With humanity now venturing beyond Earth – living on space stations and eyeing the Moon and Mars – space architecture is taking centre stage.Jonathan Morrison, The Times’ architecture correspondent, embarks on a thrilling journey to uncover how we design for life beyond our planet. From Soviet space stations to the ISS and upcoming lunar bases, he traces the evolution of space habitats while revealing their roots in sci-fi and extreme Earth environments like Antarctic bases.With insights from astronauts, engineers, and space tourism pioneers, Morrison explores bold designs, sustainable tech, and the rise of orbital hotels and Martian colonies. His ultimate question: how do we not just survive – but thrive – in space?

Visual Basic is the most popular programming language in the world today. It can be used to quickly create a Windows application and has a short learning curve. However, there are limits to what Visual basic alone can do. By contrast, C++ is used for very complex and advanced systems programming and it has a very steep leaning curve. Because of the difference between the two languages, many programmers develop expertise in either one language or the other. The optimal situation would be for a programmer to be able to harness the power of C++ and take advantage of VB, thus allowing them to create Windows software in the most efficient manner possible. This book teaches VB programmers what they need to know in order to combine these two powerful tools and create truly world-class applications. This book is what Visual Basic programmers have long desired: a book that uses thier existing knowledge as a framework to teach the skills they need to move to the next level, C++. Jonathan Morrison has over five years of experience developing applications in both Visual Basic and C++. He has vast experience integrating Visual Basic and C++ in enterprise environments.
