Dorland\'s: the first and last word in medicine for over 110 years The Dictionary of Anthropology is designed to become the standard reference guide to the discipline of social and cultural anthropology. Its core consists of substantial analytical articles focusing on key anthropological concepts, theories and methodologies. This volume contains research that originally appeared in The Railroad and Engineering Journal from 1891 to 1893. Written by a distinguished  aviation pioneer, it analyzes virtually every experimental flight of the era. These data on flight control and equilibrium were crucial to the early designs of the Wright Brothers. 90 illustrations. Perhaps the most balanced, well-written account of fundamental fluid dynamics ever published. Mises\' classic avoids the formidable mathematical structure of fluid dynamics, while conveying — by often unorthodox methods — a full understanding of the physical phenomena and mathematical concepts of aeronautical engineering. An outstanding textbook. — Scientific, Medical and Technical Books. Teaching text developed by U.S. Air Force Academy and designed as a first course emphasizes the universal variable formulation. Develops the basic two-body and n-body equations of motion orbit determination classical orbital elements, coordinate transformations differential correction more. Includes specialized applications to lunar and interplanetary flight, example problems, exercises. 1971 edition. Comprehensive, classic introduction to space-flight engineering for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Provides basic tools for quantitative analysis of the motions of satellites and other vehicles in space. Includes vector algebra, kinematics, transformation of coordinates, gyrodynamics, generalized theories of mechanics. Geared toward upper-level undergrads, graduate students, and practicing engineers, this comprehensive treatment of the dynamics of atmospheric flight focuses especially on the stability and control of airplanes. An extensive set of numerical examples covers STOL airplanes, subsonic jet transports, hypersonic flight, stability augmentation, and wind and density gradients.The equations of motion receive a very full treatment, including the effects of the curvature and rotation of the Earth and distortional motion. Complete chapters are given to human pilots and handling qualities and to flight in turbulence, with numerical examples for a jet transport. Small-perturbation equations for longitudinal and lateral motion appear in convenient matrix forms, both in time-domain and Laplace transforms, dimensional and nondimensional. Essential for all aviation industry professionals, this comprehensive dictionary explores more than 10,000 aviation-specific terms, phrases, and acronyms. Nearly 500 illustrations, tables, and lists supplement the detailed explanations of aviation terminology gathered from 14 CFR Part 1, the AIM Pilot/Controller glossary, and government publications. Indispensable for anyone involved with aviation, and especially useful for newcomers or those who speak English as a second language, this reference also includes valuable appendices that contain the periodic table, the phonetic alphabet, and Morse code. Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this outstanding text surveys aeroelastic problems, their historical background, basic physical concepts, and the principles of analysis. It has also proven highly useful to designers and engineers concerned with flutter, structural dynamics, flight loads, and related subjects.
