1959223131959. Journal of the Aerospace Sciences 1959 documents foundational research in American aerospace engineering during the early Cold War space race. Published the year after the establishment of NASA and amid intensified U.S. efforts to match Soviet rocket achievements following the 1957 launch of Sputnik these issues contain contemporary technical studies on hypersonic aerodynamics missile stability spacecraft propulsion and planetary trajectory design. Articles by scientists and engineers working at leading research institutions and government laboratories record the theoretical groundwork that would shape the next decade of American spaceflight including early analytical work on Mars trajectories reentry materials and competing propulsion systems for interplanetary travel.<br /> <br /> Journal of the Aerospace Sciences. Volume 26 numbers 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 and 12. New York: Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences 1959. Eleven issues from the journal's 1959 volume lacking only the March issue. The periodical served as the principal research forum of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences the professional organization that later became the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Together these figures represent a cohort of scientists who would define American spaceflight theory and practice in the decade to come.Archive consists of 11 printed volumes in original wrappers approx. 50-80 pages per issue totaling over 800 pages.<br /> <br /> This archive includes:<br /> <br /> Volume 26 No. 1 January 1959: Features research on turbulent skin-friction drag at supersonic speeds jet nozzle structures nonlinear flutter problems and B-47 gust response.

Contributors include Carl Gazley Jr. Wallace D. Hayes and George Gerard.<br /> <br /> In 1959 the Journal of the Aerospace Sciences served as the official scientific platform for cutting-edge American aerospace research marking the transition from aeronautical to astronautical engineering. That year saw sustained focus on hypersonics ballistic missile trajectories spacecraft propulsion and heat transfer under extreme atmospheric conditions as the U.S. sought to stabilize its strategic position after the 1957 Sputnik crisis and ahead of the 1960 Mercury program. Research in these volumes was underwritten by military contracts NASA collaboration established in 1958 and Cold War exigencies. Light foxing to several wrappers particularly July issue; some edge wear and surface abrasions. Two issues show sticker residue at spine or lower edge. Interiors uniformly clean bindings firm and covers largely bright and intact. Overall very good condition. The studies record the technical environment that produced early American satellite programs and later lunar navigation systems linking university laboratories defense contractors and federal research agencies. unknown
18773543<p>Coleccion de articulos publicados por la voz de cuba sobre la cuestion de vento primera edicion habanaimprenta de rosendo espina 1877 caratulas originaleslibro originalestado regularla voz de cuba fue un periodico cubano del siglo XIX en este libro se publican articulos del ingeniero cubano francisco de albearcon respecto a la construccion del acueducto de vento en la habanaAsí a solicitud del capitán general de la Isla el coronel de ingenieros >Francisco de Albear y Fernández de Lara presentó en 1855 una "Memoria acerca del Proyecto de conducción a La Habana de las aguas de los manantiales de Vento" que proyectaba un sistema de acueducto de mampostería cerrado que conduciría por gravedad las aguas de dichos manantiales hasta su destino final a una distancia de once kilómetros. En la Memoria Albear realizó un estudio de los antecedentes y las posibilidades de aprovechamiento de los acueductos anteriores efectuó un cálculo de la dotación de agua para la ciudad valoró las dificultades para lograr la obra de captación en Vento y propuso el trazado del canal hasta el depósito.</p><p>Atendiendo a la extraordinaria complejidad de la obra y a las dificultades de su ejecución en el convulso período de la >Guerra de los diez años Albear elaboró y presentó en 1876 dos nuevos documentos: la "Memoria del Proyecto de depósito de recepción y de distribución de las obras del Canal de Vento" y la "Memoria del Proyecto de la distribución del agua de Vento en La Habana". En la primera valoraba los aspectos relativos a la ubicación altura capacidad y dimensiones del depósito así como otros aspectos tecnológicos; mientras que en la segunda se argumentaban las condiciones requeridas para un buen sistema de distribución dividido en dos partes interior y exterior así como las particularidades y aportes de cada una de ellas.</p>La inauguración del Acueducto de Albear denominado finalmente así tras la muerte de su artífice el 22 de octubre de 1887 no ocurriría hasta seis años más tarde el 23 de enero de 1893 en medio de condiciones políticas y económicas sumamente adversas plagadas de dificultades no sólo topográficas y tecnológicas sino incluso higiénicas en momentos en que las llamadas "fiebres de Vento" diezmaban a sus constructores. La etapa final de las obras a cargo de la firma Runkle Smith and Co. de Nueva York y encabezada por el ingeniero Sherman Gould por la parte norteamericana fue dirigida de acuerdo con los proyectos originales por un discípulo y continuador de Albear el coronel de ingenieros >Joaquín Ruiz. No obstante su artífice llegó a tener en vida la satisfacción de ver su proyecto premiado con Medalla de Oro en la Exposición Universal de >París de 1878 donde se la consideró como una obra maestra de la ingeniería del siglo XIX.

1950223221950. Complete 1950 run of Jazz Journal Vol. 3 Nos. 1-12. London: L. M. Publications 1950. Complete run of the 1950 volume. Twelve issues with each issue around 20 pages. Black-and-white photo illustrations throughout. Printed paper wraps. Founded in 1948 by editor Sinclair Traill Jazz Journal became a critical platform for serious jazz criticism in Britain at a time when the country began appreciating the impact of African American musical innovation. This volume features twelve monthly issues each spotlighting legendary musicians in deeply reverent portraits: Louis Armstrong Baby Dodds Coleman Hawkins Fats Waller Earl Hines and others. The December cover has a Christmas theme.<br /> <br /> This archive is a window into Britain's postwar jazz awakening. The articles range from retrospectives to musicology and artist discographies. Floyd Levin's "The American Jazz Scene" captures the transatlantic tone of the journal mourning the death of Buster Wilson and lauding figures like Sidney Anderson and Kid Ory as vanguards of "authentic" jazz-framed as endangered in a postwar America increasingly seduced by commercialism. Meanwhile Derrick Stewart-Baxter's "Preachin' the Blues" traces rural-to-urban migration patterns in blues development analyzing Sleepy John Estes' discography and folk influences. The December issue features a full-page bibliophilic essay "A Case for Books" reviewing A Treasury of the Blues by W. C. Handy whom it names "the composer of the classic Memphis Blues and Joe Turner Blues" emphasizing the book's role in preserving "the true and historical survey of the blues." Taken together the essays discographies and image curation construct a coherent theory of jazz not only as music but as cultural heritage. Moderate and consistent soiling and creasing to wrappers; binding intact but some covers remain delicate. Occasional chipping at spine. Covers remain vivid with strong photographic contrasts. Overall good condition. A complete year's run of one of the earliest and most influential British jazz journals with signatures from leading musicians of the era such as Armstrong Dodds and Hawkins. unknown
