This well-loved copy of “Environments out there” by Isaac Asimov, the celebrated author of science fiction and popular science, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early environmental movement of the 1970s. Published in 1970, this Science World book aimed to educate young readers about the pressing issues of pollution, resource depletion, and ecological degradation that were gaining widespread attention during this pivotal decade. Asimov’s engaging and accessible writing style, combined with his deep scientific knowledge, made him an ideal guide for exploring these complex topics. Despite the wear and tear on this particular copy, a testament to its enduring appeal, the book’s message remains as relevant today as it was half a century ago. Collectors of Asimov’s works or those interested in the history of environmental activism will appreciate this vintage edition as a time capsule from a era when concerns about humanity’s impact on the planet were just beginning to enter the mainstream consciousness.
