Stick and Rudder is the first exact analysis of the art of flying ever attempted. It has been continuously in print for 33 years. It shows precisely what the pilot does when he flies, just how he does it, and why. Because the basics are largely unchanging, the book therefore is applicable to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and to the instructor himself.

How do you improve on the best guide for pilots to learn how to fly in all kinds of weather? The answer is the fifth edition of Weather Flying. Regarded as the bible of weather flying, this aviation classic not only continues to make complex weather concepts understandable for even the least experienced of flyers, but has now been updated to cover new advances in technology. At the same time, this respected text still retains many of its original insights from over four decades of publication, provided by renowned weather flying veteran Robert N. Buck.

Fantastic read

Some of the content could be a bit refreshed since some of the systems mentioned don't seem to exist anymore but the fundamentals taught here are truly useful and I highly recommend this book for all new pilots.

This is the story of a man who embarks on a highly provocative intellectual adventure with a gorilla - a journey of the mind and spirit that changes forever the way he sees the world and humankind’s place in it. In Ishmael, which received the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship for the best work of fiction offering positive solutions to global problems, Daniel Quinn parses humanity’s origins and its relationship with nature, in search of an answer to this challenging question: How can we save the world from ourselves?

My baby daughter was reading it in 9th grade and asked me to read it because she wanted to talk about. I found the book phenomenally good. Human society is explained, in all that is great and awful. I learned a lot and it made me think a lot. I like to think that books like these stay with you for the rest of your life and help filter decisions better. I truly enjoyed it.

Very good read
Revisado: 08-13-22
I followed Dr. Gottlieb after his very interesting daily updates on CNBC. I used his input to help make decisions regarding my business and couldn't wait to read the book. It's sad to read that various Governmental Organizations behaved so badly and without a common purpose, but not surprising. I wonder if one day we can change this or if it's just the normal human condition. I highly recommend this book

Two-time championship-winning and record-breaking racing driver Jason Plato is a living, breathing example of what you shouldn't do if you want to become a professional racing driver. Since joining the Williams Touring Car team in 1997 it's no coincidence that he has had more race wins than Lewis Hamilton and Stirling Moss, competed in more races than Jenson Button and set the largest number of fastest laps ever. But it's also no coincidence that he once spent several days in prison in Monaco for stealing a JCB.

Loved every minute of it. Not a savory character all steps of the way but a pretty honest and funny story about raw talent, grit, and incredible lasting career and a VERY smart business man. I loved it

In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.

Truly an extraordinarily well written story that stood the test of time and is as relevant now as when it came out.

On July 25, 2000, a Concorde, the world's fastest passenger plane, was taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris when it suddenly burst into flames. An airliner capable of flying at more than twice the speed of sound, the Concorde had completed 25 years of successful flights, whisking wealthy passengers - from diplomats to rock stars to corporate titans - between continents on brief and glamorous flights. Yet on this fateful day, the chartered Concorde jet, en route to America, crashed and killed all 109 passengers and crew onboard and four people on the ground.

Mediocre at best
Revisado: 08-13-22
I wanted to get into the details of what happened. This was told in minutes so the hours of the book included peripheral information that is only mildly relevant.
I couldn't stand the sections where every number was converted from meters to feet and the like.
Overall, I consider this to be a mediocre read. An American Airliner dropped a part on a RWY, said part was picked up by the landing gear which sent the part at great force in the fuel tanks and the plane burned... That's about the story I think.
I do not recommend this book

Getting into a top-ranked college has never seemed more impossible, with acceptance rates at some elite universities dipping into the single digits. In Who Gets in and Why, journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a "good college". Hint: It's not all about the sticker on the car window.

Great Book
Revisado: 08-13-22
I was born and studied in Belgium and therefore didn't know much about how the system works.
This really made it very clear to me and the notion between buyers and sellers was a revelation for me.
I highly recommend this book and thank the author for writing it.
