Book Description
In this definitive study, J. D. Hunley traces the program’s development from Goddard’s early rockets (and the German V-2 missile) through the Titan IVA and the Space Shuttle, with a focus on space-launch vehicles. Since these rockets often evolved from early missiles, he pays considerable attention to missile technology, not as an end in itself, but as a contributor to launch-vehicle technology. Focusing especially on the engineering culture of the program, Hunley communicates this very human side of technological development by means of anecdotes, character sketches, and case studies of problems faced by rocket engineers. He shows how such a highly adaptive approach enabled the evolution of a hugely complicated technology that was impressive—but decidedly not rocket science. Unique in its single-volume coverage of the evolution of launch-vehicle technology from 1926 to 1991, this meticulously researched work will inform scholars and engineers interested in the history of technology and innovation, as well as those specializing in the history of space flight.

Book Description
For the powerful final chapter of The Henry Bell Project, his award-nominated saga of American presidential politics, author and lawyer Michael Davidow takes on the rise of the American right wing: from the death of John Kennedy to the election of Ronald Reagan. After investigating CIA abuses for Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, political operative Henry Bell struggles with his allegiances as the 1980 election approaches. Reluctantly agreeing to work for George Bush, he soon finds that spies are wreaking havoc in every campaign. A confidential interview about Eisenhower and Nixon that he has given to historians, meant to remain secret for decades, gets stolen instead. And an old friend of Bell's has leaked classified information about John Kennedy's assassination to members of the U.S. Congress, leaving those betrayed in search of better answers: when, where, and why. It's Christmas Eve in Washington, and winter has begun. With help from the Sound Man, Kermit the Frog, and Caspar the Friendly Spook; weaving together actual events and the richly imagined fabric of Bell's private life; going back and forth in time between Italy during World War II and America during the 1970's: THE ROCKETDYNE COMMISSION pulls its readers into the drama and the tragedy of our nation's darkest hours.
