Product Description

Product Description

July 20, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of the first manned landing on the Moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin of Apollo 11. The eleven Apollo missions are a benchmark in the annals of human exploration. "Apollo" is a photographic commemoration of the Apollo lunar missions as seen through the eyes of its astronauts. Each of the surviving 24 astronauts from the Apollo missions has chosen a favorite photograph from his mission especially for this book. These selections are accompanied by other iconic photographs from the Apollo missions. Best-selling astrophysicist Stephen Hawking contributes a foreword; veteran journalist Michael Cabbage's introduction explores the role of the astronaut as a witness to history; and, Robert Jacobs gives a brief narrative account of each mission.

3.0 out of 5 stars View from the Astronaut's camera....., 21 Jul 2009
By surfer pete (Suffolk, UK.) - See all my reviews
A book about the Apollo missions from the point of view of the Astronauts and the photos they took themselves.

Each chapter represents a different Apollo mission and has a brief introduction/history of the mission together with some general and a few training photos. This is then followed by the Astronaut's own favourite photos and thoughts on what they experienced at the time, or later upon reflection.

Although interesting, I was slightly disappointed by the quality of book's binding and the dust jacket seemed a bit scruffy; but on the whole the photographs are good quality in both colour & black and white.

I would have liked a longer book & with more detail, as it's only 130 pages or so long and so there isn't that much to read...

4.0 out of 5 stars incredible journey, 19 Jul 2009
By Andy (London) - See all my reviews
A child of the apollo era, the moon landings have fascinated me. This book uses each Apollo mission as a chapter with several photos which collectively through the book provide a complete journey from earth to the moon and back; the Apollo 11 capsule collected by the US Navy shows burns as if it was an over-boiled kettle.
A great value book if a little short.
For great photos of the moon missions look no further than Full Moon.
