A poetic and nuanced exploration of the human experience of flight that reminds us of the full imaginative weight of our most ordinary journeys—and reawakens our capacity to be amazed.
The twenty-first century has relegated airplane flight—a once remarkable feat of human ingenuity—to the realm of the mundane. Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flight, asks us to reimagine what we—both as pilots and as passengers—are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity that affords us unparalleled perspectives on the planet we inhabit and the communities we form.

一封来自飞行员的浪漫情书
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
去年看过一本书,围绕着“心中有梦想与热爱的孩子,会自己奔跑”这一观点引导孩子思考自己的未来,如果说这本书是帮助小朋友构筑梦想,那么《长空飞渡》讲的就是小朋友梦想成真后的生活。 童年组装的飞机模型、飞机的科学作业、迪士尼的飞机乐园,这些孩提时与飞机有关的小事在... (展开)来自天空的凝视:世界的另一个样子
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
“在这抽象、缓慢的运动中,对我来说最有意义的莫过于地面事物之间的联结。我们可以说,这些联结是理所当然的,就像一条公路、一道河川或一条铁路在两个城市之间穿行,又像一处地景或者云景如线条在书页上流动。” 这样一段充满哲思的话来自于一本与飞行相关的书。很难想象,作... (展开)飞行的灵魂与空中的诗
在风沙星辰中寻找自我、感受世界的参差
当我们谈飞行时,我们在谈什么
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
深邃的宇宙、广阔的天空、浩瀚的海洋…… 界限变得模糊、边界逐渐消失,永远无法穷尽的未知往往让我觉得浪漫而平静。 事实上,在拿到《长空飞渡》时,我以为自己即将打开的是一本极专业的科普读物,即会以飞行员的视角和扎实功底介绍飞机与飞行那些事儿。这些在书里当然也有所... (展开)对飞行的热爱,让他笔下生花
满足了我对天空与飞行的所有好奇心,阅读体验极佳

这就是文理兼俱,雌雄同体的作者啊。。。推荐看英文原版,原来英语也能写出这么美的句子。另外,在作者眼里北京火车站居然和阿姆斯特丹的骑行步道、新加坡的公共绿化、赫尔辛基的室外游泳池、温哥华的出租车司机一样美好。。。
