Customer Review: Treasure Island / 0-375-75682-5 There's been so many movies based on Treasure Island that it's almost impossible not to be somewhat familiar with the story. Stevenson shines here, managing to carefully craft a story for children that will also appeal to adults. The boy hero of the story is... more info
Customer Review: I was forced to read this book by school but I have to admit it was pretty good. It definitly isn't the best book I have ever read but it acually was worth reading.

If you know nothing about Russian space this will tell you something but I suspect there are much... more info

This book contains the press kit, pre and post mission reports and the transcript with... more info
Customer Review: A very in depth study of the mechanical and human caused disaster of the Columbia space shuttle. While very tedious and technical in terms, one must realize this is a report and not a "Book". NASA again caught up in the mindset that we have done this so many times that we have a full understanding... more info
Customer Review: Once again, Robert Godwin and Apogee Books have compiled a great set of NASA documents about the early era of manned space exploration.
