Download or read book Polaris written by Keith Hall and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 15 June 1968 and 13 May 1996, the Polaris submarines of the 10th Submarine Squadron carried out a total of 229 patrols, travelling over 2 million miles. Wherever you sit on the nuclear debate, it makes an impressive tale; delivered on time and on budget essentially by a small group of naval officers and civil servants, the Polaris programme ensured that Britain had a Continuous at Sea Deterrence for twenty-eight years. Polaris is not just the history of the weapons, submarines and politicians: it is the history of those who were there. Combining through history with personal memories and photographs, Keith Hall has created a long-lasting legacy to a fascinating project and provided an insight into a world that no longer exists.

Download or read book Polaris the Bear written by Joey Uliana and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polaris is an adventurous story based on an extremely smart, yet clumsy, polar bear that is bred in captivity and whose curiosity goes beyond the walls of the zoo. When the answers given to him become short of his expectations, he decides to escape his perfect enclosed environment to explore the world by himself. Polaris will inspire young readers by prompting them to refuel life by learning something new every day. Another idea that is highly cultivated in this book is the importance of everlasting friends. It illustrates how a true friend will help you when the ground shakes under your feet (or paws), and will motivate you to fly higher when the world gives you wings. There are lessons in science and geography integrated with the story, and they are so surrounded by animation that children will learn while having fun. If you want to give a young reader one book to encourage his or her taste for reading, traveling and learning, Polaris is certainly the best choice.

Download or read book From Polaris to Trident written by Graham Spinardi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a complete history of the US Fleet Ballistic Missile programme from its inception in the 1950s and the development of Polaris to the deployment of Trident II in 1990. Writing in an accessible yet scholarly manner, Graham Spinardi bases his historical documentation of FBM development on interviews with many of the key participants. His study confronts a central issue: is technology simply a tool used to achieve the goals of society, or is it an autonomous force in shaping that society? FBM accuracy evolved from the city-busting retaliatory capability of Polaris to the silo-busting 'first strike' potential of Trident. Is this a case of technology 'driving' the arms race, or simply the intended product of political decisions? The book provides a comprehensive survey of the literature looking at the role of technology in the arms race, and seeks to explain technological development using a 'sociology of technology' approach.
