Summary

"Aviation Technology" explores the fascinating world of human flight, delving into the scientific principles and technological innovations that have made aviation possible. The book focuses on three key areas: aerodynamics, propulsion systems, and aircraft structures, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of how aircraft generate lift, propel themselves through the air, and maintain structural integrity under extreme conditions.

 
From the Wright brothers' first powered flight to modern jet engines and emerging electric propulsion technologies, the book traces the rapid advancements in aviation technology over the past century. It presents complex concepts in an accessible manner, using clear language, analogies, and illustrations to explain the delicate balance of forces that enable sustained, controlled flight.

 
The book's unique approach combines technical explanations with real-world applications and future projections, making it valuable for engineering students, aviation professionals, and technology enthusiasts alike. As readers progress through the chapters, they'll gain insights into aircraft design, flight planning, and aviation safety, while also exploring emerging technologies like hypersonic flight and electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles.

 
By addressing ongoing debates in the field, such as the future of supersonic commercial flight and the potential for electric aircraft to reduce aviation's carbon footprint, "Aviation Technology" encourages critical thinking about the future of air travel and inspires curiosity about one of humanity's greatest achievements.

    Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Health-care bias can mean the difference not just between suffering and relief, but between life and death. 
 
 
 
For the first time, an author with the unique perspective of being one of America's top doctors, a woman, and Black, candidly addresses the issue of bias in health care, sharing personal and patient stories and pragmatic solutions. Dr. Angela Marshall, repeatedly named a "Top Doctor" by Washingtonian magazine, draws on extensive research, poignant stories from some of the thousands of patients she has treated, and her own compelling personal experience, to examine the bias from both patients' and health-care providers' points of view. She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. 
 
 
 
Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel so profoundly—that the system is working against them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.

    This book contains the following two titles: 
- The Planning Fallacy: The allure of optimism has been a driving force behind humanity’s greatest achievements. It propels innovation, inspires ambition, and fosters resilience in the face of adversity. Yet, this same optimism can lead us astray, particularly when it comes to planning and executing tasks. The belief that everything will unfold as envisioned, without significant setbacks or challenges, is an enticing illusion. This overconfidence, while comforting, often masks the reality of time and resource constraints, resulting in a phenomenon known as the planning fallacy. 
  
- The Representativeness Heuristic: The representativeness heuristic is one of the most influential concepts in cognitive psychology, profoundly shaping the way individuals make judgments and decisions. First introduced by psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, this heuristic explains how people often assess probabilities and likelihoods based on how closely an event or object resembles a prototype or existing mental model. While this cognitive shortcut can be useful in navigating a complex world, it also introduces biases that distort reasoning and lead to systematic errors.

    Life can hurt, but complete healing is possible. 
We have all been wounded. The pain can hit deep and settle into our bodies and souls. In reaction to our pain, beliefs and patterns emerge that hinder the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through life. Pain slows us down and drains our mental and emotional energy. 
Pain holds us back.  
Modern society provides many opportunities to numb, hide or escape symptoms of pain without addressing the root cause. However, until the source of our pain is identified and remedied, it will stay alive in us, manifesting as physical and emotional pain, toxic thoughts, anxiety, depression, and more. 
Everyone is unique in his or her response to life’s hurts, but as explained in Healing from the Heart:We can recognize our pain and respond in a way that puts us on the path to healing—and keeps us there.Healing happens in layers; each chapter guides us through these layers simply and concisely.Soul Connection questions provide valuable tools to connect us to our own heart at a deeper level while Spirit Connection exercises offer the opportunity to release the pain in prayer.Practical applications empower us to heal from the heart level (the soul), which not only relieves pain but provides the freedom needed to live the abundant life for which we are designed! 
The principles and processes found throughout Dana’s authentic telling of her own journey from pain to wellness have helped hundreds experience the life-changing power of inner healing. Furthermore, Healing from the Heart features a refreshing combination of story, instruction and journaling prompts that lead to the peace and revitalization for which we’ve been searching.  
Healing from the Heart is ideal for group study as well as individual discovery.
