The best of David Brin / by Brin, David,author.(CARDINAL)181054; Asaro, Catherine,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)387888;
Introduction: The listener by Catherine Asaro -- Insistence of vision -- The crystal spheres -- The loom of Thessaly -- Transition generation -- The giving plague -- Chrysalis -- Dr. Pak's preschool -- Piecework -- The logs -- The tumbledowns of Cleopatra Abyss -- Detritus affected -- Mars opposition -- Toujours voir -- The river of time -- The tell -- The escape -- The postman -- A need for heroes -- Thor meets Captain America -- Stones of significance -- Reality check."One doesn't have to know the world perfectly, in order to know it better. That lesson--first taught by Galileo--dwells at the core of both science and science fiction, according to legendary author David Brin. Dangers and great challenges confront the characters of his stories and award-winning novels, such as The Uplift War and The Postman. But even when the odds are steep and disaster looms, there remain possibilities... Brin has thrilled readers in almost thirty languages by presenting vastly imaginative--and well-grounded--challenges set in times that might yet come...along with a sometimes razor-thin hope we'll persevere. In this major retrospective collection of shorter work, gathered from across an extraordinary career spanning decades, you'll find wonder via David Brin's unparalleled talent at imagination, extrapolation, hard headed optimism, and plain old fun... Here, in more than twenty stories representing the best work of a masterful writer, readers will find an entire orchard of ideas, rooted in guarded optimism and stretching skyward towards a multitude of possible worlds."--
