As command module pilot for the Apollo 15 mission to the moon in 1971, Al Worden flew on what is widely regarded as the greatest exploration mission that humans have ever attempted. He spent six days orbiting the moon, including three days completely alone, the most isolated human in existence. During the return from the moon to earth he also conducted the first spacewalk in deep space, becoming the first human ever to see both the entire earth and moon simply by turning his head. The Apollo 15 flight capped an already-impressive career as an astronaut, including important work on the pioneering Apollo 9 and Apollo 12 missions, as well as the perilous flight of Apollo 13. Nine months after his return from the moon, Worden received a phone call telling him he was fired and ordering him out of his office by the end of the week. He refused to leave. What happened in those nine months, from being honored with parades and meetings with world leaders to being unceremoniously fired, has been a source of much speculation for four decades. Worden has never before told the full story around the dramatic events that shook NASA and ended his spaceflight career. Readers will learn them here for the first time, along with the exhilarating account of what it is like to journey to the moon and back. It's an unprecedentedly candid account of what it was like to be an Apollo astronaut, with all its glory but also its pitfalls.

We are pleased to announce publication of Journey Into Inner Space, a treasure chest of wisdom that draws on science, great literature, and spiritual understanding to reveal the journey of the soul. This innovative Brahma Kumaris production is more than a conventional book. It has artwork that "comes alive" using a technology called Augmented Reality. Animations of the images, accompanied by a spoken commentary, convey the essence of each chapter. We hear the renowned actor and director Clarke Peters narrate new understandings linking science and spirit, giving us a glimpse of our divinity. And the journey closes with a meditation led by Sister Jayanti, one of the world's most experienced teachers of Raja Yoga, gently guiding us towards our own, personal inner space. Combining ancient and modern wisdom, the Journey offers both an explanation and an experience of what is meant by the inner life, the world of the spirit or soul, as compared with the physical world around us. 'Journey Into Inner Space is both important and timely in sharing the rapid convergence of leading-edge science and spirituality. This new story, based on the latest scientific discoveries at all scales of existence and within many fields of research, is revealing that mind and consciousness aren't something we have - but rather what we and the whole world are. As well as being illustrated with beautiful artwork, the book offers an Augmented Reality feature that allows the reader to experience the essence of its message through animations and spoken commentaries. In showing that the physical realm is the manifestation of a deeper, unified, informational and intentional reality, the Journey confirms meaning and purpose to our existence, and that of our entire Universe.' - Dr Jude Currivan, cosmologist and author of The Cosmic Hologram In my own journey through life I have been fortunate to be guided at various stages by wise and compassionate people who were able to show me that one is moved to act at various levels in one's consciousness. At several 'lower' levels of consciousness one's urgent priority is to survive and fight or flee and then, one might mature, using intellect and logic to work out what is out there. However there is a deeper and yet higher path to the good life and bliss. The short, concise, animated book 'Journey into Inner Space' is a delightful introduction to this path and shows that human wisdom knows this from science, art and spirituality. I have had a long association with Business and Politics and have found that when acting from this holistic understanding, one acts with more compassion and inclusivity and everything one tries to do is for the benefit of all beings for all time . This is the only way the Planet and our species will survive. 'Journey into Inner Space' helps one to experience this. Lord Andrew Stone Parliamentarian, London U.K. "Each of us journeys towards God on our chosen path. As we come nearer the Holy One, words that easily cause division become less important and increasingly, instead of picturing God as external to us, we sense God's presence in the silence of the heart. We recognise that we and all others are 'eternal beings whose true nature is peace, love and happiness.' "At whatever stage you are on your journey, this easy-to-read book will help you to explore your inner space more deeply." - Rev Dr Marcus Braybrooke, President, World Congress of Faiths
