    Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition foam green boards, silver gray spine, foam green spine lettering and front cover illustration contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Mike Lupica; Acknowledgments; Author Dedication; Prologue and Epilogue. "Here is what makes Mike Lupica so good - he is a gifted writer, with the skills of a first-rate reporter and the honest sentiment of a lifelong fan. Here is what makes this book so good - baseball's summer of '98 provided authentic moments of poetry and passion, the kind of stuff that shines through all the crassness and nonsense, to remind us all why we can still care. I'd say the storyteller is a damn good match for the story." - Bob Costas, NBC Sports. "From one of sports writing's best-known commentators comes a funny, moving, uncoventional exploration of a glorious baseball season. In the summer of '61, Mike Lupica's father left notes for him in the night: Maris hit another, Mantle went two-for-four, the Yanks won. That was Lupica's best summer ever. He thought he'd never have another one like it - until the summer of '98, when he found himself leaving notes for his own sons: Sosa hit another, McGwire hit one back. And the Yanks won. In 1998, the conversation of the country was about baseball again, as the taste of the 1994 strike was finally washed away in a sweet flood of glory. With humor and feeling, Lupica recaptures that season, but not in any ordinary way. In Fargo, North Dakota, Roger Maris's boyhood best friend watches McGwire hi 62. In New York, a baseball scout travels back thirteen years, to a skinny kid named Sosa getting off a bus from Santo Domingo with holes in his jersey and a bat in his hand. In Grand Prairie, Texas, Kerry Wood's high school assistant coach refuses to believe the reports of Wood's strikout record, until the phone starts ringing. The Little League champions from Toms River stand in awe on the field at Yankee Stadium; Joe DiMaggio talks as he watches the Yankees have the kind of year he always had; Cal Ripken, Jr. speaks from the past about how he always intended his streak to end; Yogi Berra watches highlights of David Wells' perfect game and remembers the perfect game he caught from Don Larsen, every detail clear as a bell; Matt Williams of the Arizona Diamondbacks, also a divorced father, watches with a lump in his throat as McGwire lifts his son at home plate. Roger Clemens, Shane Spencer, Orlando Hernandez, Tony Gwynn, Ken Griffey, Jr. all the boys of summer come alive in special ways, as we're reminded, for one season at least, that, yes, they do play baseball like they used to. But even more than all of this, Summer of '98 is about fathers and sons - about the golden thread that stretches through baseball and, for Lupica, from his father to himself to his sons "I cannot tell you why baseball is passed on the way it is, more than the other sports. I just know it came first with me. It was something I shared with my father, and still share today. It was a special language that we had, at the ballpark, in the front seat of a '56 Dodge, watching on television. Talking on the telephone the night McGwire hit No. 62, all that time after we had watched Maris hit No. 61. A love that fits inside of a bigger love, like a ball in a mitt." Summer of '98." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Harper, Walter (jacket design); Green Stephen (jacket front photograp); Sherwood, Virginia (author photograph); Dewey, Amanda (book design) (ilustrador).…

    Trade paperback. Condición: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 65, [1] plus covers. Color Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. This book provides an overview of the historic space telescope with sections that briefly describe its history, design, operations, and cultural impact. This book is a joint projects of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the Space Telescope Institute. The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is a major NASA space research laboratory established on May 1, 1959 as NASA's first space flight center. GSFC is the largest combined organization of scientists and engineers in the United States dedicated to increasing knowledge of the Earth, the Solar System, and the Universe via observations from space. GSFC is a major U.S. laboratory for developing and operating unmanned scientific spacecraft. GSFC manages operations for many NASA and international missions including the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the Explorer program, the Discovery Program, the Earth Observing System (EOS), INTEGRAL, MAVEN, OSIRIS-REx, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), and Swift. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. The HST is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble. With a 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) mirror, Hubble's four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectra. Hubble's orbit outside the distortion of Earth's atmosphere allows it to take extremely high-resolution images, with substantially lower background light than ground-based telescopes. Many Hubble observations have led to breakthroughs in astrophysics, such as accurately determining the rate of expansion of the universe. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) selects Hubble's targets and processes the resulting data, while the Goddard Space Flight Center controls the spacecraft. Hubble is the only telescope designed to be serviced in space by astronauts. Ann Feild (Graphics Designer), Pat Izzo (Photograp (ilustrador).…

    Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. xii, [4], 380, [4] pages. Map. Selected Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Terry Pindell is an American travel writer known primarily for three North American 'rail odysseys', through the USA, Canada and Mexico, each of which became the subject of a travel book. He has also written a book on migration within the United States. The Toledo Blade said of his first book, Making Tracks: "Not since John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley has anyone put together a better story about America on the road." He is the grandson of a railroad engineer. Derived from a Kirkus review: Pindell rides ``the steel of Canada'' for a year. To Canada, railways have had an importance far beyond transportation needs. Pindell describes the role that trains and tracks have played in Canadian history. But he is also set on a little pulse-taking, so he talks to his fellow passengers who tell him about their lives, their politics, and their views on the US. Pindell begins with a trip from Toronto to Winnipeg on the Canadian. He ends a year later with the Canadian's last run from Vancouver to Toronto--a victim of cutbacks. In between, Pindell travels northwest as far as Prince Rupert; to Gaspe, where the people are predominantly French; to Churchill, where polar bears gather to hunt seals--and to wherever else all the other lines that still carry passengers over the Rockies and through the Maritimes take him. A sturdy piece of travel writing: readable, informative, and a railway buff's delight. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

    Wraps. Condición: Very good. 40, [4] pages, including covers. Includes illustrations. Most illustrations in color. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This is the inaugural issue of Experimental Physical Science VISTAS and the content outlines the laboratory's national user facilities. . From a Los Alamos Experimental Physical Sciences website; "Research and experimental facilities spanning a broad range of complex scientific areas. Frequently our most basic research experiments stimulate solutions for some of the most intractable national security problems, such as: Nuclear weapons stewardship Homeland security Intelligence and information analysis Nuclear and alternative energy Our scientific success often stems from the capabilities of our world-class research and processing facilities, including our Los Alamos National Laboratory-based national user facilities: Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) The capabilities of our flagship facility, LANSCE, afford us a convenient and powerful opportunity to test our ideas. We often combine forces with colleagues in theoretical physics, high performance computing, and computational science to formulate experiments that can validate theories and computational models. National scientific user facilities provide researchers with the most advanced tools of modern science including accelerators, colliders, supercomputers, light sources and neutron sources, as well as facilities for studying the nanoworld, the environment, and the atmosphere. In Fiscal Year 2015 over 32,000 researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories, spanning all fifty states and the District of Columbia, utilized these unique facilities to perform new scientific research. A user facility is a federally sponsored research facility available for external use to advance scientific or technical knowledge under the following conditions: The facility is open to all interested potential users without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation. Allocation of facility resources is determined by merit review of the proposed work. User fees are not charged for non-proprietary work if the user intends to publish the research results in the open literature. Full cost recovery is required for proprietary work. The facility provides resources sufficient for users to conduct work safely and efficiently. The facility supports a formal user organization to represent the users and facilitate sharing of information, forming collaborations, and organizing research efforts among users. The facility capability does not compete with an available private sector capability. Inaugural Issue! Presumed first edition/first printing thus.

Barnum, he lives in Manassas, Virginia. Clarence Rivers King (January 6, 1842 December 24, 1901) was an American geologist, mountaineer, and author. He was the first director of the United States Geological Survey from 1879 to 1881. Nominated by President Rutherford B. Hayes, King was noted for his exploration of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. King and his team explored areas from eastern California to Wyoming. During that time he published his famous Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada (1872). While King was finishing the Fortieth Parallel Survey, the western U.S. was abuzz with news of a secret diamond deposit. King and some of his crew tracked down the location in northwest Colorado and exposed it as a fraud, now known as the diamond hoax of 1872. In 1879, the US Congress consolidated the number of geological surveys exploring the American West and created the United States Geological Survey. King was chosen as its first director. He took the position with the understanding that it would be temporary and he resigned after twenty months, having overseen the organization of the new agency with an emphasis on mining geology. In this, one of the year's most compelling biographies, Robert Wilson paints a brilliant portrait of Clarence King -- a scientist-explorer whose mountain-scaling, desert-crossing, river-fording, blizzard-surviving adventures helped create the new West of the nineteenth century. A sort of Howard Hughes of the 1800s, Clarence King in his youth was an icon of the new America: a man of both action and intellect, who combined science and adventure with romanticism and charm. The Explorer King vividly depicts King's amazing feats and also uncovers the reasons for the shocking decline he suffered after his days on the American frontier. The Yale-educated King went west in 1863 at age twenty-one as a geologist-explorer. During the next decade he scaled the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada, published a popular book now considered a classic of adventure literature, initiated a groundbreaking land survey of the American West, and ultimately uncovered one of the greatest frauds of the century -- the Great Diamond Hoax, a discovery that made him an international celebrity at a time when they were few and far between. Through King's own rollicking tales, some true, some embroidered, of scaling previously unclimbed mountain peaks, of surviving a monster blizzard near Yosemite, of escaping ambush and capture by Indians, of being chased on horseback for two days by angry bandits, Robert Wilson offers a powerful combination of adventure, history, and nature writing. He also provides the bigger picture of the West at this time, showing the ways in which the terrain of the western United States was measured and charted and mastered, and how science, politics, and business began to intersect and influence one another during this era. Ultimately, King himself would come to symbolize the collision of science and business, possibly the source of his downfall. Fascinating and extensive, The Explorer King movingly portrays the America of the nineteenth century and the man who -- for better or worse -- typified the soul of the era.
