MARS COLONY AND A TOWN NAMED FORTITUDE: 4 /4: For the Love of Mars: A Human History of the Red Planet Hardcover – May 18, 2023 by Matthew Shindell (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Love-Mars-Human-History-Planet/dp/0226821897/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Mars and its secrets have fascinated and mystified humans since ancient times. Due to its vivid color and visibility, its geologic kinship with Earth, and its potential as our best hope for settlement, Mars embodies everything that inspires us about space and exploration. For the Love of Mars surveys the red planet’s place in the human imagination, beginning with ancient astrologers and skywatchers and ending in our present moment of exploration and virtual engagement. National Air and Space Museum curator Matthew Shindell describes how historical figures across eras and around the world have made sense of this mysterious planet. We meet Mayan astrologer priests who incorporated Mars into seasonal calendars and religious ceremonies; Babylonian astrologers who discerned bad omens; figures of the Scientific Revolution who struggled to comprehend it as a world; Victorian astronomers who sought signs of intelligent life; and twentieth- and twenty-first-century scientists who have established a technological presence on its surface. Along the way, we encounter writers and artists from each of these periods who take readers and viewers along on imagined journeys to Mars. 1950

THE FACTS ABOUT THE NSDAP AND THE RISE OF THE THIRD REICH. 8 /16: Coffee With Hitler: The Untold Story of the Amateur Spies Who Tried to Civilize the Nazis Hardcover – September 6, 2022 by Charles Spicer (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Hitler-Untold-Amateur-Civilize/dp/1639362266 "How might the British have handled Hitler differently?” remains one of history’s greatest "what ifs." Coffee with Hitler tells the astounding story of how a handful of amateur British intelligence agents wined, dined, and befriended the leading National Socialists between the wars. With support from royalty, aristocracy, politicians, and businessmen, they hoped to use the recently founded Anglo-German Fellowship as a vehicle to civilize and enlighten the Nazis. 1937 LABOUR DAY (MAY 1) BERLIN

The Previews are not useful to the listener trying to listen to the actual show. Perhaps all Previews could be put into a different Podcast category. They interfere with listening currently.
Exactly what we need. Excellent

Enjoyed Cliff May’s clear-sighted global survey. Very temperate, rational and balance of power focused. I’d like to hear his view on whether Mahanian maritime strategy should still inform our navy deployments IVO the vast Pacific being the likely next ( or additional) theater.
