{"product_id":"space-the-dormant-frontier-joan-johnson-freese-9780275958879","title":"Space, the Dormant Frontier: Changing the Paradigm for the 21st Century","description":"Rather than examining only the civil or military side of the US space program, as have many books in the past, \u003ci\u003eSpace, the Dormant Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e takes a unique look at the space program as a whole. Part of the book's treatise is that the two communities must stop ignoring each other if the US space program is to move forward beyond being a science project, jobs program, or political football. How the program got into its current, semi-desperate state is also examined, as history has given space a legacy once glorious, now an albatross. The authors include information and analysis on the military and civil space programs, challenge the perspective of the Washington Beltway analyst with vested interests in the status quo, and make policy recommendations based on realism, rather than idealism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Johnson-Freese,Roger Handberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275958876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275958879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.48w x 1.14d","brand":"Joan Johnson-Freese","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47637130084607,"sku":"9780275958879","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e8a4e62-0bca-403a-88a1-956de12c544b.jpg?v=1765114105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-the-dormant-frontier-joan-johnson-freese-9780275958879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
