"A trove of poignant observations and thoughtful reflections on that strangest of modern experiences: commercial flight." -- Patrick Smith, Salon.com

"So nice to hold in your hands, like a passport." -- Timothy Morton, author of The Ecological Thought

"A cool, I'd even say noble, project." --Joe Keohane, Editor in Chief, Hemispheres

Schaberg and Yakich have written the perfect airplane read. Their book is actually two in one: reversible. One side relates behind-the-scenes stories of an ex-employee of United Airlines at the Gallatin Field Airport outside Bozeman, Montana. The other side tells the story of one man's lifelong efforts to cure a fear of flying. With sincerity and irreverence, these two tales wrestle with issues of travel, work, technology, security, faith, reading, writing, and parenthood. Ultimately, the book opens up a space between the two sides where readers can become more mindful of their own experiences of air travel.
