Riassunto

Within the next two centuries man will make the ultimate space voyage. People will leave this solar system and head out to the stars. This text shows why these voyages of colonisation will take place, how it will be possible to make them within a human lifetime, and why they will be profitable.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

This is Adrian Berry at his best, partly because he writes so well and partly because he has a fascinating theme...I hope that his book will be republished in 2099, since by then we ought to have gained a much better idea of what lies ahead, and be able to gauge the extent to which his forecasts have been accurate. In any case, The Giant Leap is a great read, and I am confident that you will enjoy it immensely - I certainly did. (Patrick Moore, Literary Review)

'What fun this book is, and how cheerful, in a world where few look ahead to anything more exciting than the Third Way.' Fay Weldon, Daily Telegraph

'[a] fascinating book' Tim Kelsey, Sunday Times
