5.0 out of 5 stars You feel you are along for the ride., 27 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Never before has any book on those first tentative, dangerous voyages to the moon managed to come within a Lunar Mile of this awe inspiring work...To say that Michael Light (with considerable assistance from a number of digital specialists) has managed to present to the reader a series of images that leap from the beautifully designed pages with a vividness I have found breathtaking is to dwell in the land of gross understatement. The digital scans from the master negatives and transparencies are the sharpest, most biting images of those times I have seen...Colour is used sparingly, with intelligence...the majority of the photographs including the amazing cover image are in black and white from an archive of rarely used material and are therefore incredibly graphic in their representation of the lunar surface. but the most striking feature of this masterwork is the emotive power of those images (you cannot simply call them photgraphs because it is obvious that Michael Light's personal vision is present in both the choice of stills and also in the way they have been assembled in this book, often spanning in gatefold fashion two full pages).

5.0 out of 5 stars Awe-inspiring, 31 Jan 2001
By mail@paulbrian.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
These beautiful photographs simply take your breath away. You almost feel as if you're there.

A fitting testament to the Apollo program and all the people who made it happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Histroical Account in Pictures, 16 Jun 1999
By A Customer
It seems a fitting that this book has been published so close to the 30th Anniversary of the first moon landing. This work is simply breath taking! Many of us have heard the stories of the photograph entitled "Earthrise" and how amazing it is. But I've was never overly impressed by the image until I saw it in this book. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I was speechless. It seems that the photos have been reproduced from the original NASA negatives and transparencies which accounts for the unusual clarity of the images. The images of the lunar lander close to gigantic mountains and craters gives one a real impression of what the astronauts achieved. These aren't pictures of gentle, flat planes we often see the LEM sitting on but, a rugged, hostile terrain that reminds me somewhat of the Peak District (England). I marvel at the astronauts flying abilities and courage. What I also like are the slightly smudged images (due to camera shake etc) that show that these are photographs taken by a person and not a remote control camera. I too like the smudged image of Gene Cernan covered in moondust. Apparently he had moondust under his fingernails for weeks after coming home. A landmark book!
