Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 191 Pages Indexed. Light crease to front bottom corner. No other defects noted. The B-52 and Jet Propulsion: A Case Study in Organizational Innovation is a coherent and nonpolemical discussion of the revolution in military affairs, a hot topic in the national security arena. Mark Mandeles examines an interesting topic, how can the military better understand, manage, and evaluate technological development programs. We see Murphy's Law (anything that can go wrong, will go wrong) in operation. No matter how carefully the military designs, plans, and programs the process of technological development, inevitably, equipment, organizations, and people will challenge the desired expectations. Mandeles argues convincingly that recognizing the inevitability of error may be the single most important factor in the design of effective organizations and procedures to foster and enhance innovative technology and concepts. Contents: Introduction, Innovation and Military Revolutions, Logic and Procedure of Analysis, Prelude Jet Propulsion and The Air Force, The Introduction of Jet Propulsion Into /The B-52, and Conclusion. Illustrated with photographs of Whittle Engine, B-36A Peacemaker, Lockheed XP80A Shooting Star, J47 Engine in XB-47, Fat Man, Douglas A3D Skywarrior, Boeing B-50 Superfortress, and Northrop's YB-49.

Softbound. Condition: Very Good. Small broadsheet newspaper, 8 pp. with a center crease, one b/w photo and four political cartoons A radical left-wing newspaper that critiqued the Jewish community without demonizing it. Anti-Fatah and probably influenced by Shomer Ha-Tzair. With an article by Albert Memmi and a poem by Julia Vinograd. Cover is illustrated with a large drawing by Madeline Rosenstein. "This paper is being edited by a group of radicals who are concerned with the tendencies of our radical friends' positions on the Middle East situation. Within the United States our group consists of members of SDS, The Resistance, and the Peace and Freedom Party, etc. This group is completely unorganized ; we came to know each other through the common ties of the radical nature of our political ideology and our deep concern for social justice. We recognized that it was no quirk of fate that our Jewish backgrounds gave support to these two related viewpoints. It is in this sense that we feel a deep commitment to Jewish thought. Now to the raison d' etre of the paper. As mentioned earlier, one of the reasons that so many of us came together to start this paper, was a growing concern with our radical communities' increasingly anti-Israel posture. As radicals we find this inappropriate, at best. We believe that the easy acceptance of empty metaphors and lack of desire to make meaningful distinctions between vague analogies concerning the Middle East does irreparable damage to the morality of the movement."--taken from "Our Raison d' Etre", page [1], Vol. 1, no. 1 (January [1969]).
