NOtes. Abbreviations. From Wikipedia: "David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct. Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile which he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his… Ler mais

She took her name from Crown Prince Wilhelm, son of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, and was a sister ship of the SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. She had a varied career, starting off as a world-record-holding passenger liner, then becoming an auxiliary warship from 1914 1915 for the Imperial German Navy, sailing as a commerce raider for a year, and then interned in the United States when she ran out of supplies. When the U.S. entered World War I, she was seized and served as a United States Navy troop transport until she was… Ler mais

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1999. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Pamphlet/Booklet. Very good. Andrea Gaskey (Illustrator) and Gary Warren (Photo. 20 pages plus covers. Illustrations (color). Diagrams. Definitions. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility (DARHT) is a facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory which is part of the Department of Energy's stockpile stewardship program. It uses two large X-ray machines to record three-dimensional interior images of materials. In most experiments, materials undergo hydrodynamic shock to simulate the implosion process in nuclear bombs and/or the effects of severe hydrodynamic stress. The tests are described as "full-scale mockups of the events that trigger the nuclear detonation". The powerful pulsed X-ray beams allow for an ultra-fast motion picture to be constructed showing the details of the process being studied in three dimensions. The tests are often… Ler mais

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2008. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Very good.. Montoya, Donald (Graphic Design). 12 pages, plus covers. Includes: illustrations, diagrams. Most illustrations in color. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Report number LA-UR-08-04937. DARHT stands for Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test. It is a major above ground experimental facility developed as part of the science foundation needed to enable the United States to continue certifying its nuclear weapons without underground nuclear weapons testing. During a weapon's triggering phase, explosive charges are detonated. The result is a shock wave (implosion), compressing the fuel to higher density. Implosion ends when the fuel reaches a supercritical density, the density at which nuclear reactions build up an uncontainable amount of energy, which is then released in a massive explosion. To make the mockup non-nuclear, a heavy metal surrogate (such as depleted uranium) stands… Ler mais
