Whilst many of the airlines that existed in the 1970s are still operational today, many others have disappeared. Notable casualties include BOAC and BEA, which merged as BA, and the main US carriers like PanAm and TWA. Not only were many of the airlines different in the 1970s, but so too were liveries and aircraft flown. This book explores, through colour illustrations and detailed captions, the many airlines that were once very familiar. With col. illustrations. Paperback, 143 pages. Size: 280 x 215 mm. Weight: 573g.

Management guru Henry Mintzberg has suffered the indignities of modern air travel for years. It's an experience he defines as akin to cattle-car herding, at depressingly generic and chaotic airports in cramped, sardine-class seats. This witty and humorous book is Mintzberg's revenge on the airlines and a culture of commercialism that has taken to the skies and reduced a once-enjoyable adventure to a flying circus. With illustrations. Paperback, 160 pages. Size: 178 x 110 mm. Weight: 137g.
