Reviews
Grade 4-5-- A conventional history of space exploration from Sputnik to Voyager , with a look into the near future, featuring paintings and photographs, some blurry, most in color, plus selected New York Times front pages. Writing in his usual clear, concise way, this reliable author focuses special attention on the achievements of the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs rather than on the personal lives of astronauts (although readers may infer that only the women are married Sally Ride or have children Christa McAuliffe). Except for the Challenger explosion, he does not discuss the space program's reverses, nor, except for the early days, the programs of other countries; in addition, some of the photo captions are confusing. Sullivan closes with a chronology that becomes speculative with the launching of the Hubble Space Telescope last April and a bibliography that is also dated. Limitations aside, this covers a wide field in some depth, and may be useful to smaller collections. --John Peters, New York Public Library
