The bottom line on the airport noise conflict,
By Citizen Jack (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How Safe Is Your Pilot? (Paperback)
Mr. Rodgers does an excellent job of describing the conflict between airports and their surrounding residential communities. He analyzes the sources of the conflict and the tactics used by residents, developers, local governments and even the airports themselves to placate the complainers -- all without success. Finally he describes his own approach to mitigating the conflict -- a surprising yet successful approach.

Delivers exactly as promised!,

This review is from: How Safe Is Your Pilot? (Paperback)
The issues Rodgers clearly defines in this book are also rampant in other industries, not just aviation. It clearly shows how a group given some unofficial authority voluntarily for the sake of convenience can proceed to abuse that power through manipulation and intimidation, ultimately acting as though they have some real legal authority when they in fact do not.
