Futures: 50 Years in Space

COMMENTS AND REVIEWS
Sir Arthur C Clarke “As a space-travel enthusiast since the late Jurassic (well, since 1933, when the British Interplanetary Society was founded) I welcome David Hardy's new book with my old friend Patrick Moore. Space has inspired many fine illustrators - their Patron Saint is Chesley Bonestell - but today David is their most gifted exponent. He is also very lucky: more and more wonderful images are arriving from Space to inspire both artists and writers. In 1968 I wrote "The challenge of the great spaces between the worlds is a stupendous one, but if we fail to meet it, the story of our race will be drawing to a close. Humanity will have turned its back upon the still untrodden heights and will be descending again the long slope that stretches, across a thousand million years of time, down to the shores of the primæval sea.” This is even more pertinent today and we need books such as this to remind us not only of the advances we have made, but of what we could be missing. . .” ......................................................................... Dr Brian May, Queen Guitarist and astronomer “David Hardy's space art is unique. He creates his own special kind of virtual reality; through his astounding vision and technique we glimpse landscapes in worlds where man has never set foot. One of my most treasured possessions is a painting by David Hardy of a total eclipse in Chile which we attended together. This captures the awesome beauty of the occasion far better than any photograph I have seen. So it is in these pages, where, through David's visionary art, we clearly 'see' the beginnings of the fulfillment of man's dreams of space. Futures is a fitting testament to David's long-standing collaboration with Sir Patrick Moore, who, through his record-breaking The Sky at Night BBC series, has inspired generations of astronomers. In the pages of this wonderful book these two men take us out to the stars. And beyond”

COMMENTS AND REVIEWS
"if it had had a cover price of £25 I would have considered it reasonably priced; £17.95 is a bargain". www.eternalnight.co.uk “Space art is high art…Our space artists extend our horizons and represent our future. What more could you ask of art?” The Guardian “this book is bound to sell well … Just make sure you get your first edition first.” sfcrowsnest.co.uk “David Hardy is livingproof at the age of 67 that you can teach an old dog new tricks. He has moved from working with oils and acrylicsto using a MAC and Adobe Photoshop CS” Digit "Moore uses clear and concise language throughout the book, keeping technical jargon to a minimum and creating a highly readable, easily digested text that will appeal to a wide range of readers." thealienonline.net
