G. Harry Stine
From: Jonathan Slocum <LRC.SLOCUM AT UTEXAS-20>
While we're on the topic, and since I haven't heard it mentioned...
Space Power, by G. Harry Stine, c. 1981, 1st printing Sept. 1981,
pub. by ACE, $2.50 ppb. I got mine in the Miami airport
last October, hot off the press...
Cover contains the following phrases, among others:
THE NEWS THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY TRIED TO BURY!
THE *TRUTH* ABOUT SOLAR POWER!
Having read it (and his 3rd Ind. Rev.) my impression is that he is
truly a hard-nosed engineering type, characterized by the potential
short-sightedness (all problems can be solved through technology)
for which such types are famed. Damn stimulating book, though.
I recommend it -- with a grain of salt if you're a humanist.
