Sinopse

"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.

    Brushing and flossing are essential components of dental health, but that is not what this book is about! According to Dr. Garcia, a clean mouth becomes “dirty” because of the things done to it or placed in it by conventional dental practices. That’s because traditional dentistry is primarily concerned with pain and appearance. No one likes an aching tooth – it often drives us to the dentist in the first place. And we all want perfectly arranged pearly whites with no gaps. These are not wrong desires, but without proper concern for the patient’s health beyond the oral cavity, long-term damage can be done to vitality and length of life. Teeth, gums, and jawbone are connected to the rest of the body through the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the nervous system. That means that what happens in the mouth never stays there. The materials and procedures used to produce a great-looking smile often dump toxins, pathogens, and other stresses on the oral tissues and the rest of the body that wreak havoc in many places. As a holistic dentist, Dr. Garcia can guide you into good choices about your dental care that will not sacrifice either a good-looking smile or your overall health and longevity. As you’ll soon see, a cleaner mouth does promote a longer life!

    In Modernizing Medicare, editors Robert Emmet Moffit and Marie Fishpaw bring together a rare combination of leading scholars and policy practitioners to outline a vision for Medicare reform and provide solutions for the millions of seniors whose health care depends on it. Contributors include a  
    former Medicare trustee, a former Medicare administrator, and a former director of the Congressional Budget Office. 
     
    Detailing Medicare’s biggest problems, this team of top policy experts offers solutions based on personal freedom of choice, transparency of price and performance, and market competition among health plans and providers that will secure patients more affordable, more accountable, and higher quality medical  
    care. They also address Medicare’s reform needs and analyze the promising performance of the Medicare Advantage program. Contributors outline Medicare’s major financial problems and the best solutions for Medicare patients and taxpayers alike. While Medicare’s accelerating spending is generating higher  
    deficits and debt, standard cost-control strategies—such as payment reductions and price controls—jeopardize patients’ access to high-quality care.

    Natural healing is the practice of using natural remedies such as herbs, foods, vitamins, and other plants to cure or prevent illness. In contrast with traditional Western medicine which focuses on treatments that are often high-tech and invasive, natural healing typically takes a less medical approach. 
    In most cases the body has a self-regulating ability to heal itself without intervention from individuals or outside sources which can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to individuals who choose this type of treatment. However some people may have specific health conditions in which they need outside help from natural healers in order for their bodies to fully recover. 
    The term "natural healing" is also used in the context of alternative healing as opposed to alternative medicine, which is a distinct field at scientific investigation with its own principles, methods and theories. 
    Natural healing is a well-established practice in many cultures around the world; certain cultures are known to have had medical practitioners who have used natural remedies for centuries before the discovery of modern medical science.
