This is the second book in a series of special monographs prepared by the NASA History Office. The series Monographs in Aerospace History is designed to provide a wide range of concise monographs referred to the history of aeronautics and astronautics, which may be of use to aerospatial historians. Since the implementation of the Apollo program, numerous books, studies, reports and articles have been written about this project. To build up this bibliography, the works considered to be as the most essential ones for the researchers who intend to widen their knowledge about the varied history of the Apollo program have been selected here. (Extracted from the Preface.)
GENERAL TABLE OF CONTENTS
OUR REVIEW This book is very useful as a starting point to initiate any study on the Apollo program, and also for those readers who wish to know of the existence of books in the English language about some aspect or other of the project so as to look for them and use them as reference books. Each reference is accompanied with a brief explanatory text, which states the most important quality of the work, the one that makes it merit to be included in the bibliography, and also data about it. This fact is very useful indeed, as well as the thematic order in which the references appear. Eight of the ten chapters deal with different aspects of the Apollo project. Chapter six is devoted to divulgative works on the moon flights, oriented towards a general readership, which have had a special importance in their contribution to make society aware of the need for the human activity on the Moon. There also appear summaries of fiction works which have likewise played this role. The tenth chapter is a selection of divulgative works specifically oriented towards a teenage and junior readership. |
