In her role, she went above and beyond to provide comfort, aid, and unwavering reassurance to mothers in their birthing moments.

It's a testament to the strength, resilience, and the incredible bond that forms between midwives and the women they serve. Through this book, readers will gain a deep appreciation for the transformative power of compassionate care during one of life's most extraordinary experiences.

  After Apollo: The History of...

  Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration.  
  Space exploration was always an expensive business, and throughout NASA’s history, the agency has had to justify to Congress its need for every dollar it intended to spend. This problem has helped NASA to be more careful and more creative with the money they did receive, and scientists had to justify the equipment they wanted to include on each space probe. They had to justify the size and the power demand, too. If they wanted too much, the entire mission might be scrubbed, and all their work would have been for naught. This made planning and designs leaner and more efficient, as scientists and engineers were more careful with their recommendations. 
  Although Apollo 11’s successful mission to the Moon is seen as the culmination of the Space Race, and the Apollo program remains NASA’s most famous, one of the space agency’s most successful endeavors came a few years later. In fact, the Pioneer program was the most diversified sequence of any of NASA’s programs, and though they’re now remembered for being among the first probes in history to reach the Outer Solar System, the elaborate planning changed goals several times over several years before resulting in historic successes.

  Look Smart, Listen Smart: A Listener’s Guide to Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time is a clear, confidence-building companion to one of the most famous — and most challenging — popular science books ever written. 
  Stephen Hawking’s classic asks some of the biggest questions imaginable: Did the universe have a beginning? What is time? Why do black holes matter? Can physics explain the whole of reality? This guide helps listeners understand the structure, ideas, and importance of Hawking’s book before committing to the full work. 
  Written for curious non-specialists, it explains relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the expanding universe, the arrow of time, wormholes, and the search for a unified theory in plain, intelligent language. It is not a substitute for Hawking’s original, but a serious orientation to it — showing what each chapter does, why the ideas matter, and whether the book is likely to suit you. 
  Ideal for audiobook listeners, students, science lovers, and thoughtful readers who want to approach difficult books with more confidence, Look Smart, Listen Smart helps you listen deeper, understand faster, and get more from a landmark work of modern science.
