Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xxix, [1], 280, [10] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Signed with sentiment and dated by compiler on the half-title page. Statement reads Nov. 14, 2018 "Everything in the world is done by and through people" HGR Paul; E. Cantonwine. The compiler has 20 years of experience working on nuclear fuel issues from cradle to grave - including the development, licensing and implementation of new fuel technology. With a Ph.D. In Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Virginia, his technical skills are in Mechanical Behavior of Materials, Statistical Data Analysis, Statistical Modeling, and Failure Analysis. Besides his over 25 published papers, Cantonwine published a collection of Admiral Rickover's essays in the book "The Never-Ending Challenge of Engineering. This book is a practical and philosophical look at the principles used by engineers and leaders from the perspective of Admiral Hyman George Rickover - one of America's greatest engineers. Admiral Rickover is an icon in the history of nuclear power, and one of his greatest contributions was to develop nuclear power technology to meet much higher safety and quality standards than past technological developments. The record of safety in his nuclear navy and in the US commercial nuclear industry is unique in the history of power technology, and thus the thoughts of the man most responsible for how nuclear power technology was developed in the United States should be of interest to all engineers and leaders working in a technical field-especially ones where customer/public safety and quality are paramount. Derived from a review by Will Davis, a former U.S. Navy reactor operator: In his preface, Cantonwine makes apparent the echoes of Rickover's influence that reverberate even today, not just in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, but also in the commercial nuclear power industry. Cantonwine has arranged the selections from Rickover's writings into four sections: "Becoming an Innovator," "Three American Innovators," "Engineering in Practice," and "Technology's Impact on Society." The fifth and final section includes a speech titled "Thoughts on Man's Purpose in Life," which Rickover wrote near the end of his life and delivered on a number of occasions. The book contains excerpts from a number of Rickover's writings, including one of his books in which he profiles each of the historical figures after whom were named the U.S. Navy's first 41 ballistic missile submarines, which were referred to at the time as the "41 for Freedom." The material from these documents provides a deep historical context and detailed explanations, as well as revelatory insight into the man himself. Historians will note Rickover's frequent inclusion of then-current themes in his speeches and writings. For example, there are undertones of the beginning of environmentalism, as well as of the long postwar decline of the United States as a forceful international power. Dedicated nuclear engineers will enjoy the chapter devoted solely to zirconium and will appreciate the preservation of a section of early reactor related metallurgy in the literature. Worthy of standing on its own, separate from the works of Rickover, is Cantonwine's brief yet comprehensive and insightful biography of the admiralâ"an absolute necessity given the distance in time from which we now view Rickoverâ"which serves as the introduction to the book. What will someone who has never experienced the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program gain from this book? Among other things, motivation, direction, and perhaps some surprises. In one speech, Rickover decries deforestation and the overfishing of the oceans and laments the currentâ"early 1960sâ"condition of the United States. Quite the studied and well-read man, Rickover is quoted in another paper as saying, "Familiarity with classical thought not only enriches life but is distinctly useful to any professional man." This was no ordinary sailor. For those interested in Rickover an.…
