THE CONTINUING STORY OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (Springer-Praxis, 2002)
The full story of the birth and first years in orbit of the International Space Station, the largest and most expensive space programme ever undertaken, with contributions from the USA, Russia, Japan, Canada and many European countries.
* "An interesting and easy-to-read account of the ISS, the people involved with it, and the many problems it has faced and will face in the future." (Astronomy & Space).
* "The definitive story of the of the ISS to date." (Sky at Night)
* "Now four years old, the International Space Station has yet to inspire much affection. This extremely detailed yet readable reference book might cause people to think differently." (Astronomy Now)
* "Expecting a catalogue of cold facts, I was pleasantly surprised to find this book written with feeling and at times, an undercurrent of humour. The book both supplies answers I have not been able to find previously and is a record of the ISS up to the beginning of 2002. I thoroughly recommend it." (Southern Stars)
* "This book does an excellent job of looking back at the history of various space station projects, including the short-lived Skylab and the long-lived Mir, before detailing the science, politics, training and finance behind the current ISS .... the definitive story of the ISS to date." (Focus)
