November 4, 2015

Todd Hubbard is the Clarence E. Page endowed chair and principal investigator for research in aviation psychology at Oklahoma State University. Hubbard served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force as a military pilot and has flown the U-2 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft at many locations around the world. In 1984, Hubbard ejected from a U-2 aircraft that had blown apart on takeoff. During his recovery, he withstood the difficulties of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a diagnosis that still influences how Hubbard processes the flight environment. His major areas of interest are aviation human factors and crew resource management of flight crewmembers.

This book provides an authoritative and practical guide to the assessment, management, treatment and care of pilots and other professional groups within aviation; covering a range of relevant topics, for health and human resources practitioners working in the airline industry. Excerpt by Professor Anthony N. Nicholson, King's College London.

The Bush Administration missed an opportunity to improve America's image in the Arab and Muslim world when it shut down the controversial 2002 "Brand America" public diplomacy television advertising campaign, a new book written by two U.S. advertising professors suggests. Contrary to news media and government reports at the time, the Shared Values Initiative (SVI)-the official name for the advertising campaign at the State Department-improved America's image in Indonesia and possibly throughout the Middle East. This book explores what went wrong with the Shared Values Initiative and how to change the U.S. approach to public diplomacy in the future.
