  What is the future of food? A radical look at how the food we eat affects the humans we are. 
  Read by Woody Harrelson. 
  Farmacy was founded by Camilla Fayed in 2016 with the mission to serve transformational food that offers a different future. Moved by the conviction that food can speak to every major crisis facing humanity, Farmacy collaborates with an array of initiatives that support food system transformation, radical human health and the cultivation of personal sovereignty. Manifesto on the Future of Food is the first title by Farmacy Publishing. 
  Farmacy demands a food revolution. With our bodies ailing and our mental health straining, humanity needs a radically different way of eating and farming. Tracing a path from the health of the soil to the health of human beings, Farmacy highlights how food is the connecting agent between our mental, physical and planetary wellbeing. 
  This audio edition of Farmacy’s Manifesto on the Future of Food is a collaboration between researchers, artists and writers, analysing the interconnected topics of soil ecology, industrial agriculture, the medicinal qualities of food, the gut-brain axis and regeneration, charting a bold path towards the renewal of our civilisation. 
  Profits from the sale of this audiobook go to the Farmacy Foundation, which invests in farms and educational initiatives that regenerate soil and empower people to transform their health.

  Grace Brewster Hopper (December 9, 1906 to January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. A pioneer of computer programming, Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages and used this theory to develop the FLOW-MATIC programming language and COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. She is credited with writing the first computer manual, "A Manual of Operation for the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator." The following audio recording is from a 1982 presentation.

  Reaching the Moon: The History...

  The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
  At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.
