"Planets for Man" 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, "Habitable Planets for Man". More than forty years after its
initial publication, and to celebrate "RAND's" 60th Anniversary,
"RAND" brings this classic work back into print in paperback and
digital formats.
