Narrative of the North Polar Expedition. U.S. Ship Polaris, Captain Charles Francis Hall Commanding
Reprint of the original, first published in 1881.
From Polaris to Trident
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.

Polaris the Bear
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.
