Lunar Impact: A History of Project Ranger
ISBN: 9781497451391 / Angielski / Miękka / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. R. Cargill Hall has written a history.

In commendable contrast, Hall organized a coherent narrative and analysis of complex institutions, people, ideas, and machines changing in character and in relationship one to another over time. His history of the Ranger...
