"Apollo to the Moon, A History of 50 Objects" by Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony, with inputs from Astronaut Mike Collins, is an intriguingly eclectic mix of artifacts presented in a small format book. With endless parts, some of which never existed before the manned space flight required them, the book takes us through the workings and associated minutiae of the Apollo program. Alongside the big items, such as the 'Columbia' Command Module and Gene Kranz's famous white vest, we encounter small parts such as "Urine Collection and Transfer Assembly," "Michael Collin's shaving razor," and "Walter Cronkite's LM model," all of whose contributions to the Apollo mission the author explores. With good graphics, color photographs, mini-biographies of some lesser-known but essential figures in the Apollo program, the book captures all nuances of the Apollo mission. While some artifacts may seem like padding to some readers, and some peripheral associations with Apollo could have been avoided, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the mission and is indeed worth the money.
