In his equally fascinating and poignant memoir, the author reveals how his steadfast love of airplanes guides him through a tumultuous childhood and empowers him to set the course for his own life. "A thoughtful and detailed remembrance of a life in flight. In Roberts' vivid telling of his life story, he was always a pilot at heart "(Kirkus Reviews). He will make you feel the awe of sitting in the cockpit, the wonder of taking flight, and the unbridled joy of achieving goals. Despite his disqualifying impairment and "the family burning flames of alcohol," he will be an airline pilot. Nothing matters more. As he grows up, the author immerses himself in the world of pilots, cockpits, and hangars. He soaks up every gem of aviation wisdom his father and other pilots impart, earning his pilot's license before he can drive and, at seventeen, becoming the youngest licensed flight instructor in the U.S. Later, his story flies you from the skies of Alaska to America's East Coast, and on to Greenland, Iceland, and Europe, The big dream, the dream of becoming an airline pilot, though, remains elusive. Finally, on a stressful cross-Atlantic flight in a single-engine airplane with a broken compass and iced-over wings, Roberts realizes that further growth, both personal and career, requires pushing aside beliefs he learned in his formative years. He must think for himself, take risks, form his own ideas.He must unlearn... to fly.

Russ Roberts held tight to his dream. He would be an airline pilot. Airplanes were the golden thread that stiched together an otherwise turbulent start to life. "Unlearning to Fly" is a literary metaphor illustrating his need to find his own way, "unlearn" his parents' religious and lifestyle teachings. In this heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking memoir, he takes you from Alaska to Virginia and on to Greenland, Iceland, and Europe.

This collection of papers raises methodological issues and questions concerning the traditional nature of anthropology, and addresses current issues and debates in sociology and social anthropology. The essays in this volume, by well-known anthropologists take up these and other issues arising out of their own fieldwork experience. The result is a rigorous and deeply moving analysis that leads to an unlearning of inappropriate and insensitive methods that obscure rather than explain the lives of people.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are constantly faced with the challenge of staying competitive and adapting to change. To thrive in this dynamic environment, it is crucial for organizations to develop the capability to learn, unlearn, and relearn effectively. Absorptive capacity, the ability to acquire, assimilate, and apply external knowledge, plays a vital role in fostering innovation, agility, and competitive advantage. By tapping into external sources of knowledge, organizations can leverage new insights, technologies, and best practices to fuel their growth and development. However, absorptive capacity alone is not enough. Organizations must also cultivate the willingness and ability to unlearn outdated knowledge, assumptions, and practices that may hinder progress. Unleashing Absorptive Capacity and Unlearning for Organizational Excellence delves into the interconnected dynamics of absorptive capacity and unlearning within organizational contexts. It emphasizes how absorptive capacity and unlearning can mutually reinforce and amplify each other, creating a positive feedback loop. Covering topics such as continuous improvement, learning cultures, and organizational adaptability, this book empowers leaders, managers, human resources professionals, researchers, academicians, educators, postgraduate students, and more with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster a culture of continuous learning, ultimately contributing to organizational excellence.

Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation and other fields. The effective use of technology in training, safety investigation, engineering and scientific research requires an understanding of its capabilities and limitations. As the technology has as its primary goal the creation of virtual environments for human users, knowledge of human sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functioning is also needed. This book provides a review and analysis of the relevant engineering and science supporting the design and use of advanced flight simulation technologies. It includes chapters reviewing key simulation areas such as visual scene, motion, and sound simulation and a chapter analyzing the role of recreating the pilot's task environment in the overall effectiveness of simulators. The design and use of flight simulation are addressed in chapters on the effectiveness of flight simulators in training and on the role of physical and psychological fidelity in simulator design. The problems inherent in the ground-based simulation of flight are also reviewed as are promising developments in flight simulation technology and the important role flight simulators play in advanced aviation research. The readership includes: flight simulation engineers and designers, human factors researchers and practitioners, aviation safety investigators, flight training management and instructors, training and instructional technologists, virtual environment design community, and regulatory authorities.

The world is at war—Pearl Harbor and WWII. A desire to serve, a chance to fly—he joins the navy’s V-5 program, the finest flight training ever devised. Come fly with him in open-cockpit biplanes, low-wing trainers, dive bombers, and fighters as he wins the gold wings of a naval aviator, an officer’s stripes, and the designation of carrier-based fighter pilot. Recalled for the Korean War—this time to fly newly developed jets. Soar with him on his first flight, to heights he’d not reached and speeds he’d never seen. Recalled for the Korean War—take a front-row seat on a massive U.S. Navy aircraft carrier in combat and experience the riveting, heart-stopping life of a jet fighter pilot racking up fifty-five missions over Korea. Catapult launches, shootings and being shot at, and landing on a rolling, bobbing flight deck are vividly depicted—along with spectacular crashes and agonizing fatalities, while cavorting with stars in Hollywood and Palm Springs.
