Sinossi

Team Space Goals explores how international collaboration in space, particularly on the International Space Station (ISS), provides valuable lessons for addressing global challenges. It examines the history of multinational space missions, highlighting the shift from the Cold War space race to present-day international partnerships. The book argues that the unique demands of space exploration necessitate a level of cooperation and shared purpose that can be adapted to tackle issues like climate change and global health crises.

The book dissects the operational dynamics of the ISS, revealing how astronauts and scientists from diverse backgrounds effectively collaborate in a confined environment. One intriguing fact is how integrated mission planning and cross-cultural communication protocols contribute to shared risk management. Another insight involves the resource allocation strategies used on the ISS, which are crucial for long-term sustainability. By analyzing these mechanisms, the book identifies key principles applicable to other domains.

Structured in three parts, the book begins with the history of international space collaboration, followed by an in-depth analysis of the ISS's organizational structure and daily routines. It concludes by exploring the potential applications of space-based collaboration models to address global challenges. Team Space Goals presents evidence from NASA mission reports, scientific publications, and astronaut interviews, offering a holistic understanding of successful international cooperation and its potential for solving Earth-bound problems.

Flannery O'Connor's Why Do the...

Jessica Hooten Wilson

Christianity Today 2025 Award of Merit (Culture, Poetry, and the Arts) 
 
"Wilson does a great service in resurrecting one of O'Connor's lesser-known works."--Publishers Weekly 
 
When celebrated American novelist and short story writer Flannery O'Connor died at the age of thirty-nine in 1964, she left behind an unfinished third novel titled Why Do the Heathen Rage? Scholarly experts uncovered and studied the material, deeming it unpublishable. It stayed that way for more than fifty years. 
 
Until now. 
 
For the past ten-plus years, award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson has explored the 378 pages of typed and handwritten material of the novel--transcribing pages, organizing them into scenes, and compiling everything to provide a glimpse into what O'Connor might have planned to publish. 
 
This book is the result of Hooten Wilson's work. In it, she introduces O'Connor's novel to the public for the first time and imagines themes and directions O'Connor's work might have taken. Including illustrations and an afterword from noted artist Steve Prince (One Fish Studio), the book unveils scenes that are both funny and thought-provoking, ultimately revealing that we have much to learn from what O'Connor left behind.

The Journey Toward Wholeness -...

Suzanne Stabile

In everything from health care and politics to technology and economics, we are experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us feel better temporarily but don't last. 
 
 
 
For those who want to dive deeper into Enneagram wisdom, expert teacher Suzanne Stabile opens the concept of three Centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling, and doing. When we learn to manage these centers, each for its intended purpose, we open a path to reducing fear, improving relationships, growing spiritually, and finding wholeness. Drawing on the dynamic stability of the Enneagram, she explains each number's preferred and repressed Center of Intelligence and its role in helping us move toward internal balance. Using brief focused chapters, this book provides what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting transformation in our lives.

Trafficking Data - How China is...

Aynne Kokas

From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.
