Sinopse

Russian Space explores the compelling history of Russia's, and previously the Soviet Union's, contributions to space exploration. From the pioneering launch of Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, to Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human in space, the book examines the interwoven aspects of scientific breakthroughs, political ambitions, and human determination that propelled the Russian space program forward. The narrative challenges Western-centric views by highlighting the unique technological and scientific contributions from a different cultural and political perspective. The book also dives into the intense Cold War space race, detailing how competition with the United States influenced technological development and the inherent risks involved. Furthermore, it analyzes the program's resilience following the Soviet Union's collapse, emphasizing its adaptation, financial challenges, and crucial international collaborations, especially with the International Space Station. Presenting information chronologically, the book begins with the theoretical groundwork laid by Russian scientists, then delves into Soviet advancements, Cold War competition, and modern-day collaborations, using declassified documents, technical reports, and firsthand accounts to provide a balanced and nuanced perspective.

    Compromise has three colors. 
    The American church has a history of creating and maintaining racist ideas and practices. This audio original recording from NYT bestselling author Jemar Tisby is based on the themes introduced in The Color of Compromise but goes a step further, showing how compromise has three distinct colors: green, white, and red. Green represents the greed than accompanies support of racism. It is white, representing the white supremacy that views white people as inherently superior to other skin colors. And it is red, representing the blood that has been spilled--and continues to be shed--to fight against racism. Tisby offers a powerful challenge to avoid complicity with racism by taking a bold stand for racial justice, starting today.

    After years of working at the ends of the earth in human rights and development, Brent Preston and his wife were die-hard city dwellers. But when their second child arrived, the shine came off urban living. In 2003 they bought a hundred acres and a rundown farmhouse and set out to build a real farm, one that would sustain their family, nourish their community, heal their environment, and turn a profit. The New Farm is Preston’s memoir of a decade of grinding toil and perseverance. Farming is a complex and precarious business, and they made plenty of mistakes along the way. But as they learned how to grow food, and to succeed at the business of farming, they also found that a small, sustainable, organic farm could be an engine for change, a path to a more just and sustainable food system. Today, The New Farm supplies top restaurants, supports community food banks, hosts events with leading chefs, and grows extraordinary produce. Told with humor and heart, The New Farm is a joy, a passionate book by an important new voice.

    This is a collection of five alchemical tracts written by one of the most famous alchemists who was said to have discovered the Philosopher's Stone. In these writings Paracelsus attempts to educate the reader about the nature of the Philosopher's Stone and the scientific principles from which we can be assured of its existence and understand how it works. Like all alchemical tracts, the language is very cryptic and allegorical so as to be unintelligible to the unworthy.
