Reviews

Astro Turf works well as a brief, clear history of a field and the lab that embodied it. It works even better as a piece of cultural criticism. It works best of all, though, as a moving memoir of the difficult love between a daughter and father. NYTBR on Astro Turf I was blown away by this book. Lord reminds us once again that good and evil really are inextricably combined. Carolyn See, Washington Post on Astro Turf Lord's descriptions of her father's career and her own experiences as a girl growing up in the young Space Age form a poignant backdrop to her account of America's space program. Los Angeles Times on Astro Turf Lord shrewdly uses the evolution of Barbie as a touchstone to chart the evolution of our modern culture. People on Forever Barbie Terrific...a book that was dying to be written...A crisp, often witty love story of American pop culture. Boston Globe on Forever Barbie
