  WOMEN SPACE PIONEERS is a profile of the lives and experiences of the first eight women astronauts in the U.S. space program when they all became astronauts, and their impact on the future of women's participation in space exploration.  What makes this audiobook absolutely UNIQUE is that seven of these astronauts were personally interviewed and their unfiltered and uncensored interviewed memories of their trials and tributlations of that era is presented here in their own words - Dr. Sally Ride, Dr. Kathy Sullivan, Dr. Anna Fisher, Dr. Rhea Seddon, Dr. Shannon Lucid, Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, and Dr. Mary Cleave.  In addition, interviews were also conducted and included here of some of the men who also flew with these women (Admiral TK Mattingly & Capt. Dave Walker), along with some of the top NASA officials of those days at the Johnson Space Center (Dr. Carolyn Huntoon & George Abbey).  There's also 3 songs by the noted singer, Jae Cie, who produced them as a tribute to their pioneering spirit.  This audiobook's introduction and epilogue are presented by NICHELLE NICHOLS, who portrayed the first woman astronaut on TV as communication officer Lt. Uhura in the original Star Trek TV series, and was an active recruiter of these women for NASA.

  50 Situations Awaiting Every Forensic Scientist is a personal guide to navigating the unique challenges and opportunities faced by America's forensic laboratory scientists. Charged with the awesome responsibility of giving a voice to the most commonly collected items of crime scene evidence, these highly trained professionals have a profound and lasting impact on the fairness and efficiency of our criminal justice system. In this thoughtful collection of heartfelt advice, humorous reflections, and candid self-admissions, acclaimed forensic laboratory administrator and expert witness coach, John M. Collins, encourages readers to stand tall in the face of adversity and opportunity. There is no such thing as a typical forensic science career, but there are situations, both common and uncommon, that can disorient even the most capable professionals if they are not prepared for them. Written from the perspective of one of the most recognized and respected forensic science leaders, not only in the United States but also internationally, 50 Situations promises to inspire and motivate, while also cautioning forensic scientists to remain alert for situations that are especially threatening or perplexing. Luck favors the prepared, which is why this book is a must-read for forensic science professionals at all levels of experience and responsibility who are interested in maximizing their individual effectiveness. 
  Two special features have been included in the 2nd edition for readers who are students or practicing forensic scientists. The first is the addition of five coaching questions at the end of each situation to facilitate reflection and discussion for both individuals and study groups. The second is a special chapter addressing criticisms launched against forensic science professionals by innocence activists in the criminal justice reform movement. While recognizing the legitimacy of this movement, the author puts these criticisms into their proper context.

  From the outset, Hynek and Vallee make their position clear: UFOs represent an unknown but real phenomenon. The far-reaching implications take us to the edge of what we consider the known and real in our physical environment. Perhaps UFOs signal the existence of a domain of nature as yet totally unexplored. These two eminent scientists studied the UFO phenomenon for decades and collaborated on this landmark report. 
   
   
   
  The authors sample UFO reports, including those allegedly involving humanoids, and describe the patterns that have been perceived in the behavior of the phenomenon. They also establish a framework for the further study of the UFO phenomenon. Where might such study lead? What can be studied, and how? What is the real nature of the UFO phenomenon? Does it originate with the actions of other intelligences in the universe? If so, where, and what, might they be? Does the UFO phenomenon have a purely physical explanation, or is there a vaster, hidden realm that holds the solution? 
   
   
   
  These are the questions that have concerned the authors for many years, and it is with possible answers to them that The Edge of Reality is concerned. This book is a deep dive in discussion between Hynek and Vallee and covers many facets of the UFO phenomena. The Edge of Reality was originally published in 1975 and has been available for many years.

  Dr. David Satcher is one of the most widely known and well-regarded physicians of our time. A former four-star admiral in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he served as the assistant secretary for health, the surgeon general of the United States, and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before founding the eponymous Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine. At the core of his impact on public health, he is also a lifelong leader for civil rights and health equity. 
   
   
   
  In My Quest for Health Equity, Dr. Satcher takes an inspiring and instructive look inside his fifty-year career to shed light on the challenge and burden of leadership.

  Drawing on his early memories, medical school days, and experience in the civil rights movement, Dr. Satcher touches on a number of topics, including the essential qualities of leadership; leading from science to policy to practice; the importance of clear communication and continual learning; the need for workplace discipline; confronting failure; team approaches to leadership; and much more.

  The Social Genome - The New...

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.
