Produktinformationen zu „Danger and Poetry (ePub)“

Joe Karam was born to transcend, but perhaps not to fly. When at twenty-seven his quest for freedom led him to set foot in a glider for the first time, he was overcome with fear and desire. Nothing seemed to have prepared him for such a formidable test of courage, nor did he know anything about Charlie, the taciturn flight instructor he had just entrusted with his life. And yet the sky kept calling... A didactic memoir and a passionate love letter to aviation, Danger and Poetry unites heart and mind to celebrate the pursuit of dreams and the power of teachers.

Particularly recommended for:

- Individuals curious to learn about the joys and challenges of gliding and soaring in a sailplane

- Prospective or existing aviators interested in the mental aspects of the pilot training journey

- Novice or student pilots eager to compare notes on flight training basics and early milestones

- Airplane pilots aspiring to upgrade to more affordable and more silent aerial experiences

- Young freedom lovers, who in many countries can legally fly solo in a glider at age 14

- Flight instructors (especially CFI-G) seeking relevant reading material for their students

- Fixed-base operators (FBO) looking to stock, display, and retail enticing products

Autoren-Porträt von Joe Karam

An American immigrant of French upbringing and Lebanese descent, Joe Karam was born in a Christian family in Beirut during the Civil War and was then raised in Paris with a Jesuit education before deciding, at seventeen, to pursue the American Dream. Beginning anew in California, he received three college degrees and a teaching award from Stanford University, generated a dozen patents as an inventor at Google, composed piano scores for film and dance, raised funds for cancer research, completed long course triathlons, swam across the Golden Gate, and earned his airman certificate as a private glider pilot. Upon becoming a United States Permanent Resident, he launched an acting career in San Francisco before relocating to West Hollywood. Having now starred in over 80 film productions and helped as many teams of storytellers bring their stories to life, he got around to crafting one of his own, Danger and Poetry, an aviation memoir written for prospective and novice pilots as well as anyone who hasn't stopped dreaming and daring.
