Paul, Foreword by Rey Sotelo ISBN 978-0-7643-7105-9 The Indian Motorcycle Company, based in Gilroy, California, revived and renewed an iconic brand. Indian Motorcycle was once the largest and best-known bike company in the world but ceased manufacture in 1953, permanently. Forty-six years later, the Indians of Gilroy brought the brand back. Although the company survived for just five years (1999–2003), it was responsible for resurrecting the Indian brand into a single legal entity after years of other abortive attempts at rival and the resulting chaos. The launching of the Gilroy operation amid fierce legal competition from other groups, its struggle to develop an all-Indian motorcycle, its hand-to-mouth operation, and its final collapse is a fascinating story. The 13,000 motorcycles built at Gilroy have a cult following. This is the only comprehensive, illustrated history of the Gilroy Indian motorcycles. It also provides an intimate look at the short, tumultuous life of the business behind the bikes. George F. Paul is a speech pathologist by trade. His passions include vintage phonographs, about which he has authored several books, and motorcycles. He lives with his family in western New York state.

The 777 was the first Boeing airliner to be designed using digital software, and the first to utilize "fly-by-wire" controls. Such innovations were incubated by and executed through a leadership and management system dubbed "Working Together." In the creation of this work, author Dan Dornseif enjoyed the collaboration of many individuals directly involved with the airplane's development and operation, including Alan Mulally, who was Boeing's director of engineering and general manager of the 777 project. This book is written for experts and laymen alike and includes more than 400 photos and diagrams. This is Dan Dornseif 's fourth book on jet airliners with Schiffer Publishing. With more than 20,000 hours of flight time, he is a pilot and captain for a major American carrier. When he is not flying jetliners, he enjoys spending time with family, flying antique aircraft, and scale modeling. He lives in Florida.
