Présentation de l'éditeur
The race to the moon was won spectacularly by Apollo 11 on 20 July 1969. When astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their 'giant step' across a ghostly lunar landscape, they were watched by some 600 million people on Earth 250,000 miles away. 'A Man on the Moon' is the definitive account of the heroic Apollo programme: from the tragedy of the fire in Apollo 1 during a simulated launch, through the euphoria of the first moonwalk, to the discoveries made by the first scientist in space aboard Apollo 17. Drawing on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with the astronauts and team, this is the story of the twentieth century's greatest human achievement, minute-by-minute, in the words of those who were there.
Note : The book contains 688 pages , but only pages 1 - 670 are numbered. The other 18 pages are images and are not numbered.
Revue de presse
"Recounts in loving detail the standing Apollo epic . . . with verve and intelligence."
-The New York Times Book Review
"The power of A Man on the Moon truly astounded me. . . . I found myself transported, reminded of all that was wonderful about Apollo. I laughed and cried."
-Dava Sobel, author of Longitude and Galileo's Daughter
"More inside stories, more details, recollections, and feelings of all the men who traveled to the moon than any other account of the Apollo program."
-The Christian Science Monitor

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first moon landing, Time-Life Books presents a three-volume illustrated set of the acclaimed work by Andrew Chaikin, A Man on the Moon. Chaikin's definitive account of the Apollo missions is brought to life with more than 500 illustrations and photographs, including some extremely rare or never-before-published photos collected from the archives of NASA, Life Magazine and even the astronauts themselves. The Time-Life edition also contains paintings by Apollo astronaut Alan Bean, commissioned artists' renderings and diagrams of the inner workings of spacesuits and rockets. The three-book commemorative set is showcased in a beautifully illustrated 4-color slipcase. A decade in the making, this book is based on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with each of the twenty-four moon voyagers, as well as those who contributed their brain power, training and teamwork on Earth. In his preface Chaikin writes, We touched the face of another world and became a people without limits. What follows are thrilling accounts of such remarkable experiences as the rush of a liftoff, the heart-stopping touchdown on the moon, the final hurdle of re-entry, competition for a seat on a moon flight, the tragic spacecraft fire, and the search for clues to the origin of the solar system on the slopes of lunar mountains.
