Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. From Prairie Skies to Outer Space traces the author's story from the prairie skies of the Cypress Hills in Saskatchewan to becoming a space scientist, studying Earth's upper atmosphere, 80 to 300KM above its surface through observation of it aurora (Northen Lights) and its afterglow. The Earth s upper atmosphere, is the home of two spectacular phenomena, the aurora and the airglow. The aurora borealis (northern polar regions) and australis (southern polar region) is incredible beautiful to the human eye, and provides an enormous amount of information about the influence of the sun on Earth s magnetic environment, namely the magnetosphere. Through the sun s eleven-year cycle of activity, its little-understood longer-term variations, and its short-live flares it causes geomagnetic storms that can interfere with radio wave propagation, and disrupt power lines. For this reason its study is of great importance to Canada, as to other polar countries. The second optical phenomenon is airglow , produced by solar ultraviolet light which dissociates molecular oxygen to atomic form, driving an enormous amount of chemical activity, including visible light similar to that of the aurora, but at a level below the visual threshold of the human eye. But because it occurs continuously, all over the Earth, its study is extremely valuable in characterizing the state of the upper atmosphere. It can be studied from ground-based observatories, from rocket flights and especially through satellite measurements. These measurements include not only measurements of the airglow intensity, which provides information on the concentrations of atmospheric species, but other entities such as the upper atmospheric temperature and winds.

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. The Walking Dead es mucho más que un cómic referencial, mucho más que una serie con decenas de millones de espectadores: es el ingreso definitivo de los zombis en nuestras vidas y nuestros hogares, en el espacio de las ficciones de consumo mayoritario. Pero cómo puede ser mayoritaria la imagen de un rebaño de muertos vivientes devorando vivo un caballo? Cómo es posible que una serie podrida de contenidos violentos, repulsivos e inquietantes triunfe en un espacio de producción y difusión mainstream, obteniendo una audiencia inmensa? . Éste es un libro, por tanto, sobre una serie de televisión, sobre un cómic y, más ampliamente, sobre estas preguntas, sobre este extraño fenómeno que ha conseguido que los muertos vivientes, esta vez definitivamente, estén entre nosotros. Un libro sobre The Walking Dead, por supuesto, pero también sobre las paradojas psicológicas del terror, sobre nuestro miedo a la muerte, sobre el horror que nos producen los zombis y el horror que nos producen los hombres, sobre los monstruos de la modernidad y la postmodernidad, sobre casi cien años de cómics de terror, sobre el discretísimo primer zombi de la literatura? . El apocalipsis que tan oscuramente deseamos está ya muy cerca. Y para enfrentarse a los zombis hace falta algo más que armas y comida. Por ello, los editores de Errata naturae hemos recorrido el planeta en busca de unos pocos futuros supervivientes, que se han convertido en los autores de este libro: escritores, periodistas, historiadores, pensadores y críticos. Gracias a sus conocimientos y reflexiones estaremos más preparados para enfrentarnos a la catástrofe que se avecina, y que desde hace un tiempo anuncian cada día los periódicos y los telediarios. LIBRO.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (SD, NAP). This was Daniel Bell's book. He contributed an essay titled Ethnicity and Social Change. He did not write his name in the book. He did, curiously, put a parenthetical line beside two paragraphs in his own essay. He did this again only a few times, once on page 306 and 312, and twice on page 313. On the rear flap he wrote '1 +2-- Modernity', and referenced page 306 with the words 'Orlando structured' and page 313 with a word I can't make out. Orlando Patterson was the author of the essay, titled Context and Choice in Ethnic Allegiance, in which these pages appeared. Glazer and Bell went to college together and taught together. Here's a quote from Glazer's Wikipedia profile: 'When Glazer attended the City College of New York in the 1940s, it was known as a hotbed of radicalism. Glazer fell in with a number of other young Marxists who were hostile to Soviet-style communism. Glazer, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Irving Kristol would meet in an alcove of the City College cafeteria, and they spent their days trying to understand how the socialist ideal of political and economic justice had ended in Joseph Stalin's murderous tyranny. As Glazer would later recall, 'one of the characteristics of our group was a notion of its universal competence. Culture, politics, whatever was happening we shot our mouths off on. It was a model created by the arrogance that if you're a Marxist you can understand anything and it was a model that even as we gave up our Marxism we nevertheless stuck with.' Dr. Bell took very good care of the book. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The spine looks very good, just a little crinkling at the top edge. The page edges are very clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. I'm not finding any soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And Dr. Bell's handful of penned margin lines represent the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. I've always had the dust jacket in a fitted protective cover. It looks very clean. I'm not noticing any tears. There's a very small loss at the top rear corner. There is a thin crease coming down from the rear top edge. The flaps are in very good shape, very clean, a couple of tiny crinkles. I've already noted the penned notes on the rear flap which also include '1975.' From the dust jacket: 'This volume launches a far-reaching exploration into the meaning, manifestations, and significance of ethnicity in modern society and politics. The authors seek neither to celebrate nor to deplore ethnicity, but rather to examine it as a basis of social organization which in modern societies has achieved a significance comparable to that of social class. Ethnicity indicates that minority groups around the world are no longer doing what society for hundreds of years has expected them to do-- assimilate, disappear, or endure as exotic, troublesome survivors. Instead, their numbers have expanded by immigration, their experiences and struggles mirrored to one another by the international mass media, minorities have become vital, highly conscious forces within almost all contemporary societies. Ethnicity has played a pivotal role in recent social change; it has evolved into a political idea, a mobilizing principle, and an effective means of advancing group interests.'.
