Editorial Reviews

For the independently inquisitive reader/browser or report- bent student, have available Ms. Becklake's outstanding, wide- range overview of stars, planets, and spacecraft. Dramatic, detailed-filled, full-color drawings, photographs and computer-enhanced images are integrated with and provide background for each of Sue Becklake's two- to four-page chapters. With short introductory paragraphs, annotations, and sidebarred subtopics, she elaborates on such areas as space flight, space probes and how they work, and our future in space.
