Summary

In "Beauty: Illustrated Chiefly by an Analysis and Classification of Beauty in Woman," Alexander Walker delves into the intricate interplay of aesthetics and societal perceptions of beauty. The text is notable for its pioneering approach to categorizing beauty, blending philosophical inquiry with vivid illustrations that enrich the narrative. Walker employs a meticulous analytical style that reflects the cultural context of the early 19th century, where beauty became a subject of scientific scrutiny and artistic fascination. His exploration navigates both the subjective and objective elements of beauty, seeking to establish a framework for understanding its significance in women's representation and cultural ideals. Alexander Walker, a Scottish author and advocate for the aesthetic arts, draws on his experiences and observations from a rapidly changing society. Influenced by the Romantic ideals of the time, Walker's work reflects a deep engagement with both art and science, as he seeks to unify these fields through the study of beauty. His commitment to exploring the aesthetic qualities of women is likely informed by his insights into societal norms, as well as a devotion to the artistic traditions that prioritize beauty in female form. "Beauty: Illustrated Chiefly by an Analysis and Classification of Beauty in Woman" is essential reading for those intrigued by the intersections of art, philosophy, and cultural studies. Walker's thorough examination not only informs our understanding of beauty but also invites readers to consider how these ideals shape and reflect societal values. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of aesthetic thought and the representation of women in art.

    The Space Race - The History of...

    Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration.  
	Of all the goals the Bolshevik Revolution aimed to bring about, perhaps nowhere were Russian promises delivered on more than in the success of the Soviet Space program of the 1950s and 1960s. As a result of Russian innovation and technology, but also due to incredible drive to modernize and compete with the United States for world power, Russia was finally and triumphantly modernized in the eyes of her own people and the world. Neil deGrasse Tyson recognized the Soviet legacy in space in his Space Chronicles, citing the Soviets’ “important measure[s] of space achievement: first spacewalk, longest spacewalk, first woman in space, first docking in space, first space station, longest time logged in space.”[1] 
	In fact, the Soviet Union spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). President Eisenhower and other Americans who could view Soviet rockets in the sky were justifiably worried that Soviet satellites in orbit could soon be spying on them, or, even worse, dropping nuclear bombs on them. Dovetailing off their success developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Soviets were the first to make enormous advances in actual space exploration.
