Description

After narrowly surviving a plane crash, Bill Hatcher wakes up to discover his life of carefree abandon shattered. As a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania in the 1990s, he had risen above his own racial prejudices and religious jingoism and, yet, had remained emotionally aloft, afraid to commit to the full transformation that was calling to him. In spite of misgivings, he returns to Africa. In Kenya, he flies bush planes, guides wilderness courses and falls in love with a young Kikuyu woman. All seems well until Bill is attacked and beaten by thugs and then injured when he's chased by an elephant. Still unable to deal with reality, he escapes to Alaska, where he flies still higher and loves even more recklessly. Ultimately, the principles of flight force him to make a choice: to fly away again or finally return to Earth as an advocate for social, animal and environmental justice. Set before, during and after 9/11 and the wars that followed and filled with spectacular scenes of flights over the African savanna and Alaskan glaciers, PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT is a memoir of grand adventure as well as a psychosocial inquiry into the hyper-masculinism that has dominated the world.

books.

Sweden's friendliest and environmental friendliest bookshop with the lowest priced textbooks.

This is our ambition, and we do what it takes to get there. We are here to help students to save and earn money on their textbooks while we at the same time save the environment. We were started in 2005 by two students and have since strived to constantly make it easier to buy and sell used textbooks for as many as possible.
