## Description

Review
        	
        	
        		
        			From the reviews:  &quot;The book is split into seven chapters, covering early rocket development, the European rocket and satellite organizations &#x2026; and their resultant merger as ESA, the national programmes, specific spacecraft programmes, manned spaceflight and a look towards the future. &#x2026; The book is well illustrated with black and white photos. &#x2026; It is &#x2026; a well written and accessible account of Europe&#x2019;s achievements in space. &#x2026; What the book does well is take the overview that a truly European programme deserves.&quot; (International Space Review, September, 2005) &quot;Brian Harvey&#x2019;s excellent retrospective looks beyond just the European Space Agency to cover all European space activities. &#x2026; Harvey also shows how the multinational ESA finally made European space co-operation a reality, after years of trying.&quot; (Sean Blair, Astronomy Now, May, 2004) &quot;This book is a comprehensive account of the development of the European Space Programme &#x2026; . The book highlights the contribution of the European Space Agency&#x2019;s scientific work and its continuing technological achievements &#x2026; . Europe&#x2019;s Space Programme gives a fascinating insight into the politics, science and organisation of the European Space work and the national enterprises involved. This is an important book &#x2026; . This is a splendid book &#x2026; . Everyone should read this book.&quot; (Richard Broughton, AURORA, November, 2003) &quot;This is a fine book, a good example of how to write technical text. Its subject matter, the development of the European space programme, although full of interesting characters and Machiavellian plot lines, in less-able hands may well have been handled in a ploddingly dull manner. Harvey brings it to life, not with literary fire but with careful explanations and enough detail to tell the story but not so much that it becomes a moronic fact sheet.&quot; (Barry Kent, The Observatory, Vol. 123 (1177), 2003) &quot;Europe&#x2019;s Space Programme: To Ariane and Beyond is a book well worth having on your reference shelf. It gives a detailed but highly digestible account of the birth of the ESA (European Space Agency) and its activities right up to the end of 2002, and is both useful and entertaining. &#x2026; A five-page list of acronyms and abbreviations near the beginning of the book is convenient &#x2026; . There are around 120 illustrations, many of them of significant historical interest.&quot; (Anna Nolan, Astronomy & Space, July, 2003) &quot;Europe&#x2019;s Space Programme is a book of great ambition. It attempts to describe Europe&#x2019;s achievements in space over the past 60 years, starting with the successful launch of the first V2 rocket &#x2026; . Europe has witnessed such rapid and dramatic political and economic changes since then that Brian Harvey&#x2019;s ambitious venture deserves our admiration &#x2026; . the book succeeds in presenting the European space effort as a major success.&quot; (Roger-Maurice Bonnet, Physics World, September, 2003)  &quot;This is really a good reference book which fits nicely in the series of other space books that Springer has published in the last few years &#x2026; . Brian Harvey&#x2019;s book is recommended to the readers.&quot; (Jos Heyman, News Bulletin of the Astronautical Society of Western Australia, Vol. 28 (8), 2003)
