Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1971. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Hardcover. [8], 300, [4] pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. DJ worn and soiled with small tears. This work was prepared by the Novosti Press Agency Publishing House, Moscow. The author was a well-known Soviet journalist. He was a qualified pilot and devoted his entire later career to covering aviation and astronautics. He has 'flown' several space flights on simulators at the cosmonauts training center, knew many of them personally, and watched their selection and training. He may be the same Yevgeny Ryabchikov – the former Komsomolskaya Pravda’s journalist who served prison sentence for “counter-revolutionary activities” and came to Norilsk in 1943 at the Abraham Zavenyagin’s invitation. He was one of the first Norilsk newspaper For Metal and the bulletins Metal to the Front’s correspondents, issued trade leaflets. Yevgenii Ryabchikov wrote the screenplay for the first film about Norilsk The Giant of the Arctic. The film crew from Novosibirsk came to the northern city in 1945. The fact that the book about a tightly closed settlement was published is surprising. The decision to publish this book was taken at the very top in Moscow. More

Illustrations. NASA Organization Charts. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Minor edge soiling. . This is Volume V of a multi-volume series providing a 20-year compilation of summary statistical and other data descriptive of NASA's programs in aeronautics and manned and unmanned spaceflight. This series is an important component of NASA published historical reference works, used by NASA personnel, managers, external researchers, and other government agencies. In 1973, NASA published the first volume of the NASA Historical Data Book, a hefty tome containing mostly tabular data on the resources of the space agency between 1958 and 1968. There, broken into detailed tables, were the facts and figures associated with the budget, facilities, procurement, installations, and personnel of NASA during that formative decade. In 1988, NASA reissued that first volume of the data book and added two additional volumes on the agency's programs and projects, one each for 1958-1968 and 1969-1978. NASA published a fourth volume in 1994 that addressed NASA resources for the period between 1969 and 1978. This fifth volume of the NASA Historical Data Book is a continuation of those earlier efforts. The compiler was a frequent author and/or contributor to NASA publications. More
