Andrew L. Jenks

Collaboration in Space and the Search for Peace on Earth (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There has been quite a bit of scholarship on the history of the space race, but collaboration in space has received little attention and has usually been dismissed as a propaganda side show. This book thus fills a critical gap by showing the importance of collaboration in space as an antidote to Cold War hostilities and as an important yet underappreciated episode in the development of science and technology in the twentieth century.
