Only recently have space stations become a reality, but Edward Everett Hale was the first person to put that dream into print, with his tales of "The Brick Moon." Written in 1869, the book describes many of the functions modern satellites would fill: communications, navigation, weather observation, and so on. Full of humor and gentle satire, the story is as readable today as it was nearly 140 years ago. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
