the world from the air and outer space
From the first airborne camera in 1858 to 1959 when we saw our world for the first time from 19,500 miles from America's spacecraft Explorer VI- and now from successive Apollo space flights- the camera has brought us a new conception and understanding of the universe. Airviews are valuable in many fields of endeavor- scientific and in business- and have an aesthetic value that is only now becoming appreciated. There are over 100 photographs and rare prints in this book.
