Stamped several times in red ink to blank preliminary pages "Electrical Engineering Dept." A groundbreaking work applying principles of Norbert Wiener's "Cybernetics" (as acknowledged in the Preface) to problems of engineering, particula…rly aeronautics. Tsien was one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. As he had been providing Chinese Communist contacts with technical information, he was stripped of his security clearance In 1950. After spending five years under virtual house arrest, Tsien was exchanged in 1955 for American pilots captured during the Korean War. He returned to lead the Chinese rocket program, and became known as the "King of Chinese Rocketry.") His nephew was Roger Y. Tsien, winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. 289 pp. including Index. Reduced from $427.
