Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover. 4to. The Limited Editions Club, New York. 1982. Illustrated with Black and White Plates. Number 1602 out of 2000 signed limited copies. Slipcase with light shelf-wear present. Bound in cloth boards. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text… is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Eugene O'Neill mined the tragedies of his own life for this depiction of a seedy, skid row saloon in 1912, peopled by society's failures: worn-out anarchists, failed con artists, drifters, whores, pimps, and informers. The pipe-dreaming drunks of Harry Hope's bar numb themselves with rotgut gin and make grandiose plans, while waiting for the annual appearance of the big-spending, fast-talking salesman, Hickey. But this year's visit fails to bring the expected good times, as a changed Hickey tries to rouse the barflies from their soothing stupor with a proselytizing message of salvation through self-knowledge. Considered by many to be the Nobel Prize-winning playwright's finest work, The Iceman Cometh exposes the human need for illusion as an antidote to despair. E-153; 4to 11" - 13" tall.

Index. Soiling inside the rear cover and on the last page. RARE title in this series. Leonard Jaffe was a U.S. space program enginee…r. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Jaffe served in the U.S. Navy (1944-46). He joined what later became the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as research engineer (1948), was the chief of the Data Systems Branch (1955), chief of communications satellites (1959), and director of the communication and navigation satellite programs of the Office of Space Science and Applications Satellites from 1963. When Jaffe was Deputy Associate Administrator for Space Applications, his office was responsible for all NASA Space Applications Satellite Projects. In 1979 he headed the technical team of the President's Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island. In 1981, he joined the Computer Sciences Corp. as vice president for product management and quality assurance and later became president of their Systems Division. From 1994 to 2001, he was president and chief operating officer of the Earth Sciences Corp. He was president of the International Astronautics Federation in 1975 and 1976 and a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the American Astronautical Society (AAS), and the Society of Space Professionals International (SSPI). He received numerous awards from these organizations as well as from the U.S. government. Cover features artistic non-concentric image of white rings w/several splotches of green and red; also, the Holt owl in orbiting space rings emblem. Pages near fine; no writing. Bind fine. Illustrated throughout with rare and intriguing diagrams, charts, maps, imagery of space before computer graphics by Versatron Corporation. This rarity offers a concise and fascinating record of the progress in the early communications satellites: SCORE, COURIER, ECHO, WET FORD, RELAY, TELSTAR, and SYNCOM. Jaffe explains the requirements for communications satellites, the advantages and disadvantages of proposed systems, suitable orbits, and techniques for achieving these orbits. Mr. Jaffe provides an introduction to orbital mechanics and a discussion of some technical parameters. He examines potential sources of space power for satellites and provides a foundation for conjecture on the future of man-made earth satellites. To round out this excellent treatment of this exciting phase of space technology, Mr. Jaffe outlines the federal legislation creating the Communications Satellite Corporation - a new kind of private enterprise that operates commercial communications satellites. Leonard Jaffe was the Director of Communication and Navigation Programs in the Office of Space Science and Applications of NASA. Since 1958 he was in charge of NASA satellite activities. He served as Chairman of the NASA International Ground Station Committee of eleven nations. He was awarded the Arthur Flemming Award for 1964 as one of ten outstanding young men in the Federal Service. Versatron Corporation (Original drawings) (illustrator).
