Download or read book Catalogue of Books Belonging to the Saint Louis Mercantile Library Association written by St. Louis Mercantile Librar Association and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Books Belonging to the Saint Louis Mercantile Library Association: January, 1850 Part Second (page 225 to 307) is a Classification of Subjects, in which all the Books in the Library are collected under the titles of the department of learning to which they severally belong. Here, they are again arranged alphabetically, under the same word of reference as in Part First. Part Third (page 309) is an Alphabetical Index of subjects not enumerated in Part Second. The figures opposite each title denote the pages where books upon that subject can be found. With respect to the arrangement of the Classification, it may be well to state, that it is the same, with little exception, as that, which is used in the Catalogue of the Harvard University Library of 1830; and, as to a subject upon which the rules are so arbitrary and opinions so various, it is believed that this arrangement is as perfect as any heretofore published, and it is hoped that it will be as satisfactory to the mass of our readers as any which could be adopted.

Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Download or read book A Man and His Ship written by Steven Ujifusa and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating historical account…A snapshot of the American Dream culminating with this country’s mid-century greatness” (The Wall Street Journal) as a man endeavors to build the finest, fastest, most beautiful ocean liner in history. The story of a great American Builder at the peak of his power, in the 1940s and 1950s, William Francis Gibbs was considered America’s best naval architect. His quest to build the finest, fastest, most beautiful ocean liner of his time, the SS United States, was a topic of national fascination. When completed in 1952, the ship was hailed as a technological masterpiece at a time when “made in America” meant the best. Gibbs was an American original, on par with John Roebling of the Brooklyn Bridge and Frank Lloyd Wright of Fallingwater. Forced to drop out of Harvard following his family’s sudden financial ruin, he overcame debilitating shyness and lack of formal training to become the visionary creator of some of the finest ships in history. He spent forty years dreaming of the ship that became the SS United States. William Francis Gibbs was driven, relentless, and committed to excellence. He loved his ship, the idea of it, and the realization of it, and he devoted himself to making it the epitome of luxury travel during the triumphant post-World War II era. Biographer Steven Ujifusa brilliantly describes the way Gibbs worked and how his vision transformed an industry. A Man and His Ship is a tale of ingenuity and enterprise, a truly remarkable journey on land and sea.
