Gordon William Prange July 16 1910 – May 15 1980 was the author of several WWII historical manuscripts which were published by his co-workers after his death in 1980. Prange was a professor of history at the University of Maryland from 1937 to 1980 with a break of nine years 1942–1951 of military service in the United States Navy during World War II and in the postwar military occupation of Japan when he was the Chief Historian in General Douglas MacArthur's staff. During this time Prange collected material from and interviewed many Japanese military officers enlisted men and civilians with the information later being used in the writing of his books. Several became New York Times bestsellers including At Dawn We Slept The Untold Story of Pearl Harbor and Miracle at Midway. Prange's 1963 Tora! Tora! Tora! published first in Reader's Digest and later expanded into At Dawn We Slept. Derived from a Kirkus review: A massive history-- the late Professor Prange chief of military history in occupied Japan has looked into every aspect of the attack on Pearl Harbor--starting with the Japanese side of the story--and leaves no doubt that as his collaborators and posthumous editors write "Tokyo not Washington established Japan's foreign policy; the individual responsible for the attack was Isoruko Yamamoto not Franklin Delano Roosevelt." There is much new material--on such usually neglected matters too as: the Japanese war games used to refine the attack plan; the development of special bombs and torpedoes for use in the attack; Japanese intelligence operations in Hawaii--and American counterintelligence; the nature and function of the overlapping American commands in Hawaii. But Prange also presents the well-known material incisively: the historic March 1941 Bellinger-Martin report--a plan for joint Army/Navy action in the event of an attack on Oahu or fleet units in Hawaiian waters--is wrapped up with the observation that they ""could not have done a better job of mind reading had they actually looked over the shoulders of Yamamoto."" The controversy surrounding what happened thereafter or didn't happen engendered eight separate American postwar investigations--and it is in treating these that the book is most outstanding. Prange goes into the nature of each panel and evaluates its members procedures and conclusions; most he points out illustrate "hindsight at its hindmost." In an interesting appendix Goldstein and Dillon summarize Prange's criticisms of the revisionist Roosevelt-blaming histories of the attack. From first to last--responsible intelligent absorbing.

Foreword by Dr. Wernher von Braun. DJ edges worn and small chips missing DJ in plastic sleeve. The author was the President National Research and Development Corporation.

Ordway was educated at Harvard University and completed several years of graduate study at the University of Paris. He owned a large collection of paintings depicting astronautical themes. He was a member of leading professional societies and was the author co-author or editor of more than thirty books and over three hundred articles. At the time of his death he was the longest-serving member of the American Rocket Society joined in 1939.

Spaceflight also written space flight is ballistic flight into or through outer space. Spaceflight can occur with spacecraft with or without humans on board. Examples of human spaceflight include the U.S. Apollo Moon landing and Space Shuttle programs and the Russian Soyuz program as well as the ongoing International Space Station. Examples of unmanned spaceflight include space probes that leave Earth orbit as well as satellites in orbit around Earth such as communications satellites. These operate either by telerobotic control or are fully autonomous. Spaceflight is used in space exploration and also in commercial activities like space tourism and satellite telecommunications. Additional non-commercial uses of spaceflight include space observatories reconnaissance satellites and other Earth observation satellites. A spaceflight typically begins with a rocket launch which provides the initial thrust to overcome the force of gravity and propels the spacecraft from the surface of the Earth. Once in space the motion of a spacecraft—both when unpropelled and when under propulsion—is covered by the area of study called astrodynamics. Some spacecraft remain in space indefinitely some disintegrate during atmospheric reentry and others reach a planetary or lunar surface for landing or impact. McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc hardcover
2013réf. R4485Les Éditions de l'Homme 2013 Coffret illustré. Lunettes 3D et DVD inclus. Une promenade émouvante dans le temps «Dès l'avènement officiel de la photographie en 1839 les Québécois cultivent ce nouvel art de peindre avec la lumière. Les studios de Paris de Londres ou de New York donnent le ton à la pratique artistique du portrait et des genres et leur savoir-faire gagne Québec notre capitale nationale. Les créateurs d'ici révèlent de façon originale la cité fondée par Samuel de Champlain en 1608. Québec éternelle se traduit ainsi dans des décors émouvants et des vues à couper le souffle. Québec éternelle se définit dans une acropole fortifiée enveloppée dans un site montagneux où les clochers se disputent les batteries de canons d'une des grandes portes du continent le Gibraltar d'Amérique. Québec éternelle s'explique dans les trois cultures qui ont modelé son territoire l'amérindienne la française et celle des îles Britanniques. Québec éternelle s'incarne dans une population conditionnée par le majestueux et omniprésent fleuve Saint-Laurent une population installée dans une cité besogneuse à deux étages. Les premiers photographes de la cité de Champlain présentés dans ce livre qui ont notamment exercé leur art entre 1840 et 1885 développeront le cliché de Québec la signature visuelle de la ville française. Ils identifieront les caractères spécifiques de l'âme d'une cité et d'un pays. Panoramas paysages urbains et monuments uvres de l'Église de Rome et d'Angleterre fortifications militaires carrefour économique à l'ère des grands voiliers et des barons du bois merveilles culturelles et naturelles des alentours contexte géographique du pays voilà autant de chapitres éclairés par des artistes talentueux qui ont en même temps composé une inoubliable galerie de portraits. L'ouvrage élaboré en partie avec des oeuvres de la première technologie 3D est complété par un documentaire numérique et une paire de lunettes spéciales invitant le lecteur à une promenade en trois dimensions vers 1870 dans une ville d'une beauté et d'une originalité attachantes.» Livre surdimensionné pouvant nécessiter des frais d'envoi supplémentaires.
