This textbook presents the process of aircraft conceptual design as seen in industry aircraft design groups. It contains design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations and equations, and has extensive appendices with key data for design.

This 2000 Edition of Sir Patrick Mooreas classic book has been completely revised in the light of changes in technology. Not only do these changes include commercially available astronomical telescopes and software, but also...

Long before astronomy was a science, humans used the stars to mark time, navigate, organize planting and dramatize myths. In fact, some lunar calendars date back over 30,000 years. From Stonehenge to Angkor Wat, many of the...

Radiation from astronomical objects generally shows some degree of polarization. Although this polarized radiation is usually only a small fraction of the total radiation, it often carries a wealth of information on the physical...

'Schaum's Outline of Astronomy' will provide a basic introduction to the topics covered in astronomy courses at the 100-level. The focus rests on problem solving, rather than fact gathering. It is intended primarily for college...

Perfect for anyone who's ever felt the allure of the skies, this spectacular collection of photographs of space and sky is drawn from Bonnell and Nemiroff's enormously popular Web site, Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD).

This is a text for an introductory astronomy course. One of the main goals is to provide a broad enough and deep enough background in astronomy so the student will be able to follow current developments in astronomy years...
