The space shuttle Columbia disintegrated 37 miles above Texas, seven brave astronauts were killed and America's space program, always an eyeblink from disaster, suffered its second catastrophic in-flight failure. Unlike the Challenger disaster 17 years earlier, Columbia's destruction left the nation one failure away from the potential abandonment of human space exploration. Media coverage in the immediate aftermath focused on the possible cause of the disaster, and on the nation's grief. But the full human story, and the shocking details of NASA's crucial mistakes, have never been told -- until now. Based on dozens of exclusive interviews, never-before-published documents and recordings of key meetings obtained by the authors, Comm Check takes the reader inside the conference rooms and offices where NASA's best and brightest managed the nation's multi-billion-dollar shuttle program -- and where they failed to recognize the signs of an impending disaster. It is the story of a space program pushed to the brink of failure by relentless political pressure, shrinking budgets and flawed decision making. The independent investigation into the disaster uncovered why Columbia broke apart in the sky above Texas. Comm Check brings that story to life with the human drama behind the tragedy. Michael Cabbage and William Harwood, two of America's most respected space journalists, are veterans of all but a handful of NASA's 113 shuttle missions. Tapping a network of sources and bringing a combined three decades of experience to bear, the authors provide a rare glimpse into NASA's inner circles, chronicling the agency's most devastating failure and the challenges that face NASA as it struggles to return America to space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378725552351,"sku":"9781439101766","price":26.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/kStVXZ_2U79781439101766.webp?v=1789261592"},{"product_id":"mythologys-last-gods-yahweh-and-jesus-hardcover","title":"Mythology's Last Gods: Yahweh and Jesus - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003eMore than 100 years ago, historians began applying critical methods of documentary analysis to the Judaeo-Christian Bible.

It is hoped that, by bringing together information on the origin and development of every part of the Yahweh- and Jesus-myths, Mythology's Last Gods will make the facts available to a large enough segment of the population to end the equation of god-mythology with history permanently. This is the first book to critically analyze, and take issue with, every section of the Judaeo-Christian Bible from a wholly skeptical, utterly scholarly perspective.Mythology's Last Gods is a comprehensive history of the development of Judaeo-Christian god-mythology. Harwood traces the beginning of the \"god\" concept, the evolution of Judaism to the first century, and the evolution of Christianity from its monotheistic beginnings to its emergence as a three-god creed in A.D. 325. Harwood's work reveals many things including that Jesus the Nazarite preached only Essene Judaism, and that every teaching attributed to him can be traced to a pre-Christian source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than 100 years ago historians began applying critical methods of documentary analysis to the Judaeo-Christian Bible.

Dr. Harwood became interested in the history of Judaeo-Christian mythology when, as an undergraduate at Calgary, he was assigned to write a research paper on \"Mystery Religions in the Early Roman Empire\", and discovered that the god-eating ritual in which he participated weekly as a believing Christian had existed three thousand years before Jesus' birth. Not for three years, however, could he fully abandon the disproved beliefs to which he had been emotionallycommitted, and acknowledge that gods are as imaginary as fairies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51384127389919,"sku":"9780879757427","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/NVlzUg-oGW9780879757427.webp?v=1789315342"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/william-harwood.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
