  In this 2022 interview with Justine Willis Toms, long-haul commercial pilot Mark Vanhoenacker opens our vision to a more expansive landscape. He is a seasoned pilot and a brilliant lyrical writer about his journeys as experienced both from the air and on the ground where he chronicles for us some of the planet’s great cities. He is also a regular contributor to The New York Times and a columnist for the Financial Times. 
  He says, “I get to so see so much of the urban world, in particular, and it's a joy for me to share it as best I can… Travel is a miracle and is something that would have amazed almost all humans who have ever lived to be able to travel the way some of us do now.” Vanhoenacker reminds us how magical it is to take to the sky.  
  Mark Vanhoenacker is the author of Skyfaring: A Journey with a Pilot (Alfred Knopf 2015), How to Land a Plane (The Experiment; Illustrated edition, 2019) and Imagine a City: A Pilot’s Journey Across the Urban World (Alfred Knopf/Penguin Random House, 2022)

  Minnesota has a code, don't cha know? 
  Knowing this code is essential for living in the state famous for an accent only the Coen Brothers could replicate. But if you only focused on the accents in Fargo, you might have missed the nuance. 
  After all, there has to be some reason Minnesotans live in a state where winter lasts six months out of the year. What is it? We call it "Minnesota Nice." It permeates all aspects of life, including the way we talk, what we eat, how we entertain guests, the way we practice our faith, and how we enjoy the great outdoors. 
  Do you want to know more—or better yet, know someone in your life who should? Grab a copy today so you can have something to set your coffee mug on. Plus, it's thick enough you'll really annihilate that fly that won't stop buzzing around.

  A journey like no other.
  Acclaimed nature writer Neil Ansell has suffered from progressive hearing loss his whole life. As his world is becoming ever more silent, he suddenly hears something quite unexpected – the haunting call of the great northern diver. It is this extraordinary experience which makes him realise that there might still be remarkable sounds in nature within his reach – if he can only find himself in the right place at the right time.
  This moving book charts Neil's mission to hear rare and elusive creatures that he had not previously encountered. This journey takes him from the mountaintops and islands of the Scottish Highlands to the marshes of England and the hills of Wales.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Carrying out a successful instrument flight not only requires the technical and operational skills to maneuver an aircraft in conditions of reduced visibility or adverse weather, but also requires a set of theoretical knowledge and flight techniques that help minimize the margin of error and try to ensure the success of an instrumental flight. 
  In this new book of the most successful Aeronautical Library in America, we will try to cover all the theoretical and operational technical content to provide each reader with the necessary tools with which they can develop a safe and efficient instrumental flight. 
  Flight physiology, basic and operational theoretical concepts of instrumental flights, basic regulatory concepts and a whole series of recommended techniques to carry out this type of flight without losing sight of the main objective, to operate the aircraft safely. 
  Instrument flight theory is one of the main subjects of the commercial pilot career since it forms one of the most solid pillars that a pilot in training must have.
