5.0 out of 5 stars godwin and apogee, June 16, 2006
This review is from: Apollo 11: First Men On The Moon (Pocket Space Guides) (Paperback)
As someone who sat on a console during apollo 11-17, i've come to appreciate the exhaustively accurate and detailed work that Richard Godwin has done on this fine work. I might add that i've read most of the other Apogee offerings, from the X-15 history to the Mars Missions, and they all share these characteristics. Might i offer an opinion that they are also a fine read. Highly highly recommended.

This review is from: Apollo 11: First Men On The Moon (Pocket Space Guides) (Paperback)
Thirty quick read pages reflecting the historical roots and developments that lead to the first moon landing. It's a simple, good, "primer," accompanied by good pictures and straightforward factual details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Apollo 11: First Men on the Moon, June 12, 2006
This review is from: Apollo 11: First Men On The Moon (Pocket Space Guides) (Paperback)
Along with the other books in this series I can thoroughly recommend this book to adults and school children alike. It puts the whole story of the first landing with all the relevant statistics in an easy to read format. Robert Godwin has taken a subject that could be boring - and made it fascinating. He obviously knows and loves his subject and this comes through in his writing. Enthralling AND informative! Great value too!
