At a time when that 1960s notion of air travel as decadent and
exceptional is experiencing an unexpected revival, this book ...
could be the G&T in a plastic glass you need.' The Spectator
Travel writer Julia Cooke's exhilarating portrait of Pan Am
stewardesses in the Mad Men era. Come Fly the World tells the story
of the stewardesses who served on the iconic Pan American Airways
between 1966 and 1975 - and of the unseen diplomatic role they
played on the world stage. Alongside the glamour was real danger,
as they flew soldiers to and from Vietnam and staffed Operation
Babylift - the dramatic evacuation of 2,000 children during the
fall of Saigon. Cooke's storytelling weaves together the true
stories of women like Lynne Totten, a science major who decided
life in a lab was not for her, to Hazel Bowie, one of the
relatively few African American stewardesses of the era, as they
embraced the liberation of a jet-set life. In the process, Cooke
shows how the sexualized coffee-tea-or-me stereotype was at odds
with the importance of what they did, and with the freedom, power
and sisterhood they achieved.
This book presents the findings of a recent interview-based study
of how 28 young adults living in Melbourne, Australia viewed and
related to both the personal and societal future. In so doing it
addresses issues such as how individuals imagine the future of
their society, and whether this has any bearing on the way in which
they perceive and relate to their own, personal future. The
respondents' future imaginings are also considered in relation to
influential theoretical accounts that have sought to diagnose the
character of contemporary society, and with it the future horizon.
Drawing on this discussion, some alternative ways of
conceptualising micro experiences of future-oriented thinking are
proposed, and the role that hope can play in this process is
addressed. This book will appeal to readers who are interested in
the sociology of risk and uncertainty, time, and youth.
