Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Read about stories behind fascinating sagas, curious incidents, and weird biographies. Here are some of the exciting stories you will find in this book: Boisjoly's WarningBefore the infamous Challenger disaster of January 1986, an engineer tried to warn the team that the unfavorable weather conditions could cause a major malfunction that would result in catastrophe. They ignored his warning. The night before the launch, Boisjoly reportedly told his wife he was sure the shuttle would explode. Just 73 seconds after takeoff, his prediction was confirmed.The Happy Valley SetAround the late 1920s and early 1930s, an extremely wealthy group of European aristocrats formed a small community near the quiet Highlands of Lake Naivasha, Kenya. They called themselves The Happy Valley Set. Their home became a playground for wild parties, scandalous affairs, and heavy drinking. Their atrocities remained secret until a mysterious murder exposed everything. This event cemented their place in history as one of the most decadent groups to ever live in East Africa.The Lock PickerFor close to seven decades, an "unpickable" lock sat in a London window waiting for a worthy challenger to win the 200 guineas prize money. No one ever came close to completing the challenge until American salesman Alfred Charles Hobbs took the challenge and embarrassed the British clockmakers within 25 minutes. That feat led to the founding of a super successful lock empire in Britain.The Cult of NumbersPythagoras, the infamous Greek mathematician, led a small philosophical and religious cult whose beliefs revolved around numbers and mathematics. They called themselves the Pythagoreans, and their faith centered around the significance of numbers and their essence in the grand scheme of things. These and many more are some of the exciting stories covered in the various chapters of this book. This item is printed on demand.
