Just as the populations around the Mediterranean developed and evolved a life-sustaining diet for the body, they have also been grounded in a spirituality which has fed their inner being for millennia. This in no way diminishes what other regions and societies around the world have contributed. However, the Mediterranean has a unique place historically, geographically, politically, and spiritually. It is also well-documented, and archaeologists continue to unearth fragments of its rich history.

One hundred years. Four wars. A singular devotion to the sky.

Raised on a New York farm during the Great Depression, Charles Cone transformed a childhood dream into a century of service. From the cockpit of Navy training planes in World War II to the high-stakes missions of Korea, Vietnam, and the Cuban Missile Crisis, Cone's life mirrored the evolution of American aviation.

But the story doesn't end in the clouds. This memoir captures the daily friction of military life and the quiet endurance of a family waiting on the ground. Told with technical clarity and deep restraint, Burning Desire to Fly is a firsthand record of what it means to answer a lifelong calling-and the discipline required to stay airborne.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationship between human behaviour and transportation systems.It examines how individual psychology intersects with mobility patterns, revealing the complex factors that drive our daily travel decisions and interactions on the road.

The Psychology of Traffic

Based on Paul von Fange's monumental book, Scenicruising: The Greyhound Scenicruiser Story, this book focuses on Greyhound's second post-war attempt in 1949 at a larger capacity highway cruiser called GX-2. Hand-built by Greyhound engineers in Chicago, its dramatic deck-and-a-half silhouette would become a visual icon. And its name, Scenicruiser, would grace the fleet to come. It sported windows in the roof, an 8-seat lounge in the rear with leather seats and a table, an on-board restroom and seated 43 passengers in panoramic splendor. Its success paved the way for the flagship of the fleet - the Greyhound Scenicruiser.

Managing Aviation Operations

Airports are dynamic infrastructure assets and organisations, which are subject to constant change as a result of increasing traffic, ownership changes, environmental, economic, safety and technological changes. Customers (airlines, passengers and freight organisations) and stakeholders (government, community) also put pressure on airports to change.This book examines the pressures to change faced by airports of different sizes, from small community airports to intercontinental mega-hubs, and will help readers to understand and anticipate the changes which will happen at airports with which they are involved. The objective of this book is to look at the broad value chain of airports and the roles of the various players within the value chain, examining how airports can manage their staff, stakeholders and customers, the ways in which governance and staffing models can be evolved to cope with the emerging challenges faced by the industry, and risks faced by airports, together with mitigation approaches. Each chapter ends with a series of questions which can be applied when considering a specific airport. The key target users of those questions are board members and investors, who need to grill management to ensure that they fully understand and appreciate the airport under consideration, but the questions will also be useful prompts for any reader of the book.This book has, therefore, been written for the person who is starting to work in or for the airport industry - as an airport employee, a board member, a regulator, a supplier of equipment or services to airports, an investor in airports, anyone engaged in non-aviation work such as airport retail or property development, or an airline staff member who has to deal with airports as a user.
