{"product_id":"9780833042262","title":"PLANETS FOR MAN","description":"\u003ci\u003ePlanets for Man\u003c\/i\u003e was written at the height of the space race, a few years before the first moon landing, when it was assumed that in the not-too-distant future human beings \"will be able to travel the vast distances to other stars.\" The authors propose to determine — on the basis of then-current biological and cosmological knowledge — whether there are other worlds where humans can survive or where human life may even now be flourishing. This volume, co-authored by RAND researcher Stephen Dole and science fiction master Isaac Asimov, certainly one of the more unusual co-authorships in RAND’s long history of research and publishing, it was based on a more technical treatise authored by Dole, \u003ci\u003eHabitable Planets for Man\u003c\/i\u003e. More than forty years after its initial publication, and to celebrate RAND’s 60th Anniversary, RAND is proud to bring this classic work back into print in paperback and digital formats.","brand":"Rand Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027154878704,"sku":"9780833042262","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780833042262_p0.jpg?v=1763810450","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780833042262","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
