IEEE Press has just published "The Space Station:  An Idea Whose Time Has
Come" edited by Theodore Simpson.  The book consists of 20 chapters by
separate authors including James Beggs of NASA, Jacques Collet of ESA, John
Hodge, deputy administrator for the space station, and Harrison Schmitt.
Charles Sheffield has called the book "a mine of information," but my
impression is that the book is written on a mostly non-technical level, or
perhaps the level of IEEE Spectrum.  It is stated in the book review (from
IEEE Institute) that no equations appear in the book.  Part of the book
concerns the history of the space program, speculations on future missions,
and a look at the political process.  The book is available from IEEE
Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ  08854.  Price is $17.95 for
IEEE members, $19.95 for nonmembers.
