Terraforming
I thought the list might be interested in a new book by James
Oberg, who also wrote "Red Star in Orbit", which I mentioned some
months ago. It is titled "New Earths -- Restructuring Earth and
Other Planets" (Stackpole, 1981) and discusses possible
terraforming methodologies.
It is largely based on the presentations and discussions at the
terraforming colloquium at the Houston Lunar and Planetary
Science Conference, March 1979.
I've just started it but scanned through it first and can
recommend it as readable and interesting.
One section discusses the mirrors-in-orbit we recently had some
comments about.
