After Space: Exploring the Moon, the Planets, and Beyond (Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2006) and Visions of Mars (HNA Books, 2005), which sold more than 50,000 copies in the United States, de Goursac is releasing for the first time restored photos of the Apollo missions in MOON. With these never-before-seen original NASA photographs and stunning panoramic pictures, he once again invites his readers to travel alongside the astronauts on the Moon and discover its mysterious landscapes.

Col. David R. Scott flew the two most technical and difficult Apollo missions ever attempted (Apollo 9, as command module pilot, and Apollo 15, as mission commander). Dr. James Garvin is the chief scientist for NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. He developed the requirements for the first U.S. robotic precursor missions to the moon: the 2008 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
