America from the Air（ISBN=9780618706037） pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　An illustrated guide, in both book and CD-ROM, of landscapes

seen from commercial airplane windows across the United States.

This is a guide to what an airline passenger sees from his seat

while flying over the United States. Through its ingenious

construction and a map of preferred flight paths, it's easy to find

those pages that correspond to whatever flight a passenger happens

to be on, and then to identify features that can be seen from the

air. The book marries geology, natural history, and human history

for a glorious portrait of the continent, from the Atlantic City

Boardwalk to Mount St. Helens. Each two-page spread features an

aerial photo with captions identifying features passengers will see

and an essay interpreting the features. Each chapter is a Flight

Corridor, with pages sequenced to follow a trip from takeoff to

landing. Because many flight paths overlap, the fifteen corridors

cover the forty most heavily traveled flight segments in the

continental United States, plus many others. In many regions of the

country, readers will have a new page to read about every twenty

minutes. The entire book is also on the included CD-ROM, which can

easily be used on a laptop in the air.
