Sinossi

An authoritative guide to Washington's nautical heritage.  Discover the popular destinations and hidden gems along Washington's coastline, from the Mukilteo Lighthouse to the Wedding Rocks petroglyphs and beyond. Learn about the seafaring Coast Salish people, who navigated the waters of the Pacific Northwest for thousands of years, and the early exploration and settlement by European-Americans in the late 18th century. Delve into the expansion and growth that led to the development of international ports and the modern maritime economy. View the enormous sternwheel snagboat, W.T. Preston--one of a trio that kept inland waterways navigable for nearly a century--and hundreds of other fascinating sites.  Join author Erich R. Ebel and historian Chuck Fowler as they guide you through the cultural and nautical history of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area.

    Just over half a century since Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the lunar surface, a new space race to the Moon is well underway and rapidly gaining momentum. Laying out a vision for the next fifty years, Back to the Moon is astrophysicist Joseph Silk's persuasive and impassioned case for putting scientific discovery at the forefront of lunar exploration. 
     
     
     
    The Moon offers opportunities beyond our wildest imaginings, and plans to return are rapidly gaining momentum around the world. NASA aims to build a habitable orbiting space station to coordinate lunar development and exploration, while European and Chinese space agencies are planning lunar villages and the mining of precious resources dwindling here on Earth. Powerful international and commercial interests are driving the race to revisit the Moon, but lunar infrastructures could also open breathtaking vistas onto the cosmos. Silk describes how the colonization of the Moon could usher in a thrilling new age of scientific exploration, and lays out what the next fifty years of lunar science might look like. With lunar telescopes of unprecedented size situated in permanently dark polar craters and on the far side of the Moon, we could finally be poised to answer some of the most profound questions confronting humankind, including whether we are alone in the Universe and what our cosmic origins are.

    In July 1937, Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean during the final leg of her attempt to fly around the world. Despite one of the most extensive search efforts in modern history, no definitive answer has ever been recorded. 
    AV on History: Amelia Earhart presents her disappearance as it was experienced at the time—through official reports, radio transmissions, press coverage, and the historical record as it stands today. This is not a biographical tribute, nor a speculative true-crime retelling. It is a documented investigation into what was known, what was reported, and where the record ultimately ends. 
    Narrated by Caesar Esturco, with dramatized performances by Rebecca Heddinger, this episode blends historical documentation with restrained dramatization to recreate the tension, uncertainty, and global attention surrounding Earhart’s final flight. The story unfolds through timelines, locations, and confirmed communications, allowing the mystery to emerge through absence rather than conjecture. 
    AV on History is a documentary audio series that examines pivotal historical moments that remain unresolved—not to solve them, but to present them clearly, accurately, and responsibly. 
    This is history as it was recorded. 
    And where it stopped.

    Extraordinary stories of people who have survived life’s most heart-wrenching tragedies and whose Christian faith has remained unshakable. 
    New York Times bestselling author Jeff Benedict has seen both good and bad in his career as a journalist. Some of the best are the extraordinary people he has met who have made deliberate choices to live happier lives despite the extreme hardship that each of them have faced. Although life will knock us down from time to time, this book is an important reminder that we all can make a choice to get back up, brush ourselves off, and keep pressing forward. 
    “Each of us will find ourselves at the intersection of happiness and despair. And when that day comes, there are choices we can make that will help us turn and walk down the street called Happiness,” says the author. From choosing to forgive to choosing to serve others to choosing to pray, the seven true stories that Jeff shares illustrate the power within each of us to choose to live a happier, more abundant life. 
    Stories include a husband who lost his wife when a young boy inadvertently pulled the trigger of a loaded shotgun;a waitress who nearly drowned after being swept away in a raging flood;a father who lost his one-year-old son to a rare disease;a woman lost at sea during a harrowing storm;a man who was brutally beaten but who chose to forgive his attacker;a mother whose home was demolished by a tornado, whose husband was diagnosed with cancer, and whose nine-year-old son has undergone nearly one hundred surgeries; anda father trying to raise his family in a neighborhood often targeted by gang members.
