Excellent High Resolution Print found nowhere else
I can use "picture book" to describe Full Moon, as images contributed as the major part of this book. Don't think that this book is not worth reading, indeed, it is on the contrary, this is an extraordinary book, because of the photos. There are a lot of astronomy books contain lots of photos, but when you read them, you would find the images are not so good at all, but not because of the ...

The holidays in one fast easy place
I home school and LOVE this book. I actually looked it up to send the link to a friend who wants to buy her own copy after seeing mine. This book has all the holidays that your grade school child will be exposed to in the USA. It covers what the holiday is in a way that is short and sweet, but still has facts that you did not know and covers why people celebrate that day. It has chinese new ...

History lesson in the making.
A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts This is an outstanding lesson in history from the perspective of those who lived it. Having just attended Advanced Space Academy for Educators in Huntsville, Alabama and the Kennedy Space Center, Florida; this book brought the sites, history, and lessons to life. It should be required reading for those who have forgotten what our ...

A glorious introduction to our solar system
It's easy to read! You can read the chapters in just about any order. The material is mostly descriptive, without any complicated mathematics. And it's a terrific collection, with wonderful color pictures, graphs, and charts. This Fourth edition (1999) is the first to have pictures (and other data) of Jupiter and of the Jovian satellites taken by the Galileo mission. And yes, I suspect there ...

Chaikin is magnificent!
Andrew Chaikin has written the most fascinating and thorough book on the Apollo Moon Missions in this book. This book is to Apollo what "The Right Stuff" was to Mercury. He touches on every aspect of "putting a man on the moon and bringing him safely back to Earth"! If you can only read one book on Apollo, this is the one!

A time when man walked on the moon. Mr. Bean's use of his fantastic artwork to describe a part of his life ...

An excellent history
This is a fantastic listen and highly recommended for everyone, even for those with only a passing interest in manned spaceflight. It is full of intriguing human and technical stories, and excellent background information for context. If I'd had the book I could not have put it down.

Beautiful book, next best thing to being there.
February of 2001 found me on a hilltop next to an old barn about ten miles from the Vermont border. It was cold out, that's for sure. New England winter is no joke! Soon, however, I was sweltering, as I was being ushered through the hot attic of an old barn, past row after row of thick rods of colored glass, and down onto the working floor of Josh Simpson's hot shop. I was standing there, a ...

Air and Space : The National Air and Space Museum Story
Worth it for the photos alone. The writer shares with us his life long love of aviation. He explores the history of aviation in a fashion that will please the expert as well as the curious. He uses the Smithsonian collection to make points about the hsitory of aviation. The book is not limited to a description about the collection, th e history is augmented with photos and anecdotes. A great ...
