This report provides methods and useful information for conducting effective user surveys at airports. The guidebook introduces the basic concepts of survey sampling and the steps involved in planning and implementing a survey; describes the different types of airport user surveys; and provides guidance on how to design a survey and analyze its results. This guidebook will be of value to airport operators, planners, designers, and other takeholders that need to survey airport users to obtain useful information to plan and operate their facilities appropriately and efficiently. Airport facilities can include all aspects of airport terminal buildings, parking lot operations, surface transportation, food and retail services, and employee accommodations, among others.

This book is dedicated to Leo Buscaglia. I am reminded of the great Zen parable where a man was hanging from a cliff with a hungry lion above him and a hungry bear below him. Surely he was going to die no matter what he did. Of course he simply looked over to pluck a strawberry off a vine and replied: How Delicious! A young Buddhist woman cried one day before eating her small bowl of rice knowing that this would be her only opportunity ever to enjoy this simple meal. Love is the only solution to human existence.

Vols. 29-30 include papers of the International Engineering Congress, Chicago, 1893; v. 54 includes papers of the International Engineering Congress, St. Louis, 1904.

The influential economist offers a persuasive strategy for a more just and sustainable economy—with a forward by Bernie Sanders. The New York Times has said that Jeffrey D. Sachs is “probably the most important economist in the world.” Now, in a book that combines impassioned manifesto with a plan of action, Sachs charts a path to move America toward sustainable development. Sustainable development is a holistic approach to public policy that unifies economic, social, and environmental objectives. By focusing too much on short-term economic growth, the United States has neglected rising inequality and dire environmental threats—all while putting our long-term economic growth at risk. Sachs explores issues that have captivated national discourse, including infrastructure, trade deals, energy policy, the proper size and role of government, the national debt, and income inequality. In accessible language, he illuminates the forces at work in each case and presents specific policy solutions. His argument rises above the stagnation of partisanship to envision a brighter way forward both individually and collectively. “Sachs demonstrates expertise on vastly different policy fields and makes a convincing case that abdicating the toxic intersection of militarism and exceptionalism is key to building a brighter future.”—Global Policy Journal
