But there were choices for some. Taking to the air was an attractive alternative to the slime, stench and gore of the trenches. The prospect of flying in the Royal Navy, the Senior Service, Nelson's Navy, must have been irresistible to any adventurous teenager - the best aeroplanes on the best ships with the best sailors that ever existed - or so he might have been led to believe. The Royal Naval Air Service was sorely tested, and not necessarily by the enemy. The casualties of the sea and its perils, and of accident and mechanical failure, were catastrophic. But this critical battle between young pilots in their infant flying machines and unpredictable events forged the pathway for our modern conceits of war - missiles, drones, giant aircraft carriers, weapons of space. A hundred years ago a young pilot took illicit photographs with his pocket camera and left a personal account of his life at sea with his 'kite'. This book tells his story illustrated by his long-lost 'snaps'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584803414289,"sku":"GOR007366827","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1473849055.jpg?v=1750955598"},{"product_id":"plastic-surgery-its-origins-book-richard-petty-9780992673901","title":"Plastic Surgery: its Origins","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50555956035857,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50555956068625,"sku":"GOR009868485","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0992673909.jpg?v=1751140957"},{"product_id":"communication-and-persuasion-book-richard-petty-9780387963440","title":"Communication and Persuasion","description":"It has been over 10 years since we initiated work on our first series of collaborative experiments. As graduate students, we had great fun planning, conducting, and writing this research (Petty \u0026amp; Cacioppo, 1977). We enjoyed arguing with each other at our initial meeting in 1973 and have sub- sequently become best friends, but neither of us suspected at the time that we would or could actively maintain a research collaboration over the next decade, or that we would now find ourselves in a position to write this monograph. As we note in Chapter 1, we began our studies of persuasion at a time when social psychology was in \"crisis,\" and interest in research on attitude change in particular was declining. As we write this, we are aware of six new volumes on persuasion that are in press or in preparation and that should appear over the next few years. In retrospect, it is not so surprising that research on attitudes and persuasion would reemerge as a central concern of social psychology. We believe that human feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, whether in the domain of interpersonal relations (e. g. , marriage, aggression), politics (e. g. , voting, revolution), health (e. g. , following a medical regimen), or economics (e. g. , consumer purchases) are greatly influenced by the evaluations people have of other people, objects, and issues. Furthermore, evaluations (attitudes) are influenced by affect, cognition, and behavior.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50960475947281,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50960478863633,"sku":"CIN0387963448VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52866410512657,"sku":"GOR014649280","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0387963448.jpg?v=1751134102"},{"product_id":"king-of-the-road-book-richard-petty-9780025960305","title":"King of the Road","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51607005495569,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51607005888785,"sku":"CIN002596030XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52755651887377,"sku":"CIN002596030XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/002596030X.jpg?v=1751004928"},{"product_id":"cognitive-responses-in-persuasion-book-richard-petty-9780898590258","title":"Cognitive Responses in Persuasion","description":"First published in 1982. This collaborative product of leading contributors seeks to update information on the psychology of attitudes, attitude change, and persuasion. Social psychologists have invested almost exclusively in the strategies of theory-testing in the laboratory in contrast with qualitative or clinical observation, and the present book both exemplifies and reaps the products of this mainstream tradition of experimental social psychology. It represents experimental social psychology at its best. It does not try to establish contact with the content-oriented strategies of survey research, which have developed in regrettable independence of the laboratory study of persuasion processes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52583641776401,"sku":"NLS9780898590258","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780898590258.jpg?v=1761047573"},{"product_id":"beyond-soul-food-modern-american-heritage-cuisine-book-richard-petty-9781257886852","title":"Beyond Soul Food, Modern American Heritage Cuisine","description":"Too Cubed Unauthorized is the unofficial insider's history of the greatest Neo-Psychedelic Open Source Groove Rock Jam Band that (n)ever was","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53402582581521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53402583499025,"sku":"NIN9781257886852","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781257886852.jpg?v=1776115670"},{"product_id":"80-s-hits-biggest-loser-workout-mix-various-cd-0096741235429","title":"80's Hits Biggest Loser Workout Mix \/ Various","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53415663075601,"sku":"CINB001PQ1TOOVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/096741235429.jpg?v=1776358521"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-richard-petty.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
