Saunders brings new, bold life to familiar photographs of the Space Race, and illuminates detail we have never seen before. Każde zdjęcie jest również opisane w ciekawy sposób, więc jest to książka również do czytania, a nie tylko do oglądania. All the images taken by the Apollo astronauts were already beautiful but the restoration done to all of them makes everything in these 50+ year old images really come to life.Using cutting-edge technology and special digital techniques, Saunders was able to revive these vintage photos in a way that will leave readers dumbstruck.
As awesome as the photos are, the captions are also worthy of attention, as they include not just details about the taking of the pictures, but fascinating facts about the missions. The result are large, fantastic images of space, the Earth and the Moon that are close to what the astronauts would have actually seen. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. If there is any book that a person should have who has any interest in art, photography, and spaceflight history, this is it. By comparison, printed media ever since the 60s and 70s were produced from duplicate film, or copies of the ‘dupes’; likely via further internegative copies, making them multiple generations away from the original and without the benefit of digital processing.Where this book is better than Apollo VII-XVII, beyond the impressive 400-ish full glossy pictures to look at, is the captions that go with the images. Now remastered, they capture in amazing detail what the astronauts saw during their missions and reveal their incredible views.
