STARRED REVIEW! This outstanding follow-up to Capstone's "Captured History" series continues the same format, focusing on a single, emblematic photograph that defines an era or event. . . .This set will show students how a single image can "capture" history and influence the perceptions and actions of those who see it. The books will certainly draw a large readership and are must-buys for all middle-level and secondary collections., ...the latest in an excellent series of books. . . .Nardo looks at other space-based photos of Earth; explores the art and history of imagining journeys above Earth's surface; and talks about the cultural impact of the Blue Marble photo.

A piece of blue in space -- Dreamers of what might be -- An illuminated globe -- A world without borders.
Synopsis
The astronauts headed to the moon in December 1972 thought they knew what to expect. They would soon be exploring the moon's surface in a lunar rover, traveling farther than anyone before them. They would be collecting soil and rock samples for study back on Earth and could expect to learn about the moon's physical makeup and age. But what they didn't expect came as a huge bonus. The astronauts of Apollo 17 would produce an amazing photograph of planet Earth--a lonely globe floating in inky black space. Their stunning Blue Marble image was destined to become one of the most reproduced and recognizable photos in history. And no one is 100 percent sure who took it., The astronauts headed to the moon in December 1972 thought they knew what to expect.
