There is a two-inch tear in the upper left corner of the front cover on the edge between the cover and spine (see pictures). The spine feels a bit loose, likely due to the tear just mentioned. The front and back covers some wear near the edges and corners. The back cover has a few small white spots (paint maybe?). The pages have a light waviness on the top edges; the pages are tanning a bit from age. There are a couple of names written on the front endpaper along with an address stamp. Otherwise, the pages are free from markings and highlighting. A small number of pages have creasing as if they got folded over in the book. See pictures for more details.

Walter Allan McDougall (born December 3, 1946) is an American historian, currently a professor of history and the Alloy-Ansin Professor of International Relations at the University of Pennsylvania. McDougall graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Amherst College and fought in Vietnam before completing his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago in 1974. He was a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution, and a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution. He also received an Earhart Foundation Fellowship. He was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley for 13 years before moving to Pennsylvania. He is a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and also an editor of Orbis, the quarterly journal of world affairs published by the institute. McDougall is the author of many books on history. In 1986 he received the Pulitzer Prize for History for his 1985 book .the Heavens and the Earth: A Political History of the Space Age, in which he examined the space programs and the politics of the US, Europe and the USSR, arguing that the Soviet Union made its way into space first because it was the world's first technocracy, which he defines as "the institutionalization of technological change for state purpose". He also examined the growth of a political economy of technology in the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Works This highly acclaimed study approaches the space race as a problem in comparative public policy. Drawing on published literature, archival sources in both the United States and Europe, interviews with many of the key participants, and important declassified material, such as the National Security Council's first policy paper on space, McDougall examines U.S., European, and Soviet space programs and their politics. Opening with a short account of Nikolai Kibalchich, a late nineteenth-century Russian rocketry theoretician, McDougall argues that the Soviet Union made its way into space first because it was the world's first "technocracy"-- which he defines as "the institutionalization of technological change for state purpose." He also explores the growth of a political economy of technology in both the Soviet Union and the United States.

Condition: Very Good. München und Berlin, Druck und Verlag R. Oldenbourg, 1925. 8vo. (8),+ 88 pp. Illustrated. Sewn as issued, uncut and unopened in well-preserved publisher?s wrappers. Stamp of Deutschen Raketen- und Raumfahrtmuseum, Stuttgart, on first blank leaf. In a later cloth box. Alicke, The Moon in Science & Fiction 181 & 182: ?An incunabulum of space flight? Ley, Rockets, Missiles, and Space Travel (1959), p. 506: ?One of the classical works of space travel.? First edition, second issue. First issued in blue illustrated wrappers, the book failed to sell in significant numbers, perhaps partly due to its highly theoretical content and the fact that rockets large enough to carry objects into space was still an abstraction in the mid 1920s. The rest of the edition was later reissued with the plain printed wrappers present on this copy. A total of 1500 copies were printed and both issues are now rare.Walter Hohmann (1880-1945) was born in Hardheim, Germany, and lived in South Africa for part of his youth, during which time he developed an interest for astronomy as he studied the southern constellations together with his father. He graduated from the Technical University of Munich in 1904 and received his Ph.D. from the RTWH Achen University in 1920. Hohmann spent his career working as an engineer and a city planner in Vienna, Hanover and Breslau (Wroclaw), before settling in Essen. In his spare time he revived his interest in astronomy and began to give serious thought to the problem of interplanetary flight. A key element, he discovered, was fuel-efficiency, which eventually led him to calculate and present, in the present work, what is now known as the ?Hohmann transfer orbit?, an orbital manouver using only two engine impulses to move a spacecraft between two coplanar orbits. The publication led to his involvement in the Verein für Raumschiffahrt, a German society of amateurs propagating rocket development and space flight. However, the increased focus on the use of rockets as weapons during the Nazi era led to Hohmann?s disinvolvement from rocketry, as he only wanted to contribute to its peaceful uses.Perhaps a good measure of the importance of ?Die Erreichbarkeit der Himmelskörper? is that an English translation entitled ?The attainability of heavenly bodies? was published by NASA in 1960. For many years the ?Hohmann transfer orbit? was believed to be the most fuel-efficient way to - for example - move a satellite from a lower to a higher orbit, until a more complicated but even more efficient approach, called the ?bielliptic transfer?, was developed. Hohmann also took an interest in many other aspects of spaceflight and proposed, among other things, a separate landing module for a spacecraft travelling to the moon. The latter idea was, as we know today, followed through by the American Apollo project in the 1960s. Softcover / Paperback.
