Paperback. Condition: New. Willy Ley inspired young rocket scientists and would-be astronauts around the world to imagine a future of interplanetary travel long before space shuttles existed. This is the first biography of the science writer and rocketeer who predicted and boosted the rise of the Space Age.Born in Germany, Ley b…ecame involved in amateur rocketry until the field was taken over by the Nazis. He fled to America, where he forged a new life as a weapons expert and journalist during World War II and as a rocket researcher after the war. As America's foremost authority on rockets, missiles, and space travel, he authored books and scientific articles, while also regularly writing for science fiction pulp magazines and publishing what he termed romantic zoology--a blend of zoology, cryptozoology, history, and mythology. He even consulted for television's Tom Corbett, Space Cadet and the Disney program Man in Space, thrilling audiences with a romanticized view of what spaceflight would be like.Yet as astronauts took center stage and scientific intellectuals such as Wernher von Braun became influential during the space race, Ley lost his celebrity status. With an old-fashioned style of popular writing and eccentric perspectives influenced by romanticism and science fiction, he was ignored by younger historians. This book returns Willy Ley to his rightful place as the energizer of an era--a time when scientists and science popularizers mixed ranks and shared the spotlight so that our far-fetched, fantastic dreams could turn into the reality of tomorrow.

hardcover. No Jacket. First Edition. Gainesville. 2017. August 2017. University Press of Florida. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Pictorial Boards. No Dustjacket As Issued. 9780813054438. 10 b/w photos. 320 pages. hardcover. keywords: Science Space Travel Biography. DESCRIPTION - Credited as the first historian of spaceflight…, Willy Ley was perhaps the most important advocate of the American Space Age. From television's Tom Corbett, Space Cadet to the design of Disney's 'Tomorrowland,' Ley worked behind the scenes to excite audiences about the impending future of interplanetary travel. Yet as the history of science transitioned from an open and cosmopolitan scene into a more isolated and academic field, Ley fell into obscurity, ostracized for his outdated perspectives. In the first biography to showcase Ley, Jared Buss traces the science writer's rise to prominence and eventual loss of prestige. By comparing Ley to other scientific intellectuals-including Wernher von Braun-Buss demonstrates how he led a broader crusade to educate the public while promoting a romantic appreciation of nature. 'Willy Ley has been a mystery among spaceflight historians for many years. His role as science writer, advocate, and popularizer is known to many but understood by few. This book unpacks that story.'- Roger D. Launius, coauthor of the Smithsonian Atlas of Space Exploration. 'Ley lit the fire of interplanetary enthusiasm in the hearts of generations of young space cadets. Long overdue, this biography conveys the complexity of Ley's career, as well as his checkered relationship with Wernher von Braun.'-Tom D. Crouch, author of Lighter Than Air: An Illustrated History of Balloons and Airships. 'Beautifully written. Reveals the vicissitudes of an extraordinarily interesting life.'-Michael J. Neufeld, author of Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War. inventory #42075 Very Good in Pictorial Boards. No Dustjacket As Issued.
