BElt 4,19.69 Reviewed by G.J..M Leave Space literature is becoming very popular at the local library and is available in libraries throughout the county. The interest is. not confined to the public libraries however, as schools also have a good selection. Looking over some of the books at Robertson MemorialPublic School of is David Best, a grade 7 student. - staff photo. Space books popular at county libraries While browsing in 'the library the other day, I noticed a small boy peering anxiously over the edge of the librarian's desk. "Have you got any books on rockets?" he asked. She told me later that the demand for spcice stories is increasing every day. Animal adventures and shoot -em -up westerns bare practically passe. We began investigating and found a wealth of information on just about every topic in our new age of - space. There isn't room to review all the books, but here are a few of the outstanding ones available in the Huron County libraries. LIVING IN SPACE The Astronaut and His Environment by Mitchell R. Sharpe (Doubleday,, 1969; 192 pages) Mitchell Sharpe has been associated with space vehicle research for the past thirteen years, and is a contributor onastronauticsto the Encyclopaedia Britannica and its annual Book of the. Year. He reveals the hazards of being human in an alien environment, covering such topics as the effects of the body on noise, lack of oxygen, radiation and weightlessness. Also, the mental dangers of isolation. He shows us, in detail, the space suit and space craft, explaining the necessity.for each button and valve. A special feature is the chapter on the valuable medical "by 'products in use today as a result of space research. For examples, a 'wheelchair controlled'' by the movements of the invalid's -eyeballs, -and- a--computer-controlled artificial patient for use by medical students. Sharpe points out, in layman's language, man's contribution to space and why man is the necessary factor. Included are many 1--° informative photographs and diagrams. This book, available at Goderich Public Library, should be at the top of your reading list. SPACETRAC K Watchdog of the Skies by Charles Coombs (New York, W. Morrow, 1969; 128 pages) - Did you know that there are over 33 hundred objects in orbit around theearth at this moment, ranging from highly sophisticated weather and telecommunication satellites to burned out rocket motors and objects even as small as an astronaut's glove? ° This :book tells about • the highly complex system of radars situated around the world and a city of computers in a cave in Colorado that track and record all these bits and pieces. It shows why such a system was necessary, not only for the defence of the North American continent, but also to keep track of all these flying articles. This system can predict almost the exact instant an object will fall from space'. . Charles Coombs Utes his well known ability to translate technical material into , layman's language making the book enjoyable reading for all. The . book is at -the Clinton Public Library and can ,be obtained 'through the public library at Goderich.
