An all-encompassing look at the history and enduring impact of the Apollo space program In Apollo's Legacy, space historian Roger D. Launius explores the many-faceted stories told about the meaning of the Apollo program and how it forever altered American society. The Apollo missions marked the first time human beings left Earth's orbit and visited another world, and thus they loom large in our collective memory. Many have detailed the exciting events of the Apollo program, but Launius offers unique insight into its legacy as seen through multiple perspectives. He surveys a wide range of viewpoints and narratives, both positive and negative, surrounding the program. These include the argument that Apollo epitomizes American technological--and political--progress; technological and scientific advances garnered from the program; critiques from both sides of the political spectrum about the program's expenses; and even conspiracy theories and denials of the program's very existence. Throughout the book, Launius weaves in stories from important moments in Apollo's history to draw readers into his analysis. Apollo's Legacy is a must-read for space buffs interested in new angles on a beloved cultural moment and those seeking a historic perspective on the Apollo program.

Some might think that the 27 thousand tons of material launched by earthlings into outer space is nothing more than floating piles of debris. However, when looking at these artifacts through the eyes of historians and anthropologists, instead of celestial pollution, they are seen as links to human history and heritage.Space: The New Frontier for Ar

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, humanity's fascination with the stars has driven us to explore the unknown, to reach for the heavens, and to push the boundaries of our knowledge and imagination. It is within this spirit of wonder and curiosity that the book "Mysteries of Space: Science, Technology, and Adventure" is born. As we embark on this literary journey, we find ourselves venturing into the captivating realms of space exploration, interstellar mysteries, and the potential for life beyond our pale blue dot. This book serves as a gui-de, illuminating the extraordinary achievements and profound questions that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos. Chapter by chapter, we traverse the annals of space history, from the earliest observations of celestial wonders by ancient astronomers to the audacious mis-sions that have sent humanity soaring among the stars. We explore the fascinating tapestry of our universe's evolution, from the birth of galaxies and stars to the cataclysmic forces that shape celestial phenomena. Venturing further, we contemplate the paradoxical question of our cosmic loneliness – the enigmatic Fermi Paradox – and the tantalizing search for extraterrestrial intelligence. We delve into the prospects of interplanetary human settlements, where humanity's ingenuity and determination to establish colonies beyond Earth are met with both excitement and challenges. Amidst these endeavors, we encounter the visio-nary concept of space mining, a future where celestial bodies provide a bounty of resources to sustain our exploration and shape the destiny of our species. We also glimpse the advent of commercial space travel and space tourism, where the wonders of space are no lon-ger confined to the realm of astronauts but made accessible to adventurers from all walks of life. Throughout these pages, we find that the pursuit of space exploration is not merely an endeavor of science and technology but an odyssey that resonates with the very essence of human curiosity, unity, and resilience. It is a journey that reminds us of our boundless potential and the limitless possibilities that await us among the stars. As we turn each page, we invite you to embark on a voyage that transcends the boundaries of our world, where the wonders of the universe unfold before our eyes. Let us marvel at the cosmic ballet of galaxies, witness the birth and death of stars, and contemplate the profound mysteries that continue to elude us.

Women and Gender in Jewish Philosophy is the first systematic attempt to interpret the Jewish philosophical tradition in light of feminist philosophy and to engage feminist philosophy from the perspective of Jewish philosophy. Written by Jewish women who are trained in philosophy, the 13 original essays presented here demonstrate that no analysis of Jewish philosophy (historical or constructive) can be adequate without attention to gender categories. The essays cover the entire Jewish philosophic tradition from Philo, through Maimonides, to Levinas, and they rethink the subdisciplines of Jewish philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political theory, and theology. This volume offers an invitation for a new conversation between feminist philosophy and Jewish philosophy as well as a novel contribution to contemporary Jewish philosophy. Contributors are Leora Batnitzky, Jean Axelrad Cahan, Idit Dobbs-Weinstein, Claire Elise Katz, Nancy Levene, Sandra B. Lubarsky, Sarah Pessin, Randi Rashkover, Heidi Miriam Ravven, T. M. Rudavsky, Suzanne Last Stone, Hava Tirosh-Samuelson, and Laurie Zoloth.

Already in the century before photography's emergence as a mass medium, a diverse popular visual culture had risen to challenge the British literary establishment. The bourgeois fashion for new visual media - from prints and illustrated books to theatrical spectacles and panoramas - rejected high. Romantic concepts of original genius and the sublime in favor of mass-produced images and the thrill of realistic effects. In response, the literary elite declared the new visual media an offense to Romantic idealism. 'Simulations of nature,' Coleridge declared, are 'loathsome' and 'disgusting.' The Shock of the Real offers a tour of Romantic visual culture, from the West End stage to the tourist-filled Scottish Highlands, from the panoramas of Leicester Square to the photography studios of Second Empire Paris. But in presenting the relation between word and image in the late Georgian age as a form of culture war, the author also proposes an alternative account of Romantic aesthetic ideology - as a reaction not against the rationalism of the Enlightenment but against the visual media age being born.

From the reviews: "...I enjoyed the historical descriptions of the contributions of the early rocket pioneers Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Robert Goddard, and Wernher von Braun, as well as the American and Russian manned programs...The book is aimed at the science-literate public, although the material varies in level of detail." (George D. Nelson, PHYSICS TODAY, June 2005)
