the military. But their use was always limited by the fact that they were at the mercy of the wind. There were numerous attempts at steering balloons, and various attempts were made to power them but it was the arrival of the internal combustion engine that saw the balloon transformed into the airship. The most famous developer of airships was Graf von Zeppelin, and the book tells the story of the use of his airships in both peacetime and at war. There were epic adventures including flights over the poles and for a time, commercial airships flourished—then came the disaster of the Hindenburg. Airships still fly today and ballooning has become a hugely popular pastime. “Entertaining and informative . . . a series of interesting snapshots, giving a flavor of these challenging and daring exploits.” —Flying in Ireland “Absolutely enthralling.” —Books Monthly
