Last week, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the University of Nebraska Press's Outward Odyssey series – particularly the book In the Shadow of the Moon — received some attention. In the Shadow of the Moon authors, Francis French and Colin Burgess, did some interviews and book readings and signings, and the series in general was cited as a good source of information on the U.S. and Russian space programs.

A week later, the books are still popping up in newspapers and Web sites and such. And here’s a glowing review of the entire series from examiner.com.
