Title isn`t quite right for the book

- Pros: Great angle-of-attack discussion... both intersting and safety promoting
- Cons: book is not as advertised by it`s title
- Review: The good... the book is written in a charming conversational way. The first half of the book is more or less focused on the concept of angle-of-attack. He discusses the problems and pitfalls of not managing angle of attack correctly in all the different types of weather. The author gives us a better appreciation for the topic as well as some no nonsense suggestions for safe flying. However, it`s not really very good writing. At times, the grammar choices are fairly confusing. Though, through context you can figure out what the author is trying to communicate. I would also say the book isn`t really as advertised. The title suggests that we would have more material that helps us understand and analyze the componants that make up good landings. The author does this mostly for managing the approach... but there isn`t much of a rigurous discussion. Some of his suggestions are likely to prove very contentious if you were to mention them to other instructions (I did and they were). Three starts for all the interesting and valuable discussion of angle-of-attack. Without that excellent safety info... I would suggest nobody buy the book.
