Lucien Rudaux鈥檚 19th-century vision of the Moon remains accurate because
it sticks to geology rather than wishful thinking.
In Visions of Space: Artists Journey Through the Cosmos (Dragon鈥檚 World
pp 176 pounds 10.95 ppk), David Hardy has collected samples of the works
of space artists from around the world. Some New Age images of the cosmos
entangled with crystals and grasping hands are a bit lurid but the detailed
pictures showing how to engineer spacecraft fascinate as do the lunar and
other scapes.
