Whilst most contemporary books in the aerospace propulsion field are dedicated primarily to gas turbine engines, there is often little or no coverage of other propulsion systems and devices such as propeller and helicopter rotors or detailed attention to rocket engines. By taking a wider viewpoint, Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion aims to provide a broader context, allowing observations and comparisons to be made across systems that are overlooked by focusing on a single aspect alone. The physics and history of aerospace propulsion are built on step-by-step, coupled with the development of an appreciation for the mathematics involved in the science and engineering of propulsion. Combining the author’s experience as a researcher, an industry professional and a lecturer in graduate and undergraduate aerospace engineering, Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion covers its subject matter both theoretically and with an awareness of the practicalities of the industry. To ensure that the content is clear, representative but also interesting the text is complimented by a range of relevant graphs and photographs including representative engineering, in addition to several propeller performance charts. These items provide excellent reference and support materials for graduate and undergraduate projects and exercises.Students in the field of aerospace engineering will find that Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion supports their studies from the introductory stage and throughout more intensive follow-on studies.

Why Various Canadian Institutions Royally Suck - A Politically Incorrect Tale in 6 Woeful Parts is a compelling historical and political narrative by David Greatrix, author of Farewell to the Good Old Days. Greatrix brings us along on his journey through the history of Canada, with his primary focus from the 1960s to the present. With a comedic touch and various shades of humor, he combines Canadian history with his personal experiences as a Canadian. As the book's title indicates, he ties his occasionally biting irreverent commentary to six Canadian institutions: the mainstream media in Canada, Ryerson University in Toronto, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council in Ottawa, the Canadian Aeronautics & Space Institute in Ottawa, the left-leaning Canadian political parties, and finally, Canada's justice system. Sometimes dark, sometimes poignant, sometimes hopeful, Greatrix does not pull his punches as he peels back the curtain. A must read for any Canadian who has been wondering about the direction Canada has been going these last few decades.
