This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In past times, all the adventures experienced by sailors on each ocean crossing were recorded by the captain in his navigation logbook, the captain's logbook, a manuscript carefully written by the highest rank of the boat, written with a pen and guard in his main cabin. In this manuscript, the captain had to write down everything that happened during his trip, a complete adventure manual, for those who would read it in the future. This book will be our captain's blog. A manuscript written by airline pilots, who have shared their stories with us, and want to offer their stories to the world. Each of the stories detailed in this work are real, modifying some data and information to protect the privacy of those who have told them. Accompanied by these flight stories, we will learn the real stories of professional success of some of our colleagues, who have decided to share their own personal stories to show that every dream is possible, even when it is impossible. Cockpit Stories is the first book of the Aeronautical Library that departs from technical teachings and seeks to entertain its readers with fabulous stories lived in the cockpit, where it is presumed that what happens in the cabin, remains in the cabin.Show book
An evocative, lyrical debut memoir from the heart of our vanishing countryside – a story of the solitary life of an eel fisherman and the radical choice to live more in tune with the natural world.Growing up in Herefordshire, Richard Fleming watched the rural world – and the ancient, earth-bound skills of the people who worked it – begin to quietly slip away. Driven by a desire to find what was lost, he packed a rucksack and set out for the edges of the British Isles. His journey carries him from the rugged coast of Connemara, learning to build traditional currach boats, to years spent living by the moonlit rhythms of an ancient silver-eel trap in the West Marches.The Eel Trap is a story of a life lived half on the water and half in the dark, harvesting silver eels as they begin their epic, 5,000-mile migration back to the Sargasso Sea. But when the elver population suffers a catastrophic global collapse, the idyll of an eelman’s life shatters. What begins as a devotion to an endangered craft becomes a fierce, deeply personal awakening.Both an intimate memoir and an elegy for a vanishing natural world, The Eel Trap asks what it means to belong to a landscape rather than possess it – offering a profoundly evocative, hauntingly beautiful refuge for anyone longing to reconnect with the wild.Show book
