I got it for Christmas shortly after I started flying, complete with a handwritten note from my darling wife on the inside cover: "Please read cover to cover and then read it again". Bless her.
The Author gives lots of general advice on 'The Killing Zone', together with separate chapters on 'Takeoff and Climb', 'Fuel Management', 'Ice' and about 15 other areas where inexperienced pilots have come to grief. Each chapter has a number of case studies with associated in-depth discussion and advice. There is also a chapter at the end about pilot personality, including a test so you can find out if you've got the right attitude, and a section on statistics.
Most of the examples are from the USA but that doesn't detract from the book's usefulness.
