Already a highly respected rocket scientist and compatriot of Wernher von Braun, Willy Ley was the author of bestselling books and at the forefront of popular science journalism. But as von Braun came onto center stage with his Saturn rockets, Ley was ostracized and excluded from the limelight by younger historians and scientists. Buss gives us the first full-length biography of Ley, presenting his contribution to modern science and science journalism. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

That I don't rate this book a little bit higher is that there are some threads here that could have been further explored by the author, such as implications of Ley cutting off John W. Campbell's "Astounding" to work exclusively for Fred Pohl's "Galaxy," and whether that said something about Campbell's turn to pseudo-science (which Ley despised in general). ( )
