|  | Lightning Aces of the ETO - MTO by John Stanaway
The P-38 Lightning was built by Lockheed to fill the need for a high-speed, high-altitude, long-range fighter to escort the expanding B-17 bomber fleet. This volume traces the careers of many previously unknown P-38 aces of the USAAF in Europe, including William J. Sloan and Michael Brezas, who scored 12 kills apiece. It contains first-hand accounts by pilots, 12 pages of specially-commissioned color art, and archival black and white photos. AUTHOR: John Stanaway

 | Tough Choices by Lester Brown
In this title the author uses up-to-the-minute information to respond to the widening gap between world demand for grain and lagging yields of oceanic fisheries and croplands. He proposes steps that can be taken to expand food production and buy additional time to stabilize population, and he also explores opportunities for reducing per-capita consumption which in some societies is conspicuously excessive.
