Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ever since man has taken to the air, flight has exerted a strong, almost irresistible, appeal on many to follow a life of flying-not only to allow it to be more than just a hobby, but to make it one's avocation. Many who have followed this call have written of this journey and how they pursued the v…arious forms of flying - their first flight, their first job flying for hire, and a look back at their career.In The Outer Whorl, Essays by an Airline Pilot, Neal Schier takes a slightly different tact in recounting his pursuit of flying, because paradoxically, flight itself was just one of the attractions that led him to follow the call that so many before him had heeded. His path was not the simple, almost linear progression, which has marked many aviators' careers. Neal, in a continuum of twenty related essays, examines the unease of a quotidian life in a sterile office and the desperation that set in at a young age to pursue something outside of a normal career path. To see the world and learn of one's strengths and weaknesses while forging a profound appreciation for his fellow crew members.Through this pursuit came a deep appreciation for the allure inherent in aviation and a respect for the uncertainty that flits and flickers behind the beautiful mask that flight wears. This appreciation extends far beyond just the attraction of flight however, as he charts the admiration of strength and resolve that he finds in his fellow pilots, flight attendants, and other airline employees after the horrors of 9/11-an admiration won by the close work in an airliner's cockpit during hours of fatigue, stress, and challenge.Introspectively, but not solipsistically so, Neal traces his development first as a military aviator and then as a commercial airline pilot. His nontechnical writing puts the reader alongside him in the cockpit as a witness to the mind-set of a pilot as he charts a course around the world-a course that often leads to self-examination and what one learns about self and others. His narrative details what it was like to lose nearly twenty years of work as his airline struggled with bankruptcy and near liquidation. He raises the question if the turbulence of the career was worth the years of sacrifice and dedication and thus, touches on an idea that thousands of the wondering and wandering souls of aviation continue to ask. His reflection and memories bring a surprising answer that is framed from the recurring themes of beauty, appreciation, and admiration.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How does a society absorbed in short-term self-interest, group think, moral confusion, and the cowboy problem change itself In a coffee shop, my friend Dave asked about title of the book I was editing.When I told him, his eyes opened wide and he smiled.'What does that mean to you ' I asked.'Lenin wa…s a revolutionary, a visionary!' he answered, 'but you're proposing a different way to do that.''That's it,' I exclaimed. 'You're the person I'm writing this for. You get it!'He thought a moment and summed up the book: 'You take us on a psychological walking tour through the processes that will bring global change.'The processes are ways people connect, think together, work in groups, and apply their effort to the needs of humans and other living things.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - TALES FROM THE ICE-FREE ZONE, by Robert E. Lee, was seriously and soberly written to inform anyone who might pick up the book about life in the Driftless Area of America's Upper Midwest. Here lies the portion of our country that the great glaciers bypassed, though glacial activity completely surroun…ded it -- on one side at a time -- during at least four advances of the ice sheet. The bulk of this anomaly lies over the southwestern quarter (approximately) of the State of Wisconsin, though its edges slop across state lines into the adjacent corners of the neighboring Sister States of Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. Tracks of the great ice sheets can be seen all around the 'Ice-free Zone' -- with plenty of glacial till of sand, gravel, and boulders in the landscape. The principal signs of glaciation within the Driftless Area lie in the bottoms and on the banks of rivers such as the Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Black Rivers that completely traversed the Ice-free Zone. The beds of such streams are filled with glacial till that was dropped as the melt-water flooding subsided. Such material is dug from gravel pits today and used as the aggregate in the mixing of concrete.On the other side of the glacial coin, it seems reasonable to suppose that much more of the pre-glacial topography adjacent to the Driftless Area must have looked much like the unglaciated terrain does now. Therefore, one might very well say that we have a living museum of ancient landforms right in front of us today. Only the life forms upon it have changed.These life forms are the principal subjects of this book. Here are the flora and fauna, depicted as the author has met them. He sees subjects of interest wherever he goes. Almost all of them are commonplace individuals of ordinary species, yet each one seems to tell a story by doing something that many folks miss. Every individual plant, mammal, bird, amphibian, or reptile has its own individuality and beauty, too. And the things that some of them do!Within these pages you will meet the Lone Ranger, The Sandbank Blues, and the Ugly All-American. You will be introduced to an 'Odd Couple' that you have probably never dreamt of before. Their true story could probably be turned into a novel, especially in this era of cartoon style feature films of everything from bugs and chickens to superheros.Read further, and you will learn both when and why 'Pink' is also 'Violet'. You will visit the perfumed ballerina fields of deep summer, and you could also see surprising summer snow.On a hot August afternoon, without a breath of air stirring, you might see a flowering plant doing a wildly gyrating dance -- and, later, find out why! That same evening, with luck, you could hear a loud and clattering 'Midsummer Night's Chorus'-- of what Again, the answer may surprise you.October nights in the Ice-free Zone may bring you the sound of the voice of the 'Hob-goblin of Frosty Nights', a sound that might make your hackles rise. You will find out why this same month came to be called the 'Crazy Moon' and who the 'crazies' are.Get to know why November is likely to have a 'Touch of Scarlet' at a season of the year when the rest of the world is a dull gray.Do you know why December sometimes brings us 'Big Yellow Birds' Or why January is an excellent time to track the Sub-arctic Snow Snake Have you ever met the 'Tiny Terror of the Tabletop' One must really pay attention to see this fellow, but a visit with him is worth your time.Inside information on all of these subjects and many others will be revealed to you if you but open the covers of 'Tales from the Ice-free Zone'. The author is an old hand at spinning a yarn, and there are a lot of those yarns in this book.It should be mentioned that the great majority of the subjects of the stories in this volume are native to the great northeastern section of the United States from Virginia into Canada and west to the 100th Meri.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Stones Stand, Waters Flow is a story of change and endurance.The Perkins farm, where the author spent his boyhood, stood as a silent monument to history. Hancock and Adams had fled there from Lexington, assisted in their escape by a widow, a minister, and a slave. The barn where they stabled their h…orses contained the horse and cow and farm implements of the author's childhood. Their flight path through the family's woods remained a logging trail and a favorite childhood playground. Perkins family lives were colored by history and enriched by legends of English, Scottish, Welsh, French, and Indian ancestors. The period from 1930 to1950 included also the stresses of economic depression, wartime, and a mother's breakdown, as the slow seasons of the past hastened toward the swift transformations of the future.
