Critics Review
LIBRARY JOURNAL “Chock-full of over 250 illustrations, here Nature magazine senior editor Reichhardt and Smithsonian experts delve into human flight chronologically, from early imagining and tethered objects (kites, balloons) to a zero-gravity coffee cup from the International Space Station. […] An enjoyable science-based browse for air and space buffs, with occasional whimsy (a tribble from Star Trek, a helmet from the Halo videogame’s Master Chief).”SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL“An outstanding nonfiction work focused on air and space, this is a stunning book that children and adults will be drawn to. […] Each chapter is introduced with a beautiful piece of artwork depicting the time period and consists of primary documents, photos of exhibits, and artifacts. […] A necessary purchase for all nonfiction sections, hand this to air and space enthusiasts, or those drawn to high interest books.”
