  The bar was high after the glorious reign of the Sun King. Louis XV, his successor, had a difficult time driving the country through religious disputes, intellectual shifts and economical hardness. This eventually led to a steep economic decline, which played an important role in the reaction of the French people against the monarchy, and eventually gave way to the French Revolution. This collection of audiobooks will help you understand a crucial part of the history of French monarchy. For each King, you will find a detailed description of the style of his reign and his political achievements, narrated in a lively way.

  Mercury and Gemini: The History...

  The successful Apollo 11 mission was certainly an astonishing technological triumph, but what is less well remembered now are that many programs preceded Apollo and were essential to its success. Project Mercury was one of those, and in many ways it represented the greatest step forward in terms of the conquest of space. Before Project Mercury, there was no certainty that a human could survive the rigors of a space launch or live outside Earth’s atmosphere. There was no agreement on just what an astronaut should be, and various individuals involved debated whether they should be pilots, technicians, scientists, or even merely observers in an automated craft. Before Project Mercury, no one was entirely certain what a rocket capable of taking a person into space would look like, or even whether building such a craft was within the capabilities of engineering in the 1950s. 
  Gemini also marked another important milestone as America finally surpassed the Soviet Union in space technology. Before Gemini, the US was playing a desperate game of catch-up as it attempted to match Soviet accomplishments. The last Project Mercury flight launched in May 1963, and before then, Russia had put the first satellite in Earth’s orbit and the first man in space and had followed these with longer flights than the tiny Mercury spacecraft. In terms of military significance, it was recognized that the ability to dominate space was very important, and to many people in America, it seemed that Russia was well on the way to doing this. No one could have guessed that it would be almost three years before the next American manned space flight occurred when Gemini 3 left the launch pad in March 1965. It seemed to many people that the Russian lead in space exploration had become unassailable and, in order to reestablish the credibility of the US space program, the Gemini flights simply had to succeed.

  Japan Discovered - A Guide to...

  Annie Atlas

  • 0

  Most books about Japan will tell you what to see. This one tells you what you're actually looking at.
   
  
   
  Japan runs on a set of invisible rules — social, philosophical, historical — that most visitors never learn exist. The silence in a boardroom means something has gone wrong. The vending machine on a mountain trail makes perfect sense once you understand the culture. The word for a feeling you've had your whole life but never had a name for. Japan Discovered is the guide that explains it all.
   
  
   
  The ancient belief that household tools develop a soul after a hundred years of use still quietly shapes how objects are treated in modern Japanese homes. Millions of Japanese families eat fried chicken every Christmas Eve — a tradition that says more about how Japan absorbs outside influences and makes them entirely its own than any guidebook chapter on "Japanese culture" ever could.
   
  
   
  The book covers the philosophy of wabi-sabi and what it reveals about the Japanese relationship with imperfection and time. It covers tatemae and honne — the gap between public face and private truth that shapes every professional and personal interaction in the country. It covers the shokunin tradition of craft mastery and what it genuinely feels like to navigate a society never designed with outsiders in mind.
   
  
   
  Inside, you will also find:
  
  Essential Japanese phrases with full pronunciation guides
  Cultural concepts — wabi-sabi, amae, gaman, omotenashi — explained in plain English
  A curated reading, film, and music list for going deeper
  A practical packing and etiquette guide for first-time visitors
  
   
  
   
  For the reader who wants to understand a place, not just pass through it.
