PRELUDE TO SPACE.
Edition: Reprint. First thus.
New York: Harcourt Brace & World, (1970.) dj. Hardcover - Originally published in 1954, The Anatomy of Wonder (4-155) describes this as "One of the earliest scientifically accurate and realistic accounts of the first Moon voyage. . Hindsight illuminates errors... which are more than offset by a narrative which oscillates between nuts and bolts and the poetic as Clarke makes his clearest statement for the necessity for progress: 'drawing free from the shadows of Belsen and Hiroshima, the world was moving toward its most splendid sunrise'." This new hardcover edition includes a new "Post-Apollo Preface" by Clarke. xii, 209 pp.
Condition: Good in a good dust jacket (slight spine slant, edgewear to ends of dj spine, chip to lower edge of back cover.)
