1992réf. 82194New York: W. W. Norton & Company 1992. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 332 4 pages. Foreword by Susan Stamberg Inscribed on the half-title page by the author. Inscription reads For Lynn Fondly Noah October 1 1992 Washington. Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author known primarily since 1987 from National Public Radio. A former co-host of the daily All Things Considered program Adams has also been a contributing correspondent at the network's National Desk. His books tend to document a full year in his life specifically as that year relates to a particular passion or research project. He wrote and narrated a documentary called Father Cares: The Last of Jonestown in 1981 which earned him the Prix Italia the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award and the Major Armstrong Award. Adams was the host of the nationally syndicated Minnesota Public Radio variety show Good Evening created in 1987 to replace A Prairie Home Companion after that show left the air. The host of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" provides a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this landmark radio show; the team of reporters announcers and technicians that work on the show; and anecdotes about key programs. All Things Considered ATC is the flagship news program on the American network National Public Radio NPR. It was the first news program on NPR premiering on May 3 1971. It is broadcast live on NPR affiliated stations in the United States and worldwide through several different outlets formerly including the NPR Berlin station in Germany. All Things Considered and Morning Edition were the highest rated public radio programs in the United States in 2002 and 2005. The show combines news analysis commentary interviews and special features and its segments vary in length and style. ATC airs weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time live or Pacific Standard Time recorded with some updates; in Hawaii it airs as a fully recorded program or from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. A weekend version of ATC Weekend All Things Considered airs on Saturdays and Sundays. Major awards won by the show include the Ohio State Award the Peabody Award the Overseas Press Club Award the DuPont Award the American Women in Radio and Television Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Award. In 1993 the show was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame the first public radio program to be given that honor. In 2017 the first broadcast episode from 1971 of All Things Considered was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. Recordings in the collection are considered "culturally historically or artistically significant." Derived from a Kirkus review: The story behind National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" stories. Adams longtime co-host for "All Things Considered" offers his journal for 1989--the year the Berlin Wall came down Communism began crumbling in Eastern Europe Tiananmen Square erupted and the Ayatollah died. To provide a firsthand feel for his job the author who develops many NPR stories on his own intersperses radio interviews with travel notes and entries from his personal diary. The author tells of his background--rock 'n' roll DJ; program director; sales manager--and his worst moment in radio: While announcing for a small station lightning struck the station's antenna putting the broadcast off the air for an hour--and no one called up to complain. Adams relates many interesting stories and his writing is strong and involving. W. W. Norton & Company hardcover

Inscribed by the author on the title page; inscription reads: "For Dick-- Noah Adams". Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author known primarily since 1987 from National Public Radio. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Adams cohost of NPR's All Things Considered sets out to learn about the Wright Brothers their family and why they loved to fly so much. Adams visits all the spots important to the brothers from the Outer Banks of North Carolina where they flew gliders to France; Dayton Ohio; and New York. The most appealing part of the book is the look at the close relationship between Orville Wilbur and their sister Katherine. The three were devoted to one another and planned on living together. In fact when Katherine announced her plans to marry Orville was devastated and ended up not seeing his sister until she was on her deathbed years later. Adams uses letters and diaries to describe the lives of the Wrights; some of these details are not widely included in other books that focus on their inventions and accomplishments. Adams re-creates the travels of the Wrights. In the end he's a personable guide into the Wright Brothers' world offering a refreshing look at these aviation pioneers. "It takes only nineteen seconds to walk the distance of the first powered flight. But when I was there the wind was up and cold on my face and I felt as if I'd entered the black-and-white photograph I'd been seeing all my life. The sand is light gray there's a spill of surf in the distance. Wilbur running at the right of the plane and Orville the pilot are in dark suits. The propellers blur against the sky as the machine rises. . . ." So begins Noah Adams's adventure in search of Wilbur and Orville Wright a journey that takes him across the country as he follows in the footsteps of the famous brothers in an attempt to know them more deeply not just as inventors and pilots but as individuals as well. Adams one of our most distinctive and talented storytellers traveled thousands of miles and interviewed scores of experts and individuals to piece together his story. He finds a local boat captain to ferry him to Kitty Hawk along the same route that Wilbur took in 1900 and spends several days talking with descendants of the families who first welcomed the Wright brothers a century ago and helped them conduct their gliding experiments. To experience first-hand the thrill of being in the air Adams himself goes hang-gliding in the Outer Banks. To understand the aerodynamics of lift and drag and how the famous 1903 plane was constructed he visits Ken Hyde a Virginia pilot and vintage aircraft builder who is creating the world's most accurate reproduction of the 1903 Wright Flyer. Adams goes to the prop shop and handles the tools and materials that the Wrights used to build their gliders and planes and later he visits the wind tunnel at Langley Air Force Base where Hyde's reproduction was tested for the first time. He also travels to France to visit the old racetrack at Le Mans where Wilbur startled the European aviation community with his demonstration flights in 1908 and he spends a few days at Wisconsin's Oshkosh Fly-in where builders of experimental aircraft and owners of vintage planes gather every year to dazzle the crowds. Adams himself takes to the air in a restored Ford Tri-Motor America's first airliner which took its maiden flight seventy years ago. In Adams's book we encounter the Wright brothers in a way that no writer has introduced them before. Through the lens of his own experiences as well as original reporting letters diaries and other primary source material he helps us understand the talent and intensity of the brothers and their family including the fascinating deeply complex and at times tragic bond between Orville and Katharine his younger sister. The Flyers is a wonderfully rich narrative that brings an unprecedented spirit of immediacy to one of history's most dramatic stories. Crown Publishers [a Division of Random House] hardcover
