FUTURES: 50 YEARS IN SPACE (The Challenge of the Stars)

The authors are David A. Hardy and Sir Patrick Moore and the book is available for pre-order now. It is being published in the UK by Artists and Photographers Press Ltd (May 2004) and in the USA by Harper Design International (October 2004). Patrick Moore and David Hardy first discussed a book to be called THE CHALLENGE OF THE STARS in 1954, when spaceships were streamlined, the Moon had tall, craggy mountains, and Mars had canals! They have seen a lot of changes in their 50 years as a unique author/artist team: there are no bases on the Moon or Mars, but we have seen amazing discoveries thanks to unmanned space probes and the Hubble Space Telescope. The universe has changed out of all recognition, fully covered in this book by lucid text and accurate but beautiful paintings, showing the future as seen in the 50s, the 70s—and the 2000s. . .
