Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

24 cm, 152 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Ex-library with the usual library markings. Ex-Los Alamos National Laboratory library. Some sticker residue, wear and soiling noted. Derived from a symposium held 14 October 1982 at the National Academy of Sciences, and jointly sponsored by the Academy and by the National Air and Space Museum. Examines the motivations for the space program and analyzes the role of science, industry, and the government in the exploration of outer space. Among the contributors are Frank Press, John Logsdon, Bernard Schriever, Amitai Erzioni, Simon Ramo, Freeman Dyson, and Philip Morrison. The Symposium addressed The Motivations for Space Activity, The Practical Dimensions of Space and Science and Space. Dr. Allan A. Needell, curator emeritus, earned a BA in physics from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in history from Yale University. From 1978-81 he served as associate historian at the Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics, where he had responsibility for a project to investigate and recommend ways of identifying and preserving documents relating to the U.S. Department of Energy's research laboratories. Dr. Needell joined the National Air and Space Museum in 1981 with a specialization in Apollo artifacts. From 1999 to 2002, Dr. Needell served as chairman of the Space History Division. During that period he wrote articles on the history of physics, the origins of U.S. national laboratories, and government-science relations. He has edited The First 25 Years in Space: A Symposium. Dr. Needell is a curator emeritus. These proceedings, based on a symposium which examined the motivations, implications, accomplishments, and social impacts of the first 25 years in space, are presented in four sections. Section 1 includes an introduction by John Logsdon, a paper titled "Motivations for the Space Program: Past and Future" by Harvey Brooks, and comments by Bernard Schriever (considering military involvement in space after World War II) and Amitai Etzioni. Section 2 includes an introduction by Walter Sullivan, a paper titled "The Practical Dimensions of Space" by Simon Ramo, and comments by Roger Chevalier (considering the five issues raised in the paper) and Edwin Mansfield (focusing on the economic and commercial implications of the space program). Section 3 includes an introduction by Gerald Holton, a paper titled "Science and Space" by Freeman J. Dyson, and comments by Hendrik Van de Hulst and Gerald J. Wasserburg. Also included in each of these sections is a discussion related to the topic area under consideration. Concluding remarks by Philip Morrison are presented in the final section.
