In den WarenkorbTrade paperback. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 65, [1] plus covers. Color Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. This book provides an overview of the historic space telescope with sections that briefly describe its history, design, operations, and cultural impact. This book is a joint projects…of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the Space Telescope Institute. The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is a major NASA space research laboratory established on May 1, 1959 as NASA's first space flight center. GSFC is the largest combined organization of scientists and engineers in the United States dedicated to increasing knowledge of the Earth, the Solar System, and the Universe via observations from space. GSFC is a major U.S. laboratory for developing and operating unmanned scientific spacecraft. GSFC manages operations for many NASA and international missions including the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the Explorer program, the Discovery Program, the Earth Observing System (EOS), INTEGRAL, MAVEN, OSIRIS-REx, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and Swift. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. The HST is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. With a 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) mirror, Hubble's four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectra. Hubble's orbit outside the distortion of Earth's atmosphere allows it to take extremely high-resolution images, with substantially lower background light than ground-based telescopes. Many Hubble observations have led to breakthroughs in astrophysics, such as accurately determining the rate of expansion of the universe. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) selects Hubble's targets and processes the resulting data, while the Goddard Space Flight Center controls the spacecraft. Hubble is the only telescope designed to be serviced in space by astronauts. Ann Feild (Graphics Designer), Pat Izzo (Photograp (illustrator).

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xii, [4], 380, [4] pages. Map. Selected Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Terry Pindell is an American travel writer known primarily for three North American 'rail odysseys', through the USA, Canada and Mexico, each of which became the subj…ect of a travel book. He has also written a book on migration within the United States. The Toledo Blade said of his first book, Making Tracks: "Not since John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley has anyone put together a better story about America on the road." He is the grandson of a railroad engineer. Derived from a Kirkus review: Pindell rides ``the steel of Canada'' for a year. To Canada, railways have had an importance far beyond transportation needs. Pindell describes the role that trains and tracks have played in Canadian history. But he is also set on a little pulse-taking, so he talks to his fellow passengers who tell him about their lives, their politics, and their views on the US. Pindell begins with a trip from Toronto to Winnipeg on the Canadian. He ends a year later with the Canadian's last run from Vancouver to Toronto--a victim of cutbacks. In between, Pindell travels northwest as far as Prince Rupert; to Gaspe, where the people are predominantly French; to Churchill, where polar bears gather to hunt seals--and to wherever else all the other lines that still carry passengers over the Rockies and through the Maritimes take him. A sturdy piece of travel writing: readable, informative, and a railway buff's delight. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Very good. 40, [4] pages, including covers. Includes illustrations. Most illustrations in color. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This is the inaugural issue of Experimental Physical Science VISTAS and the content outlines the laboratory's national user facilities. . From a Los Alamos Experimental Physical Scie…nces website; "Research and experimental facilities spanning a broad range of complex scientific areas. Frequently our most basic research experiments stimulate solutions for some of the most intractable national security problems, such as: Nuclear weapons stewardship Homeland security Intelligence and information analysis Nuclear and alternative energy Our scientific success often stems from the capabilities of our world-class research and processing facilities, including our Los Alamos National Laboratory-based national user facilities: Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) The capabilities of our flagship facility, LANSCE, afford us a convenient and powerful opportunity to test our ideas. We often combine forces with colleagues in theoretical physics, high performance computing, and computational science to formulate experiments that can validate theories and computational models. National scientific user facilities provide researchers with the most advanced tools of modern science including accelerators, colliders, supercomputers, light sources and neutron sources, as well as facilities for studying the nanoworld, the environment, and the atmosphere. In Fiscal Year 2015 over 32,000 researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories, spanning all fifty states and the District of Columbia, utilized these unique facilities to perform new scientific research. A user facility is a federally sponsored research facility available for external use to advance scientific or technical knowledge under the following conditions: The facility is open to all interested potential users without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation. Allocation of facility resources is determined by merit review of the proposed work. User fees are not charged for non-proprietary work if the user intends to publish the research results in the open literature. Full cost recovery is required for proprietary work. The facility provides resources sufficient for users to conduct work safely and efficiently. The facility supports a formal user organization to represent the users and facilitate sharing of information, forming collaborations, and organizing research efforts among users. The facility capability does not compete with an available private sector capability. Inaugural Issue! Presumed first edition/first printing thus.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xiv, 302, [4] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author on the title page. Some page discoloration noted. Robert Wilson has been an award-winning editor at Preservation, Civilization, and The American Sch…olar, which he has edited since 2004. He writes often for magazines and newspapers and was on staff at USA Today and The Washington Post. The author of biographies of Mathew Brady, Clarence King, and P.T. Barnum, he lives in Manassas, Virginia. Clarence Rivers King (January 6, 1842 December 24, 1901) was an American geologist, mountaineer, and author. He was the first director of the United States Geological Survey from 1879 to 1881. Nominated by President Rutherford B. Hayes, King was noted for his exploration of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. King and his team explored areas from eastern California to Wyoming. During that time he published his famous Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada (1872). While King was finishing the Fortieth Parallel Survey, the western U.S. was abuzz with news of a secret diamond deposit. King and some of his crew tracked down the location in northwest Colorado and exposed it as a fraud, now known as the diamond hoax of 1872. In 1879, the US Congress consolidated the number of geological surveys exploring the American West and created the United States Geological Survey. King was chosen as its first director. He took the position with the understanding that it would be temporary and he resigned after twenty months, having overseen the organization of the new agency with an emphasis on mining geology. In this, one of the year's most compelling biographies, Robert Wilson paints a brilliant portrait of Clarence King -- a scientist-explorer whose mountain-scaling, desert-crossing, river-fording, blizzard-surviving adventures helped create the new West of the nineteenth century. A sort of Howard Hughes of the 1800s, Clarence King in his youth was an icon of the new America: a man of both action and intellect, who combined science and adventure with romanticism and charm. The Explorer King vividly depicts King's amazing feats and also uncovers the reasons for the shocking decline he suffered after his days on the American frontier. The Yale-educated King went west in 1863 at age twenty-one as a geologist-explorer. During the next decade he scaled the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada, published a popular book now considered a classic of adventure literature, initiated a groundbreaking land survey of the American West, and ultimately uncovered one of the greatest frauds of the century -- the Great Diamond Hoax, a discovery that made him an international celebrity at a time when they were few and far between. Through King's own rollicking tales, some true, some embroidered, of scaling previously unclimbed mountain peaks, of surviving a monster blizzard near Yosemite, of escaping ambush and capture by Indians, of being chased on horseback for two days by angry bandits, Robert Wilson offers a powerful combination of adventure, history, and nature writing. He also provides the bigger picture of the West at this time, showing the ways in which the terrain of the western United States was measured and charted and mastered, and how science, politics, and business began to intersect and influence one another during this era. Ultimately, King himself would come to symbolize the collision of science and business, possibly the source of his downfall. Fascinating and extensive, The Explorer King movingly portrays the America of the nineteenth century and the man who -- for better or worse -- typified the soul of the era.

In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 8.5 inches. 112 pages. Illustrations (color). Appendices (including publications). Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a federal research facility in Livermore, California, United States. The lab was originally e…stablished as the University of California Radiation Laboratory, Livermore Branch in 1952 in response to the detonation of the first atomic bomb by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It later became autonomous in 1971 and was designated a national laboratory in 1981. A federally funded research and development center, Lawrence Livermore Lab is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and it is managed privately and operated by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (a partnership of the University of California), Bechtel, BWX Technologies, AECOM, and Battelle Memorial Institute in affiliation with the Texas A&M University System. In 2012, the laboratory had the synthetic chemical element livermorium (element 116) named after it. This report provides 'a sampling' of some of the exciting work going on in the Computing Directorate at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Throughout its history, LLNL has been a leader in computers and scientific computing. Even before the Livermore Lab opened its doors, E.O. Lawrence and Edward Teller recognized the importance of computing and the potential of computational simulation. Their purchase of one of the first UNIVAC computers set the precedent for LLNL's history of acquiring and exploiting the fastest and most capable supercomputers in the world. A succession of increasingly powerful and fast computers have been used at the Lab over the years. LLNL researchers use supercomputers to answer questions about subjects such as materials science simulations, global warming, and reactions to natural disasters. LLNL has a long history of developing computing software and systems. Initially, there was no commercially available software, and computer manufacturers considered it the customer's responsibility to develop their own. Users of the early computers had to write not only the codes to solve their technical problems, but also the routines to run the machines themselves. Today, LLNL computer scientists focus on creating the highly complex physics models, visualization codes, and other unique applications tailored to specific research requirements. A great deal of software also has been written by LLNL personnel to optimize the operation and management of the computer systems, including operating systems such as TOSS, operating system extensions such as CHAOS (Linux Clustering), and resource management packages such as SLURM.[44] LLNL also initiated and continues leading the development of ZFS on Linux, the official port of ZFS to the Linux operating system.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xx, 244, [4] pages. Illustrations. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Slightly cocked. Inscribed by Donald Trump on the fep. Inscription reads: To Denise Keep Up the Great Work [printed by another hand] Donald Trump [his characteristic signature].*** From… Raptis Rare Books: Random House - States "First Edition" on the first printing, but does not indicate subsequent printings. In the 1970's, they added a number row beginning with the number 2 and removed the first edition statement from later printings***. This is the story of how Donald Trump engineered one of the most remarkable business comebacks in history, accumulating a net worth of well over $3 billion. Trump's story begins when many real estate moguls went belly-up in what he calls the Great Depression of 1990. Trump reveals how he renegotiated millions of dollars in bank loans and survived the recession, paving the way for a resurgence, during which he built the most successful casino operation in Atlantic City, broke ground on one of the biggest and most lucrative development projects ever undertaken in New York City, and won the rights to the Miss Universe pageant. Blunt, smart as hell, and full of hilarious stories, Trump tells it like it is: the women in his life; the wild and woolly deals; negotiating tactics; his investment philosophy; and his strategy for success or coming back from adversity. Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is certain about Donald Trump: He is a true American original, with great instincts and billion-dollar dreams. The Art of the Comeback is Trump at his best--unpredictable, irreverent, and irrepressible. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Some might consider that Trump extols his own brilliance here. His audacity is further on display in his challenge to his publisher not to excise his criticism of New Yorker editor Tina Brown for printing an unflattering profile she had assured him he'd "love"--Brown's husband, readers will recall, is Harry Evans, head of Random House in the Newhouse conglomerate that owns Trump's publisher as well as the New Yorker. His book also becomes an occasion to get even with perceived wrongs: "You've got to tackle and hit real hard." Writing with CNBC correspondent Bohner, The Donald lets rip--at the press, which is rarely complimentary toward him; at women who, like Alley Cat, claim he's smitten with them; at folk who try to shake his hand. Readers will be amused that Trump considers himself irresistible to women but doesn't seem to have factored in his wealth as an aphrodisiac. As his book's title makes clear, Trump, who had widely reported financial problems earlier in the decade, now has many real-estate projects under way, which he publicizes extensively in this book. Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in 1968. He became president of his father Fred Trump's real estate business in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization. Trump expanded the company's operations to building and renovating skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. From 2004 to 2015, he co-produced and hosted the reality television series The Apprentice. In 1982, Trump made the initial Forbes list of wealthy people for holding a share of his family's estimated $200 million net worth. His losses in the 1980s dropped him from the list between 1990 and 1995. After filing mandatory financial disclosure forms with the FEC in July 2015, he announced a net worth of about $10 billion. Records released by the FEC showed at least $1.4 billion in assets and $265 million in liabilities. Forbes estimated his net worth at $4.5 billion in 2015 and $3.1 billion in 2018. In its 2021 billionaires ranking, it was $2.4 billion (1,299th in the world), making him one of the wealthiest officeholders in American history. Trump attracted public attention in 1978 with the launch of his family's first Manhattan venture, the renovation of the derelict Commodore Hotel, adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. The financing was facilitated by a $400 million city property tax abatement arranged by Fred Trump, who also joined Hyatt in guaranteeing $70 million in bank construction financing. The hotel reopened in 1980 as the Grand Hyatt Hotel, and that same year, Trump obtained rights to develop Trump Tower, a mixed-use skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan. The building houses the headquarters of the Trump Corporation and Trump's PAC and was Trump's primary residence until 2019.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 8.75 inches by 1.25 inches. 160 pages. Illustrations (8 color plates + ca. 136 full-page b&w). The DJ has minor wear and soiling. Introduction by Irwin Glusker. A fascinating compendium of the art…ist's eclectic work. This present volume contains twenty portfolios, each of them covering a single subject. Except for a brief introduction, there is n text. John Rombola's whimsical pieces have appeared on book covers and stages, in magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and even Bergdorf Goodman's Fifth Avenue windows. His imaginatively intricate and captivating drawings burst with fierce color, peculiar beings, patterns and repetition â" the product of a lifetime toiling to capture and hold his viewer in a trance. Rombola was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1933. His mother, a pattern cutter in the high-end garment business, surrounded herself with style magazines featuring the era's great photographers. Intrigued at an early age by these images, Rombola honed his interests at Pratt Institute. Early Andy Warhol and Saul Steinberg illustrations share the detailed, fantastic sophistication of Rombola's work, but while Steinberg found his niche at the New Yorker and Warhol experimented and diverted toward fame, Rombola persisted with his style and preserved the eccentricity of his vision. His career began with nascent eccentric legends Bert Stern and Irwin Glusker; commissioned by Frank Zachary, his travels to Italy and Trinidad inspired much of his most impassioned work. Rombola remains confident and unassuming, pensive and imaginative, tranquil and constantly creating. John Rombola started his career illustrating for magazines, and his work frequently appeared in Life, Holiday, and Town & Country. Recently rediscovered by a new generation of art and design lovers, John Rombola's rambunctious, spirited art is again widely appreciated. His most well-known works include his line drawings of the New York skyline, his scintillating take on Manhattan's society women, and lush gouache and ink drawings from his travels, both real and imagined, to the tropics and to Europe. Lively and often funny, the drawings reveal the spirited style of an eccentric artist who moves to his own, whimsical rhythm. Rombola works primarily in gouache and ink on paper; his art is in the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. John Rombola (Drawings) and James Moore (Photograp (illustrator).
