Navigation Systems for Space Travel

Navigation Systems for Space Travel
Navigation Systems for Space Travel by Paige McCallister
English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08HXF1VV4 | 272 pages | EPUB | 0.98 Mb
The goal of this publication is to provide the best of navigational systems for the space traveler. The authors have spent considerable time researching all things related to navigation for space travel. From this research and development period, we have developed best coordinate systems, best navigational tools, and best mapping programs, for traveling across space. Thus, in the publication we provide the best of these navigational systems. We discuss the basic concepts of each system, the science behind each system, and the practical details of operation of each system. Technical drawings are included where helpful. /// Humans will be traveling through space, and we will be settling distant regions of the galaxy. This is certain. Therefore, our desire in this Series is to design the best systems and tools to make this exploration a practical realty. This includes developing the Navigational Systems necessary for the journeys. Thus, this publication describes and illustrates the most effective tools and methods for long-distance space travel. /// We begin with the Coordinate Systems. The existing coordinate systems are inadequate for the needs of the space traveler. Therefore we have developed two new coordinate systems. The first of these is the Space Location Coordinate System. This coordinate system will designate the precise position of any object in space. This system will be used by all navigation crew to locate specific planets, stars, and beacons during travel. The second coordinate system is the Universe Grid System. This coordinate system divides the entire universe into several Space Regions. This perspective is useful for considering all things within a Space Region, as well as comparing activities from Region to Region. /// Navigational Tools. In this publication, we offer the following Navigational Tools for Space Travel: 1) Path Drawing Program; 2) Star-Map Room; 3) Space Beacons. // The Path-Drawing Program will trace the exact path the ship has taken from the home planet. This path can then be viewed on a Map. // The Star-Room Map is an immersive replica of the space environment. The user of the Map-Room can therefore call up a specific region of space, and see this reality as shown around him. // The Space Beacon Network will be a collection of Beacons throughout the galaxy. Each beacon will act as a lighthouse, as it emits a unique signal. This signal will be matched to a Beacon Map, and therefore the navigation crew will know their exact location in space. The Beacon Network will also be used as long-distance communication between planets. /// Therefore, when using these Coordinate Systems, the Navigational Tools, and the Mapping Systems, the space traveler will be able to effectively navigate through the vast distances of space. Using these Navigational Systems, all ships will remain on course, never deviating from their path. Such a direct route of travel will ensure the fastest travel between locations, and maximum safety for all travelers.Each design is fully explained and illustrated in this publication. // 43 illustrations.

English | April 10, 2018 | ISBN: 1785003496 | 446 pages | PDF | 49 Mb
Narrow Boat Engine Maintenance and Repair is a practical guide to help keep your engine operational, and your boat moving. It also provides instruction on how to identify faults and, where possible, how to fix them. With its focus on diesel engine operation, and the systems found on most vessels, this is a useful resource for any boat owner. It provides practical guidance to undertake everyday maintenance on your diesel engine; it demonstrates how to complete a service and locate and resolve common faults; explains the theory required to understand each of the boat's main systems and shares the practical skills and techniques that engineers spend many years learning. The book is highly illustrated with 264 colour step-by-step photographs and 60 technical diagrams.

My Heart Is a Drunken Compass A Memoir

My Heart Is a Drunken Compass A Memoir
Domingo Martinez, "My Heart Is a Drunken Compass: A Memoir"
English | ISBN: 149300140X | 2014 | 320 pages | EPUB | 746 KB
With his trademark tragic-comical voice and arresting storytelling, Domingo Martinez once again delivers a deeply personal memoir full of wry asides and poignant, thoughtful reflections in his new book My Heart Is a Drunken Compass. His first book shockingly ended with his fiancé Stephanie plummeting off the side of an overpass in Seattle, after having a seizure while driving. He now chronicles this painful episode in his life, with flashbacks to their tenuous romantic relationship, and how her accident and subsequent coma ultimately causes him to unravel emotionally. This pivotal moment, which began with an alarming call in the middle of the night, parallels another gut-wrenching experience from the past when his youngest brother's life hangs in the balance. Martinez once again brilliantly examines the complicated connections between family, friends, and loved ones. Feeling estranged from his family in Texas over the years, isolated and alone in Seattle, he turns to writing as a therapeutic tool. The underlying themes of addiction and recovery and their powerful impact on family dynamics also emerge within the narrative, as he struggles with his inner demons. These two traumatic life events actually bring Martinez closer to the family that he has in many ways spend years trying to deny, strengthening their bonds and healing old wounds. When Martinez falls apart completely, he finds his family, his redemption, and a new beginning with the love of his life, who encourages him to write his way out of the pain in order to save his own life.

Mutuality, Recognition, and the Self Psychoanalytic Reflections

Mutuality, Recognition, and the Self Psychoanalytic Reflections
Christine C. Kieffer, "Mutuality, Recognition, and the Self: Psychoanalytic Reflections"
English | 2013 | pages: 239 | ISBN: 178049159X, 0367101696 | PDF | 0,7 mb
This book examines emerging trends in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice, highlighting inter-subjective and relational models of the mind. The author presents vivid and extended clinical vignettes that demonstrate the analyst's use of the self in building clinical momentum and continued development. The author highlights the importance of mutuality and recognition in the development of the self, illustrating the impact of family, the larger group context, and the contribution of the analytic encounter. This book is divided into three sections: First, the contribution of family to development, including some relatively neglected topics, such as the importance of fathers in female development, the role of siblings, the experience of 'only' children or singletons in the family, and the impact of the extended family (including grandparents) upon the individual. A second section examines the influence of unconscious group processes upon individual development and functioning, and includes papers that highlight the contribution of group psychotherapy as a form of treatment.
