Private investigator Al Colby, hired to find a man who had disappeared from Pasadena five years earlier, follows the "very, very cold trail of the very, very mysterious Mr. Parker" to Mexico City, and from thence to Santiago, Chile, where he finds himself "mixing it with a fistful of Chilean grandees, a beautiful and agreeable American named Ann Farrell and someone -- he didn't quite know who -- who seemed intent on killing him before he got a line on his quarry."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A Study of the Rhetorical Question in the Attic Orators' by Arthur Farwell Dodge, offers a detailed exploration into the use of rhetorical questions within the works of ancient Greek orators. Focusing particularly on how these figures of speech influence the tone and style of the orations, Dodge provides valuable insights into classical rhetoric. This study delves into the nuances of Attic oratory, examining how rhetorical devices were employed to persuade and engage audiences. It serves as a useful resource for students and scholars interested in classical literature, rhetoric, and the art of public speaking.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Third printing [stated]. xvii, [3], 729, [3] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Formulae. Index. Bookplate inside front cover. The author and contributors seem to be associated with the Naval Research Laboratory. This is one of the Principles of Guided Missile Design series edited by Captain Grayson Merrill, USN. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Previous owner's name and bookplate inside front cover. From the publisher: "The first comprehensive treatment of the basic principles of missile guidance, this book considers every fundamental problem encountered in guiding a controlled missile reliably to its target. An essential background for work with missile guidance systems, for professional engineers, technical officers of the armed services, instructors and graduate students.". Missile guidance refers to a variety of methods of guiding a missile or a guided bomb to its intended target. The missile's target accuracy is a critical factor for its effectiveness. Guidance systems improve missile accuracy by improving its "Single Shot Kill Probability" (SSKP), which is part of combat survivability calculations associated with the salvo combat model. These guidance technologies can generally be divided up into a number of categories, with the broadest categories being "active," "passive" and "preset" guidance. Missiles and guided bombs generally use similar types of guidance system, the difference between the two being that missiles are powered by an onboard engine, whereas guided bombs rely on the speed and height of the launch aircraft for propulsion. The concept of missile guidance originated at least as early as World War I, with the idea of remotely guiding an airplane bomb onto a target. In World War II, guided missiles were first developed, as part of the German V-weapons program. Project Pigeon was American behaviorist B.F. Skinner's attempt to develop a pigeon-guided missile. The first U.S. ballistic missile with a highly accurate inertial guidance system was the short-range Redstone. Guidance systems are divided into different categories according to what type of target they are designed for - either fixed targets or moving targets. The weapons can be divided into two broad categories, Go-Onto-Target (GOT) and Go-Onto-Location-in-Space (GOLIS) guidance systems. A GOT missile can target either a moving or fixed target, whereas a GOLIS weapon is limited to a stationary or near-stationary target. The trajectory that a missile takes while attacking a moving target is dependent upon the movement of the target. Also, a moving target can be an immediate threat to the sender of the missile. The target needs to be eliminated in a timely fashion in order to preserve the integrity of the sender. In GOLIS systems the problem is simpler because the target is not moving.

A visual document of Peary's fourth expedition to Arctic latitudes, compiled by one of the six Boston-area academics invited by Peary to undertake scientific research in Greenland. The well-composed photographs capture the appearance of human habitations and of icy vistas at Karajak. During the US North Greenland Expedition, 1893-5, Peary sighted and reached the Cape York Meteorite, becoming the first Western explorer to achieve this feat, and his 1896 return to Greenland was his first concerted effort to locate and remove the largest fragment. Peary, his assistants, and the Boston group, together with a team from Cornell University, travelled to Greenland onboard the steam whaler Hope. The ship was commanded by the experienced Arctic seaman Captain John Bartlett (1848-1927), who had skippered the Kite on its mission to relieve Peary in 1895. The party spent over a month in Greenland, the Bostonians splitting off from the main group at the settlement of Uummannaq on 5 August and spending the next month undertaking research on wildlife and glaciers in the vicinity. Reunited in September, the expedition returned to America in late September. Dodge (1862-1926), who was recruited while in training to become a doctor at Harvard University, described the expedition in his article "A Summer Voyage to Greenland" (The Granite Monthly, February 1898, pp. 63-71). The first photographs show the 23-man party on the Hope, Peary standing towards the top of the stairs in a light-coloured jacket. In the front row crouches Matthew Henson, the African-American polar explorer who was central to Peary's later attainment of the pole. The following two photographs show Uummannaq. While based at the settlement, the group ventured to Ikerasak, some 30 miles away, Dodge photographing the stone church, Inuit in front of an umiak boat, and a portrait of a Danish trader with his Inuit wife and children, captioned "Governor of Ikerasak and family." The party also travelled 60 miles up the fjord to the Karajak glaciers, the largest (photographed by Dodge from a distance and in close up) around five miles across at its front. The final images show a member of the party sketching and Niantilik, Blacklead Island, where the Hope stopped on the journey home. Dodge's letters home from the expedition are held by the New York Public Library (MssCol 6381), and Dartmouth holds a collection of 104 of Dodge's photographs from Greenland. Four photographs in this album - two from Ikerasak and two from Karajak - were published in Dodge's Granite Monthly article, although one ("Great Karajak Glacier") was cropped. Writing his piece, Dodge was convinced of Peary's potential for further greatness: "I will close this little sketch of my Arctic experience with the prophecy that the North pole is reached within five years, and that Lieutenant Peary is the man who will have the honor of hoisting Old Glory over the spot from which every direction is south" (p. 71). Oblong folio (190 x 1290 mm). Together, 13 green leaves, tied with cream ribbon, first decoratively hand-lettered in silver and white, remainder each with mounted matt gelatin silver photograph (c. 120 x 190 mm), 12 photographs in total, pencilled captions (likely in Dodge's hand). Offsetting on verso of final leaf, a little fading and touch of edge-wear to photographs, most with creasing at lower left corner: near-fine.
