Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Anderson's Introduction to Flight is designed for first or
second-year engineering students and any reader looking for an
introduction to aerospace engineering. It is written in an
intentionally easy-to-understand style. Readers are introduced to
the basic areas of aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, and
space flight (astronautics). In this edition, space flight content
covers the expanding role of space vehicles within the field of
aerospace engineering. Continuing the tradition of the previous
edition, the 9th edition is intended not only to educate but also
to motivate the reader to pursue the subject of aerospace
engineering. In addition, new sections continue the unique
tradition of including historical content discussing the origins of
the technology. If you want to understand the engineering behind
how airplanes fly, how spacecrafts are launched into space, and how
they are able to follow the right path to their destination, this
book is for you.

The response to the first three editions of Modern Compressible
Flow: With Historical Perspective, from students, faculty, and
practicing professionals has been overwhelmingly favorable.
Therefore, this new edition preserves much of this successful
content while adding important new components. It preserves the
author's informal writing style that talks to the reader, that
gains the readers' interest, and makes the study of compressible
flow an enjoyable experience. Moreover, it blends the classical
nature of the subject with modern aspects of computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) and high temperature gas dynamics so important to
modern applications of compressible flow. In short, this book is a
unique teaching and learning experience.
The new edition of Fundamentals of Aerodynamics follows in the same
tradition as the previous editions: it is for students-to be read,
understood, and enjoyed. It is consciously written in a clear,
informal, and direct style to talk to the reader and gain their
interest in the challenging and yet beautiful discipline of
aerodynamics. The new edition of Fundamentals of Aerodynamics is
also available in McGraw Hill Connect, featuring SmartBook 2.0, a
curated question bank, Proctorio, and more!

Central Asia is a fascinating region yet remote and unfamiliar to
many people. This new study provides an introduction to the
politics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgzstan, Tajikistan, Turkestan, and
Uzbekistan. The early chapters introduce the readers to the history
of Russian and Soviet involvement in the region up until the
collapse of communism, whilst the bulk of the book focuses on the
politics of independence. The search for national identity in each
region and the influence of Islam are discussed and attention is
paid to political, economic and international developments. A
central theme of the book is the importance of informal politics
associated with national, regional and tribal networks in shaping
the evolution of the five states.

Originally published in 1890. This early works is a comprehensive
and informative look at the subject and will appeal to any
historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
Originally published in 1977, On Case Grammar, represents a
synthesis of various lines of research, with special regard to the
treatment of grammatical relations. Arguments are assessed for and
against case grammar, localism, lexical decomposition and
relational grammar. The book surveys the important evidence to
support the validity of the choice of a case grammar as the most
satisfactory of current accounts of the notion of grammatical
relations. This evidence is derived from a detailed examination of
various processes in English and from a typological comparison of
other languages, notably Dyirbal and Basque. The book also looks at
the establishment of principled limitation on the set of case
relations. Lexical, syntactical, semantic and morphological
evidence suggests that the set of cases is in conformity with the
predictions of a strong form of the localist hypothesis, which
requires that case relations be distinguished in terms of source
vs. goal vs. location.

Thunderbolt to War gives a remarkable insight into the structure
and operations of a leading USAAF Fighter Squadron in England
during the Second World War, together with personal thoughts and
feelings of skilled fighter pilot, Clint Sperry. The 353rd Fighter
Group was a rarely celebrated 'workhorse' of Eighth Fighter
Command, but names of some of its charismatic leaders still
resonate today. The 18-victory ace Walter Beckham and aggressive
Glenn E. Duncan were among those who led Clint to war. He and his
colleagues faced many frustrating and perilous experiences;
encountering enemy fighters and flak and also treacherous weather
and mechanical problems in the bloody battles over Europe. To
survive was a lottery, but those with previous flying hours before
entering service had the advantage of experience. Clint's successes
and traumas are highlighted to give a true picture of a fighter
pilot's war. He flew 106 missions in the P47 Thunderbolt, was
awarded 3 DFCs, and credited with destroying or probably destroying
five enemy aircraft as well as many targets on the ground by
strafing and bombing.
