NASA history books in need of editing

[Philip]

These two need to be combined:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

The correct name of the author is "Asif A. Siddiqi" and the Nasa History Office is the publisher, not an author. The titles of both are wrong, it should be just "Challenge to Apollo: The Soviet Union and the Space Race, 1945-1974"

More info available at http://history.nasa.gov/series95.html and http://archive.org/details/nasa_techd...

Also, searching for "Rockets and People" reveals a big mess. Here are the books:

http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/ro...
http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/ro...
http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/ro...

There should only be four separate works, in a series. The author should be Boris Chertok, Asif A. Siddiqi is the series editor and writer of the introduction, while NASA is the publisher. The correct titles can be found in the above links.

I hope you can sort it all out!

Many thanks! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to trouble you again, with a few things you missed (or which have changed since):

There's still a duplicate part 4 of rockets and people:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

Also, the title of http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13... is still wrong, it should be "Challenge to Apollo: The Soviet Union and the Space Race, 1945-1974"

Thanks!

Repaired *made author name the same, and then combined.

Thanks!

I found another space-related triplicate:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

IMHO, the title of all of these should be just "Truth, Lies, and O-Rings: Inside the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster" since the italics isn't important here.
