When settling down for a long flight, a range of questions may come to mind about some of the unusual aspects of flying. Why is it so important that you are sealed into the aircraft cabin? Surely letting in a little fresh air or stretching your legs out on the wing would make a long flight a little more pleasant. Should you be concerned about the lightning storm in the distance? Why do you feel like a zombie after crossing several time zones? These and many more questions are explored in an easy to read and humorous way. In answering these questions you will be taken on a journey through a range of aviation topics with great care and insight. You will see why the human body is not well adapted to some aspects of flying. These range from issues with low oxygen, low air pressure, g-forces, and radiation levels. You will see why your flight needs to steer clear of a range of hazardous weather conditions. From thunderstorms throwing out massive hailstones, to freezing conditions in the clouds, which are trying to turn the aircraft into an ice block.

Book excerpt: Taking a flight can be exciting, but some aspects of flying can be very puzzling, such as why the wing suddenly grows before take-off, like a magic trick. Or how does the jet engine make so much power to haul huge airliners into the air? Or why aircraft seek out the optimum wind conditions for take-off, even if it means taking you on a tour of the airport. These and many more questions are explored in an easy to read and humorous way. In answering these questions you will be taken on a journey through the evolution of aviation, and you will see how advancements in aircraft design have allowed aircraft to be bigger, faster and safer. You will also explore some unusual questions, like what happens if your airliner tries to blast through the sound barrier, or why flying a few feet above the ground might be the future of air travel. From the author of Answers to Unusual Questions about Flying to Faraway Destinations, this book will help you understand the countless aspects of your flight that work hard to ensure you arrive safely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History and the Social Web was first published in 1955. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. In this volume of twelve essays a distinguished historian demonstrates that the roots and branches of history form a continuous social web, that the events and societies of pasts eras and modern times form a complex and interlocking pattern when seen as a whole, and that a knowledge of history has a profound application to the problems and pleasures of the present. The volume includes the well-known essay, "A City That Art Built," which has long been out of print. The first group of essays is devoted to aspects of medieval and renaissance history, and those in the second section point up the continuity of the thread of world history. The essays on law, education, and medicine which form a part of the first section will be of particular interest to members of these professions.
