From dust jacket: The great story of aviation and the direction in which it is going is the story of our future -- a future which will be written in terms of either winged peace or winged death. It's a story which few men could tell with the authority and conviction of 'Billy' Bishop. Bishop learned aviation the hard way. In the cockpit of a World War I flying crate he became the greatest Allied ace by destroying 72 German aircraft. In the years between the wars, he remained actively interested in aviation -- both military and commercial -- and kept a wary eye on the growing air might of Germany, which he was sure we would have to fight again. When World War II broke, Canada became the heart of Britain's air-training and air-transport system, and 'Billy' Bishop has played a vital role in this great program. Now, at the climax of his career, he has undertaken a new job and rendered what may well be his greatest service to aviation. He has poured into an utterly fascinating book the past, the present and -- most of all -- the future of flight. He has told the story of aviation from Kitty Hawk to the B-29 Superfortresses, much of it in terms of his personal experiences. He shows us how our world has already been changed geographically, socially, economically, politically; how these changes will be either for great good or for desperate evil. He makes us aware of the new world map with its limitless directions and its textbook-shattering implications. He shows us the new routes over which we will either trade or fight, find peace or destruction. Through all of Bishop's stirring account, written with burning urgency, runs a zeal to make us understand the realities of world aviation today. The proved possibilities of stratospheric flight, rocket and jet-propulsion, have already rendered every plane now in the air obsolete. New York to London in three hours is assured. Tomorrow's air age is here! Aviation, Aeronautics, Aircraft, Aeroplanes, Air Planes. yslic.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The modern global economy and discipline of economics place mathematical calculation above human concern. However, a re-reading of Boethius The Consolation of Philosophy can positively highlight the contrast in values and spirit of the early medieval European world with our own scientific age.This book discusses the historical and cultural contexts that influenced Boethius writing and explores how Consolation offers a radically different understanding of economic concepts: wealth from inner happiness and virtues, poverty from hoarding outer possessions, self-sufficiency in the greater whole, enlightenment through misfortune, and development as fruition from the Good. These economic considerations resonate with a range of heterodox economic perspectives, such as Ecological and Buddhist Economics. The fundamental revaluations gained through Boethius pose a critique of mainstream neoclassical and neoliberal economics: to consumerism, avarice, growth and technology fetishism, and market rationality. These economic foundations resonate into a time when global crises raise the question of fundamental human priorities, offering alternatives to an ever-expanding industrial market economy designed for profit, and helping to avoid irrevocable socio-ecological disasters.The issues raised and questioned in this book will be of significant interest to readers with concern for pluralist approaches to economics, philosophy, classics, ancient history and theology.The Open Access version of this book, available at , has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
