The amazing Asimov tackles his most fascinating subject – himself!
Isaac Asimov, said The New York Times, "has probably done more than anyone else to give scientifically illiterate readers a feeling for the excitement and accomplishment of modern science." Now, picking up where his 200th book, IN MEMORY YET GREEN, left off, the celebrated author recounts how he went from being an obscure professor of biochemistry to the man George Gaylord Simpson hailed as "a national wonder and a natural resource." Here's what the reviewers say about Volume II of Asimov's life story:
"Candidly revealing the storms and triumphs that have marked Asimov's personal and professional life... highlighted by warm and amusing anecdotes about his daily life, his children and his many friends in the SF field (among them Harlan Ellison, Frederick Pohl, Robert Silverberg and the late John Campbell)... a fascinating, entertaining look at the man behind the many manuscripts." - Things to Come, SF Book Club Magazine
"...A polymath of awesome proportions...His name is synonymous with all that is best in science fiction. - The New York Times Book Review
"Asimov charms the reader with his openness, humanity and...affectionate nature... a poet wearing science writer's clothing." - Publisher's Weekly
“...A labor of love... even more entertaining than Volume I." - Time
With rare photographs.. Selected by two book clubs.
