From the publisher: "'Nineteenth Century British Women's Education' brings together key documents in the Victorian feminist campaign to establish and improve girls' and women's education. Drawing widely on articles from the feminist and established press government papers newspapers professional and association journals as well as memoirs addresses pamphlets and reviews this collection gives researchers access to nineteenth-century debates on improving girls' and women's education and women's work as educators. The collection is divided overall into two sections both of which incorporate materials that argue for the improvement of girls' and women's education as well as arguments made against education for girls and women. In examining the campaign to establish higher education for women the first volumes include the writings of such primary figures as Emily Davies Lydia Becker Barbara Bodichon Jessie Boucherett Josephine Butler Frances Power Cobbe Millicent Garrett Fawcett Maria Grey and Emily Shirreff in addition to illustrating the significance of institutions such as Girton and Newnham Colleges. Later volumes document women's work as educators and include writings by Mary Carpenter Dorothea Beale Frances Mary Buss and the Shirreff sisters Maria and Emily gifted educators of girls at the elementary and secondary levels and women whose educational practice embodied the arguments they made on behalf of girls' education. These volumes also chart the importance of the Governesses' Benevolent Institution the Schools Inquiry Commission and the 'Journal of Women's Education Union' in charting the increasing organization and professionalization of women teachers. Edited and with new introductions by Susan Hamilton and Janice Schroeder 'Nineteenth Century British Women's Education' is destined to be an invaluable reference resource to all future scholars of feminism and the history of education.".

1974rif. 90734Johnson Space Center Texas: U. S. Government Printing Office 1974. Presumed to have been uniquely signed in person. Photograph. Very good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. There is a quarter inch white border around the color image. At the bottom edge in the white space there is the following text: JSCL-119 ASTRONAUT DONALD K. SLAYTON U. S. Government Printing Office 1974-779 888/2. The color image is of the full face of Deke Slayton in has astronaut space suit showing him from the waist up. Near his ungloved hands is a spacecraft mode. Across his chest he has inscribed the photograph as follows "Best wishes to Randy Sarbocher -- Deke Slayton." The back of the photograph is blank. Donald Kent "Deke" Slayton March 1 1924 – June 13 1993 was an American Air Force pilot aeronautical engineer test pilot and one of the original NASA Mercury Seven astronauts. He went on to become NASA's first Chief of the Astronaut Office and Director of Flight Crew Operations responsible for NASA crew assignments. Slayton joined the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II and flew in Europe and the Pacific. He left the Army after World War II went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering from University of Minnesota in 1949 and later joined the Minnesota Air National Guard after working for Boeing as an aeronautical engineer. He joined the United States Air Force and attended the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School in 1955. In 1959 he applied to and was selected as one of the Mercury Seven NASA's first class of astronauts. Slayton was scheduled to pilot the second U.S. crewed orbital spaceflight but was grounded in 1962 by atrial fibrillation. In March 1972 he was medically cleared to fly and was the docking module pilot of the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project ASTP. Slayton continued to work at NASA until 1982. He also helped develop the Space Shuttle. In January 1959 Slayton was selected as one of the candidates for NASA's Project Mercury the first U.S. crewed space flight program. Slayton was psychologically and physically tested at the Lovelace Clinic in Albuquerque New Mexico along with fellow future astronauts Scott Carpenter and Jim Lovell. On April 2 1959 Slayton was notified of his selection as an astronaut. After a decade of seeing doctors around the world in 1971 Slayton was examined at the Mayo Clinic after a long period without heart fibrillation and was determined to not have a coronary condition. On March 13 1972 NASA announced that Slayton had returned to flight status. The Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft both launched on July 15 1975. He was 51 years old making him the oldest astronaut to fly in space at the time. U. S. Government Printing Office unknown
2005rif. 80249Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Exploration Systems Mission Directorate 2005. Draft Rev. 1. Disbound held together with a binder clip. Very good. vi 121 pages single-sided. Tables. Figures some with color. The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate known as ESMD at NASA Headquarters in Washington oversees the Constellation human research exploration technology development and lunar precursor robotic programs as well as the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services Project. The Constellation Program oversees work performed at a variety of NASA centers prime contractors and subcontractors located around the country. This work includes the Orion crew exploration vehicle the Ares I launch vehicle ground operations mission operations and extravehicular activity systems. The Constellation Program abbreviated CxP is a canceled crewed spaceflight program developed by NASA the space agency of the United States from 2005 to 2009. The major goals of the program were "completion of the International Space Station" and a "return to the Moon no later than 2020" with a crewed flight to the planet Mars as the ultimate goal. The program's logo reflected the three stages of the program: the Earth ISS the Moon and finally Mars—while the Mars goal also found expression in the name given to the program's booster rockets: Ares the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Mars. The technological aims of the program included the regaining of significant astronaut experience beyond low Earth orbit and the development of technologies necessary to enable sustained human presence on other planetary bodies. Constellation began in response to the goals laid out in the Vision for Space Exploration under NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe and President George W. Bush. O'Keefe's successor Michael D. Griffin ordered a complete review termed the Exploration Systems Architecture Study which reshaped how NASA would pursue the goals laid out in the Vision for Space Exploration and its findings were formalized by the NASA Authorization Act of 2005. The Act directed NASA to "develop a sustained human presence on the Moon including a robust precursor program to promote exploration science commerce and US preeminence in space and as a stepping stone to future exploration of Mars and other destinations." Work began on this revised Constellation Program to send astronauts first to the International Space Station then to the Moon and then to Mars and beyond. This Systems Engineering Management Plan is a rare surviving technical document from this canceled program. It addressed the System Engineering and Integration SE&I Approach the SE&I Roles and Responsibilities Pre-Phase A Systems Engineering and Integration Phase A Phase B Phase C Phase D and Phase E. These phases addressed safety and mission assurance systems management Systems Analysis Simulation-Based Acquisition Research and Technology Development Requirements Definition Test and Verification Operations Sustaining Engineering Functional Analysis Manufacturing and Assembly Launch Site Operations and Logistics Capability Development.

He was the commander of Apollo 8 the first mission to fly around the Moon and together with crewmates Jim Lovell and William Anders became the first of 24 humans to do so for which he was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Four days before he graduated with the West Point Class of 1950 in which he was ranked eighth out of 670 Borman was commissioned in the USAF. He qualified as a fighter pilot and served in the Philippines. He earned a Master of Science degree at Caltech in 1957 and then became an assistant professor of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics at West Point. In 1960 he was selected for Class 60-C at the USAF Experimental Flight Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California and qualified as a test pilot. On graduation he was accepted as one of five students in the first class at the Aerospace Research Pilot School. Borman was selected as a NASA astronaut with the second group known as the Next Nine in 1962. In 1966 he set a fourteen-day spaceflight endurance record as commander of Gemini 7. He served on the NASA review board which investigated the Apollo 1 fire and then flew to the Moon with Apollo 8 in December 1968. The mission is known for the Earthrise photograph taken by Anders of the Earth rising above the lunar horizon as the Command/Service Module orbited the Moon and for the reading from Genesis which was televised to Earth from lunar orbit on Christmas Eve. During the Apollo 11 Moon landing mission he was the NASA liaison at the White House where he viewed the launch on television with President Richard Nixon. After retiring from NASA and the Air Force in 1970 Borman became senior vice president for operations at Eastern Air Lines. He became chief executive officer of Eastern in 1975 and chairman of the board in 1976. Under his leadership Eastern went through the four most profitable years in its history.
