Product Description "all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by."
From the earliest days of explorations, there has always been one tried-and-true way to navigate through uncharted reaches and one to find the way home -- the stars. Ancient mariners prized their star charts, knowing that they could guide them safely into a friendly port or lead them to the reaches of the mysterious East. Modes of transportation have changes but the stars are still our constant. When man took his first step into space armed with the very latest in computers, he took with him the same tool for reading the stars that the men who sailed under canvas carried.
When humans launched the first ship designed for long-range missions into the deep waters of interstellar space, the Vulcan High Command provided their star charts for the Enterprise™. But Jonathan Archer was not content with relying on the known. Although he used the Vulcan charts, he also added to them, and greatly expanded Starfleet's knowledge of the galaxy. Every generation of starship captain that followed has built on Archer's first steps.
Follow the course set by Archer, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway. Relive their extraordinary adventures as you find here, for the first time, the star maps that chart the routes these famous explorers took.
Star Trek Star ChartsSeptember 17, 2008 T. Filis(Orlando, FL USA) Star Trek Star Charts: The complete Atlas of Star Trek is a fantastic book. It is worth it to get this book, because it contains tons of information about the galaxy in Star Trek. From learning about planets and their characteristics to colorful, detailed maps and from learning about sectors to ship paths, this book is a great reference for any level of Star Trek fan.
For the hardcore Star Trek fan it might be a little lacking. If you read the negative reviews you can see what I am saying, but judge for yourself. I consider myself a semi-hardcore fan, and I thought this book was excellent. I learned more about the star trek universe than I ever had before. I would have liked to seen a few maps of the political boundaries from the original show, because I think the maps are mostly from Enterprise and TNG, but use your imagination. I found so many things from the show on the maps that I got geeked up. So, for the less hardcore fan, I believe you will enjoy this book.
Star Trek Star Charts: The Complete Atlas of Star TrekJuly 19, 2008 Book give's a vieu on how the universe looks like seen from the eyes of the Star Trek crew. It give's you an idea where you are by following the movie or dvd's Hope you can make something out of it, not used to write english. Enjoy it as mush as I do
ALMOST PERFECTJuly 12, 2008 Andre B. A. Pinto(Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil) I will be brief ....... this book is GREAT and shows a LOT of the maps and locations of planets mentioned in the star trek series and movies , but as some reviewrs said before it has some GREAT location errors and some thinks are missin. but i recomend this book to ANY STAR TREK FAN and people who like SPACE in general since most thinks mentioned in the book are cientifically based, and very interesting.
Best up to date Trek book so farJune 9, 2008 Nitehawk Jarrett(Hazleton, PA) This is the first Star Trek themed reference book I have bought since the Star Trek Encyclopedia. Mainly because nothing has really been up to snuff since that one and because most things were not updated to include ENT.
This book is simple to use with astounding graphics. Every world from Classic Trek to Enterprise is referenced in it. It was definitely a good buy.
HUH?December 24, 2007 browncoat(Welland, ON) After reading "Elim Garak"s review I had to say Geoffery Mandel is not 'new'. He's been around since the seventies, worked with Andrew Probert, Rick Sternbach and Lee Cole. Kind of wish he hadn't done this, contradicts some earlier work, however I ditto Alex Rozenswieg's comments earlier here.
