Download or read book A Dictionary of the Space Age written by Paul Dickson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2009 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice The launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 ushered in an exciting era of scientific and technological advancement. As television news anchors, radio hosts, and journalists reported the happenings of the American and the Soviet space programs to millions of captivated citizens, words that belonged to the worlds of science, aviation, and science fiction suddenly became part of the colloquial language. What’s more, NASA used a litany of acronyms in much of its official correspondence in an effort to transmit as much information in as little time as possible. To translate this peculiar vocabulary, Paul Dickson has compiled the curious lingo and mystifying acronyms of NASA in an accessible dictionary of the names, words, and phrases of the Space Age. Aviators, fighter pilots, and test pilots coined the phrases “spam in a can” (how astronauts felt prelaunch as they sat in a tiny capsule atop a rocket booster); “tickety-boo” (things are fine), and “the Eagle has landed” (Neil Armstrong’s famous quote when Apollo 11 landed on the Moon). This dictionary captures a broader foundation for language of the Space Age based on the historic principles employed by the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster’s New Third International Dictionary. Word histories for major terms are detailed in a conversational tone, and technical terms are deciphered for the interested student and lay reader. This is a must-own reference for space history buffs.

This book was released on 1999-08-27 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could the following possibly have in common? Accumulator...acid sludge...actuating cartridge...air bag inflator...cut back asphalt...Bangalore torpedo...wet battery...bhusa...blau gas...box toe gum...bursters...copra...dead oil... etching acid...fish meal...fracturing devices... gasohol...gutta percha.. hay... iron swarf...jet tapper... kapok...lithium cartouche...M86 fuel...natural uranium...organotin pesticides...pepper spray...petroleum raffinate...picrotoxin...refrigerant gas...rubber shoddy...safety squib...seed expeller...slurry explosive...tankage...turpentine substitute...uncalcined...varnish drier...wax vesta matches...zinc ash These are some of the vague and confusing regulatory terms that must be used to describe the 3.6 billion metric tons of dangerous chemicals and products transported around the world each year by air, land, and water. In fact, the use of this jargon, mandated by many national and international authorities like the United Nations, makes regulatory compliance and safe transportation extremely uncertain. Existing references provide little help. Even the regulations supply only a limited number of descriptions of the terms. Glossary for the Worldwide Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Materials finally provides accurate, clear explanations of the terms used in worldwide transportation of hazardous materials. Written by a leading environmental and transportation consultant and educator, it is the principal reference for all shippers and transporters involved in the identification of dangerous goods and hazardous materials - the basis of all subsequent transportation requirements.
