Book Synopsis Reinventing the Propeller by : Jeremy R. Kinney
Download or read book Reinventing the Propeller written by Jeremy R. Kinney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international community of specialists reinvented the propeller during the Aeronautical Revolution, a vibrant period of innovation in North America and Europe from World War I to the end of World War II. They experienced both success and failure as they created competing designs that enabled increasingly sophisticated and 'modern' commercial and military aircraft to climb quicker and cruise faster using less power. Reinventing the Propeller nimbly moves from the minds of these inventors to their drawing boards, workshops, research and development facilities, and factories, and then shows us how their work performed in the air, both commercially and militarily. Reinventing the Propeller documents this story of a forgotten technology to reveal new perspectives on engineering, research and development, design, and the multi-layered social, cultural, financial, commercial, industrial, and military infrastructure of aviation.
Download or read book Earth from Space written by Johnston and published by A & C Black. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth from Spaceprovides a global view like no other. It presents our planet from a spectacular perspective, captures the diversity of life that exists around the globe, and takes us on a fascinating journey of discovery. Since the beginning of human history, we have sought a better understanding of the world around us. Thanks to the newest generation of satellites we can appreciate the beauty of the Earth as never before. Earth from Spaceincludes 300 spectacular satellite images: glaciers and forests, hurricanes and volcanic eruptions, the Grand Canyon and the Pyramids, rain forests and coral reefs, ecological disasters and war zones, and places of spectacular beauty - viewed at different scales by orbiting satellites. The structure of land surfaces, the effects of human and natural forces, and the ways in which our planet is changing can be clearly seen and understood. Much more than a collection of extraordinary images, Earth from Spaceincludes background information that explains the tools of the trade and maps that place the photos in context. Individually, the pictures capture every aspect of our dynamic planet. Collectively, they provide us with a unique and unparalleled view of the Earth, our home in space.
Book Synopsis Spaceflight in the Shuttle Era and Beyond by : Valerie Neal
Download or read book Spaceflight in the Shuttle Era and Beyond written by Valerie Neal and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the changing conceptions of the iconic Space Shuttle and a call for a new vision of spaceflight The thirty years of Space Shuttle flights saw contrary changes in American visions of space. Valerie Neal, who has spent much of her career examining the Space Shuttle program, uses this iconic vehicle to question over four decades' worth of thinking about, and struggling with, the meaning of human spaceflight. She examines the ideas, images, and icons that emerged as NASA, Congress, journalists, and others sought to communicate rationales for, or critiques of, the Space Shuttle missions. At times concurrently, the Space Shuttle was billed as delivery truck and orbiting science lab, near-Earth station and space explorer, costly disaster and pinnacle of engineering success. The book's multidisciplinary approach reveals these competing depictions to examine the meaning of the spaceflight enterprise. Given the end of the Space Shuttle flights in 2011, Neal makes an appeal to reframe spaceflight once again to propel humanity forward.

Book Synopsis Placing Outer Space by : Lisa Messeri
Download or read book Placing Outer Space written by Lisa Messeri and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Placing Outer Space Lisa Messeri traces how the place-making practices of planetary scientists transform the void of space into a cosmos filled with worlds that can be known and explored. Making planets into places is central to the daily practices and professional identities of the astronomers, geologists, and computer scientists Messeri studies. She takes readers to the Mars Desert Research Station and a NASA research center to discuss ways scientists experience and map Mars. At a Chilean observatory and in MIT's labs she describes how they discover exoplanets and envision what it would be like to inhabit them. Today’s planetary science reveals the universe as densely inhabited by evocative worlds, which in turn tells us more about Earth, ourselves, and our place in the universe.
