    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.

    Have you ever wondered if your own faith community might be more cult-like than Christ-like? 
    Jim Valekis has. He spent 40 years in religious communities, where he served alongside dedicated believers who faithfully pursued God—and yet also witnessed leadership and teachings that hindered rather than helped the spread of God’s Word. His shocking discovery: when culture becomes the lens through which you view Christ, cult-like thinking can take root and infiltrate even the most earnest Christian community. 
    This powerful and raw memoir reveals how Valekis navigated four different "cult"ures: the Greek Orthodox tradition, Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, American Evangelicalism, and—the worst—his own personal struggle with his preferred world view. 
    More than a narrative of one man’s experience, The Christian in the Cult offers tools for spiritual discernment while providing hope for those wounded by religious authority. The author’s honest spiritual journey culminates in a profound understanding of God’s faithfulness, which transforms how believers engage with their faith communities and share the Gospel. 
    With equal parts caution and urgent call to action, Valekis will help you recognize when religious culture obscures Christ's message, develop discernment to navigate faith communities wisely, and discover the freedom we can only find when we are truly living in Christ.

    Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late-stage treatments. Early Detection examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer. They look at the science underpinning early detection and discuss the organizational and social challenges of widespread screening, a dimension that has been shown to be especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. And they call for the government and the medical establishment to provide resources for expanding screening, especially in economically disadvantaged communities that have traditionally been underserved.
