Henderson. This compact volume covers the use of tensors in the analysis of navigation, guidance, and control of aerospace vehicles. There are four chapters and four appendices, and the book is more than 200 pages long. David Henderson is very well qualified to write on the subject, because of his long and broad experience in the field. The AIAA Education Book Series aims to cover a very broad range of topics in the general aerospace field, including basic theory, applications and design. Information about the complete list of titles can be found on the last pages of this volume. The philosophy of the series is to develop textbooks that can be used in a university setting, as instructional materials for continuing education and professional development courses, and also as books that can serve as the basis for independent study. Suggestions for new topics or authors are always welcome. Joseph A.
