Download or read book Woods and the Sea written by Michael Dumiak and published by Black Dog Press. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woods and The Sea: Estonian Design and the Virtual Frontier' explores how Estonian designers have found ways to stoke creative spirit and forge distinctive goods, by their sense of place and historical interests. As a small nation on the Baltic coast, Estonia has acted as a port between Eastern Europe and Russia. In a small and often turbulent environment, its designers engage every aspect of Estonian culture, from stern Soviet orthodoxy to whirlwind globalisation, to a wired and forward-thinking social nature, to the constants of seaside life, and to mushroom hunting in the deep woods. 'Woods and The Sea' presents the stories and personalities of Estonian design and its distinctive style by taking the reader to its sources. 'Woods and the Sea' is structured in three parts; a long-form narrative portrait of Estonian designers, and the development of a distinct style, followed by essays exploring the history of Estonian design, and finally the current situation and future prospects of Estonian design.

This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we alone in this cosmos, or do we yet have to come to terms with the actual existence of alien life? Never before has so much time and concentrated effort been spent by so many scientists and writers in the pursuit of the answer to this fundamental question. In this extraordinary book, major scientists involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence known as SETI explain their work and reveal their secret thoughts. Now, in joining them here, are some of the best speculative thinkers, from Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov to Gregory Benford, who address the major philosophical questions involved. Intriguing, suspense-filled and intense, this book promises to deliver more than just mundane facts and theory.

Download or read book Space Law written by Francis Lyall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opening of space to exploration and use has had profound effects on society. Remote sensing by satellite has improved meteorology, land use and the monitoring of the environment. Satellite television immediately informs us visually of events in formerly remote locations, as well as providing many entertainment channels. World telecommunication facilities have been revolutionised. Global positioning has improved transport. This book examines the varied elements of public law that lie behind and regulate the use of space. It also makes suggestions for the development and improvement of the law, particularly as private enterprise plays an increasing role in space.

Download or read book The Value of the Moon written by Paul D. Spudis and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Moon was once thought to hold the key to space exploration, in recent decades, the U.S. has largely turned its sights toward Mars and other celestial bodies instead. In The Value of the Moon, lunar scientist Paul Spudis argues that the U.S. can and should return to the moon in order to remain a world leader in space utilization and development and a participant in and beneficiary of a new lunar economy. Spudis explores three reasons for returning to the Moon: it is close, it is interesting, and it is useful. The proximity of the Moon not only allows for frequent launches, but also control of any machinery we place there. It is interesting because recorded deep on its surface and in its craters is the preserved history of the moon, the sun, and indeed the entire galaxy. And finally, the moon is useful because it is rich with materials and energy. The moon, Spudis argues, is a logical base for further space exploration and even a possible future home for us all. Throughout his work, Spudis incorporates details about man's fascination with the moon and its place in our shared history. He also explores its religious, cultural, and scientific resonance and assesses its role in the future of spaceflight and our national security and prosperity.

Book excerpt: In 2019, China astonished the world by landing a spacecraft and rover on the far side of the Moon, something never achieved by any country before. China had already become the world’s leading spacefaring nation by rockets launched, sending more into orbit than any other. China is now a great space superpower alongside the United States and Russia, sending men and women into orbit, building a space laboratory (Tiangong) and sending probes to the Moon and asteroids. Roadmap 2050 promises that China will set up bases on the Moon and Mars and lead the world in science and technology by mid-century. China’s space programme is one of the least well-known, but this book will bring the reader up to date with its mysteries, achievements and exciting plans. China has built a fleet of new, powerful Long March rockets, four launch bases, tracking stations at home and abroad, with gleaming new design and production facilities. China is poised to build a large, permanent space station, bring back lunar rocks, assemble constellations of communications satellites and send spaceships to Mars, the moons of Jupiter and beyond. A self-sustaining lunar base, Yuegong, has already been simulated. In space, China is the country to watch.
