  Due to the constant technological advancements in the aeronautical industry, the growth of all airports in the world is constant. An airport is home to every pilot, his own home, his personal space, his workplace and as such he must know it perfectly to maximize air operations and ensure safety in them. 
  	 
  	In this new work from the Aeronautical Library, our airline pilots, writers presently, share all their experiences in airports around the world and shed their knowledge into this book to emphasize the most important points that every pilot should know about an airport. 
  	 
  	Whether the pilot operates at a small airport or has the opportunity to operate at the largest airports in the world, there are certain points in common between these two types of airports, which, however distant they may seem, respond to the same structure and organization. 
  	 
  	Symbols, posters, lights, marks on the surface, equipment, plans, personnel, absolutely everything that a pilot should know about an airport can be found in the pages of this work.

  Play It Right - The Remarkable...

  A real-life underdog tale of one man turning the tables on the casinos and Wall Street without selling his soul to the devil
  		 
  All around the world, the words “Wall Street” conjure up a powerful image. For some, it is the center of America’s capitalist system and the engine of its economic growth. For others, it is the home of rapacious bankers and reckless traders whose greed would lead to a global financial crisis. For an Indian-born blackjack player, Wall Street represented something else entirely — a chance for him to play in the largest casino in the world.
  		 
  Kamal Gupta’s improbable journey, from a wide-eyed Indian immigrant to an ultimate insider in the rarefied world of investment banks and hedge funds, is a uniquely American story. Nowhere else would it have been possible for a scrawny computer scientist to enter the world of high finance solely on the basis of his gambling abilities. After spending seven years creating an investment methodology, Gupta went on an incredible run, generating an unprecedented 103 consecutive months of positive returns while managing money at large hedge funds. His success did not go unnoticed, and he found himself under constant pressure to take bigger risks to make even more money. He refused and always played it right, knowing that there was such a thing as “enough” money, something very few, if any, of his Wall Street peers understood.
  		 
  Much like Maria Konnikova’s bestseller, The Biggest Bluff, Play It Right isn’t so much about money as it is about the human condition and beating the odds, whether at a casino, on Wall Street, or in life itself.

  'Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.'
  
  First published in 1897, Following the Equator is Mark Twain's fascinating travelogue recounting his journey across the British Empire.
  
  Written with satirical flair and insightful social commentary, Following the Equator sees Twain's epic journey across South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and Australia. Initially undertaken to avoid bankruptcy, providing lectures in English to keep him afloat, Twain's travels soon evolve into an opportunity for profound reflection, as he delves into the local inhabitants, flora and fauna, politics, food and cultural customs of each country he visits. Including fictional interludes featuring Cecil Rhodes and how he made his fortune, as well as Cornelius Vanderbilt and a forged letter of introduction, Twain's brilliantly unique travelogue remains a charming romp across the globe.
  Mark Twain (1835 – 1910), the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American writer and essayist. Famed for his wit and satire, he quickly became a sought-after writer and speaker, and was labelled the 'greatest humorist the United States has produced' by the New York Times. Today, he is considered as the father of modern American literature.
