Hardcover. Copyright 1993, may be later printing. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. ix, [1], 356, [2] p. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. From Wikipedia: "Leonard C. Bruno (born 1944) was the Science Manuscript Historian and subject specialist in the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress. Amongst his books are reference guides to the library s collections in the history of science. After more than forty years of service at the Library of Congress he retired in June 2012. His career at the Library of Congress began with a temporary writing and research position in the Library of Congress Science and Technology and Business Division in 1969. Twenty-six years later shifted to work in the Library of Congress' manuscript division. As the manuscripts historian for science at the Library of Congress he was primarily responsible for the exhibition and acquisition of the papers of scientists. He was instrumental in the digitization and exhibition of the Wright Brothers's papers[3] and the acquisition of Carl Sagan's Papers. His work has been reviewed in journals such as Technology and Culture, and Isis. From Wikipedia: "Dr. Gerald A. Soffen (February 7, 1926 November 22, 2000), known as Jerry or Gerry, was a NASA scientists and educator who served in a wide variety of roles for the space agency, primarily dealing with either education or with life sciences especially the search for life on Mars. He earned his A.B.S. from the University of California, Los Angeles, his M.S. from University of Southern California, and his Ph.D. in Biology from Princeton University. Working from NASA's Langley Research Center in the mid-to late-1970s, Dr. Soffen was Project Scientist for the NASA's Viking program of Mars landers, the first successful missions to perform unmanned experiments on the surface of the planet. In that role, he oversaw all scientific investigations conducted by the landers, coordinating the work of more than seventy scientists around the nation. Later, he would become NASA Langley's Chief Environmental Scientist, leading work on remote sensing by satellite as well as laboratory experiments, ground-based measurements, and theoretical models. After concluding his work with Viking, Soffen became the Director of Life Sciences at NASA Headquarters in 1978. In this position, Dr. Soffen was responsible for the agency-wide program to monitor and maintain the physical well being of NASA astronauts in space, as well as the Biomedical Program, the Space Biology Program, and the Exobiology (also sometimes called the Astrobiology) program. In 1983, Soffen transferred from NASA Headquarters to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland. Initially, his role at GSFC focused on establishing the "Mission to Planet Earth" program; Soffen also served as the project scientist for NASA's Earth Observing System as that program was starting. In the 1990s, though, Soffen's focus would shift to education. In 1990, Soffen lead the formation of the University Programs office at GSFC, an office he would manage for several years. Three years into that role, Soffen created NASA Academy, NASA's premiere leadership training internship. Dr. Soffen has been memorialized in several ways by his peers and former students. The "Dr. Gerald A. Soffen Memorial Fund for the Advancement of Space Science Education" was established by the NASA Academy Alumni Association "to continue Jerry's commitment to the future of space by supporting motivated students in the fields of space science and engineering"." Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Inscription, to Gerald Soffen on title page. N° de réf. du vendeur 68974
