About This Item

New York:: Harcourt Brace & World,, (1970.). Hardcover -. Good in a good dust jacket (slight spine slant, edgewear to ends of dj spine, chip to lower edge of back cover.). Reprint. First thus. 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.
