Sinopsis

'High-Stakes Missions' offers a compelling exploration of history's most challenging military and civilian operations, weaving together the intricate planning and execution of high-risk missions across space exploration, military rescue operations, and civilian emergency responses. Through meticulous analysis of declassified documents and firsthand accounts, the book reveals the delicate balance between risk assessment and operational success that defines these extraordinary undertakings.

 
The narrative progresses through three distinct sections, beginning with space exploration missions like the Apollo program and Space Shuttle operations, where readers witness NASA's approach to crisis management during events such as the Apollo 13 incident. The military section examines fascinating operations including the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege and the 2018 Thai cave rescue, showcasing how tactical planning and split-second decisions shape mission outcomes. The final section bridges these learnings to civilian emergency responses, demonstrating how military and space protocols influence modern rescue operations.

 
What sets this book apart is its comprehensive approach to analyzing high-stakes operations through both technical and human lenses. Using mission timelines, risk assessment matrices, and detailed case studies, it provides readers with practical insights into operational procedures while maintaining an engaging narrative style. The book serves as both a historical record and a practical guide, making complex operational concepts accessible to military history enthusiasts and professionals in high-risk fields alike.

    Learn how to make sure you get the correct Social Security benefits, avoid frightening clawbacks, and how to deal with the opaque bureaucracy of Social Security. 
     
     
     
    Social Security admits it has made $21.6 billion in incorrect benefits payments! Now it wants its money back—from widows, orphans, retired schoolteachers, and even young children whose parents received disability benefits on their behalf. 
     
     
     
    Often with no explanation, they send threatening letters clawing back amounts ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $100,000. The clawback notices all carry the threat that benefits will be stopped immediately if a repayment plan is not set. 
     
     
     
    But it's almost impossible to get an explanation, the records, or an appointment for a resolution of these clawback demands. It could happen to you—or to someone you love. 
     
     
     
    We wrote this book to help you and let you know you're not alone. We are also working to pressure Congress and the Treasury Secretary to prevent these intimidating clawback interactions that impact our most vulnerable citizens.

    Scobie Donoghue was once the king of the weekend. His twenties were spent working hard and playing harder. A lovable rogue, the lads wanted to be him and the girls wanted to be with him.
    But now, about to turn forty and returning to his small midlands hometown, Scobie is back in his childhood bed, single, burnt out and depressed. The life he thought he had left behind has moved on – but has he?
    Going Back, Eugene O'Brien's heartwarming debut novel, continues the story of hit TV series Pure Mule, capturing the whole world in one Irish town: the highs and the lows, from addiction and mental-health issues to love and redemption.
    It will take some time and a lot of soul-searching, but maybe Scobie Donoghue is finally ready to grow up.
    'I was delighted to get reacquainted with Scobie Donoghue. This is a timely book, engaging and entertaining. It lifts the lid on and exposes the underbelly of the disenfranchised in a community that has been pulled apart since the heady days of the Celtic Tiger.' Liz Nugent

    In the Lion's Den draws on the unique perspective of a man who has spent his entire career in his nation's public service. Danon shares his experiences on the front lines of Israel's global presence—the successes as well as the disappointments.

    In this book, Danon lays out a roadmap for Israel’s future on the regional and global stage and outlines the path Israel must follow in order to continue to make a positive contribution to global prosperity and peace and ensure its safety in a fraught region. As the Jewish state enters the next phase of its existence, Danon's inspiring vision will help Israel fulfill the noble vision of its founders.

    An entertaining and insightful exploration of the American ex-religious 
     
     
     
    The United States is in the midst of a religious revolution. Or, perhaps it is better to say a non-religious revolution. Around a quarter of US adults now say they have no religion. The great majority of these religious "nones" also say that they used to belong to a religion but no longer do. These are the nonverts: think "converts," but from having religion to having none. There are currently about fifty-nine million of them in the United States. 
     
     
     
    Nonverts explores who they are, and why they joined the rising tide of the ex-religious. One of world's leading experts on contemporary atheism and nonreligiosity, sociologist and theologian Stephen Bullivant draws on dozens of interviews, original analysis of high-quality survey data, and a wealth of cutting-edge studies, to present an entertaining and insightful exploration of America's ex-religious landscape. Bullivant crisscrosses the country, talking to everyone from ex-Mormons in Utah to ex-Catholics in Pennsylvania, from ex-Evangelicals in Georgia to ex-Muslims in California, showing not only what they have in common but also how the traditions they left behind continue to shape them.
