Isaac Asimov here describes the astonishing achievements of that small group of scientists who have broken through to new worlds for mankind. Working for the most part alone in their laboratories, they were the first to venture into uncharted and awe-inspiring areas of thought. But the results of their leaps into the unknown affect our lives everyday.
As with anything Professor Asimov writes, the book is unfailingly entertaining as well as informative. This material was first serialized in Scholastic Magazine and the origianl half-tone illustrations have been retained and provide a lively visual conunterpart to the text. (dust jacket)
