Download or read book Flying Aeroplanes and Other Sociological Tales written by Brian McDonough and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying Aeroplanes and Other Sociological Tales is an introductory textbook for students wishing to learn about sociology and social research methods. Each of the short tales, told by a sociologist, introduces topics and research methods using an engaging storyline. The opening story narrates how the sociologist uses participant observation to understand the work of a commercial pilot, and how he feels about autopilot systems replacing his job of flying aeroplanes. Other tales feature topics such as education, health, crime, and gender. There is also a chapter on ‘lockdown’ during the Covid-19 pandemic. One main feature of the book is the ‘back door’ approach to teaching research methods, with chapters dedicated to exploring statistics, sampling, visual methods, documents, embodied methods, autoethnographic research and ethics. Traditional textbooks in sociology focus on what novice sociologists should do, but few, if any, comprehensively deal with overcoming problems as they might emerge and explain what to do when things go wrong. The sociological tales written in this book provide examples of when field access is denied, research participants refuse to take part, and when recording equipment has broken down. Each tale raises issues and problems for the sociologist to overcome, such as research design flaws, sampling bias, lack of rapport with research participants, and the problems with breaking ethical codes of conduct. The book provides insight into the role of the sociologist, why sociology matters, and what happens when sociology fails us. Flying Aeroplanes and Other Sociological Tales introduces a unique approach to teaching sociology and social research methods.

Download or read book The First Home Built Aeroplanes written by Arthur W. J. G. Ord-Hume and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days anybody can build his or her own aeroplane in their garage or shed but back in the 1930s it was a different story. Aircraft were considered too complex for the ordinary man, F J Camm, champion of do-it-yourself, thought otherwise and started Practical Mechanics magazine which told the reader how to make all sorts of things at home. In 1935 he published a series of articles on how to build the Flying Flea aircraft which created a sensation. Although this aircraft was not a success, it sowed the seeds of amateur flying in what today we know as D-I-Y Man. When the Flying Flea was grounded because of mishaps, Practical Mechanics again rose to the challenge with the tiny Luton Minor and told its readers exactly how to make one at home. The 1939-45 war stopped everything and when peace returned home-built aircraft were effectively banned until Arthur W J G Ord-Hume,a post-war pioneer in amateur aviation, revived the pre-War Minor design and battled with the authorities to get amateur aircraft flying again, with his new Luton Minor becoming the first British design to gain post-war approval. In this fascinating and unique book all of the Practical Mechanics home-built aircraft articles are reprinted just as they were published from the Flying Flea to the LA.4a Minor.

Introspective and studious Flo and outspoken, wild, and sexually curious Renée have barely spoken in their years of going to school together in Guernsey, a small British island off the coast of France. And yet, when tragedy strikes, it is only wild child Renée, who lost her mother at a young age, who is able to comfort a grieving Flo. The girls form an intense bond that sees them through a host of deeply relatable, wince-inducing experiences—drunken snogging; a séance in which clueless friends offer to summon Renée’s mother; dating a guy for free fish and chips.

Download or read book Boys Book of Aeroplanes written by T. O'B Hubbard and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most will agree that the advances made in aviation in little more than a century are remarkable. What was once a dramatic, and often perilous, adventure has become ubiquitous and a barely acknowledged part of modern life. But in 1912, when The Boys' Book of Aeroplanes was published, only nine years had elapsed since the Wright brothers made their first flight at Kittyhawk on 7 December 1903. Although many had attempted to fly, devising plans for all manner of craft, and much success with balloons, gliders and airships had been achieved, it was in this first decade of the twentieth century that the real practical issues were confronted and overcome, and this enabled controlled, sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight to begin.In this Vintage Words of Wisdom title, one of the earliest aeroplane books written for enthusiastic boys (but, we suspect, also having a strong appeal for the more mature reader), the authors chart the history of flight in considerable detail. From Oliver of Malmesbury in 1065 to Clement Ader, via Leonardo da Vinci, the famous and some now forgotten pioneers are given their place in the development of flight. The authors also provide a description of the sensation of flying based on their own experience and they attempt to place the reader in the pilot's seat. This is wonderfully evocative, given the risks then prevalent in these earliest of flying machines, and highlights the intrepid and pioneering characteristics required of the aviators. The science of flight is not disregarded and there is a wealth of detail on the fundamentals of how and why aircraft fly and also on the engineering and mechanics necessary to build a successful aircraft. The text is supported by numerous drawings and a wealth of period photographs that evoke the enthusiasm and demonstrate the courage of these flying trailblazers.We think The Boys' Book of Aeroplanes will appeal not just to the aviation enthusiast but also to anyone interested in the impact that aviation has had upon the world in the last hundred years. The principles outlined remain relevant today and the historical account provides a context for the development of aviation through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book is an authoritative tour de horizon for all things aeronautical at the dawn of powered flight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Aeroplanes Before the Great War is a catalog of the aeroplanes of the nearly 700 French builders who worked before the onset of World War I. Most of these aeroplanes flew some did not some were never even finished but all of them reflect the extraordinary vitality and sense of optimism that powered the aeronautical world before the future of the aeroplane began to become clearer in wartime. If the Wrights had not flown in 1903, one of the early French builders would very quickly have won the laurels for the first flight. Some of the machines appear in these pages probably for the first time in print; others are rarely seen. This collection serves as a kind of super Exposition Internationale de Locomotion Arienne; readers are invited to enter the Grand Palais, as they might have in 1908 or 1909, to enjoy these marvelous aircraft.
