This book consists of essays by the author of the Newbery Honor book Enchantress from the Stars and ten other science fiction novels, selected from her collections Reflections on Enchantress from the Stars and Other Essays, From This Green Earth: Essays on Looking Outward, and The Future of Being Human and Other Essays, which are available only as ebooks. Because of their length these collections cannot be issued as paperbacks at reasonable prices, so this short sampler has been produced for the benefit of readers who have a strong preference for print books and/or audiobooks. It contains no new essays.

The lead essay “Reflections on Enchantress from the Stars” deals with issues that the author feels readers of that novel should be aware of. The other essays in this book are about subjects relevant to the story such as the importance of space exploratiom, outlook toward the future, and the reality of psi powers. They include:

Loved this whole thing as well as her Elena and Children of the Star books. These essays are gold!!! Engdahl is the most logical sci-fi writer I have ever come across. Her last essay in this collection explains why.
