Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. A History and Genealogy of Captain John Locke is another quality reprint from Heritage Books. Publications of out-of-print antique books, as this copy is, provide researchers access to material that might not otherwise be available. In many cases, genealogy information can be found on line, but it is narrowly focused, and interpreted by the abstractor. Researching through books very often leads to insights and information beyond an online search. The softcover edition was printed in 1993 from the original by Arthur H Locke about 1900. The saga details the Locke family from the middle 17th century to the end of the 19th century. The story is organized by generations. The are several black and white photos and other illustrations within the text. This copy is perfect bound with a light gray cover with titles and reunion photograph printed in black. The text is approximately 370 pages printed on white, 5.5 x 8.5" stock and the binding is tight. There are a few highlighted or underlined passages.

From the publisher: "The first comprehensive treatment of the basic principles of missile guidance, this book considers every fundamental problem encountered in guiding a controlled missile reliably to its target. An essential background for work with missile guidance systems, for professional engineers, technical officers of the armed services, instructors and graduate students.". Missile guidance refers to a variety of methods of guiding a missile or a guided bomb to its intended target. The missile's target accuracy is a critical factor for its effectiveness. Guidance systems improve missile accuracy by improving its "Single Shot Kill Probability" (SSKP), which is part of combat survivability calculations associated with the salvo combat model. These guidance technologies can generally be divided up into a number of categories, with the broadest categories being "active," "passive" and "preset" guidance. Missiles and guided bombs generally use similar types of guidance system, the difference between the two being that missiles are powered by an onboard engine, whereas guided bombs rely on the speed and height of the launch aircraft for propulsion. The concept of missile guidance originated at least as early as World War I, with the idea of remotely guiding an airplane bomb onto a target. In World War II, guided missiles were first developed, as part of the German V-weapons program. Project Pigeon was American behaviorist B.F. Skinner's attempt to develop a pigeon-guided missile. The first U.S. ballistic missile with a highly accurate inertial guidance system was the short-range Redstone. Guidance systems are divided into different categories according to what type of target they are designed for - either fixed targets or moving targets. The weapons can be divided into two broad categories, Go-Onto-Target (GOT) and Go-Onto-Location-in-Space (GOLIS) guidance systems. A GOT missile can target either a moving or fixed target, whereas a GOLIS weapon is limited to a stationary or near-stationary target. The trajectory that a missile takes while attacking a moving target is dependent upon the movement of the target. Also, a moving target can be an immediate threat to the sender of the missile. The target needs to be eliminated in a timely fashion in order to preserve the integrity of the sender. In GOLIS systems the problem is simpler because the target is not moving.…
