This book is both a repertory guide to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention) as well as a legal analysis of the provisions of the treaty.  It traces action taken by the ICAO Assembly and the Council in the implementation of the Convention from the first ICAO Assembly in 1947 until 2012.  Above all, the book offers a commentary on the functional and moral fabric of the Chicago Convention, which is not only a multilateral legal instrument that sets out basic principles of air navigation and air transport, but also serves as a moral compass that brings the people of the world together.    The teleological nature of the Chicago Convention is reflected from the outset – from its Preamble which sets the tone and philosophy of the Convention – that aviation builds friendship and understanding among all people, to its technical provisions that range from rules of the air to landing at airports and customs and immigration procedures. Standardization, or in other words, compliance, is the driver of the Convention that keeps aviation safe, regular, efficient and economical.  To that end, this book traces and details  the sustained relevance  of the Chicago Convention  and the efforts of ICAO and the international aviation community towards keeping air transport on track and ready for its future exponential growth, both in letter and in spirit.  .

Stripfiguur professor Astrokat neemt je mee in de wereld van sterren(stelsels) en ons zonnestelsel met de planeten en planetoi?den. Grote uitgave met paginagrote grafische kleurenillustraties. Vanaf ca. 11 t/m 14 jaar.Lieve Raymaekers, 23 februari 2015Zelden zo?n volledig informatief boek over de ruimte gezien. Niet alleen de oerknal, alle sterren en planeten, en ruimtevaart komen aan bod, maar ook de sterrenbeelden in elk seizoen, de werking van telescopen, onbekend leven, de toekomst van de ruimtevaart. Sommige bladzijden schrikken daardoor wat af, omwille van de hoeveelheid tekst. De ingewikkelde materie is wel bevattelijk uitgelegd, met daarnaast een heleboel weetjes zoals bv. dat je op Mars maar half zo oud bent, omdat een Marsjaar dubbel zo lang is als een jaar op Aarde. Ook de vele illustraties helpen bij het begrijpen van ingewikkelde toestanden. Heel fraaie illustraties trouwens, in een aantrekkelijk kleurenpalet van blauw/zwart en oranje/geel. Alleen vraag ik me af of de bezetenen van de ruimte tot wie dit boek zich richt, een boodschap hebben aan een figuurtje als professor Astrokat, vergezeld van een muis die flauwe opmerkingen maakt. En of zij niet liever foto?s zien om te weten hoe die dingen er nu echt uitzien.23 februari 2015© Pluizer62http://www.pluizer.be

This title presents a review of the detailed aspects of the physical processes that underlie the observed properties, structures and dynamics of cosmic plasmas. An assessment of the status of understanding of microscale processes in all astrophysical collisionless plasmas is provided. The topics discussed include  turbulence in astrophysical and solar system plasmas as a phenomenological description of their dynamic properties on all scales; observational, theoretical and modelling aspects of collisionless magnetic reconnection; the formation and dynamics of shock waves; and a review and assessment of microprocesses, such as the hierarchy of plasma instabilities, non-local and non-diffusive transport processes and ionisation and radiation processes.  In addition, some of the lessons that have been learned from the extensive existing knowledge of laboratory plasmas as applied to astrophysical problems are also covered.   This volume is aimed at graduate students and researchers active in the areas of cosmic plasmas and space science.   Originally published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 278/2-4, 2013.
