Section: Youth“Cosmic”Ken Murphy / 1:07 am January 22nd, 2010 Boyce, Frank Cottrell Librarian’s Note: Fresh out this week here in the U.S., so far (p. 49) this one is a brisk and engaging read. Make that a delightful read, and one that the grownups should read after their kids are done, as it gets pretty much everything right. “Inside Science: Moon and Tides”Ken Murphy / 2:13 am January 12th, 2010 Lang, Rob “Inside Science: Comets and Meteors”Ken Murphy / 2:11 am January 12th, 2010 Kelley, Jane “Inside Science: Space Station”Ken Murphy / 2:09 am January 12th, 2010 O’Brien, Bill “Faces of the Moon”Ken Murphy / 7:45 pm November 24th, 2009 Crelin, Bob. Illus. by Leslie Evans “Make: technology on your time Vol. 20″Ken Murphy / 12:39 am November 23rd, 2009 “Make: technology on your time Vol. 20″ “Astropuppies in Space: An Amazing Adventure for Young Astronauts” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 12:15 am November 23rd, 2009 Tully, Tim & Kathy Marty “Mini-RF” (fact sheet)Ken Murphy / 2:29 am November 18th, 2009  “Mini-RF” “Mini-RF” (litho)Ken Murphy / 2:24 am November 18th, 2009  “Mini-RF” “Carole Marsh Mysteries #27: The Mission Possible Mystery at Space Center Houston”Ken Murphy / 12:53 am November 6th, 2009 Marsh, Carole Librarian’s Note: Missing Moon rock, huh? Sounds like the summer I was at NASA Academy as Program Support and on our trip to JSC in Houston we were denied the opportunity to visit the Moon Rock Lab because some idiot interns thought they could steal a safe full of Moon rocks and sell them on the internet. Major Fail, and I think the idiot miscreants are still where they belong. That was just a bad year, as some idiot fundamentalists had gotten it into their heads to fly some planes into some buildings, and so on the Academy trip to KSC we were denied a chance to visit the Orbiter Processing Facilities (OPFs) and the VAB. Yes, I’m still resentful to this day, as that was probably the only chance I’ll get in life to see the Moon rocks up close and fondle them, and not just shards in lucite which is what most people get to see through the Moon Rock Certification Program (run through NASA’s Educator Resource Center Network). “One Small Step” (art)Ken Murphy / 4:58 pm August 16th, 2009  Clemens, Sarah Librarian’s Note: I visited the Art Show while I was down at Armadillocon 31 to speak on the Return to the Moon panel, but wasn’t early enough to get the quick sale on this one. It went to auction and I had to go through a bidding war to get it for the Lunar Library, but I think it’s a terrific addition to the Lunar art collection. “Werewolves on the Moon versus Vampires #3″ (comic)Ken Murphy / 4:41 pm August 16th, 2009  Land, Dave & the Fillbach Brothers “Wandaba Style” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 4:32 pm August 16th, 2009 Mutsuki, Juzo Librarian’s Note: Billed as ‘Wacky Science Fiction Series’, this anime tells the story of Mix Juice, a girl group of wannabe pop stars, whose manager decides to make them famous with a performance as the first band on the Moon. They get there, but they should have read their contract a bit more carefully. “Apollo 11: The Moon Landing Logbook”Ken Murphy / 4:13 pm August 16th, 2009 Wilsher, Jane (Ed.) “Blast Off to the Moon”Ken Murphy / 3:56 pm August 16th, 2009 Nicholls, Paul (Illus.) “Werewolves on the Moon: versus Vampires #2″ (comic)Ken Murphy / 5:18 am July 17th, 2009  Land, Dave & the Fillbach Brothers
“Lunar Landing and Return: A Simplified Physics & Mathematics Investigation”Ken Murphy / 12:21 am July 9th, 2009 Lundy, Donald C. “Danger Mouse: Project Moon” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 11:56 pm July 8th, 2009  Cosgrove/Hall Productions “This is the way to the Moon”Ken Murphy / 12:04 am July 7th, 2009 Sasek, Miroslav “Paper Astronaut: The Paper Spacecraft Mission Manual”Ken Murphy / 11:39 pm June 30th, 2009 Cezzar, Juliette & Éditions Aéro-Dynamiques Librarian’s Note: Go into any hobby shop, and you’ll find plenty of models of airplanes and cars and ships, but rockets? You can have any rocket you want as long as it’s a Space Shuttle (or Apollo). Space interested model builders have adapted to this by promulgating a large number of paper models. The best round-up of links to paper models is over at Hobbyspace, but this book is a terrific introduction to the hobby with an international line-up of spacecraft. “Moon: Science, History and Mystery”Ken Murphy / 11:21 pm June 23rd, 2009 Ross, Stewart “Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?” (graphic novel)Ken Murphy / 12:04 am June 20th, 2009 Fies, Brian Librarian’s Note: I am beyond impressed with this one. The graphic style makes it appealing to younger audiences, but the story is subtle enough for adults to enjoy. Spanning the years from the 1939 World’s Fair in NYC to beyond the world of tomorrow, this one is clearly a labor of love, but also of genius. It serves as touching testimony to the fact that while yesterday may be forever lost to us, tomorrow never is. There’s no question this one gets a Full Moon at perigee rating. You owe it to yourself to check this one out. “One Giant Leap”Ken Murphy / 1:47 am June 6th, 2009 Burleigh, Robert. Illus. by Mike Wimmer “Mission Control, This is Apollo: The Story of the First Voyages to the Moon”Ken Murphy / 1:42 am June 6th, 2009 Chaikin, Andrew & Alan Bean “Werewolves on the Moon: versus Vampires #1″ (comic)Ken Murphy / 2:27 am June 4th, 2009  Land, Dave. Illus. by Matt & Shawn Fillbach Librarian’s Note: Not the first werewolves on our Moon story (q.v. Full Moon Fever), but certainly the goofiest of the lot. |
