Reviews
This volume from the vastly prolific Asimov is a collection of his nonfiction monthly essays in the 1986-87 issues of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction , for which he has been writing since 1958. Except for the title piece, which deals with the degree of correctness of modern science in general, all the chapters are on chemical or astronomical subjects such as carbon-14 or the size of Pluto. Several selections have been updated where very recent scientific developments have made it necessary. As usual, Asimov writes with enthusiasm and a distinctive skill for explaining fairly abstruse topics to lay readers without making major errors of oversimplification. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries. Jack W. Weigel, Univ. of Michigan Lib., Ann Arbor
