SHEEHAN WILLIAM
The Planet Mars: A History Of Observation And Discovery
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 1996. Softcover. Brand new book. Twenty years after the Viking missions of the '70s we are finally going back to Mars. No fewer than ten missions are planned for the period between 1996 and 2003 and it is likely that human explorers will follow soon after--perhaps by the middle of the twenty-first century. When they do they will owe much to the Mars of romance to the early pioneers whose discoveries and disappointments are brought to life in The Planet Mars: A History of Observation and Discovery. In this timely and vividly written account William Sheehan traces human fascination with Mars back to the naked-eye observers of the planet. He recalls the early telescopic observers who first made out enigmatic markings and polar caps on its surface. Through lively historical anecdotes he describes in detail the debate over the so-called canals of Mars which encouraged speculation that the planet might be inhabited. Finally Sheehan describes more recent theories about the planet leading up to the present when unmanned spacecraft have enabled us to make giant strides in exploration. Well documented and sparked with human interest this book will be a useful companion and guide in interpreting the barrage of headlines about Mars that is sure to come over the next few years. Amateurs will appreciate the contributions that have been made to Martian studies by people like themselves and professionals will find much original material that has never before been published. The American Mars Global Surveyor is scheduled for launch in November 1996 and soon after the American Mars Pathfinder will make its way toward the red planet. A Russian mission consisting of an orbiter and two landers will be launched in October 1997. These space travelers will write a whole new chapter in the dramatic story of Mars a planet whose exploration has only just begun. Astronomy Book Club main selection and selections of Book-of-the-Month Club and Quality Paperback Book Club. University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 1996 paperback

No margin notes. Bright clean square and tight. Sharp corners. Lavishly illustrated with 130 photos and 12 full-color plates paintings. Bibliography. Index. From the Dust Jacket: "Fighter Ace! the words conjure up romantic images of dawn patrols the 'Red Baron' the Spitfire and the Battle of Britain. In this comprehensive history Christopher Shores has gone behind the popular mythology surrounding the subject to examine in detail the careers of the most successful fighter pilots thrown up since the first great ace Leutnant Max Immelmann came to the fore on the Western Front in 1915. In addition to the wealth of black-and-white illustrations of the great aces and the aircraft they flew twelve specially commissioned paintings record some of the most memorable combats in the story of the fighter ace. They include Werner Voss's last combat in his black Fokker Triplane in September 1917; Dick Bong the great USAAF ace in action over Guadalcanal in his P-38 Lightning in 1943; and a clash over North Vietnam between a USAF Thunderchief and a MiG-21 of the North Vietnamese Air Force." Beautiful full color wrap-around Dust Jacket painting by Michael Turner. First Edition No Additional Printings. Hard Cover. Publisher's blue boards/Jacket not priced or clipped.

SIBTU'L-MARDINÎ [BADR AL-DÎN MUHAMMAD B. MUHAMMAD B. AHMAD AL-MARDÎNÎ], (Egyptian mathematics and astronomy scholar), (1423-1493).
[ASTRONOMY - MATHEMATICS - ARABIC MANUSCRIPT: JAYB & MUQANTARÂT; SINUS & ALMUCANTAR QUADRANT] Hadhâ risâle-i rüb'u mukantarât, Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb taraf, Hadha mukharrar latashich al-shaat fî taraf al-cayb min al-rub'u' mu'âl-ihtizâr.
Very Good Arabic Original manuscript without binding. 12mo. (16 x 11 cm). In Arabic. [40] p., drawings, and tables. Marginal texts additionally. A linear wormhole on the bottom from beginning to the end, the thread in the spine is broken hence two separate parts. Otherwise a good copy. Rare manuscript compiled from works related to astronomical instruments written by probably Sibtu'l-Mardînî, copied anonymously in the early 19th century on the paper with 'ahar' with four marginal drawings and tables. The copier of this manuscript is not described. An 'Ebced' notes on the last blank page. The manuscript starts with a calendar in the Islamic system which is prepared with red and black inks and annotated info around the table. The first part includes how to use an almucantar, directions on the sphere, location of the stars in the sky. On the last two pages, the author describes the preparation of an almucantar. The second part is titled "Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb tarafi" [i.e. Tractate on the South direction], and the third and last part titled " Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb taraf, Hadha mukharrar latashich al-shaat fî taraf al-cayb min al-rub'u' mu'âl-ihtizâr", includes some 'sinus mathematics' with two impressive tables on the opposite page. Sibt al-Maridini, the full name Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Ghazal (1423-1493), was an Egyptian-born astronomer and mathematician. His father came from Damascus. The word "Sibt al-Maridini" means "the son of Al-Mardini's daughter". His maternal grandfather, Abdullah al-Mardini, was a reputed astronomer of the eighth century AH. He was a disciple of the astronomer Ibn al-Majdi (d. 850/1506). Sibt al-Mardini taught mathematics and astronomy in the Great Mosque of al-Azhar, Cairo. He was also a timekeeper (muwaqqit) of the mosque. He wrote no fewer than fifty treatises in astronomy (sine quadrants, sundials, astronomical tables, and prayer times) and wrote at least twenty-three mathematics textbooks. Al-Sakhawy counted two hundred books that were written by Sibt al-Mardini, on Islamic law, astronomy, and mathematics. Libraries that specialize in ancient manuscripts, all over the world, have transcripts of his works. Sibt al-Mardini's declared that "the opinion of the muezzins (those who call people to prayer) is less correct than that of the legal scholars and it is the latter that should be used as the basis for the determination of prayer time". (Wikipedia). Sib? al-Maridini was a prolific author of astronomical texts, which were still being used and studied into the 19th century. Little is known with certainty about his life. It is thought that he grew up in Damascus, where his maternal grandfather, Abd Allâh ibn Khalîl ibn Yûsuf Jamâl al-Dîn al-Mâridînî (died: 1406), was the muwaqqit (timekeeper) in charge of regulating the daily rituals of the Islamic community) of the Umayyad Mosque. Later he traveled to Cairo, where tradition places him as a student of Ibn al-Majdî. Sib? al-Mâridînî wrote extensively on mathematics and mathematical astronomy. Like his grandfather, he was especially interested in astronomical instruments. The bio-bibliographical sources list some 25 treatises, many of which exist today in multiple copies. According to the historian al-Jabarti (died: 1822), Sib? al-Mâridînî's works on mîqât (ritual timekeeping) and astronomical instruments were still being studied in the curriculum of Cairo's al-Azhar, one of the preeminent educational institutions in the Islamic world, at about the beginning of the 19th century. (Biographical encyclopedia of astronomers, 2007).
