A Long Voyage to the Moon: The Life of Naval Aviator and Apollo 17 Astronaut Ron Evans

byGeoffrey Bowman

A Long Voyage to the Moon examines the Life of Naval Aviator and Apollo 17 Astronaut Ron Evans, combining Geoffrey Bowman's clear narrative with the perspective of a biographical portrait. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of biography & autobiography. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
