Commercial space

Based on a TV series, Jack Challoner’s Equinox: Space is much
concerned with the Moon as a commercial opportunity, a place for tourism, for
mining operations and even for beaming solar energy to Earth. But it does reach
wider with a valuable section on the Sun and our dependence on it. It’s simply
written, so much so that it comes within distance of being flat. One of a new
series of Equinox-based books, it’s published by Channel 4 Books, £12.99,
ISBN 0752223313.
