She is also a world-class athlete and a member of the genius society Mensa. Davis is now recognized for her tireless advocacy for women and girls as founder and chair of the nonprofit Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media\, which engages film and television creators to dramatically increase the percentage of female characters\, and reduce gender stereotyping in media made for children. \nDying of Politeness: A Memoir is Davis’ story\, one woman’s journey to fight for herself and ultimately live a bolder\, freer\, more authentic life. “In this book\,” says Davis\, “I’ll reveal the ways in which my public life\, the movies\, the advocacy\, and my relationships have impacted and empowered the private me\, and I hope\, inspire my readers to expand their own sense of power.” Davis regales readers with tales of a career playing everything from a soap opera star in her underwear to a housewife-turned-road-warrior\, a baseball phenomenon\, an amnesiac assassin\, the mother of a rodent\, and the president of the United States.

SUMMARY:US Attack Aviation: From the Red Baron to TOPGUN
DESCRIPTION:Attack aviation is intense and dangerous. It necessitates the direct engagement of ground targets at low altitude. Attack aircraft are usually fighters or fighter-sized aircraft\, with one or two engines\, and one or two crew. For this event\, R. G. Head (Brig. Gen.\, Ret.) will present his new book US Attack Aviation: Air Force and Navy Light Attack: 1916 to the Present. This is a story about flying. It is told by naval aviators\, Air Force fighter pilots\, and the men who built the airplanes the pilots flew. \nAuthor R. G. Head (Brig. Gen.\, Ret.) has extensive experience in combat (325 missions\, DFC\, Silver Star) and an in-depth understanding of doctrine (taught future pilots at the Air Force Academy) and gained first-person exposure to the policy and engineering aspects of the aircraft procurement process while serving at the Pentagon and later as a private consultant working in collaboration with the US Navy. His work provides an overview history of American attack aviation from its inception to present\, including both the US Navy and Air Force. The pillars of the narrative are several case studies that characterize the evolution of technology and tactics over time: SBD Dauntless\, AD Skyraider\, A-4 Skyhawk\, A-7 Corsair II\, A-10 Thunderbolt II\, and F/A-18 Hornet. Each of the cases contains first-person accounts that include a description of the aircraft’s origin\, competitive procurement\, major attack features\, and combat employment. Head (Brig. Gen.\, Ret.) has extensive experience in combat (325 missions\, DFC\, Silver Star) and an in-depth understanding of doctrine (taught future pilots at the Air Force Academy) and gained first-person exposure to the policy and engineering aspects of the aircraft procurement process while serving at the Pentagon and later as a private consultant working in collaboration with the US Navy.
