This is a compilation of 21 Heinlein short stories in his 'Future History'. If you've never read Heinlein & want a good introduction, this is probably the best single book of his works you can buy. You'll see quite a range of his best. The paperback is as fat as one of Jordan's books & contains some novella length stories - two, "Revolt in 2100" & "Methuselah's Children" were published as novels. Others are title stories from other short story collections "The Green Hills of Earth" & "The Man Who Sold The Moon", for example. ( )

Warning: I am one of THOSE. You know. One of those people who bow in awe before the Master of Science Fiction. Robert Anson Heinlein may be the least known, but most influential person of the twentieth century. He is not and never will be politically correct. When an space organization made a list of the 100 people who had most influenced space policy and left RAH off the list, there were howls of dismay throughout both the science fiction and the science community. "The Past Through Tomorrow" is his early work. Here you will find the various inventions for which he is seldom given credit. But the inventions, although important, are secondary to his ability to tell a great story. ( )

This is my favorite book. It is a collection of related short stories. I think I like it so much because I can relate to D. D. Harriman wanting to go to the moon.

Great short stories ( )
