Features of Bringing Columbia Home PDF

Bringing Columbia Home PDF: On February 1, 2003, Columbia disintegrated on reentry before the nation’s eyes, and all seven astronauts aboard were lost. Author Mike Leinbach, Launch Director of the space shuttle program at NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center was a key leader in the search and recovery effort as NASA, FEMA, the FBI, the US Forest Service, and dozens more federal, state, and local agencies combed an area of rural east Texas the size of Rhode Island for every piece of the shuttle and her crew they could find. Assisted by hundreds of volunteers, it would become the largest ground search operation in US history. This comprehensive account is told in four parts:

Parallel Confusion
Courage, Compassion, and Commitment
Picking Up the Pieces
A Bittersweet Victory

For the first time, here is the definitive inside story of the Columbia disaster and recovery and the inspiring message it ultimately holds. In the aftermath of tragedy, people and communities came together to help bring home the remains of the crew and nearly 40 percent of shuttle, an effort that was instrumental in piecing together what happened so the shuttle program could return to flight and complete the International Space Station. Bringing Columbia Home shares the deeply personal stories that emerged as NASA employees looked for lost colleagues and searchers overcame immense physical, logistical, and emotional challenges and worked together to accomplish the impossible.

Featuring a foreword and epilogue by astronauts Robert Crippen and Eileen Collins, and dedicated to the astronauts and recovery search persons who lost their lives, this is an incredible, compelling narrative about the best of humanity in the darkest of times and about how a failure at the pinnacle of human achievement became a story of cooperation and hope.

I bought this book because the “…made incredibly easy” series has helped in the past. But I don’t understand how this is simplified at all. It’s just a book with the same info you can find anywhere. I fail to see how this is easy or will help to pass any more than just looking at the ACLS manual (which is less than half the length). Definitely a hard pass.

My book is missing several pages
It jumps from page 38 to page 55 ,and those pages contain all the blocks . First degree to third .
I really need to study or I would send it back
So far it seems easy to follow.

Excellent resource to prep for ACLS certification. I hadn’t taken the class in several years and this book was all I used to prepare. To the point study guide without wasted reading material.

Easy to understand. I used it while doing my cognitive simulations for ACLS more than I used the AHA manual!
It was easier to navigate.

This book arrived with a tear in it. It was bought “new”. Unacceptable. Also, the content is too drawn out. I was hoping for a clear cut, short and concise guide into what to remember for the class. This was not it. I honestly think they go into too much detail and make the content seem harder than it is.

The layout on this book makes it all look harder.
Tiny print. sligjtly faded/not bold contrast print. Info on pages crammed together. Supposed to be a prep for the ACLS. “ACLS made Easy” but looks like all the info but all crammed tighter. not a funtional or pleasant read.
For me now after seeing that book the AHA ACLS book is easier + more plaeasant to read ie larger size book + good print,page and organization/spacing better. more funtional and aesthetic layout
