Still a Fantastic Book!

It's been some years since I first bought and read this book and since then I've learned so much more about Apollo from other sources-DVD, books, websites etc. But I picked this off the shelf again and still find it to be one of the finest 'technical' books about Project Apollo. Mr Allday has cut through the jargon-or should I say explained it well-and presented an account of how men were sent to the Moon. I wish Mr Allday would write a follow up with more detail, perhaps-I'd be the first person to buy it!
It's a brilliant book and I'm now going to buy a hard backed copy(at considerable cost!) as a keep-sake and in the hope it'll inspire my future generation!
Buy this and understand Project Apollo in an enjoyable accessible way!
Fills in the Gaps

I was delighted when I found this book in the University bookshop. I've read many books on project Apollo but none of them tackle the nitty griity of spaceflight and those that do require more than my Advance Level of physics to understand! This book has bridged that gap. It's written informatively and with authority but is always readable. It has explained some things I could never quite understand, or get an answer form some of the academics here in my universty (if one jumps up in a rotating space station does one come down again?). Apollo in Perspective looks out of place next to my Neurophysiology texts and papers, but it's the one book that eveyone picks up when they come into my office! Buy this, now!
