Space Race
In July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the Moon, marking an incredible achievement that took many years to complete. This compelling book chronicles the race to the Moon between the United States and the Soviet Union, including the creation of NASA, the first astronauts, and the monumental Apollo 11 mission.
* Reviews *
This interesting series covers a wide range of history, from the first landings of European explorers to the fairly recent space race that led to the moon landing. Thought it opens with a detailed discussion of the controversy surrounding the discovery of Kennewick Man, American Indians is broad, covering many diverse cultures over several thousand years. The other titles have a more focused analysis. Each one is well sourced, includes extensive back matter, and has a full complement of supporting color photographs or other illustrations that makes it accessible and useful to report writers and general readers., School Library Journal Fall 2008
