  If you have ever wondered what a transportation safety investigation looks like from the inside, or aspire to be an accident investigator yourself, this book is for you. 
  Nearly four decades ago, I transitioned from being a full-time pilot to become a professional aircraft accident investigator. In my work solving aircraft accidents, I have two main missions – to provide valid information to the loved ones who are left to grieve – and to put in place safety barriers that will prevent another similar accident. 
  Despite the often traumatic and stressful circumstances that surround investigations, I have never lost my positive outlook on life, or my sense of humour. I love to share funny happenings and stories – doing so has helped sustain me and my fellow investigators through some tragic events. 
  You might already know me from my media appearances, or maybe from seeing my analysis of the disappearance of MH370 – I wrote about that in my previous book, MH370: Mystery Solved. But you don’t know much about what brought me to the point where I could write that book, or about the life experiences that shaped me both personally and professionally. Soon, you will. 
  This book is the personal story of my life as an air crash investigator. I hope you learn from it, and I hope you have a laugh (or maybe a dozen) in the process.

  How Not to Get Shot - And Other...

  A cutting satire of race relations in the age of Trump and Black Lives Matter from the hugely popular comedian—one of ""The Original Kings of Comedy""—and author of the New York Times bestseller Black Man, White House. 
  ""White people are always giving out ‘helpful’ advice, such as: ‘Comply with the police and you won’t get shot.’ They’ve been doling out advice to black people ever since ‘I suggest you pick the cotton if you don’t like getting whipped.’ Not getting shot by the police has long been a problem for black people. Even when we had a black president! Now that we have a new set of overlords, with President Trump at the head, wouldn’t it be nice to get a little advice on how not to get shot?"" 
  From the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump to the tragic events of Ferguson and Charlottesville, the subject of race has come to the forefront of American consciousness. Legendary satirist D. L. Hughley offers his own cutting observations on this contentious issue that continues to traumatize the nation, a wound made more painful by the ongoing comments and actions of the 45th president. 
  Hughley uses humor to draw attention to injustice, sardonically offering advice on a number of lessons, from ""How to make cops feel more comfortable while they’re handcuffing you"" and ""The right way to wear a hoodie"" to ""How to make white food, like lobster rolls"" and ""Ten types of white people you meet in the suburbs."" 
  How Not to Get Shot is a much-needed antidote in these distressing times.

  This nineteenth-century American cookbook is a comprehensive guide to traditional American cooking by one of the era’s more prolific food writers. 
   
  Originally published in 1857, Miss Leslie’s New Cookery Book set a new standard in American cookbook publishing. This comprehensive recipe collection of over 650 pages with 1,000 recipes contains dishes ranging from American fried chicken and southern veal stew to continental favorites like Italian pork and West Indian fried bananas. Every recipe was tested by the author, and all were original to the book. Leslie was a marvelous food writer whose strongly stated opinions about cooking techniques and ingredients provided sensible advice to American cooks who had long suffered from the poor directions in continental cookbooks and from the differences in European kitchens and utensils. Her publisher proclaimed this “the most complete Cook Book in the world.”  
   
  This edition of Miss Leslie’s New Cookery Book was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts, founded in 1812.
