(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Stephen Biesty. This informative guide to the history of space exploration is organized into sections on ancient astronomy, spacecraft and means of propulsion, etc. Jenkins's commentary is clear and conversational yet sophisticated. Biesty's intricate illustrations are a marvel; copiously labeled, they evoke the precision and detail of engineering schematics, but with clever design decisions in layout, detail, and color that make each image friendly and inviting. Timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
