Industry reviews
Gr 4-6-Fans of loud, dangerous machines will lament only the mediocre illustrations in this wide-angle history of rockets, from the kind launched from soda bottles to the monsters that carried men to the Moon. Miller opens with homespun demonstrations of Isaac Newton's relevant principles, then retraces the chain of experiments, disasters, and refinements that began with Archytas of Tarentum's steam-driven wooden pigeon and culminated in the mighty Saturn 5. In his view, the modern history of rocketry is a grand amalgam of Big Science and backyard tinkering; over 300,000 people worked on the Saturn 5, but some parts for the recently tested, single-stage McDonnell Douglas DC-X were purchased at Kmart. Taking pains to point out how many uses rockets have beyond carrying weapons, Miller brings readers into the present era of active space exploration and space-plane designs that look beyond the shuttle, then closes with both a page of recommended books and two pages of Web sites. Only the drab, black-and-white, sometimes out-of-focus photographs will keep this from zooming off library shelves-and, as books about our exploration of space tend to zero in on payloads rather than the vehicles that carry them, this will fill a gap in most collections.-John Peters, New York Public Library
