PRINT FORMAT ONLY NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT- OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price This new book from the NASA History Series tackles an interesting duo of biological problems that will be familiar to anybody who has seen photos of Apollo astronauts quarantined after their return to Earth. Namely, how do we avoid contaminating celestial bodies with Earthly germs when we send spacecraft to study these bodies, and how do we avoid spreading foreign biological matter from space when our robotic and human spacefarers return to Earth? Biological matter from an external system could potentially cause an unchecked epidemic either on Earth or in space so strict precautions are necessary. Each time a space vehicle visits another world it runs the risk of forever changing that extraterrestrial environment. We are surrounded on Earth by a mélange of different microorganisms, and if some of these hitchhike onboard a space mission, they could contaminate and start colonies on a different planet. Such an occurrence would irrevocably alter the nature of that world, compromise all future scientific exploration of the body, and possibly damage any extant life on it. By inadvertently carrying exotic organisms back to Earth on our spacecraft, we also risk the release of biohazardous materials into our own ecosystem. Such concerns were recognized by scientists even before the 1957 launch of Sputnik. This book presents the history of planetary protection by tracing the responses to the above concerns on NASA’s missions to the Moon, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and many smaller bodies of our solar system. The book relates the extensive efforts put forth by NASA to plan operations and prepare space vehicles that return exemplary science without contaminating the biospheres of other worlds or our own. To protect irreplaceable environments, NASA has committed to conducting space exploration in a manner that is protective of the bodies visited, as well as of our own planet.
This book explains how Native American Casinos became the largest group of casinos in America as a result of the efforts of Congress, the National Indian Gaming Commission, and the creative management companies and game suppliers that served the tribes. This book is the biography of Gordon Graves, whom many consider being the Father of Indian Gaming. It tracks his early career in military electronics as the field matured from using large analog machines to inventing and utilizing digital computers. Graves then transformed his career as an accomplished engineer involved with military systems to become an entrepreneur in numerous fields, concluding in Indian gaming while building a business (Multimedia Games) worth over a billion dollars. Graves saw the future for Indian gaming and fought alongside the Indians through the courts to develop the industry into what it is today, a forty billion-dollar business. It was a wild ride!
The Columbia River Gorge in Wash. State is one of the most majestic and unique areas in the world. Here the Columbia River carved out the only sea-level break through the Cascade range on its way to the Pacific Ocean. With the Cascades towering as high as 4,000 feet on either side of the river, one finds an everchanging panorama from lush Douglas-fir forests, craggy stands of pine and oaks, majestic stone-faced cliffs, and spectacular waterfalls, to windswept plateaus and semi-arid conditions. This illustrated document brings together information on its history, geology, ecology, natural resources, fisheries, and mgmt. issues.
Thaddeus (Taad) Aaron Lindenhall is the sixth generation of the Lindenhall lineage living in an agricultural community, Atkinsville, in southeastern Kansas. The family owns two sections of land, one of which Taad leased to others and the other being the Old World Forest. Taad is the largest retail merchant in town, and the family name enjoys a high level of notoriety and prominence in the community. Residents and farmers in and around Atkinsville understand that the Lindenhalls have no intention to level the Wood, as it’s called by Taad, and allow local grain farmers to exploit it for farming. Westerly tips off Taad. That one local rancher-farmer, Clayton Jurkins, is determined to harvest the forest and farm it, but worse still, he aims to drive the Lindenhall clan from the area and gain control of Lindenhall’s lands. Taad plans a defense to protect his family from Jurkins’s efforts to disrupt the peace, then (with the help of Elenore, an Overseer) discovers that someone has buried bodies in his Wood, and the hunt is on to find a psychopath in their midst.
While driving home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, along a major Interstate highway, Trenton Brambly Smithson witnesses an asteroid crashing to earth where it creates a 30-mile diameter crater obliterating his home city. At a distance of about 60 miles, Trent and two new friends survive the disaster. The trek to find civilization and safety turns ominous when he discovers much of northeast Oklahoma devoid of citizens due to forced evacuation by police and militia forces supported by the military. Militia forces now rules the area, which is to become a military reservation built for exterminating undesirable citizens. Aside from the possible global ecological consequences of the event, the powers-that-be activate National Guard units unilaterally, deploy regular military units and recall troops from abroad prior to the asteroid disaster, and declare martial law. States now oppose each other and the potential for civil war looms large. The chief executive, the President of the United States, Dwayne Jefferson Troutman, has decided to rule for the rest of his life. Smithson, supported by seasoned military associates, restores order to northeast Oklahoma creating the erosion of tyrannical support, and the team turns their focus to bringing the chief executive to justice. The chase is on...the vermin is loose.
