‎Diaries 1857-1917‎

‎Dayton Ohio: Wright State University 1999. 7.75" wide by 10.25" tall. Fine condition in Near Fine Dust Jacket just a touch of rubbing. No chips. No tears. No creases. Not a book club edition. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder marks. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Clean square tight and unmarked. From the Dust Jacket: "These diaries of the father of Wilbur and Orville Wright record the full range of experiences of his adult life from 1857 to his death in 1917. They provide a detailed chronicle of Milton Wright's dynamic and sometimes controversial ministry and leadership in the United Brethren Church and his role as the father of the famed inventors of powered flight� Probably the most important contribution the diaries make to present day scholarship on the Wright Brothers is the greater knowledge we gain about the dynamics of the Wright family� Taken as a whole the diaries provide an essential resource in the study of the history of the Wright Brothers' career in aviation the history of the United Brethren Church and the life of a man dedicated to his family and his church." kEYWORDS: Wright Brothers.

‎The Adventures of Sojourner : The Mission to Mars That Thrilled the World‎

‎New York: Mikaya Press 1998. Well illustrated small slim quarto pp 64 paperback the slightest signs of use but a very good copy. On July 4 1997 The Mars Pathfinder lander cocooned in an ungainly mass of airbags was dropped from a parachute 40 feet above Mars. It slammed to the surface kicked up the red Martian dust bounced along like a giant beach ball and rolled to a stop. Pathfinder's three solar panel "petals" unfolded. Nestled inside was Sojourner a one foot high remote control vehicle that looked like something you might find under a Christmas tree. The world had a new hero. The Mars mission was a genuine phenomenon. In a one month period there were over a half billion hits on the mission's web site breaking all records by hundreds of millions of hits. The most watched most talked about space flight since men had landed on the Moon it was also the most unlikely. In The Adventures of Sojourner Susi Trautmann Wunsch tells the entire story: from the small team of young scientists testing a simplified common sense of technology to the tension of blast off to the wild bounce landing to Sojourner's trials and tribulations along the rocky road of Mars to ultimate and resounding success. It is a page-turning narrative that along the way explains the intricacies of planetary exploration to a new generation of young readers. The diagrams and artist's conceptions make space technology instantly accessible. The photographs of little Sojourner tooling along the dusty red emptiness of Mars make space travel seem not so distant at all. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Mikaya Press Paperback‎
