In time it will house the inhabitants of the dying Earth. A whole new world is emerging, a world of huge dimensions, encompassing an area three million times the area of the Earth. Ringworld has a gravitational field and high walls to preserve its atmosphere. Its proximity to the sun maintains the new planet's climate. With those kinds of resources at its disposal, humankind can begin anew -- but not without meeting the disquieting challenges of a brave new world. Breath- taking ingenious from start to finish, RINGWORLD is fast becoming a science fiction classic. 924711 book 1970 Ringworld (Ringworld series, Book 1) total:3975|5:1074|4:1511|3:1070|2:266|1:54| 3975 15210 5201 274 3 8 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 06 21:26:32 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 14 10:24:56 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 4 false false Mon Jul 09 21:54:27 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 26 21:22:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 5 false false Mon Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 08:16:18 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 21 19:31:55 -0700 2008

The Ringworld is interesting and well described, but the book really falls short in explaining the how and why questions that are constantly coming up.
