Описание: Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? What happens to you when you can t walk for a year? have sex? smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour? To answer these questions, space agencies set up all manner of quizzical and startlingly bizarre space simulations. As Mary Roach discovers, it s possible to preview space without ever leaving Earth. From the space shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA s new space capsule (cadaver filling in for astronaut), Roach takes us on a surreally entertaining trip into the science of life in space and space on Earth.
Описание: In this book of Creative Non-Fiction based on the author's own life experience and extensive research, Love tells the story of an Idaho Territorial Legend in the first book length treatment of Peg Leg Annie's life. Thousands of lines of prose were written of this legend but all have shared common errors and were redundant in context. Love's research and knowledge obtained through Annie's descendants and the author's ancestor reveal the hardships, and tragedies, of a 'Fallen Angels' spiritual resolve to survive and become an entrepreneur of her time. Love lays to rest the elusive identities of her long-term mate as well as Dutch Em, who shared her tragic trek over Mt. Baldy in 1896.

Описание:
Somewhere along the way in life, you start to listen to that little voice. We are all on this journey together, growing, learning, and changing. As I stood in the kitchen of my dream home, looking out on the still water of the pond, I cried. Warm, salty tears streamed down my face as I told myself I could do this. "Just start with one box; don't get overwhelmed. Pack one box; stay focused." I started packing Grandma's china first. As I packed the china set, a flood of memories came of the countless times I had carefully wrapped up each piece and placed them into the box. It was at that moment that I decided to write about this beautiful set of china, all the experiences and lessons I have learned along my journey. It is through my grandmother's journey that I have found my own strength and freedom. Twenty years and thirteen moves later, the china is the only set of dishes I own. When was the last time you used your china? What are you waiting for? Don't leave it locked up, waiting for a special occasion. Make today the special occasion you have been waiting for.
In loving memory of my Grandma, Veronica Billetz (January 13, 1922-December 13, 2009)
