  Florida's Space Coast tells the compelling story of America's half century in space exploration from the successful launch of the first two-stage rocket in 1950 through the space shuttle missions of 2000. Told from the unique viewpoint of the people who built the Spaceport, this book shows how the space program transformed the east central Florida coast from a traditional citrus production and tourist area to one of the most influential high-tech centers in the nation. 
   
   
   
  Cape Canaveral was chosen as a missile launch site because of its many geographical advantages. However, in the early years of the space program, the area was far from an ideal place for NASA employees to raise their families. NASA brought in thousands of space-related workers, who, besides sending machines and people into space, had to meet the challenge of moving their families from urban environs to a rural southern county. This book engagingly recounts the parallel stories of the establishment of America's space program and its impact on the development of Brevard County.

  LibriVox volunteers bring you 19 recordings of The Window on the Hill by Madison Julius Cawein. This was the Weekly Poetry project for April 22, 2012.Madison Julius Cawein was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the fifth child of William and Christiana (Stelsly) Cawein. His father made patent medicines from herbs. Cawein thus became acquainted with and developed a love for local nature as a child. After graduating from high school, Cawein worked in a pool hall in Louisville as a cashier in Waddill's New-market, which also served as a gambling house. He worked there for six years, saving his pay so he could return home to write. His output was thirty-six books and 1,500 poems. His writing presented Kentucky scenes in a language echoing Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats. He soon earned the nickname the "Keats of Kentucky". He was popular enough that, by 1900, he told the Louisville Courier-Journal that his income from publishing poetry in magazines amounted to about $100 a month (Summary by Wikipedia)

  "A volume of Adorno is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on literature." —Susan Sontag 
   
  A reflection on everyday existence in the ‘sphere of consumption of late Capitalism’, this work is Adorno’s literary and philosophical masterpiece. Built from aphorisms and reflections, he shifts in register from personal experience to the most general theoretical problems. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Joel Richards, with audio engineering by Katie Jackson. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Emotional Leader

  Sherif Khaled

  In moments of extreme pressure—when breathing accelerates, voices rise, and the window for decision narrows—it is not the loudest who prevails… but the most deeply aware. 
   This book does not speak about leadership as you know it; instead, it reveals the hidden dimension that creates the true difference between a leader who is driven by emotions and a leader who commands emotions. 
  The Emotional Leader is a journey into the human mind under fire: how a leader reads the emotional signals of the team before they turn into chaos, how fear is transformed into energy, anger into focus, and confusion into disciplined silence. You will discover the mechanisms of emotional control in critical time, the secrets of decision-making when mistakes are not an option, and how team emotions can become a leadership tool rather than a burden to be suppressed. 
  This is not a book about kindness or superficial empathy. It is about quiet strength, emotional intelligence as a tool of strategic control, and the leader who does not break the team to lead it… but understands it, guiding it toward survival and victory. 
   If you are seeking leadership that stands firm when everyone else collapses, this book was written for you.

  The Power of Black Excellence -...

  From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in expanding American democracy. 
   
   
   
  In The Power of Black Excellence, Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1865. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders—including Kamala Harris—who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service.
