Famous ScienceFiction Stories - aka Adventures in Time and Space
Author: Raymond J. Healy (Editor), J. Francis McComas (Editor)

Many anthologies contain classic stories but very few achieve classic status themselves. This is one of them. First published in 1946, during the Golden Age of SF when Cambpell's Law (named for Astounding magazine editor John W. Campbell) put equal stress on the words "Science" and "Fiction", Adventures in Time and Space ... more »contains 33 stories as exciting today as when the book first appeared. Inside you'll find landmark works ranging from the fantastic to the prophetic, from the provocative to the frivolous plus voyages of exploration and inquiry.

Including two nonfiction articles on rocketry and time travel, this entertaining and visionary odyssey helped lend credibility to an often disparaged genre and is today considered the definitive SF anthology of all time.
