Synopsis
You may not qualify as a scientist, but you love reading science fiction and are intrigued by problems of time, space, mind, and reality. You'd like nothing better than to explore the solar system, travel to the stars, and really penetrate the mysteries of hyperspace, curved space, black holes, and supernovae. The Cosmic Dancers will take you through the most challenging concepts of modern physics with the aid of examples from such masters of science fiction as Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Silverberg, and Ursula K. Le Guin, not to mention their predecessors H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Cyrano de Bergerac.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "FIRST EDITION" and full printing line with "1" on its copyright page. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by a remainder stamp on the bottom of its page block, slight spine lean, and a light bump on the base of its spine. Its binding is sound, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright silver titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is also in near fine condition: bright, whole, and unmarked, marred only by a short closed tear in the top edge of its back, but otherwise unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble cushion, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.
