These are the flying stories of a fearful pilot, one who admires but does not emulate the more daring exploits of her father and her friends. The accounts of Jennifer Brice--at times poignant, funny, and downright nerve-racking--are engaging recollections of deadly, near-deadly, and occasionally comic encounters between human nature and Nature writ large. The unlikely romance between her parents, the Good Friday earthquake, the Alaska oil boom, a stint as a newspaper reporter, and the trials of a student pilot form a few chapters in Brice's remarkable life. These are the stories in which the physics and metaphors of flight--center of gravity, angle of attack, wake turbulence--illuminate Brice's remarkable life story, recounted in prose that takes wing.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Unlearning to Fly | Jennifer Brice | Hardcover | 9780803210943 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1553011","offer_id":50576059072770,"sku":"1553011","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81QeNSUdEJL.jpg?v=1790903382","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/unlearning-to-fly","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
