Science for Science Fiction Authors($22.00Value)

Description

A compendium of science and imagination, this volume not only includes discussions on how to build a credible star system, but also credible planets, including some guidance on climate building. It looks at the possibilities of life forms, cultures, ecologies and more, including schemes of classifying the different issues, intended as a spur to creativity but possibly also useful as an adjunct to current classification schemes. Practical but imaginative, this text will be an invaluable aid in developing credible, scientifically sound but alien characters.
