Digital Television at home: Satellite, Cable and Over-the-Air: Using, controlling and understanding digital ...4 reviews
Gregory Dudek
Y1D books, 2008
Easy to understand with lots of information
This is a great book that comes to cover a void between too technical books that are addressed to experts and too simple books that have almost zero content. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone that is curious about their home entertainment unit, and also to anyone that is interested in improving their experience using all the available options.
All in all a great book

Understanding GPS: Principles and Applications, Second Edition9 reviews
Artech House Publishers, 2005
Clearly the Best General Reference on GPS
I've been an engineer and PM working with GPS and GPS systems since the inception of GPS in the mid-80s. While employed by a major DOD research lab I was fortunate enough not only to have access to practically every GPS book and article available, but I also had the opportunity to meet many of the key people responsible for the design and development of the system (many of whom contributed to ...

Mitchell Stephens
Viking Adult, 1988
He was a god.
My dog is named Coco. He likes to run away from home all the time. I keep a journal of his behavior. It is filled with instances of when I have given him dog biscuits and he ate them on my bed leaving crumbs all over the sheets.

National Geographic Satellite Atlas Of The World (National Geographic)7 reviews
National Geographic Society
National Geographic, 1998
My number one possession
The National Geographic Satellite Atlas of the World, is a must own for anyone with any amount of interest in geography. Satellite imagery itself is still relatively new, and so the imediate impact of these pictures on a viewer is overwhelming. To look at these images and realize that this one of the many views from space is mystifying. But thats not the only reason to look at these pictures. ...

Blazing The Trail: The Early History Of Spacecraft And Rocketry (General Publication) (General Publication) ...4 reviews
Mike Gruntman
AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast, 2004
Amazing book
I am a Russian physicist with experience of some years working in Soviet/Russian aerospace R&D. The book "Blazing the Trail" is amazing at least due to two advantages. The first one is that I have never seen such an excellent description of the early Soviet space and rocket history, including in the Russian literature, and the second is that the style of writing is so lush that creates an ...

Beautiful and Enlightening
This book has some beautiful images of every place on earth. I was specifically drawn to the images of the earth taken once a month. The difference in the seasons is dramatic and stunning. It would be a lovely centerpiece and a wonderful learning tool.

The Holy Land Satellite Atlas, Volume 12 reviews
Richard Cleave
Rohr Productions, 1999
Worthwhile
Buy this to get a feel of the land, not to reference quick information about an area. There are no specific boundaries, just regional approximations, and mimimal information about each area.
There are two kinds of maps, topography and layer-tint. I didn't find the topography map useful, but the layer -tint ones are great. They've used color to represent depth/height to a very precise level. ...

Prentice Hall PTR, 1999
A good reference describing Direct Broadcast Satellite
For those who want to understand the main principles of the satellite communications system construction. The author provides a comprehensive explanation of error correction, MPEG compression and even RF issues important in a context of the modern DBS system. The book is very easy to read and is NOT intended for the developers!

Neptune: The planet, rings and satellites (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration)3 reviews
Springer, 2002
Great Book, Plus a lot on the Voyager Missions
Neptune is the eighth planet in the solar system, the last gas giant and the last planet of any real size. Due to its great distance from the sun, everything that we knew about this planet, until Voyager 2 visited it in 1989, was determined by telescopic observation. In this book, the authors, who both worked on the Voyager science team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, summarize the ...
