  Race to the Moon The: The...

  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. 
  	In fact, the Soviet Union had spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). President Eisenhower and other Americans who could view Soviet rockets in the sky were justifiably worried that Soviet satellites in orbit could soon be spying on them, or, even worse, dropping nuclear bombs on them. And in 1960, when Eisenhower’s administration began planning and funding for the famous Apollo program that would land the first men on the Moon in 1969, the Soviet Union was already thinking further ahead to Mars. 
  	During the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on the Apollo missions, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and even though Apollo 11 was only one of almost 20 Apollo missions, it was certainly the crown jewel. only one of nearly 20 Apollo missions conducted by NASA. And to make Apollo 11 a success, it would take nearly a decade of planning by government officials, hard work by NASA scientists, intense training by the astronauts, and several missions preceding Apollo 11. It also cost over $20 billion, making the Apollo program the most expensive peacetime program in American history at the time.

  Enemy of the People - How Jacob...

  He swore to serve the people, but Jacob Zuma robbed us blind. 
  This is the first definitive account of Zuma’s catastrophic misrule, offering eyewitness descriptions and cogent analysis of how South Africa was brought to its knees – and how the people fought back.  
  When Jacob Zuma took power of the ANC in December 2007, he inherited a country whose economy was growing and a party that had the support of two-thirds of the electorate. Today, South Africa is caught in the grip of state capture, the economy is moribund and a divided ANC is staring down the barrel of defeat at the 2019 elections. How did we get here? 
  Zuma ruthlessly brought his party to heel, subduing and isolating his political opponents. Then he built a patronage network of family, friends and business associates – powerful, corruptible political tenderpreneurs – who stopped at nothing to take control of state institutions and enterprises. State capture became Zuma’s brand – a maze of corruption so far-reaching that it has replaced many parts of government, causing irreparable damage to institutions, state enterprises, and the ANC itself.  
  But it hasn’t all gone Zuma’s way. In a new era of activism, former political allies, public-minded civil servants, the media and the people have stepped forward to join the anti-Zuma groundswell. In the courts, too, the pressure has mounted against a bad president, who has become an enemy of the people. 
  As a deeply divided ANC squares off for the party’s conference in December, journalists Adriaan Basson and Pieter du Toit offer an insightful, up-to-the-minute account of the Zuma era.

  Epictetus Enchiridion Pocket...

  House of Stoicism

  You have heard that Stoicism helps people stay steady. Then you open the handbook and find short, stern lines that are hard to carry into a crowded train or a tense meeting.
  
  This companion to the Enchiridion follows Epictetus through his life in order. He begins as an enslaved boy in Hierapolis and ends as a banished teacher in Nicopolis. Each chapter pairs one true scene with one teaching from the handbook, given as an honest paraphrase or a line from an early public-domain translation. A warm narrator then carries that teaching into a modern day. You learn the dichotomy of control by applying it to a real situation, and every chapter closes with a single practice you can try before the day is out.
  
  The chapters are short and steady, built for a walk or a commute. Press play on your next trip and let a former slave show you where your freedom actually lives.

  An unseen industry profits every time your pulse spikes. News alerts, open office plans, and endless social feeds keep your nervous system locked in fight-or-flight while telling you it is just modern life. Anxiety rates climb year after year and most people either medicate the symptoms or try to power through. Neither path works for long.  
   
  The Anxious Nation exposes how daily environments hijack biology and explains why classic advice misses the mark. You will learn to spot the digital and physical cues that push your stress circuits into overdrive, create nervous-system sanctuaries that let your brain switch back to rest-and-recover mode, and apply rapid techniques that convert racing thoughts into clear focus within minutes.  
   
  Inside you will discover: A three-step audit to trace panic spikes to their real triggers Simple breathing and sensory drills that shift the body from survival to calm in ninety seconds Daily boundaries that cut cortisol levels without quitting your job or moving off-grid The excitement reframe that turns dread into usable performance energy A system for redesigning work, relationships, and tech use so calm becomes your default setting No jargon, no platitudes, only tools tested by people who reclaimed their evenings, their sleep, and their creative power.  
   
  You cannot silence every headline or notification, but you can decide what your nervous system does with them. Read, apply, and start choosing calm in a culture that sells panic.
