This is the first comprehensive book on the European Hermes program. It tells the fascinating story of how Europe aimed for an independent manned spaceflight capability which was to complement US and Soviet/Russian space activities. In 1975, France decided to expand its plans for automated satellites for materials processing to include the development of a small 10 ton spaceplane to be launched on top of a future heavy-lifting Ariane rocket. This Hermes spaceplane would give Europe its own human spaceflight capability for shuttling crews between Earth and space stations. The European Space Agency backed the proposal. Unfortunately, after detailed studies, the project was cancelled in 1993. If Hermes had been introduced into service, it could have become the preferred "space taxi" for ferrying crews to and from the International Space Station. But that opportunity was lost. This book provides the first look of the complete story of and reasons for the demise of this ambitious program. It also gives an account which pieces of Hermes survived and are active in the 2nd decade of the 21st century. This fascinating story will be a great read for space enthusiasts. But it will also serve as a comprehensive documentation of an important episode in the history of manned spaceflight.

At birth, Hermes, son of Zeus and the Nymph Maia, says his first word: "Gimme!" In this brilliant, hilarious graphic novel about the mischievous, fun-loving messenger of the gods, Caldecott Medal winner Mordicai Gerstein, transports classical mythology to the 21st century. "The world!" the newly born Hermes says. "It's even better than I expected! I love it! I want it all!" This book is filled with joy, exuberance, and humor. On his first day of life, Hermes manages to trick a turtle into surrendering its shell and a ram into surrendering its horns, thereby inventing the lyre, music, and song! He also manages to steal his brother Apollo's precious cows, but later redeems himself by outwitting the giant brothers Otus and Ephialtes, who have kidnapped Mars. These adventures and more, all derived from classical mythology, are told with great humor as well as a twenty-first century sensibility by the colossally talented Mordicai Gerstein. The art in this graphic novel is truly spectacular, with 250 illustrations, executed by a master artist and filled with unique humor. A Bank Street Best Book of the Year

"""Have you heard of Hermès? What about Birkin and Kelly bags? What's that? Oh, you're a super freak fan?? You bought a separate house just to store your Birkin and Kelly bags collections? Excellent. This book is for you. Come along on a journey with a couple of Birkin and Kelly bags re-sellers into the mystical world of Hermès; the crack for the high society, the heroin for the exclusive. Read the swashbuckling duo's adventures and struggles as they established Hermès Temptation, an online forum to re-sell the beautiful and rare bags, and laugh and cry as they tell their ups and downs in running the business, weathering criticism, warding off scams and turning France upside down in search of the elusive Birkins and Kellys-and found Mickey Mouse underwear instead. %%% """"This book is a pure pleasure to read; filled to the brim with humor and I love the wittiness of Alexandra Dewi and the sincerity of fierce yet darling Fifi. Hermès Temptation is a celebration of all women. The dynamic duo's passions, sensitivities and measured ways of dealing with the intricacies of this tough business and of course the many temptations in LIFE warrant a thorough read."""" Cathy Sharon. Model, Presenter, Actress """"I can't stop smiling reading Hermès Temptation... this book is not too lengthy but definitely interesting to read all the way through! It is amazing to read how some people can be so superficial for something so artificial, for a piece of (what we believe) a branded bag. This book is an eye-opener for all of us."""" Becky Tumewu.
