Chicago Review Press
Illustrated nonfiction that celebrates the intersection of science, creativity, and fun
Dawn Cusick Books
“Usually relegated to brief mentions in histories of the space race, the NASA program’s chimps take center stage here as Cusick draws on a mix of interviews and archival sources to present a vividly portrayed, meticulously researched picture of their strenuous training and experiences... All hail these pioneering primates!” — Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"The Astrochimps is an exciting, specialized history of the Space Race" — Foreword Reviews
“By touching on subjects of animal rights and experimentation, as well as gender equity within Homo sapiens society, Cusick breathes life into a seldom heard story and reminds readers that while ’we cannot undo the past... we can create a new future.’” — Publishers Weekly
