Synopsis
This third edition tells readers why astronauts are weightless, why satellites don't fall from the sky, how we will live on Mars, and whether or not there is life elsewhere in the universe. This book has been updated with recent information on the science and technology involved in the new frontier of space. It is written as a textbook for an undergraduate liberal arts course, with or without mathematics. Subjects covered include: orbital decay; concepts for removing debris from LEO; LEO vs GEO for communications satellites; cell phones via satellite; radar satellites; Hubble space telescope servicing missions; orbiter modifications; new observations of the sun; GPS applications; videoconferencing; and magnetic levitation.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Note: This book now feels like another life. I wrote it when I knew little about poetry and thought editing was more of a nice idea than a necessary practice. I have thought many times about taking it down, feeling like it's not at all representative of my work. Then I remembered Julia Cameron's discussion of how artists rarely get to see people's earliest work. The first poems, the student films, etc. It can make us feel like people started out great and like we must do the same. I'm not trying to claim greatness now, either. I'm just saying, here's my very early stuff. It's all been a part of my process and my growth. And now you can have it for cheap Original synopsis: We all feel the cracking in our bones, the strain of our hearts, and the aching that comes with growing up. Loving, love lost, adventure, a hunger for home (whatever home means), nostalgia, angst. We all just want someone to look us in the face and say, I know exactly how you feel. And that is precisely what High Wire Darlings is here to tell us. Seller Inventory # 00106977779
