Astra Publishing House Tee Time on the Moon: How Astronaut Alan Shepard
Book SynopsisAstronaut Alan Shepard's mission: Fly to the moon. Study it in more detail than ever before. Hit a golf ball in low gravity. But how far? Find out in this engaging STEM/STEAM picture book. In 1971, Alan Shepard and his fellow astronauts made their way to the Moon in the cramped Apollo 14 capsule. Their mission: Study the moon in more detail than ever before. While the world watched on TV, Shepard and Edgar Mitchell gathered rock and soil samples wearing stiff, heavy spacesuits. But Alan Shepard had a secret hidden in his sock: two tiny golf balls. Golf was Shepard's favorite sport. And since the moon has virtually no atmosphere and gravity that is only a fraction of the Earth's, a golf ball should have been able to go far. But did it? Here's the little-known but true story of an experiment that may have started as a stunt, but ended up making people think differently about the moon, ask questions, and look for answers.Trade Review"The author adds plenty of carefully researched detail to a story that is usually barely mentioned in histories, if at all, and, at the end, a very helpful overview of every Apollo mission and what it accomplished." —Kirkus Reviews"The extensive back matter briefly summarizes each Apollo moon mission as well as Shepard’s career as an astronaut. A fresh approach to the history of space exploration." —Booklist"Kelly’s well-researched retelling of this unusual story...does a little fact-checking on Shepard, who...became the 'first human to play a sport on the Moon.' Fotheringham’s digital art uses a limited color palette that gives the story a vintage feel." —The Horn Book“Tee Time on the Moon introduces readers to the thrill of the Apollo missions while inspiring them to see connections between our life on Earth and the exploration of the Moon and space. The book is engaging, informative, and an excellent distillation of the magic and innovation of the Apollo era.”—Dr. Waleed Abdalati, former NASA Chief Scientist “People have always been fascinated by the Moon. The Apollo missions only increased that fascination. When you add in a great astronaut who decides to play golf on the Moon, you have Tee Time on the Moon, a thriller that will keep young readers mesmerized. It is great to find a writer and artist who have created a book that engages students in science and technology.”—Farouk El-Baz, secretary, Lunar Landing Site Selection Committee for the Apollo program“David Kelly captures the adventure and playful spirit of Apollo 14 in this delightful retelling of Alan Shephard’s journey to the Moon.” —Teasel Muir-Harmony,Curator of the Apollo Collection, Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

Book SynopsisThis entertaining book navigates readers through the history of car production and offers a front-seat view of the science and engineering that makes the world?s most important vehicle safe for us to drive.Cars take us to work. To school. To soccer practice. To the grocery store and home again. Can you imagine a world without them? It?s not easy! One of the reasons we can use cars so much in our everyday lives is because they are safe to drive. But that hasn?t always been the case. If it weren?t for the experiments conducted over decades that involved all kinds of crash test volunteers?dead, alive, animal, or automated?cars as we know them might not be around. And then how would you get to school? Filled with fun four-wheeled nuggets of history and explanations of how cars actually work, this nonfiction book from former science educator and award-winning author Jennifer Swanson will appeal to lovers of all things that go and readers who are interested in getting in under the hood and seeing how things work.
