How was she going to pull off the biggest acting challenge imaginable―and would her memories ever return?Ghost Boy meets What Alice Forgot in this amazing true story of a woman who lost herself and tried to fight her way back on her own―but who found unexpected beauty in hope, faith, and second chances.

  As NASA prepared for the launch of Apollo 11 in July 1969, many African American leaders protested the billions of dollars used to fund "space joyrides" rather than help tackle poverty, inequality, and discrimination at home. This volume examines such tensions as well as the ways in which NASA's goal of space exploration aligned with the cause of racial equality. It provides new insights into the complex relationship between the space program and the civil rights movement in the Jim Crow South and abroad. 
   
   
   
  Essays explore how thousands of jobs created during the space race offered new opportunities for minorities in places like Huntsville, Alabama, while at the same time segregation at NASA's satellite tracking station in South Africa led to that facility's closure. Other topics include black skepticism toward NASA's framing of space exploration as "for the benefit of all mankind," NASA's track record in hiring women and minorities, and the efforts of black activists to increase minority access to education that would lead to greater participation in the space program. The volume also addresses how to best find and preserve archival evidence of African American contributions that are missing from narratives of space exploration.

  Neural Science - Understanding...

  These three titles are included in this 3-in-1 bundle: 
  1 - The ability for the brain to encode, store, and recall information is known as memory. Experience serves as a roadmap for future action. 
  Memory includes both consciously recalled facts and experienced details as well as deeply embedded knowledge that pops up without thought or even awareness. It serves as both a temporary information storage space and a more lasting record of what has been learned. Scientists have identified several different types of memory, including episodic, semantic, procedural, working, sensory, and prospective memory. 
  From the vivid memories of episodic memory to the practical knowledge of procedural memory, each type of memory has a specific purpose. 
  2 - Your subconscious is a priceless potential repository of information, insight, and wisdom. But the majority of us never use that talent to its fullest. 
  Using hypnosis, you can access your subconscious. You can communicate with it immediately when under hypnosis. This can assist you in obtaining important knowledge and bringing about positive changes in your life. 
  Your subconscious is the area of your mind that generally escapes your awareness yet has a significant impact on how you live. 
  For instance, your subconscious has a role in controlling such essential bodily processes as breathing and heartbeat. 
  3 - The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields. 
  Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons.
