A propos de cet article

Los Angeles: Delcominy Creations, LLC, 2011. Signed by Dr. M. Clemmons directly on the title page (her signature only, NOT personalized to anyone). SIGNED copies are SCARCE. New and unread. Bright and shiny. Flat, uncreased spine. NO chips, tears, creases or fading. Square and tight. Hinges are perfect. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are bright white, fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. Photo illustrated. From the rear cover: "It's an unforgettable sight: innovation expert Maureen Clemmons can lift and fly massive objects, including five-ton stones, with little more than a steady wind and a good kite. But did the ancient Egyptians do the same thing when hoisting immense obelisks and pyramid stones? Egyptologists say no. Clemmons, backed by a decade of field tests and a Caltech aeronautics team, isn't so certain -- especially when she learns the Egyptologists will not consider evidence from anyone outside their insular field. Buoyed by grassroots support and determined to show her children that science is for everyone, she launches into a series of stunning, block-heaving experiments that draw national news coverage. and open up a dangerous opportunity to try lifting a sixteen-ton, twenty-five-foot-tall megalith as the History Channel's documentary cameras roll. Can a backyard scientist lift such a massive stone using wind? Clemmons' unrelenting efforts not only advance a simple Eureka! moment to the halls of academia but prove an important point: you don't need a degree, just an inspired idea and some passion, to be a good scientist." . Signed by Dr. M. Clemmons. First Print Edition (so stated). Softcover. New. Illus. by NOT a library discard. vii, 192pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
