MEDIA REVIEWS
From the reviews:
"This new volume picks up the story with the launch of STS-108 which delivered the Expedition 4 crew to the station in December 2001....given readers a good,detailed account of the missions and the construction activity,and the various problems inevitably encountered,which the crews and their support teams on Earth overcame. There are a good number of photos from the missions.... Several appendices give a comprehensive list of acronyms used.... All in all,a useful book...."(David Maclennan,Liftoff,Issue 260,November-December,2010)
