Product Description

Book Description
This book is a 'retrospective' of the work of space artist David A. Hardy with astronomer/author Sir Patrick Moore since their first book together in 1954. It compares the views, predictions and ideas in their major work, THE CHALLENGE OF THE STARS (1972 and 1978) with actual developments in space research and astronomy and the changes seen in that 50 years, with scores of original paintings by Hardy.

From the Back Cover
"David Hardy's space art is unique. He creates his own special kind of virtual reality. . . FUTURES is a fitting testament to David's long-standing collaboration with Sir Patrick Moore. . . In the pages of this wonderful book these two men take us out to the stars. And beyond." -- Dr Brian May, Queen guitarist and astronomer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Futures:50 Years In Space, 27 Sep 2004
By Glcave "John 'trekkie' Cave" (Huyton Mereyside U.K.) - See all my reviews
To put it quite simply, this is one of the most well written and beautifully illustrated books in the field of astronomy.
The book is written as an update to an earlier book The Challenge Of The Stars and brings the ideas of future space travel bang up to date with current space travel theories. Sir Patrick Moore takes a look at all the Planets in turn and gives the reasons of why and why not we will visit them. He then takes a trip much further afield into the depths of deep space.
Written in Sir Patrick Moores usual anecdotal style and beautifully illustrated by David Hardy, this book would make the ideal gift for beginners in astronomy to the more advanced observr.
