It’s been twenty years since every kid growing up in the 90s lost their mind when they received an N64. Whether it was for your birthday, on Christmas morning or your bar mitzvah, the Nintendo 64 changed your life. The folks at ScrewAttack are no exception. To them, the 64 continues to be one of the greatest inventions known to man. With that kind of importance, it only made sense to relaunch the Video Game Vault series with the N64 leading the way. Following in the vein of their hit series "Video Game Vault,” ScrewAttack's debut book takes a look at one of the most important systems in history. The ScrewAttack team covers their favorite games for Nintendo's iconic console while providing quirky personal stories that these games helped create. From the traditional fan-favorites, to the games everyone loved to hate, the Vault is back and it has it all.

Designed to set the standard for the scientific community, these three volumes break new ground by providing readers with the physics basics as well as the biological and medical background, together with detailed reports on recent technical advances. The Handbook also adopts an application-related approach, starting with the application and then citing the various tools to solve the scientific task, making it of particular value to medical doctors.

This book dissects the hype and hubris of the Mars One venture. Every aspect of the mission design is scrutinized, from the haphazard selection process to the unproven mission architecture. A controversial project, many professional astronauts consider Mars One a reckless attempt, yet it gained popular attention. This go-to reference guide provides the reader with insights into the myriad issues arising from the project's loss of funding, loss of sponsorship, loss of TV rights. It explains what contributed to an overly optimistic assessment of Mars One's mission-specific technology, and what captivated the public and the many willing candidates despite these flaws. From the author of Survival and Sacrifice in Mars Exploration (2015) among many more books on spacefaring, this is yet another up-to-the-minute account of an emerging player in the private space market from an expert on the subject.
