Join us Tuesday, March 7 at 6:30 p.m. as we welcome Scott McGaugh to the store to discuss and sign "Brotherhood of the Flying Coffin". This event is free to attend and will be held at DIESEL, A Bookstore in Del Mar The first major history of the American glider pilots, the forgotten heroes of World War II, by New York Times bestselling author Scott McGaugh. A story of no guns, no engines and no second chances. This book distills war down to individual young men climbing into defenseless gliders made of plywood, ready to trust the towing aircraft that would pull them into enemy territory by a single cable wrapped with a telephone wire. Based on their after-action reports, journals, oral histories, photos and letters home, "The Brotherhood of the Flying Coffin" reveals every terrifying minute of their missions. They were all volunteers, for a specialized duty that their own government projected would have a 50 percent casualty rate. None faltered. In every major European invasion of the war they led the way. They landed their gliders ahead of the troops who stormed Omaha Beach, and sometimes miles ahead of the paratroopers bound for the far side of the Rhine River in Germany itself. From there, they had to hold their positions. They delivered medical teams, supplies and gasoline to troops surrounded in the Battle of the Bulge, ahead even of Patton's famous supply truck convoy. These all-volunteer glider pilots played a pivotal role in liberating the West from tyranny, from the day the Allies invaded Occupied Europe to the day Germany finally surrendered. Yet the story of these anonymous heroes is virtually unknown. Here their story is told in full – a story which epitomizes courage, dedication and sacrifice. Scott McGaugh is a veteran journalist and published author of "Honor Before Glory", the New York Times bestseller "Surgeon in Blue, Battlefield Angels and Midway Magic". "Midway Magic" became the basis for a History Channel program, "Hero Ship: The USS Midway", featuring the author and "Honor Before Glory" is in development as a feature film. McGaugh served as the founding marketing director of the USS Midway Museum in San Diego, the most visited floating ship museum in the world. Television appearances have included the History Channel, Travel Network and Discovery Channel, among others. Radio appearances have included NPR’s Weekend Edition.

Join us for a light-filled healing night on your yoga mat! Divine Light healing works deep in the aura to initiate physical, mental, and emotional transformation and spiritual upliftment in every area of life. It increases self-reliance and self-confidence, helps release past traumas and negative habits, accelerates the development of talents and abilities, and increases harmony in relationships. The theme for this healing night is The Art of Self-Compassion. One definition of compassion is the ability to see the Divine in everyone we meet. Yet, to recognize the Divine in others, we must first discover it within ourselves. True self-compassion is the opposite of selfishness — as we deepen self-compassion, our compassion for others also naturally grows. What are the obstacles to self-compassion in yourself? In what ways are you challenged to care for yourself at a spiritual level? We'll start this healing night with a short discussion on self-compassion, then work with Divine Light to deepen the self-compassion already present within you. Neil Mintz is a certified Divine Light Teacher and Healer at Spiritual Arts Institute. He has intensively studied metaphysics for the past 12 years, and explored a variety of meditation and healing techniques before discovering Divine Light healing and the spiritual teachings at the Institute. Neil currently facilitates most of the group healing nights at Spiritual Arts Institute. He takes an accessible and inclusive approach to healing events, with a focus on bringing the mystical into the forms of everyday life. Stay Connected on Facebook
