I thought there might be some merit in UMSF members alerting each other to forthcoming books that seem especially interesting. This book complements Phil Stooke's new book quite well, and looks like a lot of fun:
Robert Godwin -- The Lunar Exploration Scrapbook (Apogee Books) coming Dec. 1, 2007 (224 pages) $18.48 at Amazon.com (US site) Description: From single-seat landers to rocket backpacks and lunar bulldozers, this study takes readers into the imagination of the world's top aerospace engineers by presenting NASA's lunar spacecraft research. A unique blend of history and imagination, this resource covers not only the actual exploration of the moon conducted during the Apollo program of the 1960s and 1970s, but also includes a presentation of dozens of spacecraft that were never built. Vivid, colorful renderings of the conceptual crafts--many of which are not available anywhere else--are also included, providing a visual progression of NASA's technological advancements. (At least I hope this isn't redundant of Phil Stooke's forthcoming reference standard.) |

This is the publisher's page for my new book - out around December. This is the first time I've seen the cover design. That image from Opportunity near Wdowiak Ridge was made by James Sorenson, who kindly let me use it for the cover. Thanks, James! -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Update: looks like we will be delayed a couple of months, so released in the spring, but no firm date yet.
