NATIONAL BESTSELLER - With stark poignancy and political dispassion Tightrope addresses the crisis in working-class America while focusing on solutions to mend a half century of governmental failure. This must-read book from the authors of Half the Sky shows how we can and must do better (Katie Couric).A deft and uniquely credible exploration of rural America, and of other left-behind pockets of our country. One of the most important books I\'ve read on the state of our disunion.--Tara Westover, author of Educated Drawing us deep into an other America, the authors tell this story, in part, through the lives of some of the people with whom Kristof grew up, in rural Yamhill, Oregon. It\'s an area that prospered for much of the twentieth century but has been devastated in the last few decades as blue-collar jobs disappeared.About a quarter of the children on Kristof\'s old school bus died in adulthood from drugs, alcohol, suicide, or reckless accidents. While these particular stories unfolded in one corner of the country, they are representative of many places the authors write about, ranging from the Dakotas and Oklahoma to New York and Virginia.With their superb, nuanced reportage, Kristof and WuDunn have given us a book that is both riveting and impossible to ignore. The never-before-told story of the courage, dedication, and teamwork that made the journey to the moon possible--an intense human drama of the sacrifices and risks asked of a remarkable group of astronauts. Shepard and Slayton, part of the pioneering space program from the beginning, tell this fascinating inside story. 32 pages of photos. From Strawberry to Dragon, Harvest to Storm, the full moon is known by many names around the world and across the seasons, and each name has a story behind it. This beautiful photographic celebration of our closest celestial neighbor captures the visual wonder and the connection we feel to the moon. Including three dozen folk names and short evocative explanations drawn from Native American, Inuit, Celtic, medieval English, Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, and pagan cultures, Seasons of the Moon presents an inspired visual pairing for each, taken in the month the folk name represents. Featuring a poetic moon die-cut cover, this portrait of our eternal fascination with the moon is a welcome companion as we look to the sky throughout the seasons. This beautiful visual history of the moon explores humanity\'s endless fascination with its closest cosmic neighbour.From humankind\'s first lunar recordings to present-day myths and new exploration efforts, this original and diverting account intertwines artistic, religious and political interpretations with critical scientific study and observation.Trace the history of the moon and its many faces in this extensively illustrated and illuminating volume. On July 21, 1969, the first man set foot on The Moon. When Neil Armstrong was asked if this made him feel big, he answered: No, it made me feel really, really small. 50 years later, this publication celebrates that special moment that put life on earth into a totally different perspective. It collects pictures of the world\'s best photographers from the 1840s until today. Next to historical photographs and imagery printed in media, the publication features many artists that each in their own way reflect on this mystical celestial body, we call \'moon\'. The book shows the diversity of meanings of The Moon, it\'s relation to mankind and to nature. The Moon has always both attracted and scared people around the world. It is our everyday connection to the unfathomable universe. Since time immemorial it is revered for its beauty, its stillness and mysterious appearance and yet also feared for its supernatural-seeming qualities. In mythology The Moon has always been given a central place. With its magnetic forces it changes the tides and has a direct and uncontrollable impact on mankind from above. In 1840, barely three years after the invention of photography, J.W. Draper makes the first picture ever made of The Moon and since that day photographers have never stopped following his example. The paradoxical aspects of the moon continue to fascinate and inspire. Like a photograph The Moon depends on sunlight to be visible. It has no light of its own and no apparent strength to resist our nightly city lights either. Photographers feel this close connection to The Moon\'s characteristics and find the perfect object in its aesthetics. The landing on The Moon was a culmination point of the1960\'s Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, which quickly became a symbol of the Cold War. The images of the landing became the bearer of values and symbols of the United States and were widely spread through various media. In 1973 NASA abolished its moon program. The Moon had been conquered and the public seemed to have had lost interest. However, today people still find The Moon fascinating, and humanity continues to dream about setting foot on the sun\'s shadow. Perfect for the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing in summer 2019! It’s been fifty years since Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon. But the journey didn’t begin when he stepped on board Apollo 11 that fateful day in July 1969.

Wendell Minor\'s gorgeous paintings evoke the wonder of space exploration for young readers.Becoming an astronaut took more than education, discipline, and physical strength.
