Jules Verne (1828-1905) was internationally famous as the author of novels based on ‘extraordinary voyages.’ His visionary use of new travel technologies inspired his readers to look to the industrial future rather than the remote past for their dreams of adventure. The popularity of his novels led directly to modern science fiction.In From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon, Jules Verne turned the ancient fantasy of space flight into a believable technological possibility – an engineering dream for the industrial age. Directly inspired by Verne’s story, enthusiasts worked successfully at overcoming the practical difficulties, and within a century, human beings did indeed fly to the Moon. Curiously, however, Verne is unlikely to have thought it possible that a manned projectile could actually be fired out of a giant cannon, rising higher than the Moon, swinging around it, and then landing safely back on Earth. He had used the science of the day to construct a literary conjuring trick, a hoax, one of the most successful in all history. By skilful misdirection he drew the attention of readers away from weaknesses in the project. Read the book and you, too, will be fooled into accepting the realistic possibility ...

Jules Verne wrote The Courier of the Czar in 1876, according to Michael Strogoff. It is regarded as one of Verne's best books by critic Leonard S. Davidow. Jules Verne hasn't written a greater book than this, according to Davidow, and it is rightfully regarded as one of the most exciting stories ever written. It is not science fiction, in contrast to several of Verne's other books, but rather uses a scientific phenomenon as a plot element. A play based on the book was later created by Verne and Adolphe d'Ennery. The play's incidental music was composed by Franz von Suppé in 1893 and Alexandre Artus in 1880. The book has had numerous adaptations for movies, television shows, and cartoons. Michael Strogoff, a native of Omsk, age 30, serves as a messenger for Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Strogoff is dispatched to Irkutsk to inform the governor of the treacherous former colonel Ivan Ogareff, who was once degraded and exiled by this Tsar brother, who is now a traitor. Now that he has the governor's trust, he plans to betray both of them and Irkutsk to the Tartar hordes in order to exact revenge.

Who's Who in the Moon is aimed not only at the beginner or near-beginner, but also at the backyard astronomer who is perhaps experienced in other areas of observation but who has decided to spend more time considering the Moon as an alternative target. The book provides a visual introduction to our closest celestial neighbour, opening with an introductory section which details not only the history of lunar mapping and naming of lunar formations, but also provides useful information on observing the lunar surface and what observers can realistically expect to see when they look at the Moon with the naked eye, binoculars or a small/medium telescope. The introductory section is followed by a lengthy series of images, including not only wide field panoramic views, but also a large number of more detailed images showing close-up views of different areas of the Moon and featuring individual craters, mountains, valleys and much more. Many of the individual features shown on these images are identified by name and are accompanied by biographical sketches relating to the men and women after whom they are named. This is a non-technical, up-close-and-personal visual look at the Earth’s only natural satellite and many of the individual ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Footprints forever etched in time. A commemorative patch from a tragic flight. Two golf balls, still lodged in frozen dust 238,900 miles away. From the amusing to the poignant, The Museum on the Moon introduces readers to the mysterious objects left on the lunar surface since humans arrived in 1969. Part history, part poetry, heartwarming and haunting, and illustrated with breathtaking graphite drawings, The Museum on the Moon is a moving exhibit of humankind''s most famous quest for knowledge and our place in the universe. From the book: The primary goals of the United States'' NASA Apollo program (1961-1972) were to establish space technology, carry out scientific exploration of the moon, and to develop ways for humans to work in the lunar environment. Six missions-Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, and 17-landed American astronauts on the moon. The astronauts carried with them a variety of items that are now artifacts-some personal mementos, some tools and equipment for the purpose of moon transport and experimentation, and other things, like human waste products, unavoidable. Because the moon has virtually no atmosphere, these things remain on the moon, just as they were, and will presumably continue to be there for years to come. The ... Unknown localization key: "more"
