Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A protean, unclassifiable narrative with elements of myth, history, hallucination--Robert Louis Nathan's first novel spreads a sequence of protagonists over 35 centuries and several continents. Nathan invents a 15th century B.C. aboriginal Australian… Messiah, Wilkulda, who welds the insights of tribal totemic worship with a new gospel based on love and forgiveness. The ""Dreamtime"" is both space (uninhabitable central Australia, where Wilkulda penetrates to the eyrie of the Sky Eagle, creator of his tribe or ""mankind"") and time (an eternal present in which the Sky Eagle and the lesser totemic ancestors ritually create and sustain the ""mankinds""). Wilkulda's disciple Kalod lives for centuries preaching the new/old truth, and enough of the legend survives in the mid-19th century to convert a godly British sea captain who hears Wilkulda's story in Sydney from a syphilitic Dutchman and his aborigine whom. The captain's grand-nephew, a blinded and lung-damaged WW I veteran, inherits his journal and the task of sorting out the facts of his apocalyptic end. Nathan handles his bizarrely original materials with erratic skill. His greatest difficulty is in Finding a language measured to his different first- and third-person narratives: clumsy, bathetic passages compete with genuinely incantatory moments. There is trouble too with Wilkulda's message and the emphasis on myth in human experience. Nathan has to make these strike us with the force of revelation if they are to form an adequate center for the work, and he doesn't always succeed. But the structure of the narrative as it moves in and out of the various times and stories is wonderfully vigorous. Each story parallels the others; the shape of the book embodies the idea of an eternal creation and a continuum of experience which sounds bookish and anticlimactic when Nathan tries to formulate it directly. A work to stretch the imagination--by force and sometimes by craft.

Retains original "Restricted" classification of the Air Technical Service Command. Less wear than most extant copies. A massive rocketry work compiled by remarkable polymath Hsue-shen Tsien (also known as Qian Xuesen): a mathematician, physicist, and inventor of the field of engineering cybernetics. Tsien was a wartime US Army consultant at the time of publication; later he became Goddard Professor of Aerodynamics at Cal Tech. With the onset on McCarthyism his loyalty was questioned by American intelligence agencies and he was confined to house arrest for five years. He left the US for his homeland of China in 1955 on a boat, never to return. Some historians have argued this was greatest single loss the American scientific establishment ever suffered. Warmly welcomed upon arrival by the Chinese communist government, he was instrumental in producing the first Chinese ballistic missile, which also served as foundation for the country's first satellite. He is still revered in China as the father of their space and nuclear programs.
