Résumé:

"The idea of the earth as a vessel in space came of age in an era shaped by space travel and the Cold War. Höhler{u2019}s study brings together technology, science and ecology to explore the way this latter-day ark was invoked by politicians, environmentalists, cultural historians, writers of science fiction and many others across three decades." -- publisher description.
