- Synopsis
- Suitable for high school and general readers, this volume traces the evolution of the rocket from ancient Chinese fire arrows to ballistic missiles to the latest robotic spacecraft. It explains underlying scientific principles, provides capsule biographies of innovators in the field, and forecasts developments for the near and distant future. Features include b&w illustrations, a chronology, an extensive glossary, and a listing of cyberspace sites. Retired from the U.S. Air Force, Angelo teaches introductory astronomy (Rollins College, Florida) and is a technical writer/futurist. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
