[SC: 12.95], [PU: Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, New Jersey - London], With a foreword by Isaac Asimov. - - Ignition! is the compelling story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. Acclaimed scientist and scifi author John D. Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise that eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, ancl satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of rocket propulsion, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades. - JOHN D. CLARK (1907-1988) was an American rocket fuel developer, chemist, and science fiction writer. In addition to his work äs a scientist, he was instrumental in the broad revival of interest in Robert E. Howard's Conan stories and an influence on the writing of Isaac Asimov, L. Sprague de Camp, Fletcher Pratt, and other sci-fi authors. - ISAAC ASIMOV (1920-1992) was an American author and professor of bio-chemistry at Boston University, best known for his works of science fiction and for his populär science books. A prolific writer, he published more than 500 books, most notably the science fiction novels /, Robot and Foundation, ancl the populär science works, Guide to Science and Understanding Physics. 195 p.<
