Book Synopsis New Space Frontiers by : Piers Bizony
Download or read book New Space Frontiers written by Piers Bizony and published by Zenith Press. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a journey into the New Space Frontier! It is easy to imagine that the space shuttle's retirement has edged the Space Age toward closure, at least in terms of human flight beyond the bounds of earth. In fact, there are more people-carrying ships being constructed now than at any time since Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space half a century ago. Some are already servicing the International Space Station - which, incidentally, has ensured a permanent human presence in space for the last two decades, and is set to continue and expand for decades yet to come. What's more, NASA is no longer the only big player in the space game. Commercial, non-governmental space exploration is becoming a reality rather than just a pipe dream. What orbital adventures await us in the next five decades? Will humans ever again head into deep space, as the Apollo astronauts once did? NASA's new hardware is aimed toward asteroid missions, and ultimately, Mars, but there is a significant chance that a government funded space agency will not be the only - or even the first - organization to send humans across the solar system. Get ready to experience the excitement of adventure with New Space Frontier. Through gorgeous photography and engaging writing, noted space and science author Piers Bizony speculates beyond just today's hardware and explores what might be possible for the next generation.

Book Synopsis Leaving Orbit by : Margaret Lazarus Dean
Download or read book Leaving Orbit written by Margaret Lazarus Dean and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize, a breathtaking elegy to the waning days of human spaceflight as we have known it In the 1960s, humans took their first steps away from Earth, and for a time our possibilities in space seemed endless. But in a time of austerity and in the wake of high-profile disasters like Challenger, that dream has ended. In early 2011, Margaret Lazarus Dean traveled to Cape Canaveral for NASA's last three space shuttle launches in order to bear witness to the end of an era. With Dean as our guide to Florida's Space Coast and to the history of NASA, Leaving Orbit takes the measure of what American spaceflight has achieved while reckoning with its earlier witnesses, such as Norman Mailer, Tom Wolfe, and Oriana Fallaci. Along the way, Dean meets NASA workers, astronauts, and space fans, gathering possible answers to the question: What does it mean that a spacefaring nation won't be going to space anymore?

There, he will face not only the aliens he has come to offer peace, but contend with creatures that once were human, with traitors in his midst, and with a meeting that will bring him face to face with no less than the oldest enemy of mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Dynamics Of Ideas That Create History" Orbit-shifting innovation happens when an area that needs transformation meets an innovator with the will and the desire to create, and not follow, history. At the heart of every orbit-shifting innovation is the breakthrough that achieves a transformative impact. Businesses, social enterprises and even governments need orbit-shifting ideas to create a transformative impact. But how does that ground breaking idea come about, and what translates it into actuality? Charting the vast global landscape of orbit-shifting innovation and using unique examples from prominent businesses, the social sector, entrepreneurs and public services - spread across US, UK, Europe, Africa and Asia - the authors build insight into the key drivers behind taking on a transformative challenge and provide a unique framework to navigate the pitfalls and challenges in making it happen. Orbit-shifting innovation empowers everyone to overcome the obstacles to innovation and provides the tools to maximize the impact of transformative change. The inspirational examples and tools for success compel leaders and entrepreneurs to not only pursue impossible challenges but lead the successful journey from conception of an orbit-shifting idea to actually creating history.

This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Failure destroys lives. It damages confidence and crushes the spirit. Throughout our lives we endeavour to manage our thoughts, actions and results so as not to be branded as failures. However, despite our best intentions, life does have a way of throwing curve balls and surprising us. Things do not always go the way we planned or wished for. Failure happens. And it will continue to happen. For most people failure is akin to a dreaded disease that must be prevented at any cost. Certainly it can never be admitted to. Failure is like fire – it has the power to singe or destroy completely. Few of us remember that failure can also be harnessed creatively. All that it requires is a different perspective. What do we know of failure? More importantly, how much do we know about it? The first step to overcoming our inherent fear of failure is to know the enemy – inside and out. This amazing, comprehensive and compassionate book helps us understand the anatomy, psychology and management of failure – the greatest, and often the most secret, fear of Man."

Download or read book Edengone written by J.P. Dold and published by Berchtold Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mike intends to continue in the quiet and peaceful life of a philosophy professor, but his friend, Ron, seems dead-set on rewriting the laws of physics. As Ron delves deeper into a hair-brained theory of his own, he discovers another world, invisible and intangible to us, but existing in the same space as our world. Ron persuades Mike to join him, and together they traverse the harsh conditions of an alien world locked in war. "At that moment, I was no longer Michael. I was no longer intellectual or diplomatic. The time for that was gone. Now it was the time to act. Now was the time of reckoning. I became a force. I became death and destruction. I became blood and fire. My heart pounded to the beat of an instinctive, primitive, and intrinsic war drum. I was prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. I was the tribunal. The crime had been committed. Justice required punishment. And I was there to deliver. Deliver I did. My battle cry delivered the accusation. My weapon served the verdict. And the rounds fired from my gun executed the sentence. "Do I look back on my actions with pride? No. Would I have spared them if there was another way? Yes. I wish I could have spared them. I wish I could have let them be. But they would not let Edengone be. Then can I reflect on my choices and look virtue and justice in the eye with confidence? Yes; a resounding and emphatic yes. The correct action is not always a pleasant or happy one, but it is necessary and always the best action. How do I justify my actions? That is between me and the powers I answer to. Let the world think of me as they will. I was trained to destroy, but more importantly, I was trained to know when to destroy. I do not reflect on my actions with any pride, but I do not reflect with any doubt, either."
Book Synopsis Your Guide to the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse by : Michael E. Bakich
Download or read book Your Guide to the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse written by Michael E. Bakich and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Astronomy Magazine editor Michael Bakich presents all the information you’ll need to be ready for the total solar eclipse that will cross the United States on August 21, 2017. In this one resource you’ll find out where the eclipse will occur, how to observe it safely, what you’ll experience during the eclipse, the best equipment to choose, how to photograph the event, detailed weather forecasts for locations where the Moon’s shadow will fall, and much more. Written in easy-to-understand language (and with a glossary for those few terms you may not be familiar with), this is the must-have reference for this unique occurrence. It’s not a stretch to say that this eclipse will prove to be the most viewed sky event in history. That’s why even now, more than a year before the eclipse, astronomy clubs, government agencies, cities — even whole states — are preparing for the unprecedented onslaught of visitors whose only desire is to experience darkness at midday. Bakich informs observers what anyone will need to observe, enjoy, and understand this event.
