Bell X-1 - Bok av Peter E. Davies - Häftad

Bell X-1 - Bok av Peter E. Davies - Häftad

In 1947, no one knew if it was possible to break the 'sound barrier'. The Bell X-1 was the tiny, rocket-powered craft that finally broke it. It was the result of innovative designers and engineers turning their attention from the pioneering jets of World War II to a new task - an aircraft designed purely to fly faster than sound. Legendary pilots rallied to the cause, with World War II ace Chuck Yeager piloting the X-1 when it finally achieved supersonic flight in 1947, the first manned craft to..

Vanessa Bell - Portrait of the Bloomsbury Artist - Bok av Frances Spalding - Häftad

Vanessa Bell - Portrait of the Bloomsbury Artist - Bok av Frances Spalding - Häftad

Vanessa Bell is central to the history of the Bloomsbury Group, yet until this authorised biography was written, she largely remained a silent and inscrutable figure. Tantalising glimpses of her life appeared mainly in her sister, Virginia Woolf's, letters, diaries and biography. Frances Spalding here draws upon a mass of unpublished documents to reveal Bell's extraordinary achievements in both her art and her life. She recounts in vivid detail how Bell's move into the Bloomsbury Group and her exposure..

Party and Faction in American Politics - The House of Representatives, 1789-1801 - Bok av Rudolph Bell - Inbunden

?A useful quantitative analysis of voting behavior in the House of Representatives from 1789 to 1801.

Caring for the Retarded in America - A History - Bok av Leland Bell - Inbunden

?According to Tyor and Bell, ... debate over how to meet the needs of the retarded is not a new one. Their interpretation is that mentally retarded people have been viewed traditionally with a mixture of pity, scorn, fear, and contempt, and have been consigned to the periphery of society.' The mentally retarded are, they emphasize, an underclass of forgotten people.' Even though some have championed their cause, the mentally retared have had few advocates working on their behalf. Ignorance of their..
