About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Tom Doherty Associates, LLC, 1986. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Scarce book. 462 pages. When high-energy physics meets quiet revenge, is the result murder? Can 3 mathematicains disagree o n a basic principle of science - and all be right? The foremost scientific writer of our age takes us on a marvelous tour - from the wondrous nature of our home world to the very adge of the universe , from Archimedes to the distant future. Here are fascinating true tales of the search for new worlds and invisible stars, of the mystery of the planet that should have been there - but wasn't. And h e r e too is mind-widening science fiction, examing the startling, and sometimes tragic, consequences of new ideas. An experiment in time travel becomes a test of morality - and love; a college profes so r finds a loophole in the law of gravity, and soon wishes he hadn't; and apparently trivial inventions produce shock waves that could shatter the very foundations of human society. The Edge of Tomo rro w combines fact and fiction to provide a wide-angle view of science as an inspiring, frustrating, astonishing - and always intensely human - enterprise. Some rubbing on top & bottom & edges of spi ne a nd some places on outside edges. Spine is creased..
