Fantasy Flight Games, 2008

Terrific RPG in the world of Warhammer 40,000
This roleplay game set in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe is brilliantly produced and is luckily back in print thanks to a deal between Games Workshop and Fantasy Flight Games. The book is hundreds of pages long and filled with high quality color illustrations and background information embellishing the thoughtfully produced roleplay game rules and extensive background information.

Flight: A Novel

55 reviews
Sherman Alexie

Grove Press, Black Cat, 2007

One of Alexie's Best
This book is a personal favorite of mine. Sherman Alexie never ceases to surprise, entertain, or inform me. This story is a fictional work that brings much needed attention to several issues including but not limited to race, class, child abuse, the astonishing rate of alcoholism in native Americans, the struggle many foster children face on a daily basis, the ability of people to be ...

The Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes (Klutz)

The BEST Paper Airplane Book
I am a Science teacher I designed a Science Camp for the school district I work for. One of the days was devoted to the science of flight and we used paper airplanes as models. Originally, I had purchased 4 different paper airplane books (including this one). But, when the time came around and it was 'Paper Airplane Day' during our camp, this was the book I used. The other books were ok, but ...

Will there be a follow-up to AIRMAN? We can only hope so.
"No, Little Saltee is not a place for mirth. No Maypoles nor circus antics. Especially not for Conor Finn...." In the 1800s, Little Saltee, an island off the coast of Ireland, had become widely known to those who were imprisoned there as "Hell." At the age of 14, Conor Broekhart has seen his beloved tutor killed, discovered a conspiracy against the king (who had been like a father to him), and ...

Angels Flight (Harry Bosch)

Michael Connelly

Grand Central Publishing, 2000

Angel's Flight isn't about angels
The Margin I took a short hietus from Connelly's mysteries in favor of Stuart Woods. I like Woods and plan on reading all his work, but recently completed Michael Connelly's Angel's Flight and had to write this review. AF is another well researched police procedural. Mix Harry Bosch, and his down to earth crime fighting perspective, as well as authentic social events of the decade and you have ...

Touching History: The Untold Story of the Drama That Unfolded in the Skies Over America on 9/11

24 reviews
Lynn Spencer

Free Press, 2008

touching history
I wanted to know more of what happened, the goings on behind the scenes right after and beyond the day of 9\11. This book was very enlightening. It answered how the planes were grounded. Why the airspace over Washington was able to be invaded. Either the terrorists were extraordinarily prepared or "lucky" upon picking that day because of the events that the military had scheduled on that day, ...

Microsoft Flight Simulator X For Pilots Real World Training

Jeff Van West, Kevin Lane-Cummings

Wiley, 2007

Make Your Hobby Take Flight !
I think based on the reviews below - you get the drift. Those reviews speak for themselves (and the book). I don't need to repeat every thing noted by the other reviewers. It's a great book and I learned more than I would have ever thought. Don't let the 800 pages scare you off. The diagrams and the tutorial flights are just awesome. I have been flying MSFS since way back in the early ...

Digital Apollo: Human and Machine in Spaceflight

David A. Mindell

MIT Press, 2008

Computers in Space
While this book dwells more on computers than astronauts, it contains details from the actual moon landings that I've never seen published elsewhere. Despite contrary opinions by the astonauts, this book has convinced me that a 100% all-human landing (without computers) was not technically possible. If you liked "Journey to the Moon: The History of the Apollo Guidance Computer" then you'll like ...

Aptitude = Altitude
The ARCO Mikitary Test Tutor is amazing! It really helps, and the practice tests are amazing!

Say Again, Please: Guide to Radio Communications (Focus Series)

Bob Gardner

Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc., 2005

Helping put an end to my mike fright.
Should be required reading for all begining private pilots and some old pros could use it too. Clear and to the point. This will take you beyond just simple communication etiquette. I found the glossary alone to be worth the price of Bob Gardner's book. Communicating clearly makes all of us better and safer pilots.

Raymond E. Feist

Eos, 2007

more midkemia goodness
Feist does it again with this one. if you liked the rest of his works then definitely get this one. otherwise, this is about 20th in the series and not much would make sence. start with Magician: Apprentice first.

The Flight of the Eisenstein (Horus Heresy)

James Swallow

Games Workshop, 2007

A Gripping Series Continues
If you're a fan of 40K, especially the backstory to pivotal events in the history of the Imperium, then you're probably already immersed in this series. Fans of Chaos can find quite a bit to latch onto as well, as this series delves into the 'turning' of some of humanity towards Chaos, as well as the role(s)and faces Chaos plays and takes. This book continues the standards set by the previous ...

How Apollo Flew to the Moon (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration)

10 reviews
W. David Woods

Praxis, 2008

Best of the best
I have over 200 books on the early space program and the race to the moon but this book is by far the best and most detailed I have ever read on just how it was done. I couldn't put it down. If you ever wanted to know, for example, what every abort mode meant during launch or why and how the crew made certain burns during the flight, get this book! It takes the reader from liftoff through ...

Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge: FAA-H-8083-25, December 2003 (FAA Handbooks series)

10 reviews
Federal Aviation Administration

Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc., 2004

A great digest of aviation basics
This book is definitely the best introductory book to the main aviation concepts I ever read. Each issue - from flight static and dynamics to FCS, propulsion, avionics and navigation, weather theory and influence, flight and ground operations - is considered in this book with a technical, but easily understandable, approach. The book is, as a matter of fact, an introduction and, therefore, is ...

Now the Hell Will Start: One Soldier's Flight from the Greatest Manhunt of World War II

12 reviews
Brendan I. Koerner

Penguin Press HC, The, 2008

Victims of Jim Crow
Among the many strange and sad tales of World War II, one of the most peculiar ones is that of Private Herman Perry, who died in the jungles of Burma, one of the Americans sent there for the expensive and doomed Ledo Road that was to link India and China. Perhaps his story has been forgotten because of the futility of that particular expedition; perhaps it was because Perry was executed as a ...

Fantastic!
This book is simply fantastic. Yes, there are some old or simplified opinions, but as for tool for explaining how the airplane flies, invaluable.

Love this book!
I am planning on attending ATP school next year and I find this book to be very informative when I am studying or using the flight simulator. I have used it extensively. needs to have a sturdier binding!
