Various paginations approximately 125 pages. References. From Wikipedia: "The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center DLR to construct and maintain an airborne observatory. NASA awarded the contract for the development of the aircraft operation of the observatory and management of the American part of the project to the Universities Space Research Association USRA in 1996. The DSI Deutsches SOFIA Institut manages the German parts of the project which are primarily science and telescope related. SOFIA's telescope saw first light on May 26 2010. SOFIA is the successor to the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.SOFIA is based on a Boeing 747SP wide-body aircraft that has been modified to include a large door in the aft fuselage that can be opened in flight to allow a 2.5 meter diameter reflecting telescope access to the sky. This telescope is designed for infrared astronomy observations in the stratosphere at altitudes of about 41 000 feet about 12 km. SOFIA's flight capability allows it to rise above almost all of the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere which blocks some infrared wavelengths from reaching the ground. At the aircraft's cruising altitude 85% of the full infrared range will be available. The aircraft can also travel to almost any point on the Earth's surface allowing observation from the northern and southern hemispheres. Once ready for use the expectation is for observing flights to be flown 3 or 4 nights a week for the next 20 years. SOFIA is now based at NASA's Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility at LA/Palmdale Regional Airport California while staff at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View California operate the SOFIA Science Center where astronomical observation missions are planned for the flying observatory. The NASA logo reflected in SOFIAs 2.5-meter primary mirror. SOFIA uses a 2.5-meter reflector telescope which has an oversized 2.7 meter diameter primary mirror as is common with most large infrared telescopes. The optical system uses a Cassegrain reflector design with a parabolic primary mirror and a remotely configurable hyperbolic secondary. In order to fit the telescope into the fuselage the primary is shaped to an f-number as low as 1.3 while the resulting optical layout has an f-number of 19.7. A flat tertiary dichroic mirror is used to deflect the infrared part of the beam to the Nasmyth focus where it can be analyzed. An optical mirror located behind the tertiary mirror is used for a camera guidance system. The telescope looks out of a large door in the side of the fuselage near the airplane's tail and will initially carry nine instruments for infrared astronomy at wavelengths from 1 655 micrometres and high-speed optical astronomy at wavelengths from 0.3 1.1 micrometres. The main instruments are the FLITECAM a near infrared camera covering 1 5 micrometres; FORCAST covering the mid-infrared range of 5 40 micrometres and HAWC which spans the far infrared in the range 42 210 micrometres. The other four instruments include an optical photometer and infrared spectrometers with various spectral ranges. SOFIA s telescope is by far the largest ever to be placed in an aircraft. For each mission one interchangeable science instrument will be attached to the telescope. Two groups of general purpose instruments are available. In addition an investigator can also design and build a special purpose instrument. On April 17 2012 two upgrades to HAWC were selected by NASA to increase the field of view with new detector arrays and to add the capability of measuring the polarization of dust emission from celestial sources. The open cavity housing the telescope will be exposed to high-speed turbulent winds. In addition the vibrations and motions of the aircraft introduce observing difficulties. The telescope was designed to be very lightweight with a honeycomb shape milled into the back of the mirror and polymer composite material used for the telescope.

Very good. 3 38 3 plus covers. Timeline. Illustrations many in color. Maps. The 1958 US-UK Mutual Defense Agreement or UK-US Mutual Defence Agreement is a bilateral treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom on nuclear weapons cooperation. The treaty's full name is Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for Cooperation on the uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense Purposes. It allows the United States and the UK to exchange nuclear materials technology and information. While the US has nuclear cooperation agreements with other countries including France and some NATO countries this agreement is by far the most comprehensive. Harold Macmillan called it "the Great Prize". The treaty was signed on 3 July 1958 after the Soviet Union shocked the American public with the Sputnik crisis on 4 October 1957 and the British hydrogen bomb programme successfully tested a hydrogen bomb in the Operation Grapple test on 8 November 1957. The Anglo-American Special Relationship proved mutually beneficial although it was never one of equals; the United States was far larger than Britain both militarily and economically. Britain soon became dependent on the United States for its nuclear weapons as it lacked the resources to produce a range of designs. The treaty allowed American nuclear weapons to be supplied to Britain through Project E for the use by the Royal Air Force and British Army of the Rhine. The treaty provided for the sale to the UK of one complete nuclear submarine propulsion plant plus ten years' supply of enriched uranium to fuel it. Other nuclear material was also acquired from the United States under the treaty. including 7.5 tonnes of highly enriched uranium although much of the highly enriched uranium was used as fuel for the growing fleet of UK nuclear submarines. The treaty paved the way for the Polaris Sales Agreement and the Royal Navy ultimately acquired entire weapons systems with the UK Polaris programme and Trident nuclear programme using American missiles with British nuclear warheads. The treaty has been amended and renewed nine times. The most recent renewal extended it to 31 December 2024. U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration and U. K.

Rare: no copy cited in WorldCat. <br/><br/>"It is the purpose of this book to show that a desirable life at Work Study and Play can actually be secured for children and adults by the WIDER USE OF THE SCHOOL - Preface." Thirty million American children are locked out of their schools for over half of the time that they want to use them. Thirty million American adults who want ot use the schools are locked out practically all of the time. GARY BROKE THIS LOCKOUT IN 1907 BY EXTENDING THE USE OF ITS SCHOOLS." Printed by the Students of Horace Mann School. " " Early in the 20th century education reformers were calling for new approaches to meet the demands of that era. "The Great Lockout" was written by William Wirt in 1937 to describe the radical Platoon Work-Study-Play Schools that flourished in Gary Indiana from 1907-37. This book contains Wirt's original document which provides a rationale for changing the curriculum offers cost comparisons and describes strategies for implementation. The Platoon Schools were pre-kindergarten through adult-education community schools that adhered to an extended school-year and school-day calendar. The book also contains a supplement that connects the Gary designs with the local realities of the present and the national visions of continuous learning systems for the future."

1939H13549New York: Russell Sage Foundation 1939. Very Good. Probably 1939 but undated. 8vo wraps 14 leaves mainly lists of names of children and where they took courses. The exhibit took place at the New York Public Library. Among the names the only one that stood out to us was Harry Harrison possibly the science fiction author but we were intrigued by the mix of nationalities evidenced by the last names. RARE we could find no copies of this pamphlet in any library. The Works Progress Administration changed its name to the Work Projects Administration in 1939; thus our positing the date of this as likely 1939 possibly later. Russell Sage Foundation unknown
