It's a fun read. I like the fact that Yvonne didn't use a co-writer like most celebs. Her words are all her own and she has an excellent vocabulary (though at times, using some pretentious adjectives, I thought; although perhaps this is her usual style of speaking, I dunno.) The most interesting parts of the book to me were her recollections of working on Batman and Star Trek, as well as the guest shots she did on such classic shows as Mod Squad and Dobie Gillis. It's great to have an insider's view of the stars and the shooting conditions, including her Elvis movies and her perspectives on his personality, which were fascinating. Personally, I would have preferred even more of that, especially the Batman days, because Batgirl is what Yvonne is mostly known for - she basically retired from show biz after that. Some of her memories are the same ones depicted by Adam West and Burt Ward in their books (with humorously different perspectives), and her memories of Batman's large list of guest star villains are opinionated but too few and too short. Also there's no annotated episode guide (probably because West did it first, and she was only in the last season) and only a few memories of specific episodes. I expected more of that stuff from her since I believed prior to purchase that the majority of the book would cover Batman. Instead, there are some chapters I didn't find very interesting (about ballet and such) and will skip in the future. To be fair, the word 'ballet' is in the title, after all - but I felt that too many chapters were devoted to things that the majority people who buy this book would not have a large degree of interest in.

Overall, Yvonne conveys the characteristics of being an astute, intelligent, earthy, and ego-free person who is not afraid to tell it like it is (or was) concerning the various celebrities she's worked with (especially Charles Bronson, Rudy Vallee, and William Shatner, all of whom she thought were jerks). Although I must add this: in West's book (and particularly Ward's), they humorously and candidly described a lot of their sexual escapades in those days, being members of "the beautiful elite" as they were at the time (as Yvonne was too), and those risque stories made their books more interesting. That kind of stuff is totally absent from Yvonne's memoirs. She seems to be rather like her Barbara Gordon character - prim and proper, at least as far as kissing and telling, and certainly in her use of 'colorful' language. The raciest she gets is to mention that Adam West once touched her breast, and that she wished Aaron Spelling (of all people) had asked her out! I suppose this is just me 'being a guy' (i.e. shallow), and if so, then Yvonne's book will primarily appeal to women, who probably don't want to hear the risque stuff. Perhaps I had the wrong preconception of what would be in the book, after reading West's and Ward's ego-filled (though entertaining) books and also seeing Yvonne's sexy open-legged cover shot. As it turns out, she's not interested in disclosing the types of things that they did, and she would prefer to talk about her ballet dancing and knitting. But that's fine; it's her book and her life after all, and she perhaps feels that those types of tales would be mere sales gimmicks. Or maybe there's no tales to tell! Anyway, she's candid in all other respects, has an endearing and down-to-earth style of writing, and devotes an adequate amount of time to Batman for the fans. She even divulges personal things like the fact that she can't swim and refers to herself as a "sinker", which I found touching since I'm the same way.

Yvonne's book is a worthwhile purchase and a good late-night read. An additional note: the book (at least my copy) is cheaply bound by Kudu Press. On the second reading, the pages, particularly the picture pages, started to fall out. The book really can't be bent very wide at all without this happening. It's not that uncommon, but a little annoying considering the rather high price for this paperback.

Before opening Yvonne Craig's book "From Ballet To The Batcave And Beyond," I had read all the comments by readers, who had complained that too much of the book dealt with the ballet and with people whom Ms. Craig met while making movies and doing guest appearances on old television shows. Some seemed disappointed that there was nothing risque or "juicy," and that too many chapters were dedicated to subjects in which people who would read an Yvonne Craig autobiography would not be interested. I also read that there wasn't enough in the book about the "Batman" series. So, quite frankly, being a HUGE "Batman" fan, I half-expected to be bored by much, if not most, of this book.
WRONG!
Ms. Craig has such a delightful writing style, intelligence, a great vocabulary and a wonderful sense of humor, that I found the ENTIRE book just a JOY to read. So much so, that I, who know nothing about, and have virtually no interest in, the ballet, found even *those* sections of the book interesting and entertaining. And, although I am not what one might call an "animal lover," I immensely enjoyed her chapter dedicated to the animals in her life through the years.
Even her literary treatments of those individuals in Hollywood of whom she does not or did not seem to think very highly -- Lee Majors, Rudy Vallee, William Shatner, Charles Bronson -- were tasteful, and done with class and just the right amount of humor.

At the risk of sounding corny or something, it is apparent to me that there was once a May day when our Heavenly Father must have been quite pleased with this world, for on that day He gave us a most remarkable and special gift which we call "Yvonne."

Yvonne was as honest and candid as she could be in this book. Not many people writing their autobiography can do so without telling a bunch of "punched up" stories to sell copies. This is a true look at behind the scenes of some of the popular TV shows, and movies of their times. I laughed out loud more than once reading this book, and sure others will too, if the get her humor. How many people are willing to tell about Capt. Kirks "secret", or shed any light (however small) on Howard Huges? I waited awhile to read this one, and find it well worth the wait.

This deeply flawed book is written to promoted expanded gun rights and to counter certain arguments made by gun control advocates. Unfortunately, it is such a poor book that it is unlikely to convince anyone who isn't already on the pro-guns side.

The fundamental problem is that Waters is not a good writer. His numerous stories get tiresome and redundant after a while, and even before then, he is not a great wordsmith. There are also various spelling errors, but this admittedly may be a publisher's issue.

Beyond that, some of the arguments he uses are flaky at best. Trying to prove a case by anecdote is very difficult, and his references to statistics are vague; he has great numbers, but rarely cites the sources. Considering how often the gun rights people dismiss stories that defy their arguments, argument by anecdote is not really valid.

There are plenty of other problems. When commenting on a particular judge, Waters has to throw in some digs about the judge's extramarital affairs as if it somehow makes his judicial decisions weaker; this sort of attack is known as fallacious by any debate student. Further, there are cases where he distorts or alters facts, such as when he ascribes thoughts to particular individuals which he would have no way of knowing.

The world Waters describes has criminals lurking in every shadow. Although he is very careful about not indicating the race of the criminals, he leaves enough hints to imply that they are predominantly black. The victims, on the other hand (especially all the ones pictured) are predominantly white. Thus he feeds into racial paranoia as well.

This is a bad book; not only will it not win any converts, but the gun rights people should be embarassed if this is as good as they can do to argue their side; in fact, it does nothing but make them look like rabid paranoids, an image I'm sure they don't want to have.

Everyone should read this book. I read this and the other Robert Waters book in 2 or 3 days. They are spellbinding and frightening and hard to put down. Even anti-gun people should read this book, even if they don't change their minds. They will get a feel for the suddenness, viciousness, and speed with which normal people can find themselves in a true life and death crime situation. Maybe they will get a dog or check their door locks! There are many messages in these books that have nothing to do with guns, including a deeply flawed criminal justice system that puts violent offenders repeatedly back on the streets, endangering innocent people; the fallout from a severe drug problem, whatever your proposed solutions; the unbelievable irrationality of people on drugs, seemingly oblivious to people complying with their demands; the inability of police to respond fast enough to "protect" people under atack or threat of attack. One reviewer comments on the apparent rascist slant, i.e. whites defending against black criminals. Read both books -- nothing could be further from the truth. The reviewer is reading things into the text that are not there; he is the rascist. He also feels the stories are repetitive. Only in the sense that crime seems out of control; the situations are all strikingly different, and anyone can see themselves clearly in at least some of the victims' situations.

For people who keep firearms for home protection, there are many, many lessons to be learned in these books, including caliber selection, capabilities of senior citizens to defend themselves, the relative ineffectiveness of handguns to quickly stop violent behavior, the problems with trigger locks, and the many benefits that accrued to people who at least mentally, and often physically, prepared for a day they hoped would never come.

Sue Gay lives in South Bend, Indiana, and she is alive today-thanks to her 11-year-old grandson. When Tony "Casper" Murry held a box cutter to Sue's neck one night this February, the fifth grade boy had to think quickly. He ran to an upstairs bedroom to grab a gun and then flew back down the stairs with a .45 in hand. The boy shot one round and hit Murry, 27, in the chest, even though the man was shielding himself with the grandmother.

I remember watching this story unfold in my home town. Every day, good hard-working Americans are saved by guns. Ordinary people who intervene to save themselves from those who place a very low value on human life.

Lets face it: If gun locks where such a great idea, we'd see officers using them on their beats. "If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You pull the trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins," Sammy "the Bull" Gravano (an infamous gangster-turned-informant) says.

In Guns Save Lives, we see several true stories (without the drama, without the glorification) about people who are alive today because of guns. What the gun control advocates aren't telling you about are the countless lives that are saved every day by citizens who put guns to use for good.

Whether your a card-carrying member of The NRA or a hardened anti-gun advocate, you should read this book and hear the stories told by those who lived them.

Why is this book classified under Sikhism. It has increasingly become difficult to look for good Sikh books due to the great number of non-Sikh books in this category.

I bought this book as a textbook for a Life of Christ Class and found it to be an excellent resource. It gives more than you ever wanted to know on a broad range of subjects. An excellent book but not an easy read.

Craig Blomberg has the uncanny ability to take detailed scholarly research and make it readable! This is easily the most interesting textbook I have ever read. As another reviewer mentioned, what you essentially have here is Blomberg's seminary course. The intertestamental and first-century background information alone is worth the price of the book. Blomberg offers a concise treatment of critical methodologies (Historical Criticism and Literary Criticism), and then an eminently readable and interesting intro to the four gospels. Blomberg's survey of the life of Christ is as good or better than anything I have seen. What sets Blomberg's work on Jesus slightly ahead of that of Robert Stein (Jesus the Messiah) is, again, readability. Blomberg offers a chapter on the external evidence for the reliability of the gospels which seems to be basically a summary of his work from 1987 (Historical Reliability of the Gospels). He sums up this great work with a challenging look at the theology of Jesus.

This is a masterpiece from a scholar who is more interested in making sure that we can read and understand the fruit of his work than he his is in being praised by other scholars. Thanks, Professor Blomberg.

Pick the right premises and you can prove anything. All universes are ultimately, if not proximately, random vacuum fluctuations. No information is passed, so they are not "caused". The first premise is therefore false. That said, the book becomes a decent argument against the existence of a single god, but I can do better, faster, without quoting Aquinas or any other philosopher.

The other reviews here are quite comprehensive, so it will be difficult to add something new. However, I will try.

I have seen Craig in debate numerous times, read one of his other books ("Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics) and he is the best intellectually respectable defenders of Christianity alive today. Comparing his debates to this book shows that Craig has a wide range and knows how to argue at a level appropriate to his audience. Craig can talk to the interested public and academic philosophers alike. This book definitely falls into the second category (Craig did his first Ph. D on it) and it is aimed at those who want a comprehensive defense of this one particular argument for God's existence.

The book is divided into two main sections. A historical review of the argument as it was originally presented by various Islamic philosophers about a thousand years ago starts the book. I found most of the arguments here comprehensible because Craig had the foresight to put the arguments into a chart, so that you can visually see the progression of the ideas. For most readers, this material will be completely new. Islamic philosophers are rarely covered in first year university and courses on such topics are few and far between.

The second section is the modern defense of the kalam cosmological argument. Craig arguments are of two types; philosophical (using mathematics as his evidence) and scientific or empirical (using astronomy and physics as his evidence). The mathematics arguments are extremely difficult to follow and I think most readers will only understand parts of it. Some of his observations are as follows; even if an actual infinite exists in mathematics, it is generally thought that mathematical concepts have no concrete existence (this is something of a simplification, but that is unavoidable in the space available), that an infinite cannot be formed by addition and so on. I get the impression that the mathematics Craig uses (primarily set theory) is a simply a modern presentation of the Islamic arguments, which I founder easier to comprehend. The basic conclusion offered is that an actual infinite is mired in contradictions and thus cannot exist.

The second part of his evidence deals with astronomy, the Big Bang, thermodynamics and so on. Craig refutes the non-Big Bang models of the universe. The Big Bang model of the universe asserts that the universe began to exist approximately 15 billion years ago. The steady state model (which asserts that the universe is eternal) was refuted by empirical evidence in the 1960's while the oscillating model is confronted by major physical problems that make it quite implausible. Craig prefaces this section with a comment that some people find abstract philosophical argumentation too difficult and thus prefer the "concrete" sciences. Personally, I think that philosophy is better equipped, as a discipline, to address questions such as: Is the universe eternal? Did the Universe have a cause?

Briefly, near the end of the book, Craig defends what he rightly regards as the causality principle. The principle holds that whatever begins to exist has a cause. Craig presents the arguments of some other philosophers who attempt to show that this principle is self-evident or otherwise inescapable.

This is, without a doubt, the most difficult book I have read this year. Yet, it is quite rewarding. Craig successfully argues against all those who disagree with him and it is challenging to imagine a refutation of his position. If you have taken "Philosophy of religion" courses at the university level, you would definitely appreciate the book although some of the math-based arguments may be difficult to follow. I would only recommend it to people with a broad understanding of philosophy and or apologetics. If you would like an beginner's introduction on how to defend the Christian faith, I recommend, "The Case for Faith," by Lee Strobel (very readable and easy to understand), "Mere Christianity," by C.S. Lewis (a classic defense of Christianity, but it is quite short and not quite as rigorous as I would like). For a more in-depth defense of Christianity that covers both the existence of God, miracles, and Jesus Christ, J.P. Moreland's book, "Scaling the Secular City" (which I have reviewed) is bar none the best. Craig's book, "Reasonable faith," is also fairly good.

P.S. If you intend to offer a substantive critique of the argument, you must undermine the philosophical and scientific arguments for both of them independently establish the beginning of the universe, one of the key elements of the argument. One of the reviewers, George Tucker, "refuted" the argument in less than 100 words without addressing any of Craig's evidence. This is a poor attempt to refute an brilliantly argued book.

You said in your review,"All universes are ultimately, if not proximately, random vacuum fluctuations." Ponder this. In fluctuation vaccuum theory it is admitted that all we can empirically examine or have knowledge of is our universe ONLY! This is what the orginal proponants of the theory stated. That is why they abandoned the theory and no one has been able to support it empirically. How can one propose to ever give evidence for the existence of physical realities that are supposed to be outside of our physical reality. Translation: That is not science. That is someones imagination. True our universe probably does have vaccuum fluctuations but that doesn't have anything to do with whether or not the universe came from the emergence of the singularity of the Big Bang or abandoned fluctuation theories. Entropy is real and everything, the totality of the universe is at its mercy. The universe is moving toward its total death by loss of usable energy, til it will be at a stand still. That being the case, there is only evidence for the beginning of our universe from the Big Bangs singualarity. If all that there is had been infinite why didn't the universe die trillions of years ago? Was't there enough time? There are only two kinds of causation. An impersonal causation from eternity would have had existing with it an eternal effect, therefore agent causation is true by default. An agent is the only causal condition that can exist prior to what it willfully causes, its effect. Therefore Craig is right. God exist!

"Lion's Run" (published in the UK as "Bear's Tears") concerns the sudden reversal suffered by British Intelligence Chief Kenneth Aubrey. A stalwart presence in the anglo-Intel community (and perrenial hero in many Craig Thomas novels) Aubrey is revealed in "Run" to have been working for the Russians, perhaps going all the way back to his capture in the Soviet sector of Germany just after the war. The revelation is compounded by the fact that the British were about to radically revamp and centralize their operations. Aubrey's disclosure comes amidst his efforts to get a high-ranking KGB agent to defect. Aubrey learns too late that the planned defection was a trap, meant to lure the British spy-chief close enough to the Russians to corroborate the suspicions about him. Unfortunately, Aubrey's manipulated disgrace is only part of the plan that will see him kidnapped away to Russia (everybody will assume he just defected) and see the actual mole take command in his place. Aubrey's only hope is Patrick Hyde, the Australian former SAS officer who seems capable of just about anything (but not capable of doing anything painlessly - Hyde is no Bond). Unfortunately, Hyde will need to sneak into a Soviet intelligence stronghold in Czechoslovakia and access a secret computer for the files that will exonerate his boss. However, Hyde will first journey to the killing fields Afghanistan. There he will find the Russian general Petrunin, the one man who knows how to access the "Teardrop" files, and possibly the one man above every other on Earth who wants to Kill Hyde.

"Lion's Run" is another great Thomas novel. It's chock full of the characters who intermittently recur throughout his other novels, but Thomas's prose and feel for his characters never alienate unfamiliar readers, and seem to welcome everybody. (I would still recommend starting off with "Firefox" or "Snow Falcon") Thomas seems to fit in a comfortable yet sparsely populated niche combining heady Bond thrills with the more cerebral quality of Deighton. Aubrey knows that he's innocent, but Thomas hints that the veteran spy-chief has some secrets he can barely face himself. Thomas also deftly probes the pressures and ambitions of the Russians, restless on the verge of achieving a double-intelligence coup (kidnapping Aubrey while maneuvering one of their own into the inner-circle of British Intelligence), and the inner shame of Petrunin, whose assignment to Afghanistan may work against his masters. At the same time, we have Hyde braving the snowy no-mans-land of the Hindu-Kush, and then his mad-dash across the wall to the east and back. Of course, Aubrey and crew will have to deal with both the Russians and their own countrymen who are assured of Aubrey's guilt. There are some gaps - though Thomas has delved too deeply into Aubrey before too leave any doubt as to his loyalty, he taunts us with hints that Aubrey does have something to hide. But that's not handled as well as it could have been. Also, Hyde's character seldom demonstrates the depth of the others - unlike ex-para Richard Anderson ("A Hooded Crow") or Mitchel Gant ("Firefox"). Still a great novel, with thrills down to the last page.

Story involves a middle-aged spy who's on vacation in eastern Europe, when he's called forward for a dangerous assignment, dealing with a nefarious plot set up by the Russians (i.e. this is set during the Cold War).

Some of the most intense emotional experiences for the spy as he realizes he can trust no one and is running out of time. His escape, in the beginning, from Austria was a roller coaster ride.

Lion's Run is, quite simply, the best work of spy fiction that I have ever read.

I am a lifelong fan of the work of Craig Thomas, who puts the vast majority of suspense writers to shame, and I would venture that this is his best work.

Lion's Run is global in scale and Shakespearean in drama. It is the archetypal Craig Thomas novel, where a small group of people, working against the odds and against time confront a powerful conspiracy.

Within the first fifty pages of the novel, Sir Kenneth Aubrey, Britain's spymaster, is falsely accused of being a KGB mole. His friends and colleagues: Paul Massinger, Peter Shelley and Patrick Hyde race against time to exonerate Aubrey.

The action in Lion's Run is global and breathless - some of the best sequences include chases in Afghanistan, Vienna, and Prague. Thomas' character are expertly crafted, and his writing is always gripping. Particularly well written are the characters of Massinger, Hyde, and the fiendishly clever Tamas Petrunin who makes an unforgettable appearance.

In short, if you are seeking good spy fiction, look no further.

The Naked Child: Growing Up Without Shame is a wonderful reference for nudist families and parents, and those who are interested in the subjects of nudity and its effects on children's development. The authors present a lot of academic research study summaries to support their conclusions, and also include a number of anecdotal interviews. I feel that, at times, the anecdotal material is kind of contrived, but, overall, it gives the conclusions drawn (namely, that children's exposure to social nudity is not only not harmful, but is generally beneficial) a more "personal" ring to them. I've owned this book for many years, and I still frequently use it when compiling research on the topic myself.

From the preface (which I think is very well written):

"Does exposure to nudity cause sexual hang-ups in children? Will an open physical environment have negative effects on the personalities and sexual development of young people? Will seeing their parents nude cause children to develop what some experts call an over-balanced attachment to mother and father, and seduction anxiety? Or, as other experts believe, will nude experiences in the physically open family inevitably lead to incest, create terrible guilts and frustrations, and arouse parent-child rivalries? Will the children in families where nudity is common be the victims of more school failures and posess more sexual obsessions than those reared in families where nudity is not allowed? [...]

"[This] is the report on a study which addresses the questions listed above and gives the reader a chance to compare the opinions of the experts with the real-life experiences of adults who grew up in open physical environments. This book is the result of five years of research and writing plus added years for follow-up on some of the cases. _Growing Up Without Shame_ represents the first systematic attempt at studying the effects of a physically open environment. We know this study is the first. We hope it is not the last."

I found this book an easy, enjoyable read; it appears to give serious consideration to the topic, reviewing experts' opinions and researching the views of people who grew up in open environments. A more technical examination of the data from the research is given in an appendix.

Also contains a number of b&w photos from nudist environments, although these photos seem purely to brighten up the pages, since they have no direct connection to the text where they are placed.

This book was published before the Terror and contains beautiful, uncensored text and photos. There is no similar work available in English on the important subject of nudity and shame. While not as scholarly as Hans Peter Duerr's "Nudity and Shame: the myth of the civilizing process" (in German), this book offers welcome balance to the mass hysteria over child sexuality in the U.S. The fanatics haven't yet targeted this book for burning so read it before books like this are silenced forever.

These authors write clear, unembellished prose, with none of the annoying attempts to be cute or excessively colloquial one finds in many computer books. The information is generally accurate and more up-to-date than most. Those who seek a comprehensive understanding of PC hardware should take a look at this book.

This is *NOT* one of those watered down "dummies" books. If you have a hardware question, or want to know more about some particular piece of hardware this is THE book. It covers some very useful topics like the difference between IRQ 2 and 9, the speed difference between SCSI and ATA-66, what many of those cryptic BIOS settings are and what they do to get the most speed out of your machine.

I recommend this book very highly. It is a truly accurate and complete volume. There is a wealth of information available, including some very up-to-date information that I haven't found in some other recent publications. This is an indispensible manual that any computer enthusiast should not be without.

The drawings are very good, and I think that the author captured the gist of Elric's stories, and graphically interpreted the angst of Elric's torn soul. Elric is very similar as I'd have imagined. Only, poor Moonglum is very shabbily portrayed: maybe the authors didn't realize that Moonglum is an image of the author Michael Moorcock who is well bearded.
Anyway, I loved it. And the homophobes who did'nt like Neil Gaiman story can go look at ... bunnies.

Unfortunately, I have not read the Elric novels. However, I have read some fantasy and some comics. This comic ranks up there with the best of the titles by the masters of the comics medium. There's a philosophy expressed in every panel and every word balloon. There's also a lot of energy expressed and you can tell Russell loves the Elric stories.

Those of us who love comics will tell you the undisputed master was Jack Kirby. And his New Gods is his masterpiece. This book ranks up there with this work of the King. Every page astonishes.

This is a sumptuous feast for the eyes. Stormbringor has been adapted in a grand form by one of the comic industry's finest storytellers. P.Craig Russell has never delivered a more beautifully and well designed project in his entire career. Stormbringer is the last of the Elric tales, for the sake of continuity, and he's in fine, tragic form. This adaptation is very close to the novel and it's Russell's patience with the sequential form and his love of the source that shines through. The package is very well done. Good quality paper, cover stock (and awesomely rendered cover art) and wonderful coloring makes this book stand out among what's been passing for graphic novels. In short, this is what a graphic novel should be. I read Stormbringer in my 18th year and loved this ending of the tragic Elric saga. Russell's adaptation is a fine way to read it for the first time, or, the last. Enjoy this one. It's a rare package and well worth the price of admission. Books like this one are the reason I'm still reading comics in my middle age.

The use of statistics is pretty questionable -- the author cites the absolute number of accidents at different experience levels, but not the *rate* of accidents.

Are there more accidents between 50 and 350 hours because those pilots are less safe, or just because there are more pilots with 50-350 hours experience? The Killing Zone may actually exist, but the numbers in this book don't prove it; in fact, they may give a false sense of security to pilots with more than 350 hours experience, because their accident rates may be relatively higher than they think (how many private pilots give up before 350 hours?).

When you strip away the number games, what's left? This book does contain good safety information and a selection of accident reports, but that information is no different that what you will find in a typical flying magazine or online article: don't fly VFR into IMC, don't turn back when the engine fails just after takeoff, etc. etc. By all means, read it, but read STICK AND RUDDER and THEY CALLED IT PILOT ERROR first -- they'll give you far more for your time and money.

I like this book because even though we all know everything in this book, how many of us get lazy and cut corners. How many of us climb on the airplane and check the fuel level. I have gotten a few surprises. Reading this book while it is a recap still is a good idea. Also, I really liked the book.

Dr. Craig's book, The Killing Zone, is based on the combination of well-researched studies and years of general aviation flying. The Killing Zone, 50 to 350 flight hours, is a crucial and life-threatening time in a pilot's career. Craig portrays the most common mistakes pilots make in the zone and provides helpful insights on how to avoid these mistakes. I highly recommend this book to student pilots and professional pilots alike. For the professional pilots, who sucessfully flew through the Zone, this book will refresh your memory on forgotten yet pertinent elements to safe general aviation flying. The information in this book will aid in the prevention of an accident and ultimatley save your life- a must read for all pilots!
