Michael Collins: Discovering History's Heroes (Jeter Publishing)
by James Buckley Jr.Jeter Publishing presents the second nonfiction biography in a brand-new series that celebrates men and women who altered the course of history often without recognition. On July 16, 1969, a Gemini rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Previous launches had focused on getting astronauts into space, docking two spacecraft, and even walking in space, but this mission was different. Apollo 11 was designed to land two astronauts on the moon and then bring them back to Earth. Four days later, two astronauts, Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, did walk on the moon. But did you know that there were actually three astronauts aboard the rocket on July 16? Michael Collins didn’t get to walk on the Moon, but his contribution is just as important as Armstrong and Aldrin’s. Prior to joining NASA, Collins was in the Air Force and flew fighter jets. After joining NASA, he made two trips into space, performing one of the first EVAs or Extravehicular activities (in other words, walking in space) as well as making that trip to the moon. Collins continued to contribute even after leaving the space program. He took a job in the State Department and even served as director of the National Air & Space Museum and as undersecretary of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. He may not have walked on the moon, but he’s one of only twenty-four people to travel there. In fact, without Michael Collins, that first moon landing might never have happened.

by Shaina C. IndovinoIn the last few decades, more and more people are going to college to further their education. It's hard to become a scientist, a professor, or a businessperson without getting some sort of college degree--but college isn't always necessary to achieve success. Some people are ready to enter the workforce right after high school. Michael Dell was one of those people. At an early age, Michael was making money using his above-average intellect. The computer company founder began his high-tech career in his college dorm room, selling upgrades for personal computers. Today, Dell Computers is one of the biggest PC manufacturers in the world, selling computers to people around the world. And what's most amazing about his story is that the computer magnate has done it all without a college degree!
Michael Ende – Poetik und Positionierungen (Abhandlungen zur Literaturwissenschaft)
by Thomas Boyken Thomas ScholzDie Beiträge untersuchen Michael Endes Poetik und das Verhältnis des als Kinder- und Jugendbuchautor wahrgenommenen Autors zum literarischen und intellektuellen Feld der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Dass sich Ende während seiner gesamten Schriftstellertätigkeit um die Anerkennung des literarischen und intellektuellen Feldes der Bundesrepublik bemüht hat, ist dokumentiert und Bestandteil des feuilletonistischen und akademischen Ende-Diskurses. Welche Strategien und Verfahren Ende für diesen Zweck einsetzte und in welchen Wechselbeziehungen diese zu seinem literarischen Werk stehen, wird hier erstmals systematisch untersucht. Dabei greifen die Beiträge sowohl auf Endes literarische Texte als auch auf seine (literatur-)theoretischen Reden aus, um Endes Poetik und seine Positionierungsstrategien zu konturieren.
