First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong

First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong

James R. Hansen

SIMON SCHUSTER
2018
nidottu
Now a major motion picture, this is the first--and only--definitive authorized account of Neil Armstrong, the man whose "one small step" changed history. When Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon's surface in 1969, the first man on the Moon became a legend. In First Man, author James R. Hansen explores the life of Neil Armstrong. Based on over fifty hours of interviews with the intensely private Armstrong, who also gave Hansen exclusive access to private documents and family sources, this "magnificent panorama of the second half of the American twentieth century" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) is an unparalleled biography of an American icon. In this "compelling and nuanced portrait" (Chicago Tribune) filled with revelations, Hansen vividly recreates Armstrong's career in flying, from his seventy-eight combat missions as a naval aviator flying over North Korea to his formative trans-atmospheric flights in the rocket-powered X-15 to his piloting Gemini VIII to the first-ever docking in space. For a pilot who cared more about flying to the Moon than he did about walking on it, Hansen asserts, Armstrong's storied vocation exacted a dear personal toll, paid in kind by his wife and children. For the near-fifty years since the Moon landing, rumors have swirled around Armstrong concerning his dreams of space travel, his religious beliefs, and his private life. A penetrating exploration of American hero worship, Hansen addresses the complex legacy of the First Man, as an astronaut and as an individual. "First Man burrows deep into Armstrong's past and present...What emerges is an earnest and brave man" (Houston Chronicle) who will forever be known as history's most famous space traveler.

The Ledger of Annabella O'Neil

Think for a moment, if we could go back to the beginning of human civilization, what would be the issues you would change in order to make the world a better place to live. What laws, practices, traditions and even taboos need to be altered, or altogether erased for the future generation to live a happier life. Religion, power and wealth are certainly among the leading causes of war and disruption. On individual level, they translate to prejudice and greed. This book is an attempt to deal with these fundamental issues, both on practical as well as philosophical level. It is mostly in form of a dialogue. The intention is not to present an ideal or perfect solution, but to force the reader to think and ponder about these premises covered.

Menschenbild und Kulturkritik von Richard Sennett und Neil Postman

Marc Groß-Brandt

AV Akademikerverlag
2012
pokkari
Inhaltlich unver nderte Neuauflage. Der Mensch wei sich in der modernen Welt kaum noch zurecht zu finden. Medial ist er zu einem Sklaven trivialer Information geworden. Das globale Wirtschaftssystem beraubt den Einzelnen der Grundlage seiner freien Selbstbestimmung: der zusammenh ngenden Wahrnehmung von Realit t. Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich diesen Szenarien und vergleicht zwei der weltweit popul rsten Kulturkritiker unserer Zeit in ihrer anthropologischen Grundlegung. Letztlich f hrt es zu dem Schluss: , Der Einzelne kann seine eigene Identit t nicht mehr selbst kreieren, seine Vern nftigkeit wird untergraben, wahres Menschsein ist sowohl f r Neil POSTMAN als auch f r Richard SENNETT fast zur Unm glichkeit gewachsen." Das Buch richtet sich an Kulturinteressierte, kritische Nachfrager, Querdenker und Menschen, die sich mit aktuellem Zeitgeschehen konstruktiv auseinandersetzen.

The Shortstop From Kalamazoo: The Life and Times of Neil Berry

The Shortstop From Kalamazoo: The Life and Times of Neil Berry

Neil Berry grew up on Walter Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan across the street from the city dump. The city filled in this dump when Berry was still young and in its place built the Upjohn Park athletic fields. This was a fortunate turn of events for Neil who was able to start watching and admiring the older boys who played on those fields. As he grew into a young man, he was able to spend many hours practicing in these fields. By the late 1930s Neil was a sports sensation playing left halfback in football for Kalamazoo Central High School and shortstop for the American Legion and Sutherland Paper Co. baseball teams.After a year at Western State Teachers College (now Western Michigan University) on a sports scholarship, Neil signed with the Detroit Tigers. He played one season of minor league ball before volunteering to serve his country in World War II. After the war and two seasons of AAA ball, Neil Berry made it to the majors. The Shortstop From Kalamazoo started the 1948 season as the Detroit Tigers starting shortstop.Neil Berry is not a household name even among the most ardent Detroit Tiger fans but Neil played with or against many of the greatest players in the game; Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, and Don Larsen, to name a few.Through the ups and downs of his seven year Major League Baseball career, Neil Berry witnessed from the bench or the playing field many unique or one time events in the history of the sport. Neil was playing shortstop when the shortest player in the history of the Major Leagues, Eddie Gaedel, made the only plate appearance of his short (pun intended) career. Neil witnessed a teammate throw a no hitter in his first major league start and another teammate set a record with 12 consecutive hits. Neil's favorite game forced the first playoff game in the history of the American League.Neil and I met in October, 2013 and continued to meet almost every week until he passed away in August, 2016. He shared his stories with me and allowed me to record those stories for this book.Neil's wife Gloria had dutifully collected every word the press ever wrote about Neil and pasted those articles and pictures in three large scrapbooks. Those scrapbooks also allowed me to tell Neil's story from the perspective of the sportswriters of the time.
