Many came searching for the streets they had heard were paved with gold and found that not only were they not paved with gold, the streets were not paved at all, and the Irish were expected to pave them. And so they did. Through moving text and more than 200 extraordinary images, THE IRISH IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE pays tribute to the Irish in America, to their courage, their trials and their successes. We are given tangible proof of the grace, spirit, strength and passion of these remarkable people. The story of the Irish American is sometimes amazing, often amusing, frequently distressing, but always inspiring. It tells us not only who are the Irish in America, but what America itself is all about. ; FINE/FINE. Book.…

Wraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. v, [1], 70, [2] pages plus covers. Illustrations (many with color). Miniflyer Publications. References. This paper describes a laser-driven MiniFlyer system used at Los Alamos National Laboratory for small-scale shock physics research. The system consists of a single shot Nd:glass driving laser; beam shaping optics; a sample holder, containing the flyer plate assembly and target material; and diagnostic equipment such as velocity interferometers. The beam from the driving laser, when incident on the flyer plate assembly, generates plasma that launches a small thin flyer plate ( 3 mm in diameter by 0.05 to 0.10 mm thick) at velocities up to 1 mm/us. This flyer plate impacts a target material, producing a shock wave. Various dynamic material properties, such as spall strength, can be determined from these experiments. The laser driving system is described in detail, along with several types of diagnostics used to determine the nature of the experiments and to measure the shock parameters. In addition, experiments are described to provide information about the type of research that can be done with this system. Data from these experiments are shown to add important new information concerning the dynamic spall behavior of copper. The experimental layout addressed drive laser characteristics, substrate window coating, flyer plates, target description, sample holders, VISAR setup, Line ORVIS, and a Stereoscopic Camera system. Representative measurements included General Flyer Velocity versus Driving-Laser Energy, Copper Spall Measurements, Uranium Spall Measurements, Stereo Measurement, and Hugoniot Measurement with the ORVIS. Modeling of the Laser/Substrate/Coatings/Flyer interaction was addressed followed by a discussion of conclusion and future work.…

Hardcover. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. Presumed first edition/first printing. VOLUME IV ONLY. xxxi, [1], 684 pages. 25 cm. Illustrations. Biographies of Volume IV Contributors. Glossary. Biographical Appendix. Index. Essays on Access to Space, Developing the Space Shuttle, Commercializing Space Transportation, and Exploring Future Space transportation Possibilities. Slight wear and soiling to DJ. This is part of the NASA History Series. John M. Logsdon is Charles A. Lindbergh Chair in Aerospace History at the National Air and Space Museum; From 1987 to mid-2008, Logsdon was Director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, where he is also Professor Emeritus of Political Science and International Affairs. Dr. Logsdon's research interests focus on the policy and historical aspects of U.S. and international space activities. Dr. Logsdon is the author of The Decision to Go to the Moon: Project Apollo and the National Interest and is general editor of the eight-volume series Exploring the Unknown: Selected Documents in the History of the U.S. Civil Space Program. He has written numerous articles and reports on space policy and history. He is frequently consulted by the electronic and print media for his views on space issues. This volume is the fourth in a series that had its origins in the 1990s. The individuals involved in initiating the series and producing the first two volumes have been acknowledged. An exception must be made for NASA Chief Historian Roger D. Launius, who has become not only a strong supporter of this series but also an essential collaborator in its implementation. One of the most important developments of the twentieth century has been the movement of humanity into space with machines and people. The underpinnings of that movementâ"why it took the shape it did; which individuals and organizations were involved; what factors drove a particular choice of scientific objectives and technologies to be used; and the political, economic, managerial, and international contexts in which the events of the space age unfoldedâ"are all important ingredients of this epoch transition from an Earthbound to a spacefaring people. This desire to understand the development of spaceflight in the United States sparked this documentary history series. The documents selected for inclusion in this volume are presented in four major chapters, each covering a particular aspect of access to space and the manner in which it has developed over time. These chapters focus on the evolution toward the giant Saturn V rocket, the development of the Space Shuttle, space transportation commercialization, and future space transportation possibilities. Each chapter in this volume is introduced by an overview essay, prepared by individuals who are particularly well qualified to write on the topic. In the main, these essays are intended to introduce and complement the documents in the chapter and to place them, for the most part, in a chronological and substantive context. Each essay contains references to the documents in the chapter it introduces, and many also contain references to documents in other chapters of the collection. The contents of this volume emphasize primary documents or long-out-of-print essays or articles and material from the private recollections of important actors in shaping space affairs. Key legislation and policy statements are also included. The contents of this volume thus do not comprise in themselves a comprehensive historical account; they must be supplemented by other sources, those both already available and to become available in the future. Indeed, a few of the documents included in this collection are not complete; some portions of them were still subject to security classification as the volume went to print.

The present collection offers a window into the literary world of American poet and humorist Ogden Nash (1902-1971). It is comprised of 239 volumes published between 1886 and 1971, among which are numerous presentation and association copies. All books in the present collection come from the shared personal library of Ogden and Frances Nash. The collection spans poetry, humor, light verse, and literary criticism, and includes a significant number of first and limited editions, often in original bindings or dust jackets. Of particular note are six books inscribed by Nash to his wife, Frances (including five authored by Nash, one of which is in an "Author's Copy" half-leather binding). Included in the collection are 59 works by Nash, three of which feature edits to the text in Nash's hand. Twenty-seven of these Nash publications are Author's copies bound in half-leather. There are an additional 48 volumes bearing inscriptions to Nash from other authors and poets, most notably twelve volumes inscribed by S.J. Perelman. Among the 132 uninscribed volumes included here, 45 bear Ogden Nash's ownership inscription (10 bear the ownership inscription of Frances Nash). The number and range of authorial inscriptions represented in the present collections reflect Nash's wide-ranging literary friendships and professional associations. Notable among these are twelve warmly inscribed titles by humorist S.J. Perelman, whose acerbic wit is on display in a series of affectionate, playful, and sometimes satirical inscriptions to both Nash and his wife, Frances. These volumes also reflect Perelman and Nash's shared experiences in Hollywood and the literary scene of mid-century America. Other highlights include inscriptions from John Betjeman, Christopher Morley, E.C. Bentley, A.P. Herbert, David McCord, William Plumer Fowler, and Holger Lundbergh, among others-each evidencing Nash's influence and the esteem in which he was held across literary and cultural circles in the U.S. and the U.K. Of particular note are the six books personally inscribed by Ogden Nash to his wife, Frances, often composed in his characteristic rhymed style. These inscriptions reflect a deep relationship of tenderness, humor, and enduring partnership. The collection also includes school prize books awarded to Nash in the 1910s, including works by Matthew Arnold, Robert Burns, and Aeschylus, many bound in gilt-tooled leather and bearing formal prize inscriptions from St. George's School. These early items chart the poet's formative years and offer rare provenance tied to his intellectual development. 1399573. Special Collections - Upstairs.…
