Best The Civilization of Ancient China Illustrated Volume6 Issue 1 2018 PP 7-17ISSN 2349-4395 Print ISSN 2349-4409 OnlineInternational Journal of Emerging Engineering Research and TechnologyV6 I1 2018 7Mechanical Engineering With new breakthroughs happening daily, astronomy is more exciting than ever. Understand the science\'s essential and exciting milestones with our fact-filled, picture-rich, accessible guide, updated to include recent developments such as the New Horizons spacecraft\'s 2015 encounter with Pluto and 2019 rendezvous with a Kuiper belt object. Originally published as The Universe, this revised, updated, and renamed reference book and timeline traces how, over many centuries, great minds have determined our planet\'s place in the great expanse of the Universe. From the megalithic cultures of Stonehenge and Carnac to today\'s search for alien planets and dark matter, Astronomy includes:100 milestone facts, labeled “ Ponderables ” which detail pivotal breakthroughs by scientists, ancient and modern, in understanding the Universe, stars, and planets.Stunning astronomical imagery and illustrations to help clarify key concepts.An overview of core concepts in Astronomy 101: The Basics and biographies of key scientists.A section on imponderable concepts that researchers still don\'t fully understand.A removable fold-out 12-page Timeline History of Astronomy and a 12-page Guide to the Night\'s Sky which shows the constellations visible in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres month by month. The Cambridge Illustrated History of Astronomy traces the history of astronomy as a science, describing in detail the various discoveries that have led to our current beliefs about space and the universe. It shows how speculations based on sky-gazing have formed part of the essential mythology of societies from the earliest times reveals astronomy to be an exacting and serious science evolving in tandem with geometry and mathematics and describes the contributions made by great thinkers such as Pythagoras, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton. From the moon’s formation, to its potential for future exploration, this richly illustrated volume presents 100 milestones in lunar history.   With dazzling images on every spread, and illuminating text by astrobiologist Dr. David Warmflash, Moon: An Illustrated History chronologically presents 100 milestones in the Moon’s development and exploration. Starting 4.5 billion years ago when the Moon formed, this stunning volume moves from the hypotheses of the Moon’s formation (4.5 billion years ago) to sixth-century BCE predictions of solar eclipses, from the twentieth-century Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union to private space companies and possible future lunar colonies. Find out about lunar calendar systems and cults in the Bible how lunar brightness was used to estimate stellar distances how advancing telescopes in the seventeenth century allowed us to eye the Moon more closely how author Jules Verne inspired the Father of Astronautics the originals of the Saturn V Moon Rocket the Apollo missions, and so much more. From ancient aqueducts to soaring skyscrapers, explore engineering milestones over the centuries. Combining engaging text with captivating images and helpful diagrams, renowned science writer Tom Jackson guides readers through the history of Engineering in this engaging installment of the groundbreaking Ponderables[[ series. The story of engineering is the story of humankind itself. From the crudely knapped hand axes of our human ancestor Homo Habilis to the mind-blowing ways in which modern engineering has improved our quality of daily life to the ways in which it promises to expand the scope of civilization and broaden the future of human existence, this authoritative reference book offers an essential guide to the history of engineering in 100 chronological steps. Engineering Victory brings a fresh approach to the question of why the North prevailed in the Civil War. Historian Thomas F. Army, Jr., identifies strength in engineering—not superior military strategy or industrial advantage—as the critical determining factor in the war’s outcome.Army finds that Union soldiers were able to apply scientific ingenuity and innovation to complex problems in a way that Confederate soldiers simply could not match. Skilled Free State engineers who were trained during the antebellum period benefited from basic educational reforms, the spread of informal educational practices, and a culture that encouraged learning and innovation. During the war, their rapid construction and repair of roads, railways, and bridges allowed Northern troops to pass quickly through the forbidding terrain of the South as retreating and maneuvering Confederates struggled to cut supply lines and stop the Yankees from pressing any advantage.By presenting detailed case studies from both theaters of the war, Army clearly demonstrates how the soldiers’ education, training, and talents spelled the difference between success and failure, victory and defeat. He also reveals massive logistical operations as critical in determining the war’s outcome. In this latest addition to his acclaimed U.S. warship design history series, Norman Friedman describes the ships and the craft of the U.S. amphibious force, from its inception in the 1920s through World War II to the present. He explains how and why the United States successfully created an entirely new kind of fleet to fight and win such World War II battles as D-Day and the island landings in the Pacific. To an extent not previously documented, his book lays out the differing views and contributions of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marines as well as the British, and how they affected the development of prewar and wartime amphibious forces. Current and future amphibious forces and tactics are explained, together with their implications for ships and craft, from 40,000-ton amphibious carriers down to tracked amphibious vehicles.As in earlier volumes in the series, this study uses previously unpublished sources to illustrate not only what was actually built but what was planned and never brought into service. For example, the book offers the first comprehensive and fully illustrated account of abortive attempts in the 1960s and beyond to build new fire support ships (LFS). With nearly two hundred photographs and specially commissioned line drawings and extensive appendixes, the work conveniently brings together details of the ships and their service histories found elsewhere only in scattered official references.
