Aimed at both the head and the heart, The Defining Moment plumbs the depths of the most memorable characters ever to appear on the screen, the stage or the page. The book focuses on those moments so pivotal in a character's formation that they create a distinct boundary of before and after, moments without which the character couldn't exist and moments through which characters can transform before our eyes. Writers, actors and storytellers of all stripes will discover a powerful new key to unlock any character they seek to develop, write or portray. They may even unlock a deeper understanding of themselves.Features:The first in-depth study of the essential principles that will redefine the way storytellers understand their characters and themselves.Essential insights into the forces that create characterDozens of examples of character-defining moments from film, television, theater and literatureAn exploration of pivotol moments: birth, death, discovery, decision-making, injury and healingAn examination of how writers and actors employ defining moments in their deepest and most unforgettable worksInsights into how directors, editors, cinematographers and composers dramatize key momentsPractical exercises for defining and redefining characterTips for discovering the moments that matter mostDeeply personal stories from the authors' lives to illustrate the variety of moments that define us.For every storyteller, no matter their medium, The Defining Moment will redefine the way they understand their characters and themselves.

The Defining Moment

Philip Dolling

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 20th century’s greatest flight achievement, this book chronicles how 400,000 men and women across the US worked to transport human beings across a quarter million miles of hostile space to an unexplored world, and how they ensured that the seven million engineered parts invented to fly this single mission all worked perfectly. The first Moon landing in July 1969 captured the world’s imagination like no other space event before or after. Now, a half century later, the Owners' Workshop Manual series presents a fascinating insight into this unparalleled mission, from the raw, fire-breathing power of the mighty Saturn V rocket to the individual stitching on a pressure-suit glove. You'll also find a new look at the legacy of Apollo 11, how the Apollo missions inspired Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to think big and create the current SpaceX and Blue Origin programs, and a look forward to future manned Moon missions and deep-space exploration. The engaging, insightful text, accompanied by remarkable photos and technical images, bring arguably the greatest-ever feat of engineering and human endeavor to life.

50th Anniversary Special Edition - An insight into the hardware from the first manned mission to land on the moon

NASA Mission AS-506 Apollo 11 Owner's Workshop Manual

Tim Haines

It will be the greatest adventure that humans have ever embarked on. Six years in space, away from Earth, voyaging further and faster than anyone before them. Demanding the courage to face incredible dangers, it is a quest that will define new frontiers for our species. This is the story of Project Pegasus, the first manned voyage to the planets. Witness, through the eyes of the five astronaut-explorers, the extraordinary sights of our solar system: the superheated lava fields of volcanic Venus, gigantic Martian dust devils and the fragile, dark surface of a comet that disintegrates as you try to land on it. Join the crew as they chart the inhospitable landscapes of our neighbouring planets and take a death - defying fly-by of the Sun to accelerate them towards the outer giant planets and the forbidding, frozen worlds of Pluto and Charon. The story is told in the team's own words. Their mission may still be fiction, but their experiences are rooted in those of the real astronauts who have already flown to another world, and lived for months in orbiting space stations. Vivid images, inspired and informed by forty years of real robotic exploration of the planets, ensure that SPACE ODYSSEY is the most accurate portrayal possible of such a voyage - until the day it becomes a reality.

A Voyage to the Planets

Space Odyssey

Voyager 1 has recently crossed the boundary of our solar system and passed into interstellar space, and Voyager 2 is likely to follow suit, on a different path, between 2016 and 2017. The two Voyager probes will continue to transmit details of discoveries beyond our solar system until at least 2020.

NASA Voyager 1 & 2 Owners' Workshop Manual - 1977 onwards (VGR77-1 to VGR77-3, including Pioneer 10 & 11)

On 20 July 1969, US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon. NASA Mission AS-506 Apollo 11 Owners' Workshop Manual is the story of the Apollo 11 mission and the ‘space hardware’ that made it all possible. This manual looks at the evolution and design of the mighty Saturn V rocket, the Command and Service Modules, and the Lunar Module. It describes the space suits worn by the crew and their special life support and communications systems. We learn about how the Apollo 11 mission was flown - from launch procedures to ‘flying’ the Saturn V and the ‘LEM’, and from moon walking to the earth re-entry procedure. This new edition of the book celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

NASA Mission AS-506 Apollo 11 Owners' Workshop Manual

David Woods

Continuing the popular Haynes Owners' Workshop Manual space series, which currently comprises Apollo 11 Manual and NASA Space Shuttle Manual, this unique book provides an insight into the only car ever built to be driven on the surface of another world. With a Foreword by the first Apollo astronaut to drive it on the Moon, Dave Scott, and published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of mankind’s final drive on the Moon in December 2012. The book is part mechanical guide, illustrated with many of the technical drawings from the time, and part narrative-driven story of engineering ingenuity and human triumph. It draws on the rich NASA photographic archive and the complete transcripts of the crews' reaction to driving across the Moon, which the authors have an un-paralleled knowledge and experience of working with.

Lunar Rover Manual

On July 20, 1969, US astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. The Apollo 11 mission that carried him and his two fellow astronauts on their epic journey marked the successful culmination of a quest that, ironically, had begun in Nazi Germany thirty years before. This is the story of the Apollo 11 mission and the ‘space hardware’ that made it all possible. Author Chris Riley looks at the evolution and design of the mighty Saturn V rocket, the Command and Service Modules, and the Lunar Module. He also describes the space suits worn by the crew, with their special life support systems. Launch procedures are described, ‘flying’ the Saturn V, navigation, course correction ‘burns’, orbital rendezvous techniques, flying the LEM, moon landing, moon walk, take-off from the moon, and earth re-entry procedure. Includes performance data, fuels, biographies of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, Gene Kranz and Werner von Braun. Detailed appendices cover all of the Apollo missions, with full details of crews, spacecraft names and logos, mission priorities, moon landing sites, and the Lunar Rover.

NASA Apollo 11

"This comprehensive guide gives insight into the first vehicle ever built to be driven on the surface of another body, the Apollo mission's lunar module. Prefaced by a foreword by the first Apollo astronaut to drive the lunar lander, this book is both a mechanical guide with illustrations and technical drawings and a fascinating narrative of engineering ingenuity and human triumph. It draws on NASA's rich photographic archive and the complete transcripts of the crews' reaction to driving across the moon. With its blend of engineering principles and detailed images, this informative guide will engage space geeks and novices alike."
