About This Item
Ohio: Writers Digest Books, 1997. New/No Dust Jacket As Issued. Science Fiction Writing Series
Signed by Ben Bova with an inscription.
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 9 inches tall.. Explores the theories of relativity and the science behind time travel to help writers of science fiction create their stories.
It's a very nice summary of the subject, but it really shouldn't be marketed just to writers. I can easily see it being used in a high school physics class, with the frequent mention of SF stories helping to make the physics and math involved very accessible. -- Analog, Tom Easton
This is a tasty blend of quantum theory, worm holes, causal loops, and the famous "grandfather paradox"--the better to sell your heroine's time-skipping to even the most skeptical suspender of disbelief.
