Book excerpt: Young scientists will get both inspiration and giggles from this humorous but true tale of early experiments with flying. The book tells how the first successful venture into human flight came about because of two French brothers, several paper bags, heated air, leaky cloth, hydrogen gas, frightened farmers, a duck, a rooster, a sheep, and a brave friend of the French king. In addition to introducing scientific processes and principles of flight, Up, Up in a Balloon may prompt budding inventors to try, try again—just as the Montgolfier brothers did when they launched the first hot air balloons more than 200 years ago. Up, Up in a Balloon is part of the I Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children in grades K–6 while encouraging them to become avid readers. These books explore the marvels of geology, land forms, weather, environments, and other phenomena related to science and nature. Included in each volume is a Parent/Teacher Handbook with coordinating activities. The I Wonder Why series is written by an award-winning science educator and published by NSTA Kids, a division of NSTA Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Age of Aviation is brought to life in this story of the giant Zeppelin airships that once roamed the sky—a story that ended with the fiery destruction of the Hindenburg. “Genius . . . a definitive tale of an incredible time when mere mortals learned to fly.”—Keith O’Brien, The New York Times At the dawn of the twentieth century, when human flight was still considered an impossibility, Germany’s Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin vied with the Wright Brothers to build the world’s first successful flying machine. As the Wrights labored to invent the airplane, Zeppelin fathered the remarkable airship, sparking a bitter rivalry between the two types of aircraft and their innovators that would last for decades, in the quest to control one of humanity’s most inspiring achievements. And it was the airship—not the airplane—that led the way. In the glittery 1920s, the count’s brilliant protégé, Hugo Eckener, achieved undreamed-of feats of daring and skill, including the extraordinary Round-the-World voyage of the Graf Zeppelin. At a time when America’s airplanes—rickety deathtraps held together by glue, screws, and luck—could barely make it from New York to Washington, D.C., Eckener’s airships serenely traversed oceans without a single crash, fatality, or injury. What Charles Lindbergh almost died doing—crossing the Atlantic in 1927—Eckener had effortlessly accomplished three years before the Spirit of St. Louis even took off. Even as the Nazis sought to exploit Zeppelins for their own nefarious purposes, Eckener built his masterwork, the behemoth Hindenburg—a marvel of design and engineering. Determined to forge an airline empire under the new flagship, Eckener met his match in Juan Trippe, the ruthlessly ambitious king of Pan American Airways, who believed his fleet of next-generation planes would vanquish Eckener’s coming airship armada. It was a fight only one man—and one technology—could win. Countering each other’s moves on the global chessboard, each seeking to wrest the advantage from his rival, the struggle for mastery of the air was a clash not only of technologies but of business, diplomacy, politics, personalities, and the two men’s vastly different dreams of the future. Empires of the Sky is the sweeping, untold tale of the duel that transfixed the world and helped create our modern age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of civil aviation, the sky is hardly the limit. It’s the starting line. Each day, countless professionals and enthusiasts alike engage with this dynamic sector, propelling humanity literally into new horizons. However, as we soar into these vast expanses, the necessity for a robust understanding and a shared language becomes not just beneficial, but vital. It's here that The Dictionary of Civil Aviation finds its wings, offering a solid ground of knowledge amidst the boundless skies of aviation exploration. With a reservoir of 4,681 meticulously curated entries, this dictionary stands as a testament to the colossal body of knowledge that civil aviation encompasses. It's an endeavor to foster a shared understanding, to bridge the knowledge gaps that might exist between a seasoned aviator and an aviation student, between air traffic controllers and airport managers, or between aviation policymakers and enthusiasts. The Dictionary of Civil Aviation is more than just a glossary; it’s a journey. A journey through the technicalities that ensure safety in the skies, the regulations that govern our airways, the acronyms that punctuate aviation communication, and the innovations that continue to drive this sector forward. Each term encapsulated in this dictionary is a node in the vast network that is civil aviation, offering readers a structured pathway through the complex, yet exhilarating world of flight. The objective is clear: to foster a culture of continuous learning and shared understanding within the civil aviation community. By doing so, we not only enhance the safety and efficiency of civil aviation but also honor the spirit of exploration and innovation that has always been its hallmark. As you flip through the pages of The Dictionary of Civil Aviation, you are not just encountering definitions; you are engaging with the living, evolving entity that is civil aviation. Each term is a window into a broader narrative, a narrative that you, as a reader and as a member of the civil aviation community, contribute to. We invite you to embark on this educational expedition, to delve into the nuances of civil aviation, and to emerge with a richer understanding and appreciation of the sector that makes global connectivity possible. Through this dictionary, may your curiosity take flight, and may your understanding of civil aviation soar to new heights.

Meet the MIT electrical engineer currently developing a way to turn on the lights cordlessly, then move back through Nikola Tesla's visionary concept of the wireless transfer of energy, Thomas Edison's groundbreaking work in developing a nationwide electrical grid, Ben Franklin's experiments to capture electricity, all the way back to ancient Greece, where Thales of Miletus described static electricity as a property of naturally occurring amber. Ingeniously organized and eminently browsable, this richly visual volume is divided into six big sections--medicine, transportation, communication, biology, chemistry, and the environment. Words and images that work together to explain such fascinating and elusive subjects as cloud computing, sunshields to cool the Earth, and self-driving cars. What did it take to get to these futuristic realities? Then, turn the page and follow a reverse-chronological illustrated time line of science and technology. This remarkable illustrated history tells the story of every Big Idea in our history, seen through the lens of where science is taking us today - and tomorrow.
