|  | Rain Forest by Helen Cowcher
Set in a South American rain forest, this book begins by introducing the animals who live there happily--until they are forced out of their homes by the arrival of humans who plan to destroy the forest and develop the land. When a rainstorm arrives, the animals safely retreat to higher ground, but without trees to hold the soil in place, the men and their machines are soon forced away by the flood. Illustrated with colorful paintings. AUTHOR: Helen Cowcher

 | Vintage Russian by Colin Ballantine
During the Cold War years from the mid-1950s through 1980, some intrepid enthusiasts did manage to photograph Eastern Bloc aircraft. Australian Colin Ballantine was one such person, and this book features many of his rare and unusual images. In addition to now-famous Russian jetliners and Tupolev aircraft, Ballantine captured on film many lesser-known airplanes during his clandestine photographic sorties into the Soviet Union.
