The Making of Stanley Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey
Get closer than ever to the movie that changed the movies. This behind-the-scenes spectacular of 2001: A Space Odyssey sheds light on the lead actors, senior production designers, special-effects experts and masterminds of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, who together revolutionized science fiction and the art of cinema.
Previously available as part of the multi-volume and instant sell-out Collector's Edition, this comprehensive visual record includes on and off set photographs, pre-production paintings, and conceptual designs from the Kubrick archives. These dazzling images offer insight both into Kubrick's meticulous directorial methods, and into the mysteries and magnetism of a film at once vast in scope and intricate in its exploration of our relationship to technology.
Written and researched over several years by the outer space, special effects, and technology journalist Piers Bizony, this compendium is both an exhaustive labour of love and a monument to a masterpiece of 20th century culture.
Měsíc na dosah
Spisovateľ a vizionár Arthur C. Clarke po ukončení misií na Mesiac v roku 1972 povedal: „Možno prídu časy, keď si ľudia na Spojené štáty alebo dokonca na svet svojich predkov na vzdialenej planéte Zem spomenú iba vďaka projektu Apollo." Pred päťdesiatimi rokmi vstúpili prví astronauti na obežnú dráhu Zeme a vydali sa v ústrety neznámemu svetu: na Mesiac. Pri tejto historickej misii, ktorá sa zapísala do dejín amerického aj svetového výskumu vesmíru, vzniklo veľké množstvo fotografií mimoriadnej kvality. Všetky boli nafotené výlučne fotoaparátmi značky Hasselblad. V knihe Měsíc na dosah nájdete reprezentatívny výber zo snímok, ktoré dokumentujú najväčšie úspechy agentúry NASA: od projektov Mercury a Gemini až po misie Apollo, od zlatého veku raketoplánov až po súčasné vesmírne stanice.
Starman
The definitive biography of Yuri Gagarin, re-published with new material to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of his momentous flight into space.
On April 12 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to leave the Earth's atmosphere and venture into space. An icon of the 20th century, he also became a danger to himself and a threat to the Soviet state. At the age of 34, he was killed in a plane crash. Based on KGB files, restricted documents from Russian space authorities, and interviews with his friends and colleagues, this biography of the Russian cosmonaut reveals a man in turmoil: torn apart by powerful political pressures, fighting a losing battle against alcoholism and rebelling against the cruelties of a corrupt totalitarian regime.
2011 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Gagarin's flight. This new edition of Starman includes a new afterword that celebrates the importance of that momentous expedition and reflects on Gagarin's legacy.
