By Walter F. Laredo
From the beginning, man has been an alert observer of his surroundings, always trying to understand the mysteries of nature. He became first a toolmaker then created primitive weapons necessary for his survival in an unforgiving world. Man kept evolving and developing his skills through the millennia, until in these modern times contemporary civilized man began creating great works of engineering. In the second half of the 20th century, the field of engineering, especially the field of aerospace engineering, evolved to such extent that man was able to create complex projects and programs that it made possible to put man on the moon, and also to send robots to Mars. Hopefully, man's creativity will continue to advance, performing still greater engineering tasks through the 21st century. Preliminary Designs of real engineering projects are depicted throughout this book. Extensive technical and scientific research was performed by the author prior to starting the design and the development of each of the projects. During years of engineering work, the author gained extensive experience, enabling him to develop complex projects. The result has been the development of the engineering projects shown here. This is a factual book which strictly focuses on preliminary designs of authentic advanced engineering projects whose conceptualization and development conform to the natural laws of physics and to the latest state-of-the-art technologies. The table of contents shows a list of blueprints with highly detailed drawings. Shows designs for 16 engineering projects which includes various types of Aircraft, Space vehicles, Space shuttles, a Mach8 Aerospace airplane, Aerodynamic trains, super-giant working robots, an artificial hearth for its permanent implantation in the human body, a beautiful multimillion dollar mansion of classical architectural design and many more of sophisticated engineering projects.

By scott Burton
Author Burton says, "How do you measure success? Money? Power? Satisfaction with a job well done? Dreams fulfilled?" It wasn't 'til my later years that I really realized how lucky I was to have spent my lifetime being involved from the beginning in one of the greatest feats of all time. Somehow I had to get it all down on paper - the comradery, the pressure, and challenges of a lifetime. All of it was there, rolling around in my head! I invite you to share in some of these memoirs from a 40 year career in Aerospace Engineering. I have described my assignments on various programs from the Matador guided missile to large rockets for space vehicle boosters including the Space Shuttle and large satelllite boosters. Many anecdotes are included to provide some intimate details of the thinking and philosophy. About 100 of my associates are described as they became a part of my life, including their personalities, eccentricities and attributes. It is notable that the book is about, and a tribute to, the working men and women who propelled us From Behind Sandbags to the moon and back, and on to a continuous presence in space. The book is a unique non-technical writing about a technical subject by reflecting on the human aspects of the times."
