paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Marley Jones is starting the 5th grade: a new school; a new sport; a new home. She wanted to do dance, but instead her parents got divorced, and she ended up in after-school swimming because some quack-job counselor told her dad it was a good way to blow off steam. And Marley hates swimming. Every practice is a gift of chlorine-scented hair, ear water, and creepy, can't-get-out-of-your-head shark facts that the popular girls keep telling her to make her squirm. The only good part about swim team is Omar, whose award-winning belly-flop could make a goat laugh. But even Omar's belly-flop won't be enough to keep Marley sane if she can't fix things with popular girls, escape counseling, and stop her best friend from moving to Alaska. 'The Deep End of Life is as charming in its shallows as it is poignant in its depths. Marley's story and voice leap with charm, while the struggle with her parents' divorce and her experience with therapy give the story weight and soul. A refreshing book for young readers and parents alike.' -ALLISON K. HYMAS, AUTHOR OF THE EXPLORER'S CODE.…

Wraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 15, [1] pages plus covers. Illustrations (some in color). Bibliography. Seymour Sack was one of the foremost U.S. nuclear weapons designers. Sack joined the Laboratory in 1955. Sack was instrumental in developing the first stages of thermonuclear devices. His weapon design programs introduced insensitive high explosives, fire-resistant plutonium pits and other state-of-the-art nuclear safety elements. Some of his design concepts are found in every one of the U.S. stockpile weapons - whether designed by Livermore or Los Alamos. He developed 2D design codes and in the early 1960s applied them to the design of the first safe, modern primary deployed in the Polaris warhead. He designed primaries for the first bombs small enough to be deployed in the Poseidon submarine-launched ballistic missile and the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile. Later, he turned his efforts to the conception and realization of the modern, extremely safe, air-carried nuclear weapon. In the 1980s, all of these safety innovations were brought together for the first time in a strategic warhead in the development of the Peacekeeper warhead - the safest, most advanced warhead in the active stockpile. Sack's long list of awards and recognition includes the E.O. Lawrence award in 1973, "for his innovative contributions to the theory of nuclear weapons, his development of computer codes fundamental to the design of modern nuclear weapons, his leadership in the development of new and important weapon design concepts, and his role in the engineering and testing of weapons for our nuclear stockpile." In 1997, he received the Fleet Ballistic Missile Achievement Award, which acknowledged his work on the W62 and W68 warheads. In 2003, Sack was awarded the prestigious Enrico Fermi award "for his contributions to the national security of the United States in his work assuring the reliability of nuclear weapons, and thus deterring war between the superpowers.".…
