"Pressure Cooker" really cooks

As an former air traffic controller I can tell you that Don Biggs not only explains how the ATC system works, he makes you understand in your gut what it FEELs like to be an air traffic controller. If you want to go well beyond learning about ATC concepts, mechanics and technologies and get inside the mind, personal lives, attitudes, and feelings of a unique breed of people doing an equally unique job, read this book. It's excellent!
