The third industrial revolution

PUTNAM

The first industrial revolution was ushered in by the steam engine and the second by the computer. The third, says Stine in this optimistic look into the future, has already started by man's first halting steps into space...the next century or two will see all of earth's industry moved into space, where it can pollute to its heart's content, and earth will once again become the green paradise it was 100,000 years ago. And this will be accomplished not by lifting industry from our planet, but by utilizing the resources elsewhere in our solar system. Raw materials will come from the other planets, energy will be derived from the sun... (Publishers Weekly)

A fully updated new edition of the bible of model rocketry and the official handbook of the National Association of Rocketry G. Harry Stine was one of the founders of model rocketry and one of its most accomplished and respected figures. His Handbook of Model Rocketry has long been recognized as the most authoritative and reliable resource in the field. Now fully updated and expanded by Harry's son Bill Stine, who inherited his father's passion for model rockets, the new Seventh Edition includes the many changes in the hobby that have occurred since the last edition was published, such as new types of rockets, motors, and electronic payloads, plus computer software and Internet resources. This new edition also includes new photos and a new chapter on high-power rocketry. G. Harry Stine, founder and one-time president of the National Association of Rocketry, started the world's first model rocket company, whose kits are now in the Smithsonian. Bill Stine, also a model rocket expert, is the founder and president of Quest Aerospace Inc.

The Classic Guide by the "Father of Model Rocketry" Now Completely Revised and up to Date… This new edition of the model rocketeer’s "bible" shows you how to safely build, launch, track, and recover model rockets—and have fun doing it. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran model rocketeer, the Handbook of Model Rocketry, the official manual of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), will become your well-used reference book. G. Harry Stine has been a model rocketeer since 1957 when he founded the NAR and started the first model rocket company. Stine’s Handbook, after satisfying rocket enthusiasts for nearly three decades, remains the definitive resource. Recent technological progress has had a major effect on the model rocket hobby and sport. This revised and updated edition covers such new technology as: 
<ul>
<li>revised computer programs that use improved versions of Basic composite propellant model rocket motors</li> <li>recently approved reloadable model rocket motors building and flying large model rockets</li> <li>radio-controlled boost gliders and rocket gliders</li> <li>solid-state, microchip, computer-readable modules used to measure temperature, pressure, acceleration, and airspeed</li> </ul>

From Library Journal\nStine, aerospace historian and engineer, has written the first comprehensive history of the ICBM. Uneven in coverage (too much data on the V-2 program and too little on the latest missile systems), the book still manages to present a fairly complete account of the development of most U.S. and Soviet ICBMs. The author has the ability to make technical material interesting and understandable. The text reads like a diary, with Stine offering vivid portrayals of the scientists and generals in the U.S. program, as well as personal insights into ways of avoiding future research and development problems. Previously unpublished material on the early Soviet ICBM program adds spice to the text. Did you know that early Soviet nose cones were made from such exotic materials as plywood? This clearly written volume provides the most complete, unclassified history of the ICBM in print. Recommended for public and high school libraries.

Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.\nFrom Kirkus Reviews\nAn eyewitness history of the development of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, by former ICBM engineer and veteran author Stine (The Corporate Survivors, 1986, etc.). Subject to the pitfalls common to all ``big science'' projects (erratic funding, program alterations and other time-induced complications), Stine explains, the development of a missile that could deliver nuclear warheads anywhere on earth experienced its ups and downs since its inception among a group of German engineers in the early 1930's. Also as usual, actual demonstrations, when successful, proved most effective in raising development funds; Germany's WW II V-2 rocket inspired not only America's postwar importation of Wernher von Braun and company, but an array of programs that would eventually lead to the Polaris and Minuteman systems in the US and their counterparts in the USSR. Designed by idealistic scientists and engineers who often viewed their work as the only way to get into space, the ICBM program enormously outgrew its relatively puny offshoot, the Apollo program, drawing government funds into an ever-increasing arms competition between the Soviet Union and the US. Stine, who was fired from the ICBM program in 1957 after he discussed the military implications of the Soviets' Sputnik I satellite with a journalist, does not hesitate to assert here that the development of a defense against the ICBM, i.e., the Strategic Defense Initiative, is not only inevitable but imperative as ICBM technology trickles down to smaller, potentially less stable nations. A highly opinionated account in which debatable opinions are often intermingled with fact, but an intriguing look nonetheless at how weapon systems are developed. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.
