Synopsis
Appropriate for microprocessor courses teaching the 80x86 family. Offering students a real hands-on experience, this clearly written, visually appealing text takes the fear out of learning about computers by teaching assembly language programming in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach. Combining assembly and C programming early on, it uses the Debug utility to first show students what action instructions perform, then provides programs to demonstrate their application. Numerous examples, problems, and review questions continually reinforce concepts throughout., Writer Rinker Buck looks back more than 30 years to a summer when he and his brother, at ages 15 and 17 respectively, became the youngest duo to fly across America, from New Jersey to California. Having grown up in an aviation family, the two boys bought an old Piper Cub, restored it themselves, and set out on the grand journey. Buck is a great storyteller, and once you get airborne with the boys you find yourself absorbed in a story of adventure and family drama. And Flight of Passage is also an affecting look back to the summer of 1966, when the times seemed much less cynical and adventures much more enjoyable.

    • A good read, especially if you like a Huckleberry Fin type story

      A story about two teenage boys that take a cross country flight in their dads J-3 Cub in 1966. As growing boys, they view their father in different ways, and share the experience of flying a small airplane from New Jersey to California.

    • it brings back the sixty's and how great they were.

      I'm just over three quarters way through the book and am thoroughly enjoying it. The boys relationship with their father is classic. Anyone interested in aviation will enjoy this book. There are two stories, the teenage boys growing up and getting introduced to the nation they live in and the story about an old airplane that flew them into the different lifestyles in this country. It is truly a book that is hard to put down.
