Found a book that may interest some here.
" Final Frontier-The Pioneering Science and Technology of Exploring the Universe"-This book now has a high place on my (500 odd books) Amazon Wishlist.

I have gotten drawn in recently to reading about the South Africans/Cuban (and various clients) wars in northern Namibia and Angola-climaxing in the late 80's. I have a book on my list on that subject that is unique enough that it may draw a little reading interest here.
"Shadows in the Sand: A Koevoet Tracker's Story of an insurgency War"
• The first-ever account of the bush war by a non-white member of the South
African security forces
• A unique, previously untold perspective of the bush war, by an on-the-ground
tracker
