For Everyone - A Great Book About The First Moon Landing

Released to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this book presents a nice summary of the first moon landing mission from the training of the astronauts to their post-landing quarantine, through the use of numerous black and white and color photographs and supporting text. This book also includes some brief information about the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions that lead up to the first moon landing. There are also several shorts sections which examine the influence of the space race on several aspects of pop-culture of the 1950's and 1960's, by examining such topics as classic science fiction movies, television shows, space toys and NASA art. Even though this book is relatively short, it is a wonderful and nostalgic look back at one of the greatest moments in the history of the United States of American and all of humanity and is book that can be enjoyed by both young and old alike.
