For students, scholars, readers' advisors, and curious SF readers
and fans, this guide provides an easy-to-use launch pad for
researching and learning more about science fiction writers and
their work. Emphasizing the best popular and contemporary authors,
this book covers 100 SF writers, providing for each: BLa brief
biographical sketch, including a quote from the author, awards,
etc. BLa list of the author's major works (including editions and
other writings) BLresearch sources-biographies, criticism, research
guides, and web sites In addition, you'll find "read-alike" lists
for selected authors. For anyone wanting to find information on
popular SF authors, this should be the first stop. A brief
introduction to the work cites general information sources and
reference works for the genre (including encyclopedias and
multi-author references)-which are cited with codes in the
entries). Although there are many works (in print and online) where
one can access information about SF authors, none are this
affordable, and offer this research approach to most popular
authors, directing users to all other sources, including many web
sites, and even blogs. This is a versatile and affordable resource.
Buy two copies-one for the readers' advisory or reference desk, and
one to circulate!
