The Mercury programme began in 1958, and a number of unmanned flights were made prior to the first manned flight, in May 1961, that put the first US astronaut, Alan Shepard, in space, before John Glen became the first American to reach Earth orbit in February 1962. Mercury was the first US manned spacecraft, from which the Gemini and Apollo programmes evolved. This manual provides in-depth engineering insight, and tells the story of the hardware, the missions, and the men behind Project Mercury.

A practical guide to adding even more character to your favourite spirits infusion is fun, inventive and need not be expensive. Fruits can be foraged, vegetables can be grown, nuts can be gathered and herbs can be used to make spirited infusions. The possibilities are almost endless, and your creations will impress and entertain your friends. If it is soluble in water and not poisonous, then the chances are that a creative infusion can be made from it. The process is easy, and can be quick, although patience will be rewarded. Unlike making beer, cider or wine at home, you do not have to make large quantities, and a little spirit can go a long way.
