Amelia Earhart: The Thrill of It "While exploring this season's new large-format books with gift-giving in mind, I've pinpointed a few I believe might offer lasting value in these recessionary times...Though the recent Mira Nair film "Amelia," has been a box-office disappointment, interest endures in aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart and her disappearan...ce in the Pacific on a 1937 around-the-world flight. Was she killed in a crash? Taken prisoner by the Japanese? Did she survive after World War II, living under an assumed name to keep her role as a civilian spy for FDR secret? Those mysteries are addressed in the lavishly illustrated "Amelia Earhart: The Thrill of It" by Susan Wels (Running Press, 208 pp., list price $35). But the book's real focus is on the thrill Earhart experienced defying limits, breaking barriers and following her own path. This may be the perfect book for preteen or teenage girls with similar goals."
