Book Synopsis Site Accessibility and Characteristic Velocity Requirements for Direct-descent Lunar Landings by : Vernon J. Weyers
Download or read book Site Accessibility and Characteristic Velocity Requirements for Direct-descent Lunar Landings written by Vernon J. Weyers and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A direct descent is one in which the main descent propulsion system burns continuously from lunar approach to touchdown. The characteristic velocity requirement for direct lunar descents is presented as a function of the landing site location relative to the normal impact point. Results are included for translunar trip times of 60, 75, and 90 hours, for specific impulses representative of both Earth storable and cryogenic propulsion systems, for landing sites located anywhere on the lunar surface, and for ignition thrust-to-Earth weight ratios between 0.12 and 10.0. The data presented are useful in determining approximate performance capability and in evaluating tradeoffs during preliminary mission planning studies.

Barton was an engineer and heir to a considerable fortune, who had long dreamed of making his mark on the world as an adventurer. Together, Beebe and Barton would achieve what no one had done before--direct observation of life in the blackness of the abyss. Here, against the back drop of the depression, is their riveting tale.

Book excerpt: I didn't want to move to this dumpy, cold rural town. Then again, I didn't want to lose my entire family either. We never get want we want. My aunt told me to stay away from those 'Academy Boys', that something was different about them; something wrong. I know she means well, but I'm not a baby. When Justin gets me accepted into that fancy school of his, I figured it could be a fresh start. I just have to ignore how everyone stares at me, almost as if they're waiting for something to happen. There's an order to things here; a hierarchy. I'm struggling to find where I fit in to all of this. And this old man keeps appearing in my dreams, calling out for help. He babbles about archangels and demons. None of that is real, though. It can't be. That would be utterly ridiculous. ***************** "So, I couldn't put it down. I finished it yesterday evening. I should've been painting yesterday but I blew that off. It was the perfect book, perfect genre to get lost in right now. Is the sequel in the works?" -Kelly L., Missouri I've just finished this book and absolutely loved it. I was engrossed in the story from start to finish. Would definitely recommend, even if you're not usually a fan of the genre like me. I'm looking forward to book 2! :) -Elizabeth H.
Book Synopsis Distorted Descent by : Darryl Leroux
Download or read book Distorted Descent written by Darryl Leroux and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distorted Descent examines a social phenomenon that has taken off in the twenty-first century: otherwise white, French descendant settlers in Canada shifting into a self-defined “Indigenous” identity. This study is not about individuals who have been dispossessed by colonial policies, or the multi-generational efforts to reconnect that occur in response. Rather, it is about white, French-descendant people discovering an Indigenous ancestor born 300 to 375 years ago through genealogy and using that ancestor as the sole basis for an eventual shift into an “Indigenous” identity today. After setting out the most common genealogical practices that facilitate race shifting, Leroux examines two of the most prominent self-identified “Indigenous” organizations currently operating in Quebec. Both organizations have their origins in committed opposition to Indigenous land and territorial negotiations, and both encourage the use of suspect genealogical practices. Distorted Descent brings to light to how these claims to an “Indigenous” identity are then used politically to oppose actual, living Indigenous peoples, exposing along the way the shifting politics of whiteness, white settler colonialism, and white supremacy.
Download or read book Lineage of Loss written by Max Katz and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle of the nineteenth century a new family of hereditary musicians emerged in the royal court of Lucknow and subsequently rose to the heights of renown throughout North India. Today this musical lineage, or ghar n, lives on in the music and memories of only a small handful of descendants and players of the family instrument, the sarod. Drawing on six years of ethnographic and archival research, and fifteen years of musical apprenticeship, Max Katz explores the oral history and written record of the Lucknow ghar n ,tracing its displacement, loss of prestige, and erasure from the collective memory. In doing so he illuminates a hidden history of ideological and social struggle in North Indian music culture, intervenes in ongoing debates over the anti-Muslim agenda of Hindustani music's reform movement, and reanimates a lost vision in which Muslim scholar-artists defined the music of the nation. An interdisciplinary, postmodern counter-history, Lineage of Loss offers a new and unsettling narrative of Hindustani music's encounter with modernity.

Book Synopsis The French Descent into Renaissance Italy, 1494–95 by : David Abulafia
Download or read book The French Descent into Renaissance Italy, 1494–95 written by David Abulafia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French invasion of Italy under Charles VIII in 1494-95 has long been seen as inaugurating a new and wretched era in Italian history. The present volume, the work of an international team of contributors, seeks to question that assumption by focusing anew on the intricate politics of Renaissance Italy and the long history of Angevin attempts to impose their rule in southern Italy. It was later invasions, it is argued, that did most to reshape the politics of the Italian peninsula. These studies also look at social and economic effects of the French invasion, as well as its cultural aspects, not least the impact of Renaissance culture in France itself. Combining survey papers and research articles, this volume presents a new introduction to the history of late 15th-century Italy. The appendix, listing the Ilardi collection of microfilms, will also provide an invaluable guide to the diplomatic history of the era.
