Section: Yueh“Un empire très céleste: La Chine à la conquête de l’espace”Ken Murphy / 3:08 pm January 1st, 2008 Sourbès-Verger, Isabelle & Denis Borel “China Lunar Exploration Program”Ken Murphy / 4:44 am November 23rd, 2007  ? “Scientific Focus Series: Chang’e 1 (Spacecraft?)”Ken Murphy / 5:35 pm November 22nd, 2007  ? (Peter Peng?) “Chao Yue Guang Han - Yue Qiu Kai Fa De Mi Ren Qian Jing”Ken Murphy / 5:25 pm November 22nd, 2007  Wang Jiaji Librarian’s Note: I can’t read the text, but the imagery is an exploration of the concepts of Moonbases that have appeared in print and in fiction, leading ultimately to things like wormholes and interstellar spacecraft. I recognize a lot of science fiction images, though of course the overall preponderance of images in the book are NASA-related. Rombaut’s ‘Moon Hotel’ is in there as well. It comes across as a nice familiarization exercise in the idea of people not just visiting the Moon, but living and working at a base there as well, an admittedly ‘alien’ idea to most folks. The whole series is quite well done from what I can understand of the charts, graphs and illustrations, and I would guess is aimed at about the talented high school/college level. These were found at the Chinese equivalents of a Barnes & Noble or Borders. (i.e. large bookstores in public shopping areas) I honestly can’t think of an in-print English-language Moon-related equivalent that I could pick up at my local bookstore to help inspire future workers in high-technology industries. Perhaps there’s a thing thing or three that we could learn from the Chinese about cultivating a future workforce. “Chang-e Ben Yue - Zhongguo De Tan Yue Fang Lue Ji Qi Shi Shi”Ken Murphy / 5:23 pm November 22nd, 2007  Zou Yongliao “Ao Xiang Jiu Tian - Cong Ren Zao Wei Xing Dao Yue Qiu Tan Ce Qi”Ken Murphy / 5:21 pm November 22nd, 2007  Zhang Hao “Changong lansheng: renlei renshi de yueqiu shijie”Ken Murphy / 5:18 pm November 22nd, 2007  WANG Shijie Librarian’s Note: I don’t yet read Chinese, so any help in providing the pinyin of the title and author(s) would be greatly appreciated. Chang’e-1 (Spacecraft?) (1/45th Scale Model)Ken Murphy / 1:45 am November 21st, 2007  Chang’e-1 (Spacecraft?) Librarian’s Note: I picked this one up at a really cool display on the Chinese Space Program at the Xidan bookstore in Beijing. 3D Moon GlobeKen Murphy / 1:15 am November 21st, 2007    3D Moon Globe Librarian’s Note: This appears to have been published in association with some institution, possibly the Beijing Planetarium, but not the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum where I picked it up. A neat little craftwork project for kids to assemble a cardstock Moon globe. Chinese Moon GlobeKen Murphy / 1:08 am November 21st, 2007  Moon Globe Librarian’s Note: Sweeet! Found this at the Beijing Ancient Observatory. Labeled in Chinese, but includes the Apollo landing sites. It’s about the same size as my Replogle Moon Globe, maybe a bit larger. It is certainly of a much browner complexion than my other one. Definitely a nice addition to the Lunar Library. “Yueqiu Mima” (’Moon Code’)Ken Murphy / 9:56 pm November 18th, 2007  ? “To The Moon”Ken Murphy / 9:50 pm November 18th, 2007  ? “Beautiful Moon”Ken Murphy / 12:58 am January 1st, 2006  ? Librarian’s Note: A nice find at the Beijing Ancient Observatory, this is drawn heavily from Rukl’s “Atlas of the Moon”. Comes with fold-out posters of the front and back sides of the Moon. “Proximity Moon”Ken Murphy / 1:25 am September 1st, 2005  ? Librarian’s Note: This came with my Moon Globe. I’d call it a youth version of “Beautiful Moon” given their similarities. “China’s Space Program: From Conception to Manned Spaceflight”Ken Murphy / 1:57 am January 1st, 2004 Harvey, Brian “The Chinese Space Program: A Mystery Within a Maze”Ken Murphy / 6:09 pm January 1st, 1998 Johnson-Freese, Joan |
