Navy Blue spine, light blue cover with pictures, slight edge and corner wear, inside tight and clean, no noticed markings, some rubbing to the DJ. ; "A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001."
*Carl Sagan
Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U. S. -Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft *to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong . . . And what became of Commander Dave Bowman.
Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter.
Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman *the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith *streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . .
"Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play. "
*Time
"2010 is easily Clarkes' best book in over a decade. "
*The San Diego Tribune; 9.25 x 6.5 inches ; 291 pages,

Talmage, Sterling B.; Can Science Be Faith-Promoting?
Freethinker Press, 2001, Paperback, New,
Brand new softcover book! ; In this thought-provoking book a scientifically trained mind grapples with the conflict between science and religion. To the question "Can Science Be Faith-Promoting? Dr. Talmage answers with a resounding "Yes" that scientific inquiry does not preclude religious faith. He makes an impressive contribution to the science-religion debate, frankly discussing such questions as: Are We Afraid to Think? What Is Science? What Is Faith-Promoting? What Is Creation? What Is Natural? What Is Supernatural? What Is Open-Mindedness? What Is Unscriptural? What Is a Fundamentalist? What Is an Evolutionist? What Must We Believe? What Says Paleontology? What Is the Age of the Earth? What Is the Principle of Evolution? What Is the Relationship of Apes and Man? What about Adam and Pre-Adamites? and many other current questions. Also included is his revealing correspondence with President Heber J. Grant, Apostle Joseph Fielding Smith, Apostle James E. Talmage (his father), and Apostle John A. Widtsoe. True religion encompasses all truth, both theological and scientific. Sterling Booth Talmage (1889-1956), the oldest son of James E. Talmage and Merry May Booth, was born in Salt Lake City on 21 May 1889. He graduated with a B.S. in mining engineering from the University of Utah in 1909. Upon graduation, Talmage worked for several years at the Deseret Museum. Talmage earned his M.S. in geology and chemistry from Lehigh University at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1923, and two years later received his Ph.D. in economic geology from Harvard University. He taught geology at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and later became professor of geology and mineralogy at the New Mexico School of Mines in Socorro, New Mexico.; 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 Inches; 320 pages,
