Designed between 1969 and 1972 and first flown into space in 1981, the NASA Shuttle will have flown almost 140 missions by the time it is retired in 2010. David Baker describes the origin of the reusable launch vehicle concept during the 1960s, its evolution into a viable flying machine in the early 1970s, and its subsequent design, engineering, construction and operation. The Shuttle's internal layout and systems are explained, including the operation of life support, electrical power production, cooling, propulsion, flight control, communications, land and avionics systems.

Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep forage in vegetation they can see over, and they keep to high visibility areas with clear escape routes and topographic relief that enables them to see long distances. Their excellent vision makes them an appropriate role model for Christian living.

Christians need to live with eternity’s values in view. We’re instructed to set our mind on things above. We need to stand where we can look over the top of earthly things to see heavenly things. We need to climb up to those high visibility places where we can see forever.

In this masterful new work by "the most moving and expansive poet to come out of the American Midwest since James Wright" (Marilyn Hacker), David Baker constructs a layered natural history of his beloved Midwest and traces the complex story of human habitation from family and village life to the evolving nature of work and the mysterious habitats of the heart.

At the center of Scavenger Loop is a sustained investigation of cycles and the natural recycling of things, and a discovery that even out of the discarded and the lost may come rebirth and renewal. In the process Baker...
