Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Original printed wraps 17x24cm. (2), XVIII, 403, (3)pp English text with Preface in French by Maurice Roy, President of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR). This is an ex-Linnean Society copy with their small ink stamp to the title, and presentation label laid in. The label states that the book was presented to its Library by R.W.J. Keay, FLS, on 2/3/94. This was most likely the botanist Ronald William John Keay (1920-98), who had also been LS' Treasurer. The covers are otherwise good with wear and small loss to the spine, and the interiors very good. The author, HK Afshar, was Director of Tehran University's Institute of Geophysics. In an era of rapid progress, he prepared this to explain the implications, objectives and consequences of space sciences and technology, and their benefits in a wide range of development-related areas, including meteorology, telecommunications, traffic control and navigation, educational reforms, agriculture, and earth sciences. He also considers the philosophical concepts of the Space Age, future expectations from technology, and extra-terrestrial civilisations. He drew on his meetings with numerous space and other scientific agencies, and gives prominent attention to COSPAR, explaining its purpose, and the benefits of joining. The International Council of Scientific Unions had formed COSPAR on 3 October 1958, prompted by the launch of Sputnik 1 and the start of the Space Age on 4 October 1957. COSPAR's mandate was to act as a bridge between the Eastern and Western Blocs by promoting research and experience sharing among national scientific institutions and international scientific unions. Headquartered in Paris, Maurice Roy had been its President since 1962.…
