Oxford University Press Avian Flight
Book SynopsisBird flight has always intrigued mankind. This book provides an up to date account of our existing knowledge on the subject, as well as offering new insights and challenging some established views. A brief history of the science of flight introduces the basic physical principles governing aerial locomotion. A treatment of flight-related functional morphology concentrates on the difference in shape of the arm and hand part of the wings, on the structure and function of tails, and on the shape of the body. The anatomy and mechanical properties of feathers receive special attention. Aerodynamic principles used by birds are explained in theory by simply applying Newton''s laws, and in practice by showing the direction and velocity of the attached flow around an arm wing cross section and of the leading edge vortex flow above a hand wing. The Archaeopteryx fossils remain crucial in our understanding of the evolution of bird flight despite the recent discovery of a range of well-preserved anTrade Review...this is an expertly written introduction into all aspects of bird flight. What makes it even better is that Videler's narrative emphasis is not so much on the mechanical minutiae of avian flight, but rather on explaining and describing what makes it all work...His writing style, moreover, is enthusiastic and colourful. * PalArch's Journal of Vetebrate Palaeontology, 2007 *The strength of the book is its comprehensive coverage of the field...Videler tells us about old work that is still enlightening as well as about the newest and most fashionable research. * Ethology, 2006 *Videler is an enthusiast in every sense of the word, and this is a book for enthsiasts...a key achievement of Videler's book, in reviewing the current state of our knowledge, is to reveal how many lacunae remain. * Ibis *Regardless, the book does a splendid job of conveying the reasons for the author's entusiasm for studying avian flight...the book will serve as an excellent foundation for seminars for advanced undergraduates or graduates and as an essential motivational tool for all avian biologists. * JEB, Bret W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Airline Competition Deregulations Mixed Legacy
Book SynopsisThe advantages of airline competition to consumers are clearly apparent. Lower fares, greater choice, more frequent flights and a wider range of available services have all been evident when the entry of a new competitor has occurred. In many instances however, after an initial, relatively short-lived, period of aggressive competition the new entrant has either gone bankrupt or found a less stressful existence co-operating in some manner with the incumbent. In this wide-ranging book, the author looks at the competitive arena in the post-regulation era and especially focusses on deregulation's legacy; globalization in a bilateral world breaking the link between nationality and airlines. The book is of special interest to those members engaged in the Airline Industry, Regulatory Authorities and Government Departments of Transport and Industry. It will be of value to academic specialists in transport economics and public policy; MSc students and Institutes of Transport; pressure grouTrade Review’This volume contains a vast amount of tabular information and graphs, all of which are thoughtfully and carefully compiled and of direct relevance to the most important current issues relating to competition in the airline industry. As such it is a most valuable reference; and it should prove to be of great use, both to people researching the industry and to students reading for degrees in the air transport field.’ Dr J.P. Hanlon, University of Birmingham, UK ’...presents us with a wealth of tables and graphs...a tool for those engaged in the planning of future policies for civil aviation...clear and instructive.’ Air and Space Law ’This book is highly recommended. It is a useful addition to the literature in this field. It should find its way on to the shelves of all serious students of the industry.’ The Aerospace ProfessionalTable of ContentsContents: Introduction. Extent and impact of deregulation; Impact in European domestic markets; Impact in other regions’ domestic markets; Impact of low cost carriers in Europe; Europe - the world’s first fully deregulated region; Air transport provision in remoter regions; Competition on the North Atlantic; Prospects for global deregulation; A new role for regulators; Conclusion; Index.

Taylor & Francis Frontiers of Aerospace Law
Book SynopsisAerospace law is seeing a gradual merger between the two previously isolated regimes of human conduct pertaining separately to air and to space law. The use of information technology is arguably the foremost compelling force responsible for the unity of the aviation and space activities of man. It is therefore inevitable that information technology, computer law and the laws pertaining to State and individual responsibility are inextricably intertwined in a net of legal issues which would emerge in this new millennium. Frontiers of Aerospace Law introduces such issues as challenges to be addressed, both as corollaries and concomitants to this fundamental and overriding trend in the merger between air and space law. The issues range in space from legal liabilities pertaining to extra-terrestrial intelligence; environmental pollution in outer space; conduct of persons in outer space; to cyber crimes affecting outer space activities; and in air law, issues such as aircraft noise; economic trends of airports and air navigation services; funding for aviation safety projects; and emergent aero-medical issues and privacy of airline pilots. Its recommendations are geared to look future reality directly in the face and find legal solutions. In the realm of public international law, remedial measures are almost non-existent in the field of aerospace law, except for a solid foundation given to the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization to hear disputes between States on matters relating to civil aviation, a facility which has so far scarcely been used in the Organizationâs 55 year old history. Apart from a few provisions in the various space law conventions, there is no single coherent settlement mechanism at space law. The increasingly rapid proliferation of space activities in the coming years and their diversity leave no room for doubt that new laws will have to be put into place and new mechanisms to combat problems will have to be carefully thougTrade Review’This book fills a great lacuna in the legal literature pertaining to current and future issues in aerospace law which have thus far not been given sufficient attention. This is a fascinating, original book and an asset to existing literature. Dr Abeyratne has made excellent use of his distinguished service as an aviation lawyer and economist at ICAO by addressing current and topical issues in their true perspective and practical application.’ Professor I.H. Ph. Diederiks-Verschoor, Vice Chairman of the International Institute of Air and Space Law at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands ’Contrasted with the entry into the twentieth century, we have now entered the twenty-first century at supersonic speed with respect to the continuing development of aviation and space activity. The challenges ahead are ominous. The legal issues relating to the continuing development of international and domestic air transportation and the exploration and utilization of outer space are becoming considerably more complex. The issues must be addressed early in the twenty-first century in order to continue the orderly development of air transportation and outer space utilization. Dr. Ruwantissa Abeyratne, in his book, Frontiers of Aerospace Law, addresses the challenges that lie ahead and the anticipated legal issues that must be addressed in the future. This book is a must read for all who presently are or may become involved in this area of the law and should be on the desk of every lawyer who may be called upon to address these challenges.’ George N. Tompkins, Jr. Counsel, Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, New York, USA ’...a good collection of studies on today's problems...Abeyratne is where the action is, and as he is a good analyst and a professional reporter, his book should lie under the Christmas tree.’ Air and Space Law ’It is refreshing to read a legal book that not only identifies future problem areas but also is bold enough to offer solutioTable of ContentsContents: Space law concepts; Space law issues; Space law - emergent trends; Summary of the Issues; Air law issues; Conclusion; Index.
