Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The US brought back more than 1,500 German scientists and engineers after World War II, many of whom were responsible for developing the V-2 rocket. One of these scientists was Magnus von Braun, who was responsible for developing the V-2 rocket. He claimed that his brother Wernher was the inventor of the V-2 bomb. #2 To understand von Braun and his willingness to work on a weapon of mass destruction like the V-2 rocket, it must be understood that he simply saw the Nazi ballistic missile program as a means to an end. In his mind, the V2 was simply a prototype of rockets that would one day carry men into space. #3 The Saturn V was the largest and most complex vehicle ever built. It was used to launch the Apollo and Skylab missions in the 1960s, and it first stage carried 203,400 gallons of kerosene fuel and 318,000 gallons of liquid oxygen needed for combustion. #4 The space industry is based on the technology of the Apollo era, which was based on the V-2 design. This process of iterative design creates limitations in engineering thinking. You must be prepared to start from scratch to create something truly revolutionary.

Vallons, bosquets, eaux sinueuses, prairies, coteaux fertiles, forêts noirs : tel un peintre, Georges Touchard-Lafosse dresse le tableau de La Seine-et-Oise. Paru dans Histoire des environs de Paris, un genre de guide de voyage destiné alors à la bourgeoisie mais aussi aux voyageurs moins aisés de France, il entreprend une description pittoresque et poétique d'une région chère à son coeur, de ses bourgs et des ses villages, de ses monuments, de ses châteaux, de ses églises et de ses habitants. L'ouvrage constitue aujourd'hui une véritable mine d'Histoire qui permet de mieux comprendre et appréhender les paysages et coutumes d'autrefois. Georges Touchard-Lafosse (1780-1847) est un journaliste français, précurseur des guides de voyage modernes. Il est l'auteur des guides et descriptions de plusieurs départements et d'anecdotes historiques, notamment dans « Chroniques de l'OEil-de-boeuf » et de « Histoire des environs de Paris ».
