{"product_id":"of-sound-mind-alan-parsons-9780244179847","title":"Of Sound Mind: Life and Work of a Naval Scientist","description":"Alan Parsons had a long and distinguished career as a naval scientist. This book covers his genealogy and his life from childhood to retirement, during which he had successes, failures, joys and sorrows. After a first degree in mathematics and a false start as an actuarial student, he returned to university to research for a PhD. His thesis on Gulf Stream circulation was seminal, and probably the best work he ever did. For the next fifty years he worked in UK government laboratories and industry on problems mainly concerned with underwater acoustics and submarine detection, for which he received some accolades. He retired in 2003 \"in situ\" and managed to continue working and fulfilling his enjoyable duties at Birmingham University where he remains an honorary professor. This book was written so that his young family would have a record of what he did in his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Parsons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244179840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244179847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.91d","brand":"Alan Parsons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517281251583,"sku":"9780244179847","price":20.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f27e9a8-1986-41bb-916a-5aa8d85aa7a0.jpg?v=1778731103","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-sound-mind-alan-parsons-9780244179847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
