In July 1969 the ‘amiable strangers’ that made up the crew of the historic Apollo 11 flight successfully achieved the first manned lunar landing. Several months later, three close friends set off on an even more challenging mission. Free of the burden of making history, the Apollo 12 astronauts were determined to really enjoy their experience while taking care of business. This is the story of their mission, told largely in their own words. Their exploits and accomplishments showed how conservative the inaugural mission had been. With its two moonwalks, deployment of the first geophysical station on the Moon, and geological sampling, Apollo 12 did what many had hoped would be achieved by the first men to land on the Moon. The Apollo 12 mission also spectacularly demonstrated the precision landing capability required for success in future lunar surface explorations. In addition to official documents, published prior to and after the mission, APOLLO 12 – ON THE OCEAN OF STORMS draws on the flight transcript and post-mission debriefing to recreate the drama.

In the near future, political tensions between the United States and China are at an all-time high. Then a catastrophic explosion on the moon cleaves a vast gash in the lunar surface, and the massive electromagnetic pulse it unleashes obliterates Earth's electrical infrastructure. To plumb the depths of the newly created lunar fissure and excavate the source of the power surge, the feuding nations are forced to cooperate on a high-risk mission to return mankind to the moon. Now, a diverse, highly skilled ensemble of astronauts--and a pair of maverick archaeologists plucked from the Peruvian jungle--will brave conspiracy on Earth and disaster in space to make a shocking discovery. Ocean of Storms is an epic adventure that spans space and time as its heroes race to fulfill an ancient mission that may change the course of humanity's future.

One of the twelve men who walked on the moon had the unique perspective of an artist and this book shares this vision through 120 of his paintings. In addition, Apollo flight manager Gene Kranz recalls the historical drama of the era from his perspective on the ground and art critic Donald Kurspit places this work in the context of contemporary art and landscape painting.

Lunar Science: A Post-Apollo View: Scientific Results and Insights from the Lunar Samples explains the scientific results and discoveries of the manned Apollo lunar missions as they are understood. The emphasis is less on sample description and data and more on the interpretative aspects of the study, with the aim of providing a coherent story of the evolution of the moon and its origin as revealed by the lunar samples and the Apollo missions. This text has seven chapters; the first of which provides a historical background of efforts to study the moon prior to the Apollo missions, including lunar photogeologic mapping and direct exploration by spacecraft. Attention then turns to the Apollo missions and the lunar samples collected, beginning with Apollo 11 that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 and followed by more missions. The next chapter describes the geology of the moon, with emphasis on craters, central peaks and peak rings, the large ringed basins, rilles, and maria lava flows. The reader is also introduced to the nature of the lunar surface material, the maria basalts, the highlands, and the moon's interior. This book concludes with a discussion on the evidence that has been gathered by the Apollo missions that offers insights into the origin and evolution of the moon. An epilogue reflects on the usefulness of manned space flight. This book will appeal to lunar scientists as well as to those with an interest in astronomy and space exploration.

This vibrant memoir features the life story of Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, focusing on Mitchell’s amazing journey to the Moon in 1971 and highlighting the many steps he took to get there. The former astronaut recounts his childhood as a farm boy in New Mexico; flying solo as a teen; living in Roswell during the alleged UFO crash; studying at Carnegie Mellon and MIT; his experiences as a navy combat pilot and finally a NASA astronaut. In suspenseful prose he details his historic flight to the Moon with Alan Shepard and Stu Roosa, describing everything from the practical—eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom in space—to the metaphysical, such as the life-changing sense of connectedness to the universe that he felt during his return to Earth. Resources include lists of websites about space, museums and organizations, films and videos, and books for further reading. Edgar Mitchell was the Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 14 mission and the sixth man to walk on the Moon. He is the author of The Way of the Explorer, Paradigm Shift, and The Space Less Traveled; the recipient of many medals and awards; the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He lives in Lake Worth, Florida. Ellen Mahoney is an instructor in the Department of Journalism and Technical Communication at Metro State University of Denver. She lives in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Brian Cox is a professor and Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Manchester School of Physics and Astronomy, Manchester, England.
