A century ago very few people dreamed of space travel. Today it is the most daring and technologically sophisticated quest ever undertaken, being driven not just by government agencies such as NASA and ESA, but also by visionaries such as Richard Branson (Virgin Galactic), Elon Musk (SpaceX) and Jeff Bezos (Blue Origin). To mark the 50th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, this major drama-documentary series charts the definitive story of the past, present and future of humankind’s exploration of space. The Space Race is narrated by Kate Mulgrew and features a full cast.

Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context. This volume is a doorway into a captivating world.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 147
Founded by Augustus around 27 BC, the elite Praetorian Guard was tasked with the protection of the emperor and his family. As the centuries unfolded, however, Praetorian soldiers served not only as protectors and enforcers but also as powerful political players. Fiercely loyal to some emperors, they vied with others and ruthlessly toppled those who displeased them, including Caligula, Nero, Pertinax, and many more. Guy de la Bédoyère provides a compelling first full narrative history of the Praetorians.

Here is a bold, new account of the lives and ideas of the great economists - Adam Smith, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, Ludwig von Mises, Milton Friedman, and many others - all written by a top free-market economist and presented in an entertaining and persuasive style. Professor Mark Skousen tells a powerful story of economics with dozens of anecdotes of the great economic thinkers.

A Libertarian Economist Rant!
Revisado: 06-09-17
Author uses descriptors like "good" and "bad" to describe ideas in a way I find obnoxious. I was looking for more of an even handed overview. The bias was extreme. The first couple chapters were good but I couldn't finish the whole audio-book.
I think the title and description of the book misrepresented the subject. I thought I would be more of a survey of early economists and their ideas. But it turned out to be Mr Skousen glorifying some economists and savagely attacking those he disagreed with. Ok, I get it. You don't like Marx. Not as a writer, thinker, not as a person. And you look down on your students if they show interest in Marx. Ok, cool down. Be prepared for several chapters on this subject. It seemed a large part of the book is devoted to this. More than about Smith, perhaps.
I should have researched the author more. He is pretty far out there, friend of Rudy Giuliani. Recommended by the Ayn Rand Institute.
I am enjoying "Economics" from Timothy Taylor of the Great Courses on Audible.

The human race is at a crossroads. In the coming years, we will make decisions regarding our human spaceflight program that will lead to one of two familiar futures: the open universe of Star Trek, where we allow ourselves the opportunity to spread our wings and attempt to flourish as an interplanetary species - or the closed, dystopian, and ultimately self-destructive world of Soylent Green. If we ever hope to live in the future that is the former scenario, our first stepping stone must be a manned mission to Mars.

An angry critisism of NASA and Obama
Revisado: 03-05-13
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I was hoping for a book about colonizing Mars. About 1/3 is devoted to excoriating NASA. The first 1/3 is about a plan for getting to Mars efficiently and I was glad to hear it. But the rest: meh.
Do you think Mars Direct needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Mr Zubrin sounds more like right wing ideologue than a scientist.
