  The NASA way: lessons on leadership, teamwork, and corporate culture. How does NASA take on seemingly insurmountable challenges, recover from tragedy and continue to attract the best and brightest talent?
  		 
  Space exploration is as much a story of leadership and teamwork as it is a story of exploration and discovery. Leadership Moments from NASA delves into the culture of the famed organization and examines the leadership styles and insights of NASA senior executives spanning five decades of human spaceflight to share the lessons they learned from critical moments. How did they prioritize? How did they resolve differences? How did they decide what to do when no one had done it before? How did they build highly competent teams? How did they build organizational resilience? How did they fight complacency and rebuild a culture of safety and innovation?
  		 
  Through the use of NASA oral histories and interviews, this book shows how NASA recovered from tragedy and adversity, and how it developed a culture of competency that continues to attract the best and brightest.

  Another Fine Mess - Life on...

  Pope Brock

  The author of Charlatan is “the perfect armchair cosmonaut” for “a very funny and provocative rumination on the big move to off-planet real estate” (Mark Haskell Smith, author of Blown).   We’ve gotten into another fine mess, destroying the planet and all. So where will we go next? Is it time to colonize outer space? Acclaimed essayist Pope Brock takes us on a vivid satirical journal to learn just what life might look like living on tomorrow’s moon.   “Though the reader finds herself in happy contemplation of crisping ex-lovers with lasers from a future lunar workplace, or perhaps having imperfect sex in perfect spheres of water, or simply socializing on the moon with well-adapted sociopaths, nevertheless we also get to know the fiercely earthbound heart of Pope Brock. His vision is both funny and horrifying, a Seussian galaxy of rumpus absurdity and straight-talking hard truths. By the end of it one thinks, ‘Ah, Humanity’ but right upon that one thinks, ‘Thank goodness for Pope Brock.’” —Leigh Allison Wilson, author of From the Bottom Up   “Deft, funny, profound in its implications—and also a grave prediction about the mess that may soon be transferred from the Earth to the moon. A beguiling and original story by a writer whose wisdom is only matched by his wicked comic timing.” —Sarah Braunstein, author of The Sweet Relief of Missing Children   “An inspired observer with a poet’s heart, his investigation into our lunar future is informed, wry and sublimely readable.”—Cathy Galvin, founder of the Word Factory, London

  Science Religion and Ethics in...

  What is human? Can the promise of great scientific discoveries be reconciled with traditional notions of God and ethics? Are we capable of using biotechnology to better the human condition? How can science, religion, and ethics be used to inform our decisions? What will an increasingly sophisticated understanding of genetics mean for health care or our understanding of free will?  
   
  Advances in 21st-century biomedicine raise these and other fundamental questions. Our answers will profoundly shape national policy, science, health care, and our notions of right and wrong. Stem cell research, cloning, nanotechnology, chimera creation, genetic medicine, and other initiatives give humans an unprecedented capacity to heal and influence our lives.  
   
  Now, for the first time, you can explore these important issues from three perspectives—scientific, theological, and ethical—through this unique 24-lecture series. Presented by Kevin T. FitzGerald, Catholic Priest, PhD in molecular genetics, PhD in bioethics, you will gain a level of multidisciplinary understanding held by remarkably few people. Whatever your view on or understanding of biomedical discoveries, you will profit from this course.  
   
  Beginning with the seemingly simple question "what is human?" Fr. FitzGerald investigates the implications of modern science. Several lectures are devoted to stem cells. What are they, where do they come from, and how are they used? Does it matter if a stem cell comes from an embryo versus bone marrow, the placenta, or skin? Examine the promise and dangers of stem cell research.  
   
  The world marveled at Dolly, the first cloned sheep, and now cloning is widespread. What is cloning, how is it done, and are humans being cloned now?  
   
  Nanotechnology has captured the world's imagination; tiny technologies one hundred thousandth the width of a human hair can fit into cells like small machines. How do they work? What can go wrong? What social justice issues arise regarding the availability of potentially powerful but costly individualized treatments?  
   
  Did you know that chimeras— "genetic blends of different animals that create new species"—are a reality? Can a part-human, part-animal chimera be created? Are they 'persons' in spiritual, ethical, or legal terms?  
   
  The study of genetics is rapidly advancing to map genetic codes of humans and animals with ever greater precision. How are genes changed and manipulated? What does this mean for our food supply and for future generations of humans?  
   
  Fr. FitzGerald examines each issue with sensitivity and perspective. Looking into the future, he gives you the tools you will need to determine which way is forward. If we gain more power over our biology, how can we use this power for good? Where are the limits? How can faith, ethics, and science come together to help us make the right choices?

  Rewire Your Mindset And Get Fast Results With Hypnosis! 
  The advantages of hypnosis therapy are widespread. A lot of individuals report positive changes with hypnosis and it's recognized as a valid type of holistic alternative medicine. 
  Hypnosis is a popular technique utilized for weight loss, overcoming addiction, healing, achieving goals, relaxation and stress relief. It's utilized to get rid of undesired behaviors and beliefs and to manifest new desires and achieve goals in life. 
    
  If you wish to influence your subconscious mind to accept new programming for positive alterations hypnosis is an effective technique for doing that. 
  Among the chief advantages of hypnosis is that when you in a hypnotic state brain wave frequencies decelerate. You center or focus your awareness and you're actually much more aware than usual. A state of centered awareness almost feels as though you're more of an observer of thought and images rather than a part of them. This allows you to bypass the "gatekeepers" at the entrance to the subconscious and superconscious so you are able to access these levels of consciousness directly, and the brain is much more receptive to suggestion. 
  The unconscious, or subconscious may then be reprogrammed so it lets go of old patterns, beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you. They may be replaced with suggestions that are favorable and affirming. The superconscious mind may open you into fresh insights and originative ideas. 
  For lasting positive changes, hypnosis suggestions need to be repeated several times till your mind accepts the new programming. 
  Put this audio on each night before you go to bed and listen to it right before you fall asleep. If you have time also listen to it first thing upon waking. Do this for at least 21 days consistently so that positive change can take affect in your life.
