The amazing ibex climbing a dam
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Amazing
Tom–
good find.
Joe–
ditto that thought, amazing animals!
Rather than making the animals do that dangerous climb, why don’t they place a fortified salt lick at the bottom of the dam? I guess that would make too much sense . . .
Salt Is an important mineral for all animals including humans. See the book Salt by mark Kurlansky.
Wondering who is actually “making” the animals do that dangerous climb? I don’t think the ibex thinks it very dangerous. I didn’t see any of them fall.
It’s in their nature to climb and yes some unfortunately fall to their deaths. I love watching BBC programs especially Sir David Attenborough’s narration/commentary.
My dulled human mind cant help wonder how these creatures know the salt is there..? Surely they cant smell salt..?
Think Sherry has the answer..They climb naturally…once they found the salt…they
dont forget.Thanks Sherry for the insight..!
