The Hazards of Space Travel: A Tourist’s Guide, By: Neil F. Comins, Ph.D.
Non-fiction, science/ space 220 pages copyright 2007
If you ever wanted to go into space, but know that you never will, this book is for you. After reading about the millions of things that can kill you without warning in space, I never want to go there. That being said, it was a well written book. It helped you understand complex problems of space travel even if you were not an expert in the sciences involved. It did this by carefully explaining things, using simple scientific explanations, examples from real life, and the fictional log of Mack, a space traveler from the next century. The book is divided up into sections of problems one would experience based on the causes starting with the places your visiting themselves down to your own body and the people around you. Which is useful as it helps to connect the ideas of the different problems and how they work together to cause the difficulties of space travel.
