Sutton Elbert Griggs novelist and minister was born at Chatfield Texas to Rev. Allen R. Griggs in 1872. His father was a former Georgia slave who had become a prominent Baptist minister in Texas. After graduating from Dallas public schools and Bishop College in Marshall 1890 Griggs attended Richmond Theological Seminary at Richmond Virginia between 1890 and 1893. On May 10 1897 he married Emma J. Williams of Portsmouth Virginia. Upon graduating from seminary Griggs took a pastorate in Berkley Virginia. It was here that he wrote his first novel Imperium In Imperio 1899 which may be the first black nationalist novel. Over the course of his career Griggs wrote more than a dozen books including five novels five social tracts his autobiography a short biography of John L. Webb and The Kingdom Builder's Manual 1924 a booklet of biblical quotations. At his expense he published and distributed these works which were generally written for "the aspiring classes of the black south." Although virtually unknown among whites his writings were generally read by African Americans. Griggs wrote in a very direct style that was somewhat stiff and formal. He was one of the few Southern members of the Niagra movement a civil rights group which had an outspoken platform based on the issue of racial and social justice and which eventually evolved into the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Although he has often been characterized as a black nationalist based on the plot of his first novel this may be an overgeneralization since his subsequent novels do not contain this theme. In Imperium in Imperio Griggs chronicles the social and political injustice to which blacks are subjected. He describes the meeting of the Imperium in Imperio a secret political organization in Waco Texas composed of blacks who are frustrated with the social and political status of blacks in America. In the novel the leader of the organization argues for the violent takeover of the state of Texas. Neither this work nor any subsequent novel by Griggs received widespread distribution. Although succeeding Griggs novels Overshadowed 1901 Unfettered 1902 The Hindered Hand 1905 and Pointing the Way 1908 are deemed "less militant" by some scholars they received poor circulation. One reason may be that many of Griggs's philosophies 009400camera inv. The Orion Publishing hardcover

1949222731949. Rocket Propulsion Elements: An Introduction to the Engineering of Rockets by George P. Sutton published in 1949 presented one of the earliest comprehensive American engineering texts explaining the scientific principles governing rocket propulsion systems. Appearing in the years immediately following World War II the book addressed the rapid expansion of rocket and missile research in the United States as military planners and aerospace engineers sought to develop advanced propulsion technologies during the opening phase of the Cold War. Sutton an engineer associated with North American Aviation and an instructor in aerospace engineering courses wrote the work to introduce the mechanical and thermodynamic principles underlying rocket engines and to provide technical guidance for students and engineers entering the emerging field of rocket propulsion.<br /> <br /> Sutton George P. Rocket Propulsion Elements: An Introduction to the Engineering of Rockets. New York: John Wiley & Sons 1949. First edition. In the preface Sutton explains that "the object of this book is to present the basic elements and the technical problems of rocket propulsion and to describe the physical mechanisms and designs of rocket propulsion systems." Organized across ten chapters the volume explains propulsion theory through diagrams and technical illustrations depicting engine configurations and propulsion systems including figures labeled "Schematic diagram of ram jet" and "Turbojet engine employing a centrifugal air compressor." The text emphasizes the growing importance of liquid propellant systems stating that "more emphasis has been placed more on liquid propellant rocket units than on solid propellant units since their fields of application are of greater general interest." Sutton also notes that national security restrictions shaped the scope of the book writing that "this requirement limited in part the amount of experimental and calculated data. since a large part of the technical information. cannot be published for security reasons."<br /> <br /> Publication of Rocket Propulsion Elements coincided with the early institutional development of American missile research programs and university training in aerospace engineering. During the late 1940s and early 1950s the United States military and aviation industry expanded research into long range missiles high performance aircraft engines and experimental rocket propulsion systems making instructional texts such as Sutton's an important means of transmitting engineering knowledge. 294 pages illustrated with numerous technical diagrams throughout. Bound in original dark green cloth with red and gilt spine label. Name stamp of "Ray Nakabayashi" on upper right corner of the title page. Minor wear to board corners with light fading to spine lettering; interior pages clean with tight binding. Overall very good condition.
