Hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth, a few brave men have risked their lives attempting the stuff of fantasies — to fly to the moon and walk on its surface. Alan Bean's book, "Apollo," is part of adventure-thriller, part documentary, part autobiography and part fine art book. With the historic flight of Senator John Glenn and the success of the Emmy-winning "From the Earth to the Moon," we are once again fascinated with these remarkable lunar missions — missions that challenged the inherent dangers of space travel.

"Alan Bean re-creates the drama and excitement of man's exploration of the moon." — Neil Armstrong
