Sinopsis

"Space Missions" explores humanity's compelling journey into space, detailing the daring missions and individuals who have expanded our understanding of the cosmos. The book examines the technological advancements, geopolitical influences, and personal sacrifices that have driven human space exploration. It highlights the intense Cold War rivalry that fueled the space race, leading to the monumental achievement of the Moon landing.

 
Did you know that the early Soviet space program achieved several firsts, including the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, and the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin? Also, the Apollo program not only landed humans on the Moon but also brought back valuable lunar samples that continue to inform scientific research today.

 
The book presents a comprehensive overview of space missions, starting with the fundamental principles of rocketry and orbital mechanics. From the early Soviet and American space programs to the Apollo missions, the Space Shuttle era, and current Mars exploration endeavors, each chapter builds upon the last. "Space Missions" distinguishes itself by providing a balanced perspective on both Soviet and American space programs, offering a detailed, fact-driven narrative suitable for a broad audience interested in science and history.

    Battling Over Birth: Black Women and the Maternal Health Care Crisis reveals hard truths—powerful findings on the role of racism, coercion, inadequate prenatal care, the pressures undermining breastfeeding, and the lack of access to alternatives to a broken maternal health-care system as key threads of black women's birth experiences. 
     
     
     
    Battling Over Birth, a new human rights report from Black Women Birthing Justice, shares stories from over 100 women who recently gave birth in California. The report reveals the culture of fear and coercion that has transformed birth into a battleground, a deep lack of trust of our hospitals, and a broken maternal healthcare system that fails too many black women. The report shakes up our understanding of where state violence happens, and who it happens to; putting the human rights spotlight onto a system that is often unaccountable to black communities. Battling Over Birth also provides solutions. It makes a series of recommendations, including community accountability boards to hold hospitals accountable; increased access to midwifery and doula-care; recruitment and training of more health-care professionals of color; culturally-competent, empowering prenatal and postpartum care; greater access to home birth and birth centers; and a sharp reduction in the use of C-sections.

    An award-winning natural-history writer opens the door to the nature that thrives in our yards, gardens, and parks    We all live on nature’s doorstep, but we often overlook it. From backyards to local parks, the natural places we see the most may well be the ones we know the least.     In Close to Home, biologist Thor Hanson shows how retraining our eyes reveals hidden wonders just waiting to be discovered. In Kansas City, migrating monarch butterflies flock to the local zoo. In the Pacific Northwest, fierce yellowjackets placidly sip honeydew, unseen in the treetops. In New England, a lawn gone slightly wild hosts a naturalist's life's work. And in the soil beneath our feet, remedies for everything from breast cancer to the stench of skunks lie waiting for someone’s searching shovel.     Close to Home is a hands-on natural history for any local patch of Earth. It shows that we each can contribute to science and improve the health of our planet. And even more, it proves that the wonders of nature don’t lie in some far-off land: they await us, close to home.
