Danger Up There

Synopsis

In a world where we take to the skies with the expectation of safety and efficiency, this book pulls back the curtain on the hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface of commercial aviation. With the insider perspective of a seasoned airline pilot, it unveils the startling realities of cost-cutting measures, regulatory failures, and human error that compromise the safety of our flights.

Delving into the day-to-day lives of airline pilots, the book exposes the immense pressures they face, the culture of secrecy and intimidation that permeates the industry, and the financial constraints that often override safety concerns. It delves into the consequences of outsourcing maintenance and training, the risks of pilot fatigue and overwork, and the dangers of deferred maintenance, painting a sobering picture of the vulnerabilities that exist within the aviation system.

The book also shines a light on the revolving door between government and industry, the undue influence of lobbyists on safety regulations, and the lack of funding for safety oversight. It exposes the shortcomings of airport infrastructure, the perils of congested airspace and inadequate runways, and the challenges posed by weather and natural disasters.

But this book is not just a litany of problems. It also offers solutions. It calls for a comprehensive approach to safety, emphasizing the need for strong regulation, oversight, and accountability. It highlights the role of the industry in improving safety, the importance of transparency and public engagement, and the vision for a safer future of aviation.

With a blend of personal anecdotes, expert analysis, and a deep understanding of the aviation industry, this book is a wake-up call for anyone who cares about the safety of air travel. It is a must-read for pilots, aviation professionals, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand the risks and challenges of flying.

The Food Diaries

Elizabeth Butel

Eating when you're hungry ... how simple is that? Not so simple for Josie and the friends she met when she took herself off to One Step, the local Overeaters Anonymous Group. She heard about Rachel's extended family, who thought meeting meant eating. She met Christopher who could only stomach one coloured food at a time. There was Olga who used food as an anchor to her past and Dave who was the family's living compost bin. Then there was Tiffany and Monica and finally Perry whose wife had two-timed his stomach as well as his heart. Josie liked to think of her food diaries as one woman's Battle of the Bulge but really it all their stories, she reflected, as she sat down to write that last entry.
With Julie McGregor as Josie, as heard on ABC Radio.

Educating and Strengthening...

Inga Dahlmann

Many dogs, especially those from animal shelters, have not had good experiences in their previous lives and are traumatized or fearful. This often manifests itself in different behaviors in different situations. For example, a dog expresses its fear through aggression on the lead if another dog comes too close, if it encounters cyclists or joggers or a person who wants to stroke the fearful dog. Other dogs are afraid of stairs, being left alone or loud noises. Anxious dogs also try to escape situations and show their fear by curling their tail or putting their ears back. However, some dogs also suffer silently because they can no longer find another way out of their fear.
Do you also have a dog that makes your everyday life difficult? Do you often feel frustrated and don't know how to support and help your dog? Do you suffer every time your dog reacts anxiously and would you like to actively work on giving you and your dog a more relaxed life? Then you are holding a book in your hand that will help you to understand your dog, his fears and his behavior in order to find the right way to deal with your anxious dog so that you can experience a more relaxed everyday life together in the future.
