It belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection (no. 1141). The original English edition appeared in 1969; this Spanish edition dates from 1986.
Recommended for readers interested in science popularisation and in Asimov's facet as an essayist.
Isaac Asimov was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. During his lifetime, Asimov was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. He wrote or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Best known for his hard science fiction, Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as popular science and other non-fiction. His work spans nine out of the ten categories of the Dewey decimal system.
