Sinossi

"Space Shuttle Legacy" presents a comprehensive examination of NASA's transformative Space Shuttle Program, chronicling its remarkable 30-year journey from 1981 to 2011. The book explores how this ambitious initiative revolutionized human spaceflight through three groundbreaking achievements: the development of reusable spacecraft, establishing permanent human presence in space, and advancing satellite deployment and repair capabilities.

 
Through meticulous research drawing from NASA archives and firsthand accounts, the narrative reveals how the program's innovations continue to influence modern space exploration. The book's chronological progression takes readers from the program's inception in the 1970s through its most significant accomplishments, including the construction of the International Space Station and the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope.

 
Particularly fascinating is the program's impact on scientific research, where microgravity experiments led to breakthroughs in fluid dynamics and crystal growth. The author skillfully demonstrates how technologies developed for the shuttle program found practical applications in everyday life, from advanced sporting equipment to medical imaging technologies.

 
While maintaining an objective stance, the work doesn't shy away from addressing the program's challenges, including its cost-effectiveness and safety record. The author presents a balanced analysis of both achievements and setbacks, making complex aerospace concepts accessible to readers with basic scientific knowledge. This approach, combined with detailed technical analysis and historical documentation, offers valuable insights into how the Space Shuttle Program's legacy continues to shape current space initiatives, including commercial spaceflight and future missions to the Moon and Mars.

    If you live in the Pacific Northwest, get ready to run for your life . . . 
    In the face of a massive earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific Northwest, a respected geologist must make two gut-wrenching decisions. One could cost him his reputation, the other, his life. 
    Is the Northwest overdue for a huge quake and tsunami, or will the region remain safe for hundreds of years yet to come? No one knows… or does someone? 
    Dr. Rob Elwood, a geologist whose specialty is earthquakes and tsunamis, is having nightmares of "the big one" that are way too real to disregard. His friend, a counselor and retired reverend, does not think Rob is going nuts. To the contrary, he believes the dreams are premonitions to be taken seriously. No one else does, however, even after a press conference. 
    Some live to regret it, most don't. 
    Rob's drama becomes intertwined with others--a retired fighter pilot trying to make amends to a woman he jilted decades ago and a quixotic retiree searching for legendary buried treasure in the rugged coastal mountains of Oregon. 
    All are about to live Rob's nightmare. 
    "Riveting, scary, and entirely believable . . . a compelling, page-turning thriller with the ring of truth." Jerry Thompson, author of Cascadia's Fault

    A revelatory tale of how the human brain develops, from conception to birth and beyond 
     
     
     
    By the time a baby is born, its brain is equipped with billions of intricately crafted neurons wired together through trillions of interconnections to form a compact and breathtakingly efficient supercomputer. Zero to Birth takes you on an extraordinary journey to the very edge of creation, from the moment of an egg's fertilization through each step of a human brain's development in the womb—and even a little beyond. 
     
     
     
    As pioneering experimental neurobiologist W. A. Harris guides you through the process of how the brain is built, he takes up the biggest questions that scientists have asked about the developing brain, describing many of the thrilling discoveries that were foundational to our current understanding. He weaves in a remarkable evolutionary story that begins billions of years ago in the Proterozoic eon, when multicellular animals first emerged from single-cell organisms, and reveals how the growth of a fetal brain over nine months reflects the brain's evolution through the ages. Our brains have much in common with those of other animals, and Harris offers an illuminating look at how comparative animal studies have been crucial to understanding what makes a human brain human.
