    I have told this story to friends of a friend, this urban legend. I will start by saying thatSeptember had never been so tired as it was in 1945.It was God's will, the town lacking a legalized draft in the midst of war. It was always peacetime, so sayeth the law, the law held as word. Telly and Mckenzie, tutor and student, spent their days speaking of artistic rituals and arguing opinions. Telly was reluctantly coming to term with the fact that he would never be as good an artist as Mckenzie. Instead, he took jobs at community colleges and wrote himself into plays, never expressing another desire. Mckenzie was turning eighteen, a dangerous age for most, but not for him. Not in that safe environment where nothing could hurt him.They also said that a teenage boy wants nothing but heroics. But with no draft, no machine guns, no mud tracks, dead friends, or bombs, it felt like peacetime.There was no draft, but there were volunteers.At turns both allegorical and lyrical, Hannah Duffy's debut captures the world at a time of upheaval and uncertainly through the eyes of two young men.

    Aerospace physiology (also known as flight or aviation physiology, human factors, or aeromedical factors) is the scientific discipline studying the effects of flight conditions on human physiological and cognitive systems teaching aviators to work and function at peak efficiency in the abnormal environment of flight. This information is introduced to pilots throughout their training and includes hypoxia, spatial disorientation, visual illusions, fatigue, trapped gases, and many others. Unfortunately, all of these issues still create incidents and accidents for pilots on a regular basis even today. The reason for this disparity is pilots may know about the information but fail to understand it completely. This book will transform a pilot's potential misinterpretation of this subject matter into definitive action on the flight deck.The most current, authoritative, and comprehensive resource on this critical subject is Aerospace Physiology: Aeromedical and Human Performance Factors in Aviation (Second Edition). This book provides professional-grade information for enhancing safety-of-flight for all pilot experience levels. The book was written for use in academic settings and is currently the preferred text on flight physiology for the world-renowned University of North Dakota's John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, plus other university aviation programs.The book's twenty-two chapters follow a logical presentation format, with each chapter thoroughly discussing the topic in understandable language, followed by core competency questions. Each topic details the environmental causes, potential physiological & cognitive responses, plus effective and proven anticipation & mitigation strategies. The book uses the most recent research and experience-based information combined with current aviation incidents and accidents that illustrate how these issues present themselves in realistic flight environments, followed by discussions on how those events may have been prevented. The information in this book is based on Mr. Martin's thirty years of military and civilian aviation experience, as well as modeled after the US Air Force's Physiological Training Program for pilots and the comprehensive European Union Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) flight physiology human performance standards.Using Aerospace Physiology: Aeromedical and Human Performance Factors for Pilots (Second Edition) as your learning or teaching resource will elevate your standard of training to its highest levels. The book is essential for all student pilots, certified flight instructors, and licensed private and professional pilots.

There has never been, nor will there ever be, a woman born with the strength of character, courage, and faith of the Virgin Mary. Mary endured the pain and sorrow of watching her Son die at the foot of His Cross; a death that saved all of us from our sins and gave us the promise of Eternal Salvation. Mary's patience, perseverance, humility, and devotion to her family continues to set the standard for all mothers. Throughout history, our Virgin Mother has interceded on behalf of her Son to remind all of us that only through prayer and devotion to Jesus can our world be saved. As we endure this disordered secular world today, we all need to turn to our faith and ask our Blessed Mother to intercede for all of us us to win our spiritual battle. This little book covers all aspects of Mary's impact on our Christian faith and, hopefully, will enhance your prayer life and faith.
