The exciting and inspiring true story of Apollo 8, the first crewed spaceship to break free of the Earth's orbit and reach the moon, by the best-selling author of Apollo 13. What's more exciting than spaceships and astronauts? How about a spaceship carrying the first astronauts ever to see the moon firsthand--on Christmas! The year was 1968, and the American people were still reeling from the spacecraft fire that killed the Apollo 1 crew a year earlier. On top of that, there were rumors that the Russian cosmonauts were getting ready to fly around the moon. NASA realized that they needed to take a bold step--and that they needed to take it now. They wanted to win the space race against Russia and hold true to President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. So in a risky move, a few days before Christmas of that year, they sent Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders to the moon! This book about the exciting and inspiring true story of Apollo 8, the first crewed spaceship to break free of Earth's orbit and reach the moon, tells the story of these three brave men, the frantic rush to get their rocket ready, and the journey that gave the American people--and the world--a new look at the planet we live on and the corner of space we inhabit. Filled with the science and training required to put a person into space, and every detail of what it's like to live in a spaceship for days on end (including what happens when astronauts need to use the bathroom), this book is sure to leave kids clamoring for a spot on the next mission to outer space.

Ruby Ahluwalia, a bureaucrat with a wandering, adventurous spirit, had it all — a successful career, a happy, supportive family and a creative and analytical mind. A pro multitasker, she was juggling her time and energies to be a super professional and a super mom, wife and daughter. Little did she realize that in this process, she was becoming a ‘below average her’. Just when she realized that she was almost losing the ground beneath her feet, she had a knock on her door – a knock that toppled her life upside down on full velocity and changed the course of her life… Here’s her journey — a story of self exploration — that led her to answers that lay in the patterns of human behaviour. • If your urge to nurture others is leading you to under nourish yourself, • If your suppressed self is leading you to abuse your body, soul and mind, • If you are craving to mend the splits in your soul.. Then it is your story too…. We all have our own cancers, even if they may not have become tumors as yet. How can we heal ourselves and come out of our self-created pits and discover our infinite potential is the purpose of telling this story. Ruby is now a Life Coach and a prolific speaker on Holistic healing. She is the Founder of Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer and has worked with more than 2 lakh patients across India through the narrative of Integrated Cancer care. You can reach out to her on her email, ruby@sanjeevani-lifebeyondcancer.in
Design for security is an essential aspect of the design of future computers. However, security is not well understood by the computer architecture community. Many important security aspects have evolved over the last several decades in the cryptography, operating systems, and networking communities. This book attempts to introduce the computer architecture student, researcher, or practitioner to the basic concepts of security and threat-based design. Past work in different security communities can inform our thinking and provide a rich set of technologies for building architectural support for security into all future computers and embedded computing devices and appliances. I have tried to keep the book short, which means that many interesting topics and applications could not be included. What the book focuses on are the fundamental security concepts, across different security communities, that should be understood by any computer architect trying to design or evaluate security-aware computer architectures.
