The Good Drone
Author: Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262358468
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
How small-scale drones, satellites, kites, and balloons are used by social movements for the greater good. Drones are famous for doing bad things: weaponized, they implement remote-control war; used for surveillance, they threaten civil liberties and violate privacy. In The Good Drone, Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick examines a different range of uses: the deployment of drones for the greater good. Choi-Fitzpatrick analyzes the way small-scale drones--as well as satellites, kites, and balloons--are used for a great many things, including documenting human rights abuses, estimating demonstration crowd size, supporting anti-poaching advocacy, and advancing climate change research. In fact, he finds, small drones are used disproportionately for good; nonviolent prosocial uses predominate.

Aeronautical and Astronautical Resources of the Library of Congress
Author: Ronald S. Wilkinson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
"The collections of the Library of Congress in the history of aeronautics are plausibly the best in the world. Aside from some limited efforts describing aeronautics in the Library's special collections, however, no really substantial guide for researchers exists whose goal is to direct investigators to those resources on a Library-wide basis. Aeronautical and Astronautical Resources of the Library of Congress: A Comprehensive Guide is the first comprehensive, annotated guide to the Library's collections concerning the history of aeronautics and astronautics."--Excerpted from Preface, page 9.

From Autogiro to Gyroplane
Author: Bruce H. Charnov
Publisher: Praeger
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
"This is the first book to tell the fascinating 80-year history of today's gyroplane and its antecedent, the Autogiro. Charnov explains that the near-eclipse of the Autogiro was caused by a potent combination of bad luck, the impact of the Great Depression and World War II and egregious business decisions. Only by understanding the amazing manner in which this aviation technologies has persisted and evolved can one fully understand the basis for its future. In contrast to the fate of the Autogiro, the gyroplane's unfolding story is characterized by successful business models, effective decision making, and the emergence of cutting-edge technology.
