Called "spellbinding" (Scientific American) and "thrilling...a future classic of popular science" (PW), the up close, inside story of the greatest space exploration project of our time, New Horizons’ mission to Pluto, as shared with David Grinspoon by mission leader Alan Stern and other key players. On July 14, 2015, something amazing happened. More than 3 billion miles from Earth, a small NASA spacecraft called New Horizons screamed past Pluto at more than 32,000 miles per hour, focusing its instruments on the long mysterious icy worlds of the Pluto system, and then, just as quickly, continued on its journey out into the beyond. Nothing like this has occurred in a generation—a raw exploration of new worlds unparalleled since NASA’s Voyager missions to Uranus and Neptune—and nothing quite like it is planned to happen ever again. The photos that New Horizons sent back to Earth graced the front pages of newspapers on all 7 continents, and NASA’s website for the mission received more than 2 billion hits in the days surrounding the flyby. At a time when so many think that our most historic achievements are in the past, the most distant planetary exploration ever attempted not only succeeded in 2015 but made history and captured the world’s imagination. How did this happen? Chasing New Horizons is the story of the men and women behind this amazing mission: of their decades-long commitment and persistence; of the political fights within and outside of NASA; of the sheer human ingenuity it took to design, build, and fly the mission; and of the plans for New Horizons’ next encounter, 1 billion miles past Pluto in 2019. Told from the insider’s perspective of mission leader Dr. Alan Stern and others on New Horizons, and including two stunning 16-page full-color inserts of images, Chasing New Horizons is a riveting account of scientific discovery, and of how much we humans can achieve when people focused on a dream work together toward their incredible goal.

Excerpt from Towards New Horizons One of the most painful features of the present time is the feeling of confusion in men's minds. In the midst of deadly international strife the very earth beneath the combatants seems to be shaking as though it were undermined for, although the British worker fights the German worker in the trenches, there is a feeling abroad that only a slight shifting of the wind of passion is needed to set German and British worker against German and British ruling class. It is at present no more than a premonition of possibilities, yet, when the Russian Cadet plays into the hands of the German Junker, and the Soviet Government calls on the German proletariat to make common cause against both, we know that a class war is already emerging where before only a race war had been apparent. We fight, both Allies and Central Powers, on sea and land, but also, and not as mere super-worms of the trenches, in the earth beneath. We fight also in the clouds, for from an entirely different realm, neither political nor economic, there comes yet another challenge.

This fascinating biography of Pierre Jeanniot is much more than a portrait of the man who was at the helm of Air Canada and of the aviation industry: it is a compelling case study of how a business man is born and goes on to achieve financial success, social status, and political sway. The young Jeanniot learned to survive during the bombing of Rome, the occupation of France and as a witness to the Resistance in the Jura Mountains. The 1963 Sainte-Thérèse air tragedy, together with the threat of finding himself jobless, inspired him to create the famous data flight recorder, or 'black box.' Under his direction, Air Canada chose the Airbus rather than the Boeing to renew its fleet, in the midst of a highly visible political crisis. Against all odds, Jeanniot also orchestrated the successful privatization of the airline. His visionary speech in Amman, delivered while he was at the helm of the International Air Transport Association, laid out modern aviation's most urgent priorities in accident prevention, environmental protection and technological progress. A master of logistics, he successfully negotiated the restart of air travel in the aftermath of 9/11. Book jacket.

On the surface Christianity and Zen Buddhism can appear to be worlds apart, even antithetical. Christianity affirms the reality of the Tri-personal God and the eternal salvation of mortal human beings; Zen denies both the existence of God and the soul. Yet Thomas Merton, the Catholic spiritual master, and D. T. Suzuki, the famous teacher of Zen, engaged in an extensive dialogue and found ways of mutually affirming shared meanings of God and person that each regarded to be true. This book explores that dialogue within the larger context of Merton’s attraction to Buddhism and considers the implications of their achievement for contemporary theologies of religious pluralism.

In 1974, Sidney Andrews, a wife of fifteen years and a mother to three wonderful children, had a life envied by most. But when a stranger suddenly entered her perfect world, there was no way to predict the thunderous and devastating storm that would follow. Sidneys once picture-perfect life was about to unravel. In her compelling memoir, Sidney shares a nontraditional and provocative love story that details the prejudice and judgment that surfaced within her family and community when two married women courageously walked out of the shadows to expose their sexual preference and love for each other during a time when homosexuality was rarely discussedlet alone embraced. After being threatened, shunned, and ultimately rejected because she no longer fit into the stereotype that society demanded, Sidney faced a choiceto be ruled by trepidation and guilt or to instead, welcome her authentic, new love with open arms and a forgiving heart. A Fall to New Heights offers a glimpse into one womans poignant, thirty-seven-year journey from the darkest corners of her mind to realizing the strength of her spirit and freedom from living a life filled with fear.
