李佩主編的《錢學森文集(1938-1956海外學術文獻)》(英文版)編錄科學大師錢學森在美國學習和工作期間(1938-1956)公開發表的論文。那時正值航空從低速走向高速和航天技術從無到有的階段。1946年開始，錢學森以戰略高度發表了不少開創性的論文，包括噴氣推進、工程控制論、物理力學和工程科學等，深刻反映出20世紀正是將自然科學的基本規律轉化為可解決復雜條件下工程問題的科學理論，從而使人類實現航空航天夢，進入數字信息的新時代。

《錢學森文集(1938-1956海外學術文獻)》(英文版)由李佩主編。 《錢學森文集(1938-1956海外學術文獻)》(英文版)內容簡介： This volume collects the scientific works of Tsien Hsue-shen accomplished during his stay in the United States as a graduate student, scientist and professor and published in the period of 1938-1956, when the aeronautic exploration stepped from low-speed to high-speed regimes and astronautic technology entered its infant stage. In these papers, he addressed and solved a series of key problems in aerodynamics, stability of shells, rocket ballistics and engine analyses, etc., some of which were path-breaking. Starting from 1946, with his strategic wisdom, Tsien Hsue-shen made pioneering contributions to some fields, such as jet propulsion, engineering cybernetics, physical mechanics and engineering sciences, and so on. All these works feature the unique methodology of turning basic theories in natural science into practical tools in tackling complicated engineering problems. It is worth noting that he first advocated the philosophy of engineering sciences, which has been elucidated and illustrated in the volume and proved to be the guideline of innovative industrial development. The collected works might benefit to its extensive readers in getting deeper insight into the academic contributions, scientific thoughts and studying style of Tsien from various viewpoints.
