The utility and benefits of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are emerging and being recognized across the aviation industry. While this technology is not new, the ability to support domestic public and private operators is becoming better understood and opening up new uses to government organizations and commercial enterprise. Analysis of the unmanned aviation market indicates that small UAS (sUAS) will become the most prevalent and affordable form of unmanned aircraft available, featuring technology developed by contributors ranging from DIY and hobby model aircraft communities to defense contracting. This book will help readers understand what a drone or UAS is, what forms are available (including multirotor, fixed-wing, and hybrid types), to make well-informed decisions regarding purchase and use. Readers will learn how sUAS and their various configuration options can be used to address or support evolving business needs. Ultimately, readers will have enough information to formulate a plan to acquire necessary certification approvals and operate sUAS in a safe, efficient, and effective manner. Beginning with the history of UAS and ending with how to prepare for the future of this fast-paced and innovative industry, this book contains descriptions of typical sUAS architecture, related technology, common uses, and suggested safety practices, while also providing a narrative to help you determine the most appropriate path forward through complex legal, business, operational, and support considerations. Understanding how these pieces fit together, from the technical and legal perspectives, will shape your own strategy for the safe, efficient, and effective use of this "(r)evolutionary" technology. The authors developed this book to share critical background, concepts, guidance, and lessons learned from their collective experience as researchers, operators, and academic instructors to dispel common myths and provide a starting point to explore how sUAS can be applied to solve challenges and support economic pursuits. Written for experienced aviators, as well as those new to aviation and operating in the National Airspace System (NAS). Illustrated extensively throughout, each chapter concludes with review questions for classroom and self-study use; glossary and index included. This book provides a solid foundation for keeping up with this fast moving and exciting aviation field.

La Food Revolution è il libro più importante mai scritto sulla nostra salute e quella del pianeta. Da anni sappiamo che l’intero pianeta è in crisi; siamo allarmati dal riscaldamento globale e da un livello di inquinamento non sostenibile negli oceani e nelle falde acquifere; scandali e denunce alimentari ci mostrano che la maggior parte del cibo che mangiamo è nocivo, mentre le frontiere dell’ingegneria genetica, applicate all’agricoltura, presentano diverse zone d’ombra, quando non sono diventate nuovi strumenti di sfruttamento delle popolazioni più povere. Saperlo però non basta se per primi non cambiamo atteggiamento. Cosa accadrebbe se smettessimo di mangiare prodotti animali, il cibo più tossico e costoso che l’umanità abbia mai conosciuto, e ci orientassimo a un’alimentazione tutta vegetale? In questo saggio che è diventato un classico del movimento ambientalista, John Robbins ci svela il legame intrinseco tra il nostro cibo e il nostro mondo, ci spiega come districarci nella giungla di informazioni sulle scelte alimentari (diete comprese) scoprendo quanto l’industria del cibo non ci dice. Per mettere in atto una vera «rivoluzione del cibo»: riprendendoci il potere di votare ogni giorno con «forchetta e coltello», per un’alimentazione sana, senza sofferenza e sostenibile. Una lettura appassionante per chiunque si preoccupi della sicurezza alimentare, delle condizioni degli animali ma anche, semplicemente, del destino del pianeta.

Il faut le lire avant qu''il ne soit trop tard. Trop tard pour votre propre santé et trop tard pour notre environnement. Mais attention : pour le lire, il faut avoir le cœur bien accroché, car il lève le voile sur des vérités stupéfiantes concernant les aliments que vous mettez tous les jours dans votre assiette. Vous serez sûrement outré d''apprendre dans quelles conditions effroyables et de plus en plus déplorables sont élevés les animaux dont vous vous nourrissez.

Un livre qui bouleverse, certes, mais qui apporte aussi des solutions pour éviter cardiopathies, cancers, ostéoporose, diabète et autres fléaux de notre époque. Après le veau et le poulet aux hormones, le poulet à la dioxine et le nitrate dans l''eau ; après la vache folle (dès 1923, un pédagogue avait déjà prévu ce qui allait arriver si on nourrissait les vaches avec de la viande) ; Après la fièvre aphteuse, la tremblante du mouton, le porc fourré aux antibiotiques et le poisson au mercure, on nous annonce le clonage des espèces... Bon appétit ! Publié sous le titre Diet for a New America, ce livre a créé une véritable révolution aux Etats-Unis. Après l''avoir lu, vous ne pourrez plus jamais plaider l''innocence et il vous sera impossible de ne pas changer votre façon de vous nourrir.
