Описание: The recent 50th anniversaries of the first human spaceflights by the Soviet Union and the United States, and the 30th anniversary of the launching of the first U.S. Space Shuttle mission, have again brought to mind the pioneering accomplishments of the first quarter century of humans in space. Historians, political scientists and others have extensively examined the technical, programmatic and political history of human spaceflight from the 1960s to the 1980s, but work is only beginning on the social and cultural history of the pioneering era. One rapidly developing area of recent scholarship is the examination of the images of spacefarers in the media, government propaganda and popular culture. How was space travel imagined in the visual media on the cusp of human spaceflights? How were astronauts and cosmonauts represented in official and quasi-official media portraits? And how were those images reproduced and transformed by in the imagination of film-makers, movie producers, popular writers, and novelists? Spacefarers addresses these questions with nine contributions from scholars in the field of aerospace history, Russian and American history, and English literature. These essays are preceded by an introduction by the editor, who discusses their place in the historiography of spaceflight and social and cultural history. The book will have potential appeal to a wide variety of scholars in history, literature and the social sciences and will include a number of striking visual images.

The relationship of this very unlikely pair blossoms with each activity these two friends share. Whether it is playing hide-and-seek or watching Frank take a dust bath, Luella has truly found a friend for life.
The summer days quickly pass. Fall has arrived. Harvest season is in the air. There is a distant sound of a tractor in Frank's cornfield.

"Luella and Frank the Pheasant" is the third book in the Luella Book Series.
The "Luella Books" are wholesome and family oriented. They were written especially for children in the primary grades. Parents and grandparents will enjoy reading these books to their children -Ann Vogt, school teacher
After reading the first four books in the "Luella Books" series, I enthusiastically recommend them for children and their parents Ms. Gaenzle's writing style reflects both her love for children and her appreciation of those small but important childhood experiences. The books also encourage a love and appreciation of nature and wildlife - especially for our feathered friends. Enjoy -Teresa Alexander
