An engineering survey of radiating shock layers.

John Anderson received his Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering Degree from the University of Florida in 1959 and his PhJD. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Ohio State University in 1966. From 1959 to 1962, Dr. Anderson served as a Lieutenant and Task Scientist in the U.S. Air Force at the Aerospace Research Laboratories, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. At Ohio State University from 1962 to 1966, he studied under National Science Foundation and NASA graduate fellowships. Since 1966, Dr. Anderson has been Chief of the Hypersonics Group, Aerophysics Division, at the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory, White Oak, Maryland. Also since 1966, he has been a Lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Catholic University. Dr. Anderson is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Sigma Tau, AIAA, and the American Physical Society. He has published in the areas of radiation gas dynamics, high-temperature nonequilibrium flows, and hypersonic aerodynamics. "In science, by a fiction as remarkable as any to be found in law, what has once been published, even though it be in the Russian language, is spoken of as known, and it is too often forgotten that the rediscovery in the library may be a more difficult and uncertain process than the first discovery in the laboratory.)J Lord Raykigh—1884
