  Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest moment of our recent history in space was a disaster that was covered up?  Would you be shocked to find out that the greatest hero since Christopher Columbus, a cosmonaut named Yuri Gagarin, turns out to be a lie and that he was not the first man in space, contrary to what the millions of history books claim?  Would you be shocked to find out that Yuri Gagarin could not handle his life of a lie, and spiraled down into a horrible state of alcoholism, depression, and mood swings, and was ultimately murdered by the KGB?   The Oscar-nominated actor, Elliott Gould, narrates this true story of recent developments and brand-new declassified evidence, now clearly showing that there’s much, much more than meets the public eye about the secret life, and purported death, of Yuri Gagarin…Also included in this audiobook are uncut and unfiltered interviews by Sergei Khrushchev (the son of the former head of the old Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev), along with interviews of a Soviet historian, as well as a former CIA analyst.

  Walking with Spring

  In 1948, the Appalachian Trail had been a continuous, 2,000-mile footpath for eleven years, but no one had walked its length alone in a continuous journey—until Earl Shaffer, a quiet Pennsylvanian, became a hiking legend and the first of what is now more than 5,500 A.T. "thru-hikers," walking from Georgia to Maine as spring arrived to each area. In 1998, he hiked again as a 50th-anniversary celebration, to far greater publicity. This is the lyrical account of his fabled 1948 walk. 
   
   
   
  Written soon after the first of his three thru-hikes, Walking with Spring chronicles Shaffer's adventures along a path that at the time was showing neglect of the war years and has since been rerouted significantly to its permanent location. His simply stated story has served as an inspiration for more than 9,000 men and women who have since followed in his footsteps . . . and many more who have tried.

  This book contains the following titles: 
  Applied Physics - At its heart, applied physics bridges the gap between the abstract and the tangible. It transforms equations, theories, and experiments into solutions that have revolutionized modern society. The development of technologies such as semiconductors, lasers, and imaging systems began with fundamental discoveries in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism. These technologies now play a critical role in shaping industries, improving healthcare, and enhancing communication. 
  Astrophysics - Astrophysics, the study of the physical nature of celestial objects and the universe as a whole, seeks to answer some of humanity's most profound questions. What are the fundamental forces governing the cosmos? How did the universe originate, and what is its ultimate fate? These inquiries lie at the heart of astrophysics, a discipline that merges physics, mathematics, and astronomy to explore the heavens beyond the reach of Earth. 
  Chemistry - The field of chemistry is divided into several branches, each focusing on different aspects of matter. Organic chemistry, for example, deals with the structure and reactions of carbon-containing compounds, which form the basis of life. Inorganic chemistry, on the other hand, focuses on non-carbon compounds and materials like metals, salts, and minerals. Physical chemistry explores the energy changes and dynamics of chemical reactions, while analytical chemistry involves techniques to determine the composition of substances. 
  Physics - Over time, physics has expanded its scope to include a wide range of subfields. Classical mechanics, which focuses on the motion of objects and the forces acting on them, remains a fundamental area of study. However, as technology advanced, new branches emerged, such as electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.

  “I couldn’t stop reading it. It is well written with good imagery and appeals to those of us who have dealt with fear on any level…” ~ Bruce Weary, D.C., endurance rider 
  Sometimes raw, sometimes humorous, but always honest, this is a true account of a woman’s struggle to overcome a paralyzing fear, get back into the sport she loves, and the friendships she develops along the way. 
  After a lifetime of riding and owning horses and performing both in the show ring and on the trail, a difficult fall off her own horse on her own property leads Pam to realize age is catching up with her and she has become afraid to get back in the saddle. She embarks on a journey to find the perfect horse to help her get back into the tough sport of endurance riding, never knowing she would find help, both physically and emotionally, in a trainer and fellow rider who becomes a great friend. 
  This is a book for anyone who has fear or aging issues, anyone who loves riding horses, and anyone who needs a bit of hope.

  A rip-roaring tour of the cosmos with the Bad Astronomer, revealing the sky as never seen before―from everywhere but Earth. 
   
  How would Saturn’s rings look from a spaceship sailing just above them? If you were falling into a black hole, what’s the last thing you’d see before your spaghettification? What would it be like to visit the faraway places we currently experience only through high-powered telescopes and robotic emissaries? Faster-than-light travel may never be invented, but we can still take the scenic route through the universe with renowned astronomer and science communicator Philip Plait. 
   
  On this lively, immersive adventure through the cosmos, Plait draws ingeniously on the latest scientific research to transport readers to ten spectacular sites, from our own familiar Moon to the outer reaches of our solar system and far beyond. Whether strolling through a dust storm under Mars’ butterscotch sky, witnessing the birth of a star, or getting dizzy in a technicolor nebula, Plait is an illuminating, entertaining guide to the most otherworldly views in our universe.
