Fundamentally, air transportation has helped redefine the scale of human geography by dramatically reducing the cost of distance, both in terms of time and money. The result is what the author terms the 'airborne world', meaning all those places dependent upon and transformed by relatively inexpensive air transportation. The Economic Geography of Air Transportation answers three key questions: how did air transportation develop in the century after the Wright 606 $aAeronautics$xSocial aspects 606 $aAeronautics$xEconomic aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAeronautics$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAeronautics$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a387.7/1 700 $aBowen$b John$f1966-,$0938771 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456554703321 996 $aThe economic geography of air transportation$92115854 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02559nam 2200517 450 001 9910786560803321 005 20230803202550.0 010 $a0-19-100988-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000000115018 035 $a(EBL)1692226 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001294390 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11735606 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001294390 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11335503 035 $a(PQKB)10916131 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1692226 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000115018 100 $a20140610h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe man in the monkeynut coat $eWilliam Astbury and the forgotten road to the double-helix /$fKersten T.

The same might also be said of the scientists James Watson and Francis Crick. Their discovery of the structure of DNA was, without doubt, one of the biggest scientific landmarks in history and, thanks largely to the success of Watson's best-selling memoir 'The Double Helix', there might seem to be little new to say about this story. But much remains to be said about the particular 'giants' on whose shoulders Watson and Crick stood. Of these, the crystallographer Ros 606 $aMolecular biology$xHistory 608 $aBiographies.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aMolecular biology$xHistory. 676 $a572.86 700 $aHall$b Kersten$01529903 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786560803321 996 $aThe man in the monkeynut coat$93774458 997 $aUNINA
