With a focus on China, the United States, and India, this book
examines the economic ambitions of the second space race. The
authors argue that space ambitions are informed by a combination of
factors, including available resources, capability, elite
preferences, and talent pool. The authors demonstrate how these
influences affect the development of national space programs as
well as policy and law.

Astrochemistry is a well-established interdisciplinary subject and
the methods for describing time-dependent chemistry in static or
slowly-changing regions of interstellar space have been
well-developed over many years. Existing astrochemical books
normally describe the subject in terms of chemistry in static or
slowly-varying astronomical situations but the most significant
astronomical regions are those in which the physical conditions
change on timescales that are comparable to or shorter than
chemical timescales. Written by leading experts in this area, this
is the first book specifically devoted to the astrochemistry of
dynamically evolving astronomical regions. It provides a
comprehensive description of this important area of science,
stressing in particular the methods that have been developed for
specific purposes. It will be of interest to researchers in
astrochemistry, including both chemists and physicists and could
form the basis of a postgraduate course for research students in
chemistry and physics.
This edition of The Reference Shelf examines the evolving issues of
space science and technology, providing periodical articles that
provide perspective of America's past, present, and future in the
realm of space exploration. Issues examined include the debate over
military space development from Star Wars to the Space Force, the
future of NASA, and the growth and possible future of the private
space tourism industry.
The Earths Beginning are lectures which were delivered in the Royal
Institution of Great Britain. It considers the majestic subject of
the evolution of the solar system of which our earth forms a part.
The nebular theory discloses the beginning of this earth itself. It
shows how the foundations of this solid earth have been laid, and
how it is that we have land to tread on and air to breathe. But the
subject has a scope far wider than merely in its relation to our
earth.
