Obsessive, brilliant, and tortured, Nikola Tesla was lauded for his invention of the alternating current (AC) and other significant contributions to science. His claim that “harnessing the forces of nature was the only worthwhile scientific endeavor" both impressed and enraged the scientific community. Eventually his peers could no longer dismiss his eccentricities and began to view him as a crackpot - a potentially dangerous one.

Kelly Johnson designed the Blackbird, a plane that flew non-stop from London to Los Angeles in less than four hours, outracing the sun and landing four hours before it had taken off, a remarkable feat - and this was more than 35 years ago. Johnson was the innovative genius behind Lockheed's "Skunk Works", and played a leading role in the development of more than forty aircraft, including some of America's most sophisticated planes such as the Constellation, Shooting Star, F-104, U-2, and the SR-71 Blackbird.

In 1961, Wally Funk was among the Mercury 13, the first group of American pilots to pass the ‘Women in Space’ programme. Wally sailed through a series of rigorous physical and mental tests, her scores beating many of the male candidates, including those of John Glenn, the first American in orbit. But just one week before she was due to enter the final phase of training, the programme was abruptly cancelled. A combination of politics and prejudice meant that none of the women ever flew into space.

Данная аудиокнига воссоздает точную картину соперничества СССР и США за первенство в осуществлении полета человека в космос. В ее основе лежит впечатляющий массив не публиковавшихся ранее документов и высказываний тех, кто не просто присутствовал при описываемых событиях, а был их активным участником. Автор проводит параллели между Сергеем Павловичем Королевым и Вернером фон Брауном, создателями ракет, а также Юрием Гагариным и Аланом Шепардом, двумя кандидатами на первый полет в космос. Центральное место в повествовании занимает история первого советского космонавта Юрия Гагарина.

In the summer of 1921, Philo T. Farnsworth was not all that different from any other farmer's son in rural Idaho, until he came up with an idea that would change the world–and thrust him into a titanic struggle with one of the most monolithic monopolies in the world. Farnsworth's story of divine inspiration facing off against corporate avarice is a compelling–though seldom told–saga from the 20th century that is still relevant in the 21st.

Galileo Galilei è il simbolo della scienza moderna, ma quanto sappiamo davvero della sua vita? Matematico, inventore, imprenditore e persino autore di oroscopi: Galileo è stato molte cose, spesso tutte insieme. Siamo del resto in un'epoca in bilico: da una parte le superstizioni medievali; dall'altra la nascita faticosa del metodo scientifico. Con la sua voce inconfondibile, ironica, colta, teatrale, Roberto Mercadini ci regala un viaggio affascinante nella vita e nel tempo di Galileo.
