The Tragedy of the Moon

Science fact-in this fascinating volume one of the greatest imaginative writers in the world of science fiction turns his attention to science fact. Far from the drabness of scientific textbooks, here is a mind bending trip into the world as it is-and as it might have been. What would life on earth be like if we didn't have a moon?

Why don't we follow the clear logic of a seasonal calender? Must we computerize the world because we have grown too lazy to run it in any other way? Scientist or non scientist, layman or specialist, asimov invites you to join him on a trip back into the past and forward into the future.
