Editorial Review Product Description William B. Scott is a retired Rocky Mountain bureau chief for Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine and a former U.S. Air Force flight-test engineer. He served with the National Security Agency and as aircrew on nuclear sampling missions. Michael J. Coumatos is a former U.S. Navy test pilot, the former U.S. Space Command director of wargaming, and a former National Security Agency counterterrorism adviser. With the help of bestselling author William J. Birnes, these renowned experts have joined forces to grippingly depict how the first hours of World War III might play out in the year 2010. Coumatos and Scott take the reader inside U.S. Strategic Command, where top military commanders, space-company executives, and U.S. intelligence experts are conducting a DEADSATS II wargame, exploring how the loss of critical satellites could lead to nuclear war. The gamers don’t know that the war they are playing has already begun, miles above them, in the lifeless, silent cold of space. Jam-packed with the actual systems and secret technologies the United States has or will soon field to protect its assets, Space Wars describes a near-future nuclear nightmare that terrorists will relish but politicians prefer to ignore. In a quieter, more peaceful time, Space Wars would be an exciting work of fiction. But with the United States now at war, Space Wars is all too real. Customer Reviews (28)

Fantastic
Hope and renewal amid inner city rubble and ruin
Inspirational -- pun intended.
Remarkable book, by an even more remarkable person
Sacred space Neumark recalls some of her difficulties with her own spiritual practices.Drawing on the advice of spiritual masters of the past to incorporate distractions rather than attempting to block them out, she would try to add the stress to her prayer life as a working component -- however, when weapons fire seemed to ricochet every time she went to pray, it became difficult if not impossible. In the face of all the difficulties, there was hope and renewal at Transfiguration.Neumark shares the stories of many parishioners, as well as her own internal struggles and personal experiences, that show the way the spirit of God is alive and active even in the worst of conditions.Neumark highlights the irony of the situation at times -- in the South Bronx, there is plenty of money for state-of-the-art prisons, and keeping juveniles in the system is big business, but the money for education and real plans for improvement is non-existent.This kind of societal choice in the face of residents can be demoralising, to say the least.And yet, at Transfiguration, there are elements of hope, determination for outreach and care to address the issues that the governmental powers neglect. Quite often, those helped by the church were not church members themsevles.Transfiguration being an urban church, Neumark was frequently approached by those in need, looking for any available help.Milly, a young woman who suffered from the asthma so many bear in the area, was one such person, whose connections with Neumark and the congregation provided a much-needed space for Milly to turn her life in a positive direction.Like many things in the urban church, change was slow and often painful, but Milly (and many others) relied on the church. The stories are difficult to read, difficult to understand in a human sense.But the spirit that pervades Neumark's work is a joy to behold.Read with care, and read with prayer. ... Read more |
68. Riding Rockets: The Outrageous Tales of a Space Shuttle Astronaut by Mike Mullane | |

list price: US$15.00 -- used & new: US$6.00 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: B000WMKK9W Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Mullane's tales of arrested development among military flyboys working with feminist pioneers and post-doc scientists are sometimes bawdy, often comical, and always entertaining. He vividly portrays every aspect of the astronaut experience, from telling a female technician which urine-collection condom size is a fit to hearing "Taps" played over a friend's grave. He is also brutally honest in his criticism of a NASA leadership whose bungling would precipitate the Challenger disaster -- killing four members of his group. A hilarious, heartfelt story of life in all its fateful uncertainty, Riding Rockets will resonate long after the call of "Wheel stop." Customer Reviews (89)

Editorial Review Product Description A Space on the Side of the Road vividly evokes an "other" America that survives precariously among the ruins of the West Virginia coal camps and "hollers." To Kathleen Stewart, this particular "other" exists as an excluded subtext to the American narrative of capitalism, modernization, materialism, and democracy. In towns like Amigo, Red Jacket, Helen, Odd, Viper, Decoy, and Twilight, men and women "just settin'" track a dense social imaginary through stories of traumas, apparitions, encounters, and eccentricities. Stewart explores how this rhythmic, dramatic, and complicated storytelling imbues everyday life in the hills and forms a cultural poetics. Alternating her own ruminations on language, culture, and politics with continuous accounts of "just talk," Stewart propels us into the intensity of this nervous, surreal "space on the side of the road." It is a space that gives us a glimpse into a breach in American society itself, where graveyards of junked cars and piles of other trashed objects endure along with the memories that haunt those who have been left behind by "progress." Like James Agee's portrayal of the poverty-stricken tenant farmers of the Depression South in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, this book uses both language and photographs to help readers encounter a fragmented and betrayed community, one "occupied" by schoolteachers, doctors, social workers, and other professionals representing an "official" America. Holding at bay any attempts at definitive, social scientific analysis, Stewart has concocted a new sort of ethnographic writing that conveys the immediacy, density, texture, and materiality of the coal camps. A Space on the Side of the Road finally bridges the gap between anthropology and cultural studies and provides us with a brilliant and challenging experiment in thinking and writing about "America."

This book is excellent
Pretentious post-structuralist jargon
Brilliant and Challenging
pretention and distance When you describe people as living in a 'phantasmogoric dreamworld' and 'an alternative narrative space,' you are assigning another KIND of meaning -- one even more problematic than that of more traditional approaches. In the end, the book creates more distance between the reader and rural West Virginians than had previously existed. Kathleen Stewart may well believe that this is the role or the inevitable outcome of ethnography. If so, I hope she'll stay the hell away from my home state.
Unamerican Nightmares Byavoiding leftist reified and conservative discourse, the impact of theseforces on ordinary people is relayed in a humane and grounded fashion,devoid of meta-theoretical abstractions, which preserves their dignity andshares their insights.Kathleen's imaginative and empathetic approachcannot be too highly commended, for it is this which ultimately provokes ananger that working people should be treated with such disdain, by middleclass academics as well as by capital. ...

Spiritual Enlightenment
Make space for this book in your life!
Draws me gently into prayer I particularly recommend this book for anyone who is feeling hesitant about God or the church or who has become jaded toward a lot of what they hear from the church and Christians, but who is not quite ready to throw in the towel.This is a beautiful gentle book that will help open your heart to God if you let it.I have found that despite a great deal of hesitation about many "things religious," I can usually only read a page or two of this book at a time, because as I begin to read I feel a tremendous desire to pray and connect with God, and I abandon this book in favor of prayer.I think this is as it was intended to be. The formatting of the book is very helpful.It has very large margins and lots of space around the quotes, which facilitates writing and/or journaling directly in the book.I've found it very helpful to write my reflections into the book as I go along, and have found there to be ample room for this.I also like the way there is a lot of art interspersed with text.There are times when I just can't read "religious" text, but can look at a Van Gogh painting and allow God to speak to me through it. Overall, I highly recommend this to both those who are struggling but drawn to God, and those who are deeply committed to the daily practice of the Christian faith.
Worth adding to your personal library. |
