Reviews"Dazzling . . . Wrenching . . . A mind bender." -- Time "[Clarke is] a master who is as deft at generating accelerating, almost painful suspense as he is knowledgeable and accurate (and fascinating) about the technical and human details of space flight and exploration." -- The New York Times "By standing the universe on its head, he makes us see the ordinary universe in a different light." -- The New Yorker

Great cover, inside design is soso...
Great hard cover copy of the book. Love the cover design but a bit disappointed in the inside design of the pages - a bit over designed - it could have been more beautiful and sophisticated on the inside design. But great condition and very happy otherwise.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
