Book Description
On October 4, 1957, the day Leave It to Beaver premiered on American television, the Soviet Union launched the space age. Sputnik, all of 184 pounds with only a radio transmitter inside its highly polished shell, became the first artificial satellite in space; while it immediately shocked the world, its long-term impact was even greater, for it profoundly changed the shape of the twentieth century. Paul Dickson chronicles the dramatic events and developments leading up to and resulting from Sputnik's launch. Supported by groundbreaking, original research and many declassified documents, Sputnik offers a fascinating profile of the early American and Soviet space programs and a strikingly revised picture of the politics and personalities behind the facade of America's fledgling efforts to get into space. The U.S. public reaction to Sputnik was monumental. In a single weekend, Americans were wrenched out of a mood of national smugness and postwar material comfort. Initial shock at and fear of the Soviets' intentions galvanized the country and swiftly prompted innovative developments that define our world today. Sputnik directly or indirectly influenced nearly every aspect of American life: from an immediate shift toward science in the classroom to the arms race that defined the Cold War, the competition to reach the moon, and the birth of the internet. By shedding new light on a pivotal era, Dickson expands our knowledge of the world we now inhabit and reminds us that the story of Sputnik goes far beyond technology and the beginning of the space age, and that its implications are still being felt today.
Pharmacology of the Coronary Circulation

Book Description
"Diseases associated with impairment of the coronary circulation are very common. Hence, the treatment of such diseases is a matter of considerable importance. It is now considered one of the main problems of clinical medicine. The basis for solving the problem is to enlarge our knowledge of the mechanisms of action of the drugs used to treat coronary insufficiency and to find new effective agents. Owing to the complexity of physiological regulation of the coronary circulation, there are many difficulties of a procedural order in studying it experimentally. This was one of the reasons why ideas on the action of many pharmacological agents were derived until recently from the results of experiments involving the isolated heart. When applied to the intact organism, these ideas proved to be inexact and, at times, wrong. Some ideas on the effects of certain drugs were based on experiments involving the intact organism, but the data proved to be inexact due to the inadequacy of the method selected by the authors to determine the mechanism of action of a given substance. Another reason for misconceptions of the effects of some drugs stemmed from insufficient knowledge and contradictory opinions expressed by various investigators on many aspects of the coronary circulation. Now, however, advances in experimental techniques have produced new facts bearing on the physiological regulation of the cardiac blood supply. This has given rise to the need to reexamine some matters concerned with the influence of pharmacological agents on the coronary circulation, relying on modern ideas concerning its physiological regulation and using adequate experimental techniques. Most drugs have complex mechanisms of action owing to the intimate relationship between the processes regulating the cardiac blood supply. Elucidation of these mechanisms requires the use of various techniques, each of which must be suited to the particular aspect under study. This approach will result in a reappraisal of the action of several pharmacological agents on the coronary circulation. Moreover, we believe that the data in this book will be helpful in making more efficient use of these agents in the treatment of various forms of coronary insufficiency."--Introduction
