Aggiungi al carrelloHard Cover. Condizione: Fine. Near Fine. First American Edition. Hardcover, quarto, 128pp. First American edition - this was first published as "Book of the Supernatural" (London: W. Foulsham, 1979). In publisher's mustard-colored boards, having a black cloth spine with gold lettering. Decorative dust jacket in brown and gold de…picting a gothic door with an "M.R. James" nameplate. CONDITION: Fine book in Near Fine dust jacket, which is not price-clipped, but has some surface scratches. ** An interesting collection of ghost stories and short pieces about their history. Includes a preface by Sir John Betjeman, the British Poet Laureate from 1972 to 1984, ghost stories from M.R. James and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, and an introduction by the well-known horror story compiler, Peter Haining. ** M.R. James told his ghost stories on Christmas Eve to members of the "Chit Chat Club" at King's College, Cambridge. The first such gathering in 1893 was so well received that he was invited to repeat the performance every year on Christmas Eve. The tales are well-wrought "Victorian" ghost stories with old-fashioned notions of evil spirits, dire forebodings etc - one imagines them being told by candlelight with the narrator's back to an open fireplace, and a winter storm rattling the window panes. After a few years keeping this tradition, his friends persuaded him to publish those stories, which became his first and most famous collection, "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" (1904).(AJ). James McBryde; Gilbert James; M. Fitzgerald; John Mackay; George Cruickshank; Charles De Mornay (illustratore). Book.

Ex-Naval Research Library, surplused, with usual library markings. Meeting sponsored by SPIE, National Research Council of Canada, Universite Laval, and Defence Research Establish…ment Valcartier. The meeting had the following sessions: Component Development I and II, Theory and Experiment, Laser Radar Applications I and II. It includes an Addendum and an Author Index. There were several papers presented by NASA researchers, on topics such as Laser Docking System Radar Flight Experiment, Amplitude modulated laser system, and Lidar technology experiment from space shuttle. Various papers on laser radar technology and applications are presented. The topics considered include: eye-safe solid lasers for lidar applications, practical DF laser for ranging applications, ultrafast surface barrier photodetectors, performance analyses for peak-detecting laser radars, multiple scattering for laser beams propagating in a layered atmosphere, laser radar cross section of objects immersed in the earth's atmosphere, measurements of pulse coherence in mode-locked TEA-CO2 lasers, and single longitudinal mode operation of a continuously tunable high pressure TE-CO2. Also discussed are: amplitude-modulated laser system for distance and displacement measurement, minilaser rangefinder, laser docking system radar flight experiment, improved optical resonator for laser radars, design of frequency-stable TEA-CO2 lasers, HgCdTe photodiodes for heterodyne applications, acoustooptic spectrum analyzer for laser radar applications, laser cloud mapper and its applications, scanning lidar bathymeter for water depth measurement, and fluorescence lidar for land and sea remote sensing.
