Notes

Description
This anthology of 62 essays, ranging from the polemic to the persuasive, from the speculative to the realistic, begins with an attack on the most controversial of pseudosciences -- creationism. The book devotes sections to religious radicals, discussions about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, ecology, the roles of science in the modern world, explanation of current scientific theories, scientific forecasting and a group of five personal essays. Asimov presents an exciting and realistic view of what awaits humankind -- a technologically sophisticated future with cloning, bacterial engineering, interplanetary travel and space colonization. He also sheds light on questions such as: How can society differentiate between real science and pseudoscience? How can we overcome technophobia? What are the consequences of an advanced technological society? ISBN 0-87975-201-7 : $17.95.
