Edition: Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged
Published By: Constable & Co.
St Mary's Books is proud to present this 1913 second (revised and enlarged) edition of "The Resistance of the Air and Aviation: Experiments Conducted at the Champ-de-Mars Laboratory" by Gustave Eiffel, of Eiffel Tower fame. Bound in burgundy cloth with gold gilt lettering to the spine, this hardback book contains i-xvi and 242 pages of text, with several fold-out graphs to the back of the book. Within the pages of this book, the reader is treated to Gustave Eiffel's pioneering contributions to the field of Aerodynamics, here in an enlarged format so the reader can fully appreciate the numberous graphs and equations. This copy is in good condition - there is some bumping to the edges, the cloth on the spine is faded, and there is some minor foxing to the prelims pages - however, the interior text nevertheless remains bright, clean and readable. "The Resistance of the Air and Aviation" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any aviation enthusiast.
