== Earthrise and the space age ==
Poole's best-known book is "Earthrise: How Man First Saw the Earth" (Yale University Press, 2008), a study of the first views of Earth from space and their impact, which has been identified as one of the key works of the 'new aerospace history'. He has lectured on 'Earthrise' and the cultural history of the space age in London, Washington, DC, Lucerne,〔(8th Swiss Biennial website )〕 Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen, broadcast on US public radio,〔('Living on Earth' )〕 and in July 2009 wrote the op ed piece for the 'LA Times' on the fortieth anniversary of the Moon landing .〔(LA Times Archive 19 July 2009 )〕 Subsequent articles have explored the science fiction writer and techno-prophet Arthur C. Clarke, the 'apeman, spaceman' theme in '2001: a Space Odyssey', and the myth of progress in '2001: a Space Odyssey'. Another recent article, 'What was Whole about the Whole Earth?', provides a missing chapter to 'Earthrise'. His interest in this field stems in part from periods as an activist in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Lancaster anti-nuclear energy group Half-Life, as a local government research officer in the Manchester-led nuclear free zone movement, and from a youthful interest in space travel. In Autumn 2015 he will hold a Short-Term Visitor Award at the Smithsonian Institution, National Air and Space Museum, to look at the recently-acquired papers of Arthur C. Clarke.
