From Library Journal
This volume attempts to combine speculative entries on extraterrestrial life and interstellar travel with factual entries on space history and current space technologies. The resulting mix is disappointing. Factual errors and glaring omissions mar the entries on space history (e.g., the Soviets' extensive Salyut space station program receives little more than a passing mention in the entry on space stations), and the speculative entries on extraterrestrial life too often take on a "gee-whiz" tone. General collections would do better to purchase The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Space Technology ( LJ 8/81). Thomas J. Frieling, Bainbridge Junior Coll., Ga.
