Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Bronson Pinchot’s narration is both authoritative and relatable, making the technical aspects of spacesuit design accessible to listeners. The story unfolds smoothly, but some sections might feel a bit too dense for casual listeners. De Monchaux’s exploration of the cultural significance of the suits is particularly captivating, offering insights into how these garments were influenced by fashion trends of the 1960s. However, at times the audiobook could benefit from more concrete examples to support its arguments. Despite this, "Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo" remains a valuable and engaging exploration for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and culture during America’s space race.
