[NASA History] Celebrate 50 Years of NASA History Books

http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/hqlibrary/ic/ic2.htm#pubs

NASA History has always been a source of good information and even though we have mentioned in the past this post from them reminds me I should share again.

You might even want to sign up for their list so you can remind me of new items when I am asleep at the switch.

Friends of NASA History,

The NASA History Program published its first book, "Project Mercury: A Chronology," in 1963.  To celebrate the golden anniversary of NASA's history books we are offering you a chance to get copies of some of our older titles for free.  

While supplies last you can pick up free copies of many of our publications from the NASA Headquarters Information Center.  You can find a complete list of what is available (including some of our more recent books that are not available under the free book promotion) here: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/hqlibrary/ic/ic2.htm#pubs 

If you can't make it to the Headquarters Information Center, they will ship to you at a cost of $3 per title.  Unfortunately, we can't offer shipping & handling to non-US addresses.  (My apologies to our overseas fans.)

Happy Reading in 2013!

Bill

Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos. Check out our "Thinking About NASA History" folder online as an introduction to how history can help you.
