Children's Literature
Like all books created by the DK staff, there's a lot of information crammed into the topically arranged pages of this Eyewitness Book of Space Exploration. Most of it is what you'd expect to see in an overview of such a broad topic. Two sections, however, make the book more than worth its purchase price. "Space Technology on Earth" and "The Future in Space" excite the reader by revealing what has been made possible in our current lives as a result of space exploration. They also point to what may very well become possible both in space and at home as we Earthlings become more knowledgeable about and comfortable with the final frontier.
