During my 30-plus years of teaching orbital mechanics in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University, I carefully developed the material I taught. I intended to cover the introductory topics that were essential for aerospace engineering students. The material I developed during my teaching career is now offered in Orbital Mechanics: The Essentials. I believe it's presented in a simplified yet thorough manner, which facilitates understanding for students as well as working professionals. The topics are covered on a comprehensive level that also provides a solid background for students in other fields of engineering and science who might be interested in learning orbital mechanics. My description of the topics assumes readers have an introductory knowledge of differential and integral calculus and differential equations. However, individuals without such a background can still benefit from this textbook. Orbital Mechanics: The Essentials is an in-depth discussion of the two-body problem and includes an introduction to satellite perturbations. It contains hundreds of problems designed to improve student understanding. Special effort was taken to select problems that demonstrate applications of the concepts covered. The problems were taken from homework and examinations that thousands of Auburn aerospace engineering students worked during their time in my classes. As an engineering professor, my primary goal was to simplify difficult technical concepts so all students could understand them. For that reason, Orbital Mechanics: The Essentials is organized in a module-based learning format, where each module only covers a few important concepts without a multitude of derivations and mathematical proofs. Each module also includes several example problems with solutions and a larger selection of problems with answers, which are appropriate for homework assignments or in-class exercises. The material in this textbook is presented in more of an outline/powerpoint type of display rather than in wordy and overly detailed descriptions many books include. I've found much of the information in standard textbooks is too complex and overwhelming to undergraduate students, which discourages rather than motivates them. It's my belief that if students learn the fundamentals there are many reference books available from which they can expand their knowledge base about any specific topic. Orbital mechanics is not easy, but it's been my goal to make it enjoyably simple once the basic laws are understood. To do so, I've attempted to present the difficult concepts as clearly as possible to facilitate that understanding. I hope all who use this textbook find it understandable and useful. I guarantee that those working through it will learn a tremendous amount about orbital mechanics.

Sha'iry - priests of the dark god, Sutekh - are taking over Parlatheas, kingdom by kingdom. Those who resist them have fallen to plague, civil war, and invasion. In this dark hour, it seems all hope is lost... Roger Vaughn, thief and spy in service to the Highlord of Gallowen, has one task: steal back the country of Carolingias. To do so, he must help the few remaining Knights of Carolingias find someone both the nobility and peasantry will follow: a Battenberg heir to the throne. Sole survivor of an attack against the royal family by the infamous dærganfae assassin known as The Archer, Ambrose Battenberg lives in fear. Hiding among the peasant rebels of Carolingias, she has learned some hard lessons about life and survival. Only with Camber, the rebel leader, does she feel safe - until Roger Vaughn uncovers her identity, thrusting Ambrose into the center of the plot to reclaim Carolingias and into The Archer's sights. It will take all of Roger's wits - along with some help from the Highlord, a jaded pirate captain, and an idealistic paladin - to save Ambrose and Carolingias. Their quest will lead them into a world unlike anything they ever imagined: 1969 Charleston, SC. Will Roger and his companions complete their mission, or be trapped in Terra forever?

Venetian front, 1915. The Austro-Hungarian army has taken control of key mountain locations facing the plains. The Fassa Alps are well guarded, and heavy casualties are expected. Mount Collo and Mount Saint Osvaldo are excellent launch points for an all-out offensive which is already in the works behind the grim vista of the Glockenthurm. The Italian High Command is paralyzed by outdated methodology, wasting precious time with failed assaults and flanking maneuvers that end with red snow. Men watch from their trenches, hiding along the parapets with their guns pointing at no man's land, and the tension in the Italian lines has taken the form of a grim silence, as if the men already know their doom is approaching and wish only for it to envelop them quickly. Colonel Baseggio of the Italian Royal Army, a veteran of many mountain engagements in Africa, creates a new section, based not on doctrinal tactics, but on intrepid actions which he calls "Ardite." Assembled with volunteers drawn from the entire Italian Royal Army, his hastily trained company strikes deep into Austro-Hungarian lines, shocking the world with their courage and daring, often carrying the day with little more than knives and grenades. In the mud and snow of the Carso mountains, the "Arditi Company Cristoforo Baseggio"-the first of the famed Arditi formations-grows to carry the name of The Death Company. This first hand historical account details one of the most fascinating military phenomena of the Great War. Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present Cristoforo Baseggio's The Death Company, for the first time in English, to preserve and expand access to the story of these extraordinary men.

A book for ALL AGES - 4 to 104! Poetry, song, poetic prose & humor abound. This is the black & white paperback version of Ellen Palestrant's unique and beautiful coffee table book, The World of Glimpse, where art, literature and theater combine. THE WORLD OF GLIMPSE is a fantasy realm of contagious rhythms and luminous color. Because Glimpse, the world of the Glimpsibles, is a world of creativity, and Sooma Sooma, the world of the Dreaded Drooma, is one of destructivity, the two worlds collide. Glimpse needs a seventh Glimpsible Spark to complete its color-tight alliance and prevent the Drooma, those begrudging, color-sucking, spectroscopic parasites, from destroying their world. Glimpse is a unique fantasy world which reflects both our own individual strengths & foibles. It also mirrors the world in which we live, the magnificence we need to preserve and the negativity we must address & counteract. A thought-provoking trip into fantasy, philosophy, and wonder. This book has a Glossary called a Glimpsary.
