Book Description
Jane Sutphin Leitch has pulled a memoir out of her once stylish hat. It introduces her father, an ordinary guy, who bought a defunct ice hockey team, borrowed a million dollars on his signature in 1934, at 39 years old, to build an ice palace of almost 10,000 seats. He had to pay it all back in the Great Depression of the 1930's. He just happened to mention this at the dinner table to the startled Irish mother of six children. Throughout a 50 year marital adventure, what follows is the magic of show business, the might of small manufacturing and the magnitude of a devoted family and fascinating loyal friends who find themselves 100 years later, still wondering how it all plays out.

Book Description
The enemy spacefleet arrowed toward the armored mountain-nerve center of the Galactic Patrol. The Patrol battle cruisers swerved to meet them, and a miles-long cone of pure energy ravened out at the invaders, destroying whatever it touched. But the moment before the force beam struck, thousands of tiny objects dropped from the enemy fleet and, faster than light, flashed straight at their target-each one an atom bomb powerful enough to destroy Patrol Headquarters by itself! The Galactic Patrol-and civilization itself-had seconds to live. Unless a miracle happened.... **

Instrumentation and Research Programmes for Small Telescopes
Author: J.B. Hearnshaw
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9789027723246
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This volume is the proceedings of IAU Symposium No. 118 on "Instrumentation. and Research Programmes for Small Telescopes", where small telescopes were defined as those ground-based instruments with apertures less than 1.5m. The scientific goal of the symposium was to emphasise research programmes which were more suited to smaller tele scopes, on which frequent regular observations can be made. A wide variety of topics on instrumentation, photometry, spectroscopy and polarimetry of objects in the solar system to extragalactic systems were discussed. Each of the four scientific days of the symposium comprised a number of invited review papers, contributed oral papers and discussion sessions devoted purely to the large number (~4) of poster papers. An introductory paper on the research potential of small telescopes sets the scene for the symposium. The proceedings have then been divided into three sections. Section I: Telescopes and instrumentation; Section II: Photometric research programmes; Section III: Spectroscopic research programmes. The diversity of topics within each of these sections indicated the extent to which small telescopes have (and can) contribute greatly to astronomical research. Dr J.A. Graham's summary of the symposium, which illustrates the opportunities available with small telescopes, concludes these proceedings. As in all symposia, the importance of the discussion following each paper was realised. The discussion was recorded on tape (and wherever possible on questions and answer sheets), transcribed and then edited.
