Focusing on the Galileo Mission, the story will relate this remarkable spacecraft's protracted gestation and the ordeal of its long haul out to Jupiter and its ultimate triumph: 5 years exploration within the Jovian system. The story spans a full quarter of a century, drawing on the press conferences, technical papers and essays of engineers and scientists involved in the mission which provide a real sense of participation as the discoveries poured in - it will bring the mission of the Galileo spacecraft to life and provide a more engaging account than would simply be achieved by recounting scientific results. The book will conclude with a snapshot "look ahead" into the Cassini flyby of Jupiter in December 2000 shortly after publication - the book released to coincide with this media event.

The success of Pioneer 11 in repeating an encounter with the giant planet Jupiter and producing unique images of the north polar regions of the planet necessitated an updating of [the previous edition] SP-349. Additional material has been added to the descriptive material about the flight of the spacecraft in Chapter 5. The following chapter, describing the results of the two missions, has been completely updated in the light of further interpretations of the Pioneer 10 data coupled with the new data from Pioneer 11. And additional Chapter 9 has been added to provide a selection of the better images obtained by Pioneer 11. This chapter also includes images of the four Galilean satellites.

With the increasing sensitivity of the equipment available to the home astronomer, and increasing interest in celestial bodies, this Springer series is a huge helping hand to skywatchers who want to hone their skills. Astronomers' observing guides provide up-to-date information for amateur astronomers who want to know all about what it is they are observing. This is the basis of the first part of the book. The second part details observation techniques for practical astronomers, working with a range of different instruments. The book reviews the latest findings and satellite observations of Jupiter, as well as presenting superb pictures of Jupiter taken by McAnally himself, who proceeds to explain to the reader how to arrive at such beautiful results.

The celebrated author continues his Space Odyssey with this Hugo Award winner: “A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001” (Carl Sagan). In 1968, Arthur C. Clarke’s bestselling 2001: A Space Odyssey captivated the world and was adapted into the classic film by Stanley Kubrick. Fourteen years later, fans and critics were thrilled by the release of 2010: Odyssey Two. Nine years after the ill-fated Discovery One mission to Jupiter, a joint Soviet-American crew travels to the planet to investigate the mysterious monolith orbiting the planet, the cause of the earlier mission’s failure—and what became of astronaut David Bowman. The crew includes project expert Heywood Floyd, and Dr. Chandra, the creator of HAL 9000. What they discover is an unsettling alien conspiracy tampering with the evolution of life on Jupiter’s moons as well as that of humanity itself. Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman—the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith—streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . . “Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play.” —Time “2010 is easily Clarke’s best book in over a decade.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune

There are certain human enterprises that seem, from the very beginning, to be touched with a certain elan that distinguishes them from others. Those of us who have had the pleasure to be associated with the Pioneer project have long felt that it belongs in this group. There is about Pioneer 10 and 11 a simplicity in concept and an elegance in design and execution that clearly transcends the ordinary. These Pioneer spacecraft are unique: Pioneer 10 is the first spacecraft to fly beyond the orbit of Mars and through the Asteroid belt, it made the first series of "in situ" measurements of Jupiter's environment, it provided the first close-up pictures of the giant planet and finally, Pioneer 10 is the first man-made object to leave the solar system. Pioneer 11 is the first spacecraft to fly to the ringed planet Saturn. In spite of the essential simplicity of the Pioneer spacecraft, highly sophisticated scientific experiments were performed. The first direct measurements of Jupiter's magnetic field and of the charged particles trapped in the field were performed. A thermal map of Jupiter was obtained and information about the composition of the planet's upper atmosphere was secured. The trajectory of Pioneer 10 was such that the spacecraft was occulted by the satellite lo which provided the first direct evidence of the very tenuous atmosphere that surrounds lo by observing the direct alteration of the telemetry signal carrier wave. The trajectory of Pioneer 11 provided the first pictures of the polar regions of the giant planet. These results, as well as many others, are explained in more detail in this volume. It would be a mistake to dwell only on the scientific results of these Pioneers without mentioning the engineering achievements. Both spacecraft have transmitted information over telemetry links for distances that are by now almost an order of magnitude larger than those transmitted by any previous spacecraft. The radioisotope thermoelectric power supplies aboard Pioneer are more efficient and longer lasting than previous designs. Finally, the integration and the management of the large number of diverse experiments was an important engineering achievement. This Pioneer project proved that a complex and sophisticated planetary exploration mission can be carried out at a relatively moderate cost. It is likely that the management of future planetary missions will follow some of the methods that were developed by the Pioneer project. This is especially important in view of the fact that funds for exploration projects of this kind are likely to become much harder to obtain in the coming years. In spite of the obvious importance of the scientific results, the engineering achievements and the management techniques, the meaning of Pioneer transcends them in importance. The Pioneer mission to the outer planets is a symbol of human aspirations. To reach out, to explore, to satisfy the curiosity, that is what is really important. Pioneer proves once again that we can move in the right direction and that real achievements are possible.

"A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001." *Carl Sagan Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft *to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong . . . and what became of Commander Dave Bowman. Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter.

This textbook considers the methods used by governments to change the economic and social framework within which agricultural production takes place: by influencing the prices of farm inputs and outputs, by modifying agricultural institutions, and by promoting new technologies in agriculture. The book is organised around a central set of eight policy chapters, covering topics of price policy, marketing policy, input policy, credit policy, mechanisation policy, land reform policy, research policy and irrigation policy. These chapters are preceded by material covering the nature of policy, in the context of the market versus state debate, and the principles used by economists to undertake agricultural policy analysis. They are followed by chapters that examine the status of women in agricultural policy, and that summarise aspects of food policy not covered in the main chapters. This book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses related to agricultural policy, agricultural economics, or rural development in developing countries. It will also be accessible to the non-specialist reader who wishes to obtain an overview of the individual policy topics covered.
