Shocking Space Missions unveils the often-unseen side of space exploration, focusing on the inherent risks and challenges astronauts and engineers face. It explores critical failures, near-misses, and unexpected incidents that have marked humanity's journey to the cosmos. The book emphasizes the need to understand these events to ensure safer future space travel. One intriguing insight is the analysis of previously unreleased audio recordings, offering firsthand accounts of in-flight crises. The book also examines the psychological resilience required of flight crews when faced with extreme adversity, highlighting the human element in space incidents and the potential for orbital anomalies. The book uniquely adopts a critical yet constructive approach, delving into the underlying causes of space mission incidents and drawing lessons for risk management and engineering. It begins by outlining the general challenges of space travel, then progresses through specific cases of encounters with space debris, critical system failures, and astronaut crises. By analyzing these events, Shocking Space Missions provides concrete recommendations for improving safety protocols and enhancing crew training, ultimately fostering a more realistic understanding of the risks associated with space exploration and space travel. This ensures a valuable read for anyone interested in space history and space exploration.

    "I was tired of feeling this way. I was tired of everything, and I just wanted it to end . . . What would happen if I lit the entire place on fire? What if I just stayed perfectly still and did nothing?"Kicking ASSpergers is the triumphant memoir of one man's journey with autism and his quest for happiness and self empowerment despite the many challenges life throws at him. Detailing his struggles with acute anxiety, depression, OCD, psychosis, suicidal ideation, as well as social stigma and medical bias, Jeremy Tolmie moves through his childhood, from the moment he was adopted by loving parents, through brutal school years being bullied and teased, and into adulthood, where he attempts to hold down a job, attend college, and live semi independently. Over time, Jeremy starts to alienate the people in his life with his erratic and dangerous behaviour, and finds himself in and out of various living situations, including psych wards. When he meets Dave Ray, a home share provider, Jeremy starts to learn how to "trust the process" and how not to let autism rule his life.Written with humour, honesty, and compassion, Kicking ASSperger's breaks down stigma and dismantles myths and assumptions about autism. This unique voice tells an inspirational story of friendship, trust, and perseverance in the face of adversity.

    This program is read by read by Sura Siu with an exclusive note written and read by the author.One of TIME and Oprah Daily's Most Anticipated Books of 2025“Siu's measured, compassionate delivery honors Nguyen's story, which balances the raw emotion of trauma with the strength of survival.”—AudioFile"Amanda’s story—innovatively told by versions of herself at different ages—underscores the lasting power of speaking your truth, building a movement, and never losing sight of your dreams.” —Melinda French Gates"In Saving Five, Amanda Nguyen shows us how to reclaim the full spectrum of our lives, replete with pain, fury, creativity, and recovered dreams.” —Chanel Miller, author of Know My NameA brave and imaginative memoir by the Nobel Peace Prize nominee Amanda Nguyen, detailing her healing journey and groundbreaking activism in the aftermath of her rape at Harvard.In 2013, the trajectory of Amanda Nguyen’s life was changed forever when she was raped at Harvard.Determined to not let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA after graduation, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under “Jane Doe.” But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months to take action before the state destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change—not only for herself but for survivors everywhere.A heart-wrenching memoir of survival and hope, Saving Five boldly braids the story of Nguyen’s activism—which resulted in Congress’s unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act in 2016—with a second, beautifully imagined adventure, of Nguyen's younger selves as they—at ages five, fifteen, twenty-two, and thirty—navigate through dramatic incarnations of the emotional stages of her path toward healing, not only from her rape but from the violent turmoil of her childhood. The result is a groundbreaking work that seamlessly blends memoir with a moving journey toward acceptance and hope, forging a path ahead that is as inspiring as it is instructive.From one of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of her time, Saving Five is at once a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action, and a resounding cry to change the world. A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.

    The dialogue centers around the nature of pleasure and its relationship to the good life. The two main interlocutors in the dialogue are Socrates and Philebus, a prominent Athenian intellectual. Throughout the dialogue, Socrates and Philebus engage in a complex and nuanced discussion about the nature of pleasure and its place in the good life. They explore questions such as whether pleasure is the ultimate good, whether there are different kinds of pleasure, and whether pleasure can be reconciled with reason and virtue. The dialogue highlights the importance of balance and harmony in the pursuit of a good life, and it remains a significant work of philosophy to this day. Read in English, unabridged.
