The most beautiful & influential photographs ever made were of the whole earth seen from space. They were taken from the moon, almost as an afterthought, by the astronauts of the Apollo space programme. They inspired a generation to think more seriously about our responsibility for this tiny oasis in space, the `blue marble` falling through empty darkness. This is a book about the long road to the capture of those unforgettable images.
