The airplane : how ideas gave us wings / Jay Spenser
New York : HarperCollins 2008. First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight bright clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. ; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 340 pages; Description: x 340 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary: The inside story of how people invented and refined the airplane. Contents: Conception: the thinker and the dreamer -- Birth: Wilbur Orville and the world -- Configuration: shapes and ideas -- Fuselage: of drums and dragonflies -- Wings part I : from box kites to bridges -- Wings part II : cloud-cutting cantilevers -- Empennage: whale flukes and arrow feathers -- Flight controls: the chariot's reins -- Flight deck: cockpits for aerial ships -- Aero propulsion: Prometheus is pushing -- Landing gear: shoes canoes and carriage wheels -- Passenger cabin: voyaging aloft -- Systems integration: making flying safer -- Today's state of the art: the Boeing 787 Dreamliner -- Postscript: tomorrow's wings: future air travel technologies. Notes: Smithsonian books. Who were aviation's dreamers and from where did they draw their inspiration What lessons did inventors learn from birds insects marine mammals and fish that helped us fly How did the bicycle lead to the airplane and hot water heaters to metal fuselages And who figured out how to fly without seeing the ground setting the stage for scheduled airline services in all weather conditions In this entertaining history of the jetliner Jay Spenser follows the flow of simple yet powerful ideas to trace aviation's challenges. He introduces us to pioneers across continents and centuries sheds new insights on their contributions and evokes those key moments in history when piece by piece such innovators as Otto Lilienthal Igor Sikorsky Louis Ble; riot Hugo Junkers and Jack Northrop collectively solved the puzzle of flight. Along the way Spenser demystifies the modern jetliner. From wings to flight controls to fuselages to landing gear he examines the parts of the airplane to show how they came into being and have evolved over time. The Airplane culminates in a discussion of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and explores the possibilities for aviation's future. Includes bibliographical references p. 311-317 and index. Subjects: Airplanes --Design and construction --History. Aeronautics --Research --History. New York : HarperCollins unknown

Spenser M. D
Faery Queene Book 1
Oxford: Oxford 1995. green cloth light rubbing to corners. dusting to pasge edges. with notes & glossary. It is the central poem of the Elizabethan period and is one of the great long poems in the English language. A celebration of Protestant nationalism it represents infidels and papists as villains King Arthur as the hero and married chastity as its central value. The form of The Faerie Queene fuses the medieval allegory with the Italian romantic epic. The plan was for 12 books of which six were completed focusing on 12 virtues exemplified in the quests of 12 knights from the court of Gloriana the Faerie Queene a symbol for Elizabeth I herself. Arthur in quest of Gloriana's love would appear in each book and come to exemplify Magnificence the complete man. Spenser took the decorative chivalry of the Elizabethan court festivals and reworked it through a constantly shifting veil of allegory so that the knight's adventures and loves build into a complex multileveled portrayal of the moral life. The verse a spacious and slow-moving nine-lined stanza and Spenser's archaic language frequently rise to an unrivaled sensuousness. New Edition. Hard Back. Good/No Dj. 120x180mm. Oxford hardcover
