Book Description
Near the end of the Apollo 15 mission, David Scott and fellow moonwalker James Irwin conducted a secret ceremony unsanctioned by NASA: they placed on the lunar soil a small tin figurine called “The Fallen Astronaut,” along with a plaque bearing a list of names. This book enriches the saga of mankind’s greatest scientific undertaking, Project Apollo, and conveys the human cost of the space race – by telling the stories of those sixteen astronauts and cosmonauts who died reaching for the moon.
Many people are aware of the Apollo launch pad disaster in which three men lost their lives, but few know of the other five fallen astronauts whose stories this book tells as well: among them, Ted Freeman and C.C. Williams, who died in the crashes of their -38 jets; the “Gemini Twins,” Charlie Bassett and Elliot See, killed when their jet slammed into the building where their Gemini capsule was undergoing final construction; and Ed Givens, whose fatal car crash has until now been obscured by rumors. The extraordinary lives and accomplishments of these and other fallen astronauts – including eight Russian cosmonauts who lost their lives during training – unfold here in intimate and compelling detail, supported by extensive interviews and archival material. Their stories return us to a stirring time in the history of our nation and remind us of the cost of fulfilling our dreams.

Fascinating reading.......2007-08-23
Another excellent book from Mr. Burgess. I especially enjoyed the great level of detail in this book. Mr. Burgess even provides the astronauts' mothers' and wives' maiden names, their childhood addresses and many obscure yet interesting facts about their early careers. It was also interesting to learn how many of the astronauts had interacted with each other in the years before they joined NASA. While you know the eventual outcome of each chapter, I still found myself hoping it would somehow turn out differently.
I had just started working for McDonnell Aircraft on Gemini 9 a few months before the crash of See and Bassett into the Gemini manufacturing building in St. Louis. This book clarified several details of the accident that had become fuzzy over the years.
The epilogue was of interest to learn how many of the relatives and colleagues have moved on.
To Charlie, whose place I took.......but where is Robert Lawrence?.......2007-07-03
I read this book about three years ago, and enjoyed learning more about Elliot See, Ted Freeman, C.C. Williams, Ed Givens, Charlie Bassett, and Roger Chaffee. I didn't know that Freeman graduated from Annapolis in the same class as Ross Perot (1953), and I didn't know that both See and Chaffee were both Eagle Scouts. See is often noted as a "civilian", but he was a Navy Reservist, and stayed that way throughout his time in the Astronaut Corps.
It was nice to learn about the Russian Cosmonauts, since I was familar with the deaths of Vladmir Komarov and the Soyuz 11 crew only. However, I was disappointed that Robert Lawrence was omitted. Lawrence was a MOL astronaut who was killed in a plane crash in October 1967. MOL was cancelled around the end of 1968. There were two other former MOL astronauts who were killed in plane crashes, but not while they were part of the Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) project.
The gravesites of Freeman, Williams, Chaffee, See, and Bassett can be found at Arlington National Cemetery. A few years ago, I found them and put flags on their graves. There's also a section of the Electrical Engineering Building at Texas Tech University named for Charlie Bassett. The library in Clear Lake is named for Ted Freeman. Colleagues of Freeman and Bassett have said that these men would most likely have had moon missions if they had not succumbed to early deaths. Buzz Aldrin dedicated his first book Return to Earth to Charlie Bassett, saying "to Charlie..whose place I took."
An Outstanding Wokr.......2006-04-01
If you grew up in the 1960s and could name every astronaut and recount the details of each Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo mission (or, if you didn't), this outstanding work is a very important milestone and accurate record that enables us to remember the sacrifices made to reach the Moon. In great detail from the impressive research conducted by the authors, this book provides very rare insights into the lives of Astronauts Freeman, See, Bassett, Grissom, White, Chaffee, Givens, Williams, and the cosmonauts from the former Soviet Union. The book also dispels some rumors with respect to the accidents that took the lives of these skilled pilots and astronauts, as many of those rumors have been reported, merely repeated, and accepted in other accounts unfortunately as facts.
Thank you for reminding us of a time when America tackled a monumental challenge, and allowing us to be more fully grateful for the lives lived and lost so that we could meet that national challenge and extend the spirit of exploration to the heavens.
WOW, the missing stories.......2006-03-11
This was an EXCELLENT book!!! A lot of things history missed,,, we know most of the Grisson, White and Chaffee story but, I knew nothing about,,, Freeman or Givens (For example). The part about the Russins was good, didnt know about them as much.
A Fitting Tribute.......2005-10-29
"Fallen Astronauts" is a long overdue book on the astronauts and cosmonauts who died during the race to the moon. Colin Burgess and Kate Doolan (with assistance from the remarkable Bert Vis in the area of the Soviet space program casualties) have written a magnificent book, which serves as both a tribute and a historical accounting of the astronauts who died in the space race. The book is full of rare facts and biographical insights which were in danger of being lost forever, but thanks to these authors and the University of Nebraska (Bison Books), they are now preserved for future space historians and enthusiasts.
The book covers all the fatalities in the US space program up through the death of C. C. Williams on 5 October 1967, plus the Soviet fatalities from the same era. Bert Vis has done extraordinary work uncovering the history of the Soviet space fatalities, which were (and to a degree still are) hidden in secrecy. The passing of Valentin Bondarenko is especially painful to recount, not only for the tragic circumstances and disturbing details of his death, but for the realization that had the USSR been more open about the hazards of working in a pressurized 100 percent oxygen atmosphere, the deaths of Grissom, White, and Chaffee might have been prevented.
This book is both detailed and concise. It provides genuine insight into these men who paid the ultimate price for space exploration, and recounts their lives and deaths with compassion, accuracy, and a sense of gratitude. The book easily deserves five stars, and I recommend it without any reservations.

Book Description
"A writer is someone who pays attention to the world," Susan Sontag said in her 2003 acceptance speech for the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, and no one exemplified this definition more than she. Sontag’s incisive intelligence, expressive brilliance, and deep curiosity about art, politics, and the writer’s responsibility to bear witness have secured her place as one of the most important thinkers and writers of the twentieth century. At the Same Time gathers sixteen essays and addresses written in the last years of Sontag’s life, when her work was being honored on the international stage, that reflect on the personally liberating nature of literature, her deepest commitment, and on political activism and resistance to injustice as an ethical duty. She considers the works of writers from the little-known Soviet novelist Leonid Tsypkin, who struggled and eventually succeeded in publishing his only book days before his death; to the greats, such as Nadine Gordimer, who enlarge our capacity for moral judgment. Sontag also fearlessly addresses the dilemmas of post-9/11 America, from the degradation of our political rhetoric to the appalling torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
At the Same Time, which includes a foreword by her son, David Rieff, is a passionate, compelling work from an American writer at the height of her powers, who always saw literature "as a passport to enter a larger life, the zone of freedom."
Customer Reviews:
Standard Sontag.......2007-04-24
Susan Sontag was one of the most insightful and intelligent essayists of the last century. Her death is a tremendous loss to American Arts and Letters. At the Same Time is a collection of postumously published essays and speeches from the last few years. The collection reads like much of her work: articulate, precise, and always intellectually and morally "serious." I particularly liked her essay on Dostoyevsky and on translation, her clarity and depth of thought are truly reminiscent of Walter Benjamin here. I found her speeches a bit dry and contrived, not the form she's most comfortable in clearly. As always, she champions a number of neglected works of literature, one Russian, one American. Additionally, you will find excellent essays on 9/11 and the horrible events that unfolded in Iraq. Sontag's indignation is appropriate and timely.
Not a collection that is likely to eclipse Against Interpretation or Under the Sign of Saturn, but definitely worthwhile for all readers.
A Unique Voice.......2007-03-16
Reading this collection of essays is an exhilarating experience for anyone who cares about the ethical value of literature, as Sontag herself would say, the "seriousness" of literature. For Sontag was nothing if not "serious". This is not to say humorless, but always fully engaged, grappling with issues that she would return to time and again if her views changed or to clarify a point.
These issues, exemplified by this sterling collection of essays, range from the political to the moral to the literary (she would probably say the latter encompasses the former two). While her outspokeness frequently won her enemies, and her bluntness can be seen at times as insensitive, she was always looking inward to create a public person that she could admire, a strenuous egotism.
Readers of this volume can find her championing writers she feels have been neglected, criticizing the United States foreign policies and most notoriously, evaluating the attacks of 9/11 in yet further clarifications of her opinions.
The loss of this woman is incalculable; even when one disagrees with her(and at some points I am sure you will) you will never fail to find her challenging you to define your own point of view. Her aphorisms expand in widening concentric circles of thought, broadening your vistas with clarity and compassion.

Book Description
One of the founders of the human-potential movement shows how the millennial passage portends a new birth of humanity--a unique "jump time" in both global and individual consciousness.
In Jump Time, bestselling author and scholar Dr. Jean Houston explains how a series of concrete, identifiable elements have been building over the previous generation and how they point to a quantum leap forward for each of us. Her powerful book shows how humanity is on the brink of this leap and that every individual can participate.
Among the areas Dr. Houston explores are:
The shift in human nature that is moving people to discover and use dormant or little-known capacities.
How the breakthroughs in technological connection and the new ways of being in community in global society are repatterning human consciousness.
How a dramatic new awareness of our shared and intermingled ecology, culture, economy, and ethnicity are creating a different kind of human being for the twenty-first century.
How the uprising of spiritual yearning and cross-fertilization of the wisdom and practices of world spiritual tradition are newly uniting us to one another as well as to the universe.
Jump Time is the culmination of Dr. Houston's work as a psychologist and cultural anthropologist for a generation. It is the ultimate statement of the revolution in human potential and a crowning achievement from one of today's most dramatic and adventurous social thinkers.
Customer Reviews:
I was hoping for something different.......2007-05-03
It's clear that this writer has a lot of enthusiasm for her subject material. However, as I read this book what I was really struck by was how much what she discussed focused on theory, with little application of practical techniques that could incorporate her concepts into a person's life.
I think she has some brilliant ideas, but I would've liked to have seen those concepts followed through on in a manner that went deeper than just a presentation of theory.
Too few of us ever equal Sister Jean to envision the furture.......2005-11-03
From a knowledge of Archimedes the Evolutionary Lever to Satchel and Shining Morning Face, to Here's Looking at You Kid... Sister Jean runs with philosophers, body morphing, into movies, even to Wok and Roll!
Her introduction to contemporary dilemma is a quotation from Aldous Huxley: "Science is not enough, religion is not enough, art is not enuf, politics and economics are not enuf...nor is love, duty, action, however disinterested, nor sublime is contemplation." She lands upon her friend Francine, who is into body morphing for altered nose, lips, hips, hair, etc. arrives at Grand Central Station to get Jean's help with altering her inner spiritual life! Her full answer includes Gandhi, Francis of Assisi, Deganawidah, Iroquois and Irene the Greek archetype of peace.
Just like she focuses upon metaphors as sunset and sunrise, Jean contrasts sunset as retreat into bad habits; sunrise as the more unpredictabe intense light illumining dark shadows. Then to true Peacemakers as willing to encounter the worst within us! "From time immemorial the We Are realm contains the energies, of arche-typal stories and myths. She names doors of entry into JUMP TIME metaphors drawn from science and spiritual technologies of diff cultures. Sister Jean has boundless energy for "relationship to the We Are realm in an ever changing discovery that previously were thought to be beyond our scope."
Suffice for me is her culmination of Chap Four..."Here's Looking At You Kid." She uses movie texts from Casablanca, ++ songs of the Gershwins, to draw out her self-evolving, deeper eidetic images that few other psychologists dare not touch...Earlier she experienced in her encounter with Fritz Perls! Sing-cerely with the Dance, Retired Chaplain Fred W Hood
A Powerful Perspective Into Tomorrow.......2005-10-05
Jean Houston's book is a powerful look into the future based on real personalities and events and communities that have -for countless years- shaped positive and creative thought and made quantum leaps in offering a more liveable and possibly more peaceful planet. JUMP TIME is a wonderful read about a world that we could embrace and not just imagine. It gives me hope amid the madness transfixing the global community today between wars, genocide, starvation, hate crimes and a myriad of other atrocities within the human community. She has planted the seeds of a new humanity and I find myself wanted very much to join the team.
FOR A WORLD WE COULDNýT HAVE IMAGINED.......2001-11-07
I've never felt more urgently the need to understand what is happening in this upside down world, and no book I've found addresses that need more profoundly than JUMP TIME.
Recognizing the perils of the day while emphasizing the possibilities, JUMP TIME is engaging from cover to cover, with a wonderful blend of the humorous, poignant, and inspiring. Mostly, it is brilliant. I kept thinking, "Why don't today's world leaders know this stuff!" Actually, I've heard that Dr. Houston is now regularly called in to work with the U.N., so that is heartening. This is a book to read if you want to understand what is unfolding in this amazing time in human history. I'll close with a passage from the book:
"The electronic nervous system of the global village has resulted in a spreading and sharing of the images and archetypes of societies radically different from each other in geography, history, and ethnicity. Myths and stories cooked in climates vastly different from ours are becoming the materials of our everyday consciousness. The rebirth of images and their cross-fertilization through media and travel spurs us to rethink the archetypal possibilities of our human selves, now expanded to include all present knowledge and all previous visions of tribe, race, and social class."
THE EXPERIMENT OF A LIFETIME : JUMP IN !.......2001-10-26
I floated an experiment with this book. You know the sort of assay: let the book fall open and follow your gaze to a line, any line. As a personal venture, such experiment, homely and amateur, has, over time, yielded me an efficient, effective test of a writing's worth. In the present case, the line from Jump Time that caught my gaze referenced the Iroquois "Ceremony of Condolence." The ceremony is, at once, a mystical practice and a practical device which affords immediate succor and, in the long-term, transforms grief into life-affirming perspective.
Any book worth your time will afford such affirmation. It will transport you even as it grounds you, affirms the richness of the "every day." As with the single line from the "Ceremony of Condolence," the whole of Houston's Jump Time achieves a delicate balance between the transcendent and the quotidien. The book rewards the investment of your time. Why? On any page, you will find Houston's signature blend of the numinous and the no-nonsense: blueprints for education (with real-time examples); "a harvest of spiritual practices" (leave the paltry single crop to Fundamentalists); a model for international peace-making (underscored by the author's solid diplomatic work) which is downright prescient in its aptness for our era; finally, a privileged glimpse into our own interior riches, our "entelechy." Ultimately, then, the signature blend is the keenest of provocations. Houston's anecdotes and antidotes provoke because the blend is packed into the loaded stuff of Jump Time.
Houston takes care not to restrict the definition of Jump Time. With mastery, she draws with a broad metaphysical brush. She variously defines the phenomenon as "radical change" and the "time of the parenthesis" (whet your appetite?) Nevertheless, she astutely avoids force-feeding her reader with a facile, definitive take. Ultimately, we all know, instinctively, what Jump Time is (if you don't, turn on CNN), and Houston knows, respects that fact --in spades. She is here, at our private altar of the arm chair, to evoke and provoke -- to enrich the intimations we already possess deep in our psyches --collective and singular.
Among the many joys peppering Jump Time, the reader will experience Jean Houston as an exuberant, proximate, compassionate narrator. Forget disaffected cynicism. This book is Jean Houston, plain and not-so-simple; not so simple because Houston has a preternatural knack for gifting us with the complex while sheltering us from the dogmatic.
In the final analysis, Jump Time were better dubbed Jump Timely. Prescient and topical, the tome is a lifeline in a world where all bets are off. In this new world, this post-September 11 realm, we are, as nations and individuals, struggling to quell our fears, define our next steps. Our spirits falter under the weight of our leaders' well-intentioned but wan rhetoric -- rhetoric that, with another major wave of terrorism, may go the way of bankrupt metaphor.
In this mind-numbing hour when, as Houston reminds us, "affairs are soul-size," Jump Time appears as a manual for meaning, as primer for the "New Mind" that is a prerequisite to personal and global survival.
Do yourself a cosmic favor: buy the book, try the experiment. It is the experiment of a lifetime.

Book Description
Safety critical and high-integrity systems, such as industrial plants and economic systems can be subject to abrupt changes - for instance due to component or interconnection failure, and sudden environment changes etc.
Combining probability and operator theory,
Discrete-Time Markov Jump Linear Systems provides a unified and rigorous treatment of recent results for the control theory of discrete jump linear systems, which are used in these areas of application.
The book is designed for experts in linear systems with Markov jump parameters, but is also of interest for specialists in stochastic control since it presents stochastic control problems for which an explicit solution is possible - making the book suitable for course use.
From the reviews:
"This text is very well written...it may prove valuable to those who work in the area, are at home with its mathematics, and are interested in stability of linear systems, optimal control, and filtering."
