Into That Silent Sea – AUTOGRAPHED by authors Francis French and Colin Burgess $30 Into That Silent Sea Trailblazers of the Space Era, 1961-1965Francis French and Colin BurgessWith a foreword by Paul Haney ?Eminently readable, well-crafted. . . . The merits of this popular history rest in the elegant narrative and the authors? thoughtful awareness of the space explorer genre.? ?Air & Space Smithsonian(The Space Review (website) I found the book a great source of new information that was both well documented and thoroughly fascinating to read – in fact, I believe it is deserving of winning some awards. Before I flew in space, these men and women in America and Russia paved the way and were my personal heros. If you want to know who they were, then this is the book. – Alfred M. Worden, Apollo 15 AstronautIt was a time of bold new technology, historic moments, and international jousting on the final frontier. But it was also a time of human drama, of moments less public but no less dramatic in the lives of those who made the golden age of space flight happen. These are the moments and the lives that Into That Silent Sea captures, a book that tells the intimate stories of the men and women, American and Russian, who made the space race their own and gave the era its compelling character. These pages chronicle a varied and riveting cavalcade of human stories, including a look at Yuri Gagarin?s harrowing childhood in war-ravaged Russia and Alan Shepard?s firm purchase on the American dream. It also examines the controversial career of cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, and the remarkable struggle and ultimate disappointment of her American counterparts. It tries to uncover the truth behind the allegations that shadowed Gus Grissom and Scott Carpenter and then allows the reader to share the heart-stopping suspense of Alexei Leonov?s near-fatal first space walk. Through dozens of interviews and access to Russian and American official documents and family records, the authors bring to life the experiences that shaped the lives of the first astronauts and cosmonauts and forever changed their world and ours. Francis French is the former director of events for Sally Ride Science, and the current director of education at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. Colin Burgess is a former flight service director with Qantas Airways and the author of many books on space flight, including Fallen Astronauts: Heroes Who Died Reaching for the Moon and Teacher in Space: Christa McAuliffe and the Challenger Legacy, both available in Bison Books editions. A NASA public affairs officer from 1958 to 1969, Paul Haney was known widely as NASA?s ?voice of mission control.

A Ball, A Dog, and A Monkey $14.95 A Ball, A Dog, and A Monkey A Ball, a Dog, and a Monkey tells the remarkable story of America’s first efforts to succeed in space, a time of exploding rockets, national space mania, Florida boomtowns, and interservice rivalries so fierce that President Dwight Eisenhower had to referee them.A Ball, A Dog, and A Monkey covers roughly the first year of the Space Age, from the launch of Sputnik in October 1957 through Project SCORE, which placed an entire Atlas booster in orbit with a small communications payload, including a tape-recorded message from President Eisenhower, just before Christmas 1958. The book examines both the Soviet and American programs, but places far more emphasis on the latter, from the political machinations in Washington to the technical difficulties of launching satellites to the effects the massive influx of space and missile workers had on the once-sleepy communities around Cape Canaveral. (The title itself refers to Sputnik, Laika, and a squirrel monkey named Gordo that the US launched on a suborbital spaceflight in late 1958.)The book does serve as a reminder that the history of that era is about not just about satellites and rockets, but also the people who created them or were touched by them in some way. With a story as well known as the opening of the Space Race, and one with few new revelations and insights, A Ball, A Dog, and A Monkey focuses primarily on stories from some of the people (primarily American) involved in that first year of the Space Age. Some of them are famous: Eisenhower, Wernher von Braun, and James Van Allen, the Iowa physicist whose experiments were flown on Explorer 1. Others are more obscure, yet still interesting. “A SCIENCE BOOK OF 2007″ – NPR’S SCIENCE FRIDAY “A FUN, FAST READ…AMAZING WE HAD TO WAIT ‘TIL THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THAT YEAR’S TUMULTUOUS EVENTS TO GET THE POPULAR HISTORY THEY DESERVED” – Angela Gunn USATODAY.COM Paperback 320 Pages Simon & Schuster, September 2008 |

Ambassadors from Eart h – AUTOGRAPHED by Author Jay Gallentine $40 Ambassadors from Earth: Pioneering Explorations with Unmanned Spacecraft AUTOGRAPHED by Author Jay Gallentine 2009 Emme Award Winning Book for Astronautical Literature Rewind to the 1950s and ponder: was America?s first satellite really built by a college student? How did a small band of underappreciated Russian engineers get pictures of the moon?s far side?using stolen American film? As the 1960s progressed, consider: how the heck did people learn to steer a spacecraft using nothing but gravity? And just how were humans able to goose a spaceship through a thirty-year journey to the literal edge of our solar system? Ambassadors from Earth relates the story of the first unmanned space probes and planetary explorers?from the Sputnik and Explorer satellites launched in the late 1950s to the thrilling interstellar Voyager missions of the ’70s?that yielded some of the most celebrated successes and spectacular failures of the space age. Keep in mind that our first mad scrambles to reach orbit, the moon, and the planets were littered with enough histrionics and cliffhanging turmoil to rival the most far-out sci-fi film. Utilizing original interviews with key players, bolstered by never-before-seen photographs, journal excerpts, and primary source documents, Jay Gallentine delivers a quirky and unforgettable look at the lives and legacy of the Americans and Soviets who conceived, built, and guided those unmanned missions to the planets and beyond. Of special note is his in-depth interview with James Van Allen, the discoverer of the rings of planetary radiation that now bear his name. Ambassadors from Earth is an engaging bumper-car ride through a fog of head-banging uncertainty, bleeding-edge technology, personality clashes, organizational frustrations, brutal schedules, and the occasional bright spot. Confessed one participant, ?We were making it up as we went along” Book Details: Hardcover: 544 pages Publisher: Univ of Nebraska Pr (November 1, 2009 Language: English |

The Rocket Team $34.95 The Rocket Team by Frederick I. Ordway III and Mitchell R. SharpeFor the first time The Rocket Team is now accompanied by a DVD-Video featuring nearly five hours of rare footage of the Rockt Team’s extraordinary legacy. “This book was already a classic, but Apogee has made it even better by adding the wonderful DVD full of documentary footage. The Rocket Team deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone intersted in the origins of the space age.” — Andrew Chaikin, author of “A Man on the Moon.” Traveling to the Moon and the planets beyond has moved from the world of dreamers and Buck Rogers to the factual terrain of the daily papers and television news shows. This book tells the story of the men who did so much to make the impossible a reality. From a small group of amateur rocketeers led by Wernher von Braun, his rocket team grew into one of the most influential technological forces in this or any other century. Starting in the early 1930′s with rockets whose flights were measured in feet (when they got off the ground at all), within two dozen years the von Braun team added a new dimension to warfare with the 200-mile-range V-2 bombardment missile. After World War II, the same team created the first long-range ballistic missiles for the U.S.: They worked on the Explorer program that resulted in the first American satellite to orbit the Earth. And within the decade they developed and built the huge 363-foot-tall Saturn rocket that fulfilled von Braun’s life-long dream of sending man to the Moon. The Rocket Team discloses much previously classified information, particularly involving the British intelligence effort to learn about Hitler’s heralded V1 and V2 “vengeance weapons”; to delay their going into action and to minimize their effectiveness once they were developed. The U.S. and British documents, as well as information from von Braun himself, his papers, and interviews with the other members of his team, provide new insights into the wartime growth of rocketry. For Germany, the effort was remarkable: the V-2 program costing some $3 billion – half again as much as the American Manhattan project t develop the atomic bomb. The conditions under which the team had to operate were severe. Constant Allied bombings disrupted supply lines and forced manufacturing operations underground. Internally, the V-2 program was disrupted by Hitler’s on-again, off-again attitude and Himmler’s attempt to gain control of it. At one point von Braun himself was arrested by the SS! Despite such obstacles, the scientists and engineers on the teaam refined and developed their work to the point that, when they arranged their surrender to the Americans at the end of World War II, von Braun announced that he had a rocket on the drawing board that could fly from Germany to New York. Little wonder, then, that the rivalry was so keen between the U.S., Russia, and Britain to gain the services of the von Braun group after the war. The Rocket Team tells how the men were brough |

Whether for panning a scenic landscape or surveying the Milky Way for star clusters, this telescope provides a pleasant experience.The Observer 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope is well suited to beginners of any age. It is lightweight and compact so it’s easy to carry to your observing location, be it out on the lawn or an hour’s drive into the hills.Its glossy black optical tube is made of seamless aluminum and outfitted with a smooth-action rack-and-pinion focuser on one end and a dew cap/glare shield on the other.

It has an altitude micro-motion control to allow very fine aiming adjustments.The tube and mount are supported on a sturdy aluminum tripod that adjusts to a comfortable height.

From the advent of the “space race” with the V-2 rocket of World War II to the International Space Station and the future, a complete and detailed chronicling of vehicles is given, side by side with pictures and details of models that depict the multitude of aircraft and spacecraft developed throughout the world.In addition, extensive appendices provide details of all of the space-related models ever made and the many manufacturers and distributors who have supplied them – all in the words of an experienced professional insider. Mat Irvine worked in the BBC Visual Effects Department for 20 years, contributing to many projects including Doctor Who, Blake’s 7, Edge of Darkness, the various NASA flights, and many science and space-oriented documentaries and programs. Creating Space is presented in 12 chapters which logically group together the history, the vehicles and the models into logical and meaningful categories. This book will be equally valuable to space enthusiasts, modellers, and space historians. |

Sex In Space $17.95 Sex In Space by Laura S. Woodmansee, author of Women Astronauts and Women of SpaceAs hoteliers design zero-gravity hotel suites for out-of-this-world unions and with the first honeymoon in space already scheduled, this provocative account reveals the truth about romantic rendezvous in Earth’s orbit and beyond as well as the advantages and difficulties of having sex in space. Questions the space agencies are too embarrassed to discuss ? such as Has anyone “done it” in space? What will happen to the first baby conceived in space? and Have astronauts and cosmonauts practiced “docking maneuvers” while in orbit? ? are thoughtfully answered, while science-fiction myths about interstellar intercourse are dispelled. From chemistry to psychology, this exploration runs the reproductive and sexual gamut, from lust and sexual mechanics to conception, pregnancy, and birth in low-gravity situations. This title may not be suitable for all audiences. Parental guidance suggested. FEATURES: Paperback: 136 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing, Inc.

The Conquest of Space $23.95 The Conquest of Space by David Lasser with a new introduction by Sir Arthur C. ClarkeDavid Lasser stands as one of the least-known but extraordinary pioneers of spaceflight. In 1930 he founded the American Interplanetary Society – the same year he wrote this book – the first book ever written in the English language to address the notion of spaceflight as a serious possibility. This book has not been in print since 1931 and yet it still stands up to scrutiny. The lucid style with which Lasser explains the basic concepts of rocketry make it a delight for anyone to read. Only a handful of errors creep into the text and all of those were based on the best information available at the time. The Conquest of Space is a milestone work of spaceflight literature and was state of the art in 1931. No space enthusiast’s library is complete without it. Here is what Sir Arthur C. Clarke had to say about The Conquest of Space… “My encounter with The Conquest of Space, soon after its publication in 1931, was one of the turning points in my life, and I suspect, not only of mine�” FEATURES: Hardcover: 192 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing Inc (September 1, 2002) Language: English Book Dimensions: 9.8 x 6.8 x 0.9 inches |

Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide $29.95 Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide In the interest of getting kids interested in science, math, space, ……..Lonnie Schorer invited 6000 students, in 99 schools in every state in the US and from Canada, to take an imaginary trip to space – each asking 3 questions prior to launch. This resulted in 18,000 questions, answered by 83 experts. So, this is: An art book: there are 146 student illustrations in the book and another 1000+ on the CD/ROM accompanying the book, set to Hawkwind soundtracks. A science teachers textbook: packed with science information in 94 different categories. A reading literacy book: a children’s story, in large font, precedes each chapter – introducing younger children to the material in the chapter in simple everyday terms. A career guide: a mini-bio for each of the 83 experts is included so that kids can see that one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to participate in the space effort. An adult book: The average adult does not know 85% of the information in the book. It would seem an investigative expedition, where children think about tomorrow, learn techniques for problem solving to reach a goal, explore the unknown and express their visions for the future is, as an educational exploration, as relevant as a land-based expedition. It is essentially the first private citizens guide to space – generated by children. These children are our future explorers, and we need to encourage and reach them now. Kids To Space Special Edition Author: Lonnie Jones Schorer Reading Level: Ages 9-12 Format: Paperback Pages: 384 Includes CD-ROM Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing (Apogee Books) Date: 2006 |
