Apollo in Perspective: Spaceflight Then and Now
A decent book discussing the changes that NASA has gone through since its inception. While there is nothing earth shattering here, you can see why general public support for space has been flagging since the days of the Apollo missions. Being involved in the aerospace industry, I already knew a lot of what was presented here, but for an amateur space enthusiast or anyone interested in why we have actually regressed in our space capabilities, this book gives most of the reasons why.
