Am 14. Oktober 1959 erschien die erste Ausgabe des Schweizer Boulevardblattes BLICK. In zwei kleinen Wohnungen am Rande von Zürichs Bankenviertel aus der Taufe gehoben, ent- wickelte sich die Zeitung schnell zu einem stark polarisierenden Medienereignis: Sie wurde öffentlich verbrannt, einer ihrer Journalisten mit vorgehaltener Waffe verhaftet und vom Schweizer Bundesrat boykottiert. Aber der BLICK war immer nahe am Geschehen und begegnete seinen Lesern auf Augenhöhe - ganz im Gegensatz zu den anderen Zeitungen an den Kiosken dieser Zeit. »BLICK war dabei« - so hieß das Motto. Und das zahlte sich aus. Der BLICK wurde schnell zur meist- gelesenen Zeitung der Schweiz. Dabei nahm die Fotografie von Anfang an eine Sonderrolle im BLICK ein. Eine Zeitung mit so vielen Bildern - das hatte vorher in der Schweiz nicht existiert. Fotos wurden in den Mittelpunkt gerückt und auf unkonventionelle und emotionale Weise mit Schlagzeilen und Text verknüpft. Storys wurden so auf eine für die Schweiz radikal neue Weise inszeniert. Zum sechzigsten Jubiläum von BLICK wurden aus Hunderttausenden von Fotos in den Archiven die herausragendsten, originellsten und emotionalsten für dieses Buch ausgewählt.

But India's success instead came from the genius and tireless efforts of scientists in silk sarees. With a Whistle in the Dark follows the stories of three women central to the building of India's space programme, and the success that came after. These women got Indian rockets to Mars, but faced cultural and gender barriers so immense, that by pursuing a life of science, they started a rebellion.
