For those interested in the development of the scientific mind, Princeton
has laid bare the musings of astronomer Lyman Spitzer in Dreams, Stars and
Electrons. While everyone else focused on stars, Spitzer examined the space in
between. Here you can marvel at his path-breaking papers on the interstellar
medium and read his lesser-known publications on magnetically confined fusion,
space telescopes and even ion-propelled rockets. An embarrassment of riches from
a truly stellar career. Edited by Lyman Spitzer and Jeremiah Ostriker, Princeton
University Press, 拢30\$39.50, ISBN 0691027978.
