Reviews
This title in the Frontiers in Space series offers a comprehensive history of rocketry, starting with the gunpowder rockets developed in thirteenth-century China and closing with the theoretical use of rockets in future interstellar probes and starships. The book offers a brief but thorough explanation of modern rocket technology and its applications in military weaponry and space exploration. One chapter examines the fundamentals of rocket propulsion, including the chemistry and physics behind it. A straightforward, jargon-free text explains the complex scientific and technological subjects. The abundant illustrations include diagrams, schematics, and photographs. An extensive chronology, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading close this useful resource for classroom support and independent research. Ed Sullivan
