It is a basic premise of the Wind and Beyond series that nothing about the historical development of aircraft has ever been linear. On the way to aeronautical “progress”—however one chooses to define the term—there has always been, and always will be, countless twists and turns. And in the end, the entire story could have turned out differently—and still may. It is hoped that not only…
The first two volumes in the Wind and Beyond series and the succeeding four now in preparation all cover the impact of aerodynamic development on the evolution of the airplane in America. As the six-volume series will ultimately demonstrate, just as the airplane is a defining technology of the twentieth century, aerodynamics has been the defining element of the airplane.The forthcoming volumes …
The airplane ranks as one of history’s most ingenious and phenomenal inventions. It has surely been one of the most world-changing. How ideas about aerodynamics first came together and how the science and technology evolved to forge the airplane into the revolutionary machine that it became is the epic story told in this multivolume work, The Wind and Beyond: A Documentary Journey into the Hi…

It is simply not acceptable to always show an emotional response i…

This book does not deal with all forms of dance equitably; it is primarily about the movements of classical ballet, not because of a judgment as to the inherent value or worth of that style of dance, but because of the relatively well defined and accepted “vocabulary” of movements and positions. Although there are variations in the style with which balletic movements are carried out by diff…

Contemporary British parasitologist Frank Cox has explored how the question of what parasitology is has shaped the history of the discipline. Given that the parasitic lifestyle is common to helminths, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, parasitoid insects, some plants like mistletoe, and even birds like cuckoos, there is—and has historically been—a need to narrow down the subject …
The process of diagnosing a plant health problem without any specialised laboratory equipment is called ‘field diagnosis’. Field diagnosis involves careful observation of the symptoms on a plant and linking those symptoms with possible causes. While some plant health problems are relatively easy to diagnose, others can be very difficult for a number of reasons. For instance, there may be mu…

The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and arou…
