Title: Quasar, Quasar, Burning Bright
Author: Isaac Asimov
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Doubleday & Co 1978
Edition: First Edition
ISBN 10: 0385134649
Size: 5.5 X 8.5 * 240 pages
Synopsis: From the Jacket: Seventeen essays in which the amazing Isaac Asimov once again displays that he is the master of all he surveys....
Here is the Good Doctor reading between the lines of the Periodic Table; explaining why there are Ice Ages -and when another cometh; playing with the tilt of the Earth's axis; and speculating upon the properties of some (as yet) undiscovered elements.
Not to mention explanations of how Antarctic waters fertilize the Earth; ruminations on the planet beyond Pluto-and predictions as to when, and how, it will be discovered; a look at the brightest objects in the Universe: quasars (and which of these is the brightest); and a staunch defense of Asimov's own corner of the Universe: New York City.
Whether he's breaking apart atoms or whizzing through space, Asimov presides over it all with his customary ebullience and brio!
