Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 – August 26, 1974), nicknamed Slim, Lucky Lindy, and The Lone Eagle, was an American aviator, author, inventor, military officer, explorer, and social activist. In 1927, at the age of 25, Lindbergh emerged from virtual obscurity as a U.S. Air Mail pilot to instantaneous world fame as the result of his Orteig Prize-winning solo nonstop flight from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France. He flew the distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km) in a single-seat, single-engine, purpose-built Ryan monoplane, Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh was the 19th person to make a Transatlantic flight, the first being the Transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown from Newfoundland in 1919, but Lindbergh's flight was almost twice the distance. The record-setting flight took 33 1 2 hours. Lindbergh, a U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve officer, was awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic exploit. I In his later years, Lindbergh became a prolific prize-winning author, international explorer, inventor, and environmentalist. More

Underlining noted. Derived from a Kirkus review: Partly a survey of the island's history and partly a description of the current situation of Puerto Ricans on the mainland, this book has nationalism as its theme, and colonial oppression as connecting emphasis. Lopez shows that Puerto Rico has never had a full-blown native ruling stratum with a strong potential for national independence. His own ultimate solution for the island remains quite unclear: strategically, his focus is on Puerto Ricans in U.S. cities; their sufferings from unemployment, low-wage and low-skill employment, and discrimination he documents very well. He sees Puerto Rican politicians here exploiting nationalist and ethnic sentiment in the same way he says Munoz Marin did on the island;. Though Lopez is critical of some aspects of traditional Puerto Rican culture, especially the machismo syndrome, and ready to acknowledge that a political program is necessary, he tends to fall back on ethnic pride and cultural revival as the key to change. And, though he looks back with severity on the War on Poverty, he skirts the issue of ""community control"" and its ramifications. Yet, as a leftist as well as a Puerto Rican nationalist, he at least raises the issue of narrow nationalism vis-a-vis working-class organizing as a whole. The book is best taken as a significant expression of the crisis of nationalist thought, rather than a coherent manifesto. More

He is best known for "pioneering the study of environmental history". In 2000 he published Something New Under the Sun: An Environmental History of the Twentieth-Century World, which argues that human activity during the 20th century led to environmental damage on an unprecedented scale. His tone has been praised for its being dispassionate, impartial, and lacking the moral outrage that often accompanies books about the environment. In 1985 he became a faculty member at Georgetown University, where he serves in both the History Department and the Walsh School of Foreign Service. In 2003 he held the Cinco Hermanos Chair in Environmental History and International Affairs, until he was appointed a full university professor in 2006. He has held two Fulbright Awards, a Guggenheim fellowship, a MacArthur Grant, and a fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson Center. He was president of the American Society for Environmental History (2011–13) and headed the Research Division of the American Historical Association, as one of its three Vice Presidents (2012–15). He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017, awarded the Heineken Prize in History in 2018, and served as President of the American Historical Association in 2019. More

William Hardy McNeill (October 31, 1917 – July 8, 2016) was a historian and author, noted for his argument that contact and exchange among civilizations is what drives human history forward, first postulated in The Rise of the West (1963). He was the Robert A. Millikan Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Chicago, where he taught from 1947 until his retirement in 1987. In 1947, McNeill began teaching at the University of Chicago, where he remained throughout his teaching career. He chaired the University's Department of History from 1961 to 1967, establishing its international reputation. During his tenure as chair, he recruited Henry Moore to cast a bronze statue called Nuclear Energy commemorating the University of Chicago as the place where the world's first manmade nuclear chain reaction took place in 1942. In 1988 he was a visiting professor at Williams College, where he taught a seminar on The Rise of the West. According to John W. Boyer, the University of Chicago's Dean and a former student of McNeill's, McNeill was "one of the most important historians to teach at the University of Chicago in the twentieth century". From 1971 to 1980, he served as the editor of The Journal of Modern History. His Plagues and Peoples (1976), was an important early contribution to the impact of disease on human history. In 1982, he published The Pursuit of Power, which examined the role of military forces, military technology, and war in human history. More

Norbert Muhlen was a staunch opponent of Nazism who wrote many books on postwar Germany. Mr. Muhlen's best-known work was probably ''The Incredible Krupps: The Rise, Fall and Comeback of Germany's Industrial Family,'' published in 1959. Twenty years earlier, in another study of Germany's financial leaders, he had written ''Hitler's Magician: The Life and Loans of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht,'' a biography of the German financier and banker. He wrote widely for both German and American readers on the development of postwar Germany's relations with other parts of the world. Besides being a correspondent for German periodicals in the United States, Mr. Muhlen wrote for such American journals as Commentary, The New Leader, Reader's Digest and National Review. More
