Prepared by Caroline Minuscule for The Isaac Asimov Project The Thunder Child SF & Fantasy Webzine To be used for research, reference and review First edition: October 29, 2008 The twenty two books in the F & SF series indexed here: Title Code Version 1. Fact and Fancy (1962) FF PB 2. View from a Height (1963) VH HB 3. Adding a Dimension (1964) AD PB 4. Of Time, Space & Other Things (1965) TS PB 5. From Earth to Heaven (1966) EH PB 6. Science, Numbers and I (1968) SN PB 7. The Solar System and Back (1970) SS PB 8. The Stars in Their Courses (1971) SC PB 9. Left Hand of the Electron (1972) LE PB 10. The Tragedy of the Moon (1973) TM PB 11. Of Matters Great & Small (1975) GS PB 12. The Planet That Wasn't (1976) PW HB 13. Quasar, Quasar, Burning Bright (1977) QQ HB 14.

Far as Human Eye Could See (1987) HE HB 20. The Relativity of Wrong (1988) RW HB 21. Out of The Everywhere (1990) OE PB 22. The Secret of The Universe (1990) SU HB Repackaging: Asimov on Astronomy Asimov on Chemistry Asimov on Physics Asimov on Numbers Asimov on Science These are compiled from essays previously published in the above books. Therefore, we do not index them here. A is for Asimov: Part of the Asimov Project thethunderchild.com Caveats Edition We have compiled this index from a mixture of paperbacks and hardbacks (Code, PB or HB). If you do not have the same version that we used in the index, you are not out of luck, because our index lists the essay in which the name occurs, as well as the page number. Thus, the first two listings for Brahe, Tycho are: FF: 8-97; 13-158 SC: 3-38 FF = Fact and Fancy. 8-97 means he appears in the 8 th essay (which will remain the same regardless of edition) and 97 is the page number. He is also mentioned by Asimov in the 13 th essay (regardless of edition) on page 158. SC = The Stars in Their Courses, and Asimov mentions Brahe in the third essay in that book (regardless of edition), on page 38. Therefore, even if you don't have the same edition, a quick browsing through the essay in question will find the name. Family Asimov's mentions of his family in various essays are not included in this index. Friends of his, such as science fiction writers, are included. (In a couple of essays where Asimov discusses names from the Bible, these also aren't mentioned.) Alphabetizing Conventions Because of the vast number of people whose names end in De, we've placed their names under the patronym. Thus, you'll find Hernan de Soto under Soto, Hernan de. L. Sprague de Camp is under Camp, L. Sprague de. However, other, less numerous names, like "del" are filed under del. Thus, Lester del Rey is under "del Rey, Lester." Birth and death dates: Where possible, birth and death dates are given. (1924 – ): Means the person is still alive at the time of publication of this index (1924 – ?) or (? - 1924): means that one of two chronological numbers isn't known. (? – ?): Means: who knows?

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

The principal point of this program was a detailed scientific analysis of the orbital and surface experiments data derived from Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. One of the requirements of this program was the production of detailed photo base maps at a useable scale. NASA in conjunction with the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) commenced a mapping program in early 1973 that would lead to the production of the necessary maps based on the need for certain areas. This paper is designed to present in outline form the neces- sary background informatiox or users to become familiar with the program. MAP FORMAT * The scale chosen for the project was 1:250,000 . The re- search being done required a scale that Principal Investigators (PI'S) using orbital photography could use, but would also serve PI'S doing surface photographic investigations. Each map sheet covers an area four degrees north/south by five degrees east/west.
