While there is plenty of grand vision and high technology here, his book also shows how space technology makes very personal contributions to the quality of life of people around the world. This book shows how individuals can be a part of advancing the space frontier no matter where they are, as Paul invites you to join the great adventure.' -- Scott Pace, Executive Vice President, National Space Society, Chairman, Policy Committee. 'This book is long overdue. Hardersen has marshaled an impressive array of brass-tacks facts documenting the enormous benefits that the space program has brought to the American public. Those skeptical that the expenditures this nation has made in pushing the space frontier are being rewarded by ample economic returns will find in this book necessary medicine. Those already advocating space exploration will find here some of the tools they need to pry open the eyes of even the most closed minded. Read this book and then mail it to your congressman. Hardersen's is a message they need to hear on Capital Hill' -- Dr. Robert Zubrin, Chairman, Executive Committee, National Space Society." From the Publisher: "If you are convinced that Moon rocks, Velcro and Tang represent the sole tangible benefits of spaceflight, you need to read THE CASE FOR SPACE. No mere cheerleader for NASA, Hardersen inspires us with actual examples of space technology at work in our everyday lives. He discusses how space research has already served society and argues that space exploration will advance new technologies, foster international cooperation and spur economic growth. A building catches fire, a siren sounds, and firefighters rush in with oxygen tanks on their backs. They are able to move quickly because their oxygen tanks are made from a lightweight material first used in rocket motor casings! The Martin Marietta Corporation and Structural Composite Industries, Inc. collaborated on this technology, as well as a face mask allowing better visibility and an alarm alerting firefighters when their air supply is running low. A company called Q-Med, Inc. joined with NASA to create a 14-ounce, portable heart monitor that instantly determines whether one's pulse is irregular. The electrodes attached to the patient's chest are the same NASA uses to monitor the pulse of space shuttle astronauts. Hardersen describes the biological lessons of spaceflight, such as the long-term effects of gravity on the human body. A digital imaging firm, started by former NASA employees Kenneth Castleman and Don Winkler, has developed methods to enhance the performance of CAT scanners and radiography systems. The remote sensing capabilities of satellites have revealed the sources of wetland pollution in Florida, the infestation patterns of gypsy moth larvae, and plutonium runoff from nuclear test sites. Hardersen also describes the healthy commercialization of space by private payload-launching firms. While Hardersen shows how the solutions to ozone depletion and energy shortages may depend on today's space policy, he also reports a depressing lack of commitment to space from the United States government and its people. He disproves the delusion that space research is expensive, showing that NASA operates on less than one percent of the total U.S. budget. He blames the White House for not issuing specific goals: 'NASA's lack of direction can be firmly blamed on past and present occupants of the White House and the Congress.' By reading THE.

Softcover. Condition: As New. First Edition. Another fine contribution to the European Studies in Culture and Policy series, and unusually scarce in the trade. Provides details of the author's ethnographic fieldwork in Northern Irish locales throughout Europe among immigrants. Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear to the glossy card-stock wraps. From the publisher's blurb, "This interdisciplinary book details the status of migrant languages in a particular European region. The author draws on fieldwork conducted in Northern Ireland to contextualise the challenges faced at both state and community level in a linguistically diverse public space. Such debates on multiculturalism are particularly relevant in a region which has witnessed increased levels of immigration in the period of 'normalisation' that has followed the end of the Northern Ireland conflict." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xiv [1], 2-305 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

Michael Krepon co-founded the Stimson Center in 1989. He served as Stimson's President and CEO until 2000, and continues to direct Stimson's programming on nuclear and space issues. He was the University of Virginia's Diplomat Scholar, where he taught from 2001-2010. He is the author and editor of twenty-one books. He worked at the Carnegie Endowment, the State Department's Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and on Capitol Hill. He received the Carnegie Endowment's Thérèse Delpech Memorial Award in 2015 for lifetime achievement in non-governmental work to reduce nuclear dangers. Christopher Oren Clary's research focuses on the sources of cooperation in interstate rivalries. he also studies the causes and consequences of nuclear proliferation, U.S. defense policy, and the politics of South Asia. Previously, He served as country director for South Asian affairs in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (2006-2009), a research associate at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. (2003-2005), and a research assistant at the Henry L. Stimson Center in Washington, D.C. (2001-2003). I received a Ph.D. in Political Science from MIT. While space has long been utilized to assist military operations, it has not been weaponized. A new report by the Stimson Center--Space Assurance or Space Dominance? The Case Against Weaponizing Space--argues that the surest way for the United States to lose the military advantages now enjoyed in space is to turn the heavens into a shooting gallery. The Stimson report concludes that US military and economic security is best served by avoiding the flight-testing and deployment of space weaponry. The pursuit of space dominance could impair global commerce, produce long-lasting, environmental debris in space, and harm alliance ties as well as relations between the United States and Russia and China, the two countries whose help is most needed to stop and reverse proliferation. The quest to dominate space could prompt low-cost, low-tech countermeasures in the form of space mines and other anti-satellite devices. Potential adversaries in space would be faced with the dilemma of shooting first or risk being shot. The quest to secure dominion over space would therefore elevate into the heavens the hair-trigger postures that plagued US and Soviet officials during the Cold War.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- In this volume of Primordial Space it is explained how unpredictable quanta of the strong and electroweak force can bring forth both a macro-space-time as we perceive it and a pattern of material phenomena with which we have been familiarized by the standard model of particle physics. However, there is a price we have to pay for this. The Heisenberg uncertainty relation discloses itself in the fancy dress of a set of irregular locations: the deadlock singularity for particle fields at rest and the topological defect structure of the boson field where the zero norm signifies a turnover of the time-like base unit into a nilpotent isotropic direction field. Time does not go without saying. But where the time-arrow is created within the strong force, there emerge anti-reflexive neighbourhoods in the multivector fields of space-time. Hyperbolic neighbourhood systems of primordial phenomena carry those waves that decompose time and energy. Primordial space helps you to look at events with a fresh mind without entirely destroying traditional physics. -- Contents: Preface; Introduction; Part I.
