Lunar and Planetary Rovers by Anthony Young

The Wheels of Apollo and the Quest for Mars fills a need for a complete history of the Lunar Roving Vehicle used on Apollo 15, 16 and 17, drawing on many photographs never before published.

From the reviews:

"To this reviewer’s knowledge, this is the first book ever published on one of the most remarkable space vehicles ever built: the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle, or LRV… It is both very readable and very informative, and the many illustrations are excellent, including two sections of good-quality colour plates. Many of these images have never been published before. Definitely recommended." (David Maclennan, Liftoff, Issue 239, 2007)

"Aerospace historian Young has prepared a history of the design, development, and deployment of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) on the moon as part of the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions. … The book is well organized, with many color and black-and-white photographs. … A book for those in all areas of space science and engineering and in the history of space exploration. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels." (A. M. Strauss, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (10), June, 2007)

According to Motor Week magazine, Anthony Young's debut automotive book, released in 1984, became the best-selling automotive title in America within three months of its publication. Lunar and Planetary Rovers: The Wheels of Apollo and the Search for Mars, his first Springer-Praxis book, will be released in the fall of 2006.
