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. Includes Frank E. Goddard Jr. T.C. Adamson Jr. S.P. Shen.<br /> <br /> Vol. 26 No. 2 February 1959: Contains work on spiked bodies at hypersonic speeds reentry missile stability and panel flutter. Contributors include Seymour M. Bogdonoff E.V. Laitone and Frederick L. Ryder.<br /> <br /> Vol. 26 No. 4 April 1959: Publishes the Twenty-Second Wright Brothers Lecture by Maurice Roy of ONERA France. Other articles include thermal stresses hypersonic shock tunnels and boundary-layer transition.<br /> <br /> Vol. 26 No. 5 May 1959: Focuses on heat transfer at hypersonic speeds lift-drag ratios at supersonic speeds low-thrust spacecraft flight mechanics and chemically reacting boundary layers.

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

Stouffer Robert R. Sears Gordon W. Allport Harry Murray" A unique Association Copy Eleanor Maccoby was a noted psychologist best known for her contributions to developmental psychology and the psychology of sex differences. The signees were a Who's Who of eminent sociologists psychologists and anthropologists. Talcott Parsons career was entwined with the development of sociology as an academic discipline at Harvard and in this book he was refining his "general theory of action". In 1931 Parsons was one of the inaugural faculty members in the Dept. of Sociology at Harvard. Gordon W. Allport is known as one of the founding figures of personality psychology and along with Harry Murray were faculty in the Psychology Dept. at Harvard. Robert R. Sears was head of the Psychology Dept. at Stanford University Samuel Stouffer a Professor of Sociology at Harvard and Clyde Kluckhorn a Professor of Anthropology at Harvard.

18702634Sans lieu, sans éditeur (manuscrit - pièce unique), sans date (circa 1870). In-8 - 18 x 25 cm. Reliure de l'époque en demi-chagrin rouge, dos à 4 nerfs, orné de caissons et petits fers dorés, titre doré "Algues marine" sur le dos. 85 planches. Alguier extrêmement soigné, composé à la fin du 19e siècle (vers 1870), recueillant 83 spécimens d'algues pressés sur 85 feuillets de papier fort. Planches montées sur onglet. Spécimens non-identifiés (non légendés), en excellent état de conservation. À la fin du XIXe siècle, la collecte et la conservation d'échantillons d'algues sont devenues un passe-temps populaire pour les Européens aisés. Ces collectionneurs passaient de nombreuses heures à sécher, presser et monter avec soin les spécimens qu'ils trouvaient au cours de leurs voyages. Leurs recueils illustrent ce phénomène de mode, mais présentent également, encore aujourd’hui, un intérêt scientifique, par exemple en permettant de constater si certaines variétés ont disparu.
1901AMO-37011 volume in-18 (20,5 x 14 cm) de LXX-342 pages. Reliure de l'époque pleine toile rouge, titre imprimé au dos et sur le premier plat en grands caractères tirés en bleu, couvertures imprimées conservées (plats et dos), non rogné, à toutes marges. Reliure très bien conservée, dos passé, quelques ombres et poussières à la toile (bords), intérieur très frais, bords de grandes marges avec rousseurs ou bruni, sans gravité. Le feuillet d'errata a été relié en tête du volume bien qu'il poursuive la pagination (il est aussi imprimé sur Hollande). Edition originale. Un des 10 exemplaires tirés à part sur papier de Hollande (celui-ci non numéroté). Exemplaire enrichi d'une lettre autographe de l'auteur à un confrère écrivain (9 octobre 1901) en rapport avec la publication de l'ouvrage. L'auteur écrit : "cher monsieur, je viens de recevoir votre livre et je veux d'autant moins tarder à vous remercier, que très-souffrant de vertiges depuis quelques temps, j'éprouve à lire et à écrire une fatigue extrême qui m'oblige à en ajourner un peu la lecture. De mon côté j'ai eu le plaisir de vous adresser un exemplaire de "l'humanité et la patrie" que vous devez avoir reçu ou allez recevoir. Je ne sais si vous partagerez les vues exprimées dans cet ouvrage ; mais vous reconnaîtrez certainement la sincérité de l'auteur qui n'est à la recherche que du vrai et qui, au cas où il se tromperait, ce que j'espère n'être pas le cas, le ferait avec une absolue bonne fois. M. Finot a du recevoir aussi un exemplaire du livre. Si, par vos relations avec lui, vous pouviez obtenir de lui un article de bibliographie, approbatif ou critique, peu importe, je vous en saurais un gré infini. En attendant veuillez recevoir l'expression de ma gratitude pour l'envoi de votre dernière production et l'expression de mes meilleurs sentiments. A. Naquet." L'Humanité et la Patrie est un curieux ouvrage. Divisé en deux grandes partie, la première consacrée à l'Homme, à la morale et plus particulièrement aux considérations à propos du libre arbitre. La deuxième partie consacrée à la Patrie aboutit à la volonté de l'auteur de voir s'établir des Etats-Unis d'Europe, une République Universelle dictée par la raison et la morale. En cela L'Humanité et la Patrie est une utopie à ranger parmi les projets de société humaine internationaliste. L'union de tous les peuples de l'Europe pour le bien commun, tel est son souhait. C'est le souffle révolutionnaire qui a donné à la France la prééminence sur tous les peuples, écrit-il. Il souhaite ardemment la séparation des pouvoirs entre l'église et l'état, et ne croit pas aux conceptions extrémistes des nationalistes. Cet épais volume est d'une densité et d'une complexité toute scientifique cependant animée par un esprit lucide et volontaire. Très bon exemplaire du rarissime tirage sur papier de Hollande avec lettre autographe.
