George L., Ph.D. Donohue, Russell D., III, Ph.D. Shaver

Amer Inst of Aeronautics &, 2008

Great book in which ATC is but one part of the problem
As a daughter of an ATC veteran, I know what I am talking about. Yesterday, one review of this book appeared in which ATC/NATCA took some knocks. What did they do? Same thing they always do, deflect responsibility and attack the messenger. So all of a sudden, 4 ...

Behind the metal doors
If you have ever watched and enjoyed television shows about the inside workings of crab-fishing boats in Alaskan waters, or any of the many other shows such as about what goes on behind the scenes at airports, you will love this book. The author has a wry sense of ...

If Read on a Cruise, You May Get Dirty Looks

Ss United States

Turner Publishing Company (KY), 2002

Excellent historical information on the SS United States!
A very thorough book on an icon of United States maritime history to add to any collection. There is a lot of information that you don't find in other books written on the ship. It focuses anywhere from the planning put into the ship, the glory years, and the sad final ...
  
  











  



  
Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships : Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg
Dick Hg

Smithsonian, 1992

One of the best.
One of the best airship books written as the author was directly involved in all aspects of the zeppelin program. No book written so far exceeds this one in illuminating the operations and organization of the passenger airship effort. Pictures never before seen are ...
  
  











  



  
The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland
Jim Defede

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

The Day he World Came to Town:9/11 in Gander, Newfoundlan
Most amazing book I've read. Most Americans were unaware that all of incomming flights at the time of the bombings were diverted to the nearest airports not within USA borders. This story is wonderful and shows how the human race really cares about one another. It ...
  
  











  



  
Dexter in the Dark: A Novel
Jeff Lindsay

Doubleday, 2007

Happy departure
First off, if you like the dexter TV series, this book may not be for you. If you like the lovable Dexter who claims he's not human, but still loves, cares, and has honest true feelings for his sister and a few other characters, this ABSOLUTELY is not for you. This ...
  
  











  



  
The Mayflower and Her Passengers
Caleb H. Johnson

Xlibris Corporation, 2006

Like a reference book on the Mayflower but readable too
If you want information about the Mayflower passengers, this is the best book for that I have seen. It is not a history of the Pilgrims but rather a series of about 50 biographies on all the Mayflower families, each bio is anywhere between 1 to 20 pages. It is full ...
  
  











  



  
English Passengers: A Novel
Matthew Kneale

Anchor, 2001

Very Good Book
This is one of the best and wittiest books I have read, dealing with "benign" colonialism. The British, in the name of "saving the natives" managed to eradicate the whole population of Tasmania. True comedy always has the element of the tragic in it as this book ...
  
  











  



  
Caribbean Ports of Call: Eastern and Southern Regions, 7th: A Guide for Today's Cruise Passengers (Caribbean ...
Kay Showker

GPP Travel, 2008
  
  











  



  
American Passenger Train
Mike Schafer

MBI, 2001

another hit by Mike Schafer
Another good book about Mike Schafer, very comprehensive but in my opinion a bit unsatisfactory about interurban trains that played a key role in moving people around for over 40 years in the whole America
  
  











  



  
Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited (Great Passenger Trains)

The Illustrated Story of a Famous Passenger Train
There was a time when the railroads cared about passenger travel. and the Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited was prime evidence. The ads said a lot, 'The Best Equipped Train in the World.' Of course you might get a bit of an argument from the New York Central's ...
  
  











  



  
RMS Queen Elizabeth 2: The Last Great Liner
Janette McCutcheon

Tempus, 2007

RMS Queen Elizabeth 2: The Last Great Liner
The book is compact and soft cover which allows for easier reading. It has a great collection of pictures which take the ship from construction to the present day. Commodore Ronald Warwick (retired) has given much history and personal insight into the ship. We have ...
  
  











  



  
Lake Boats: The Enduring Vessels of the Great Lakes
Greg McDonnell

Boston Mills Press, 2007

Amazing Photography
This is a beautiful book, and well worth the money for those who are interested in the subject matter. I bought this for my husband. He says there are only about four pages of text in the book, but he loves the photography.
