Earl Swift is author of the New York Times bestseller Chesapeake Requiem, which was named to ten best of the year lists. Swift brings to life another remarkable community—the engineers and astronauts who designed and operated the Lunar Roving Vehicle in his new book Across the Airless Wilds. In this fast-moving exploration, Swift puts the reader alongside the men who dreamed of the rover, designed it, troubleshot its flaws, and drove it on the lunar surface. His other books include Auto Biography and The Big Roads. A former reporter for the Virginian-Pilot and contributor to Outside and other magazines, he has been a fellow of Virginia Humanities at the University of Virginia since 2012. http://www.earlswift.com
