Terraforming: Ecopolitical Transformations and Environmentalism in Science Fiction is the first study to trace the historical development of environmental science fiction, and it convincingly frames this development within the genre's representation of planetary adaptation...Pak's is a very good book. Professor Eric Otto, Florida Gulf Coast University 'Pak's magisterially complete history of the idea of terraforming marks an important milestone in science fiction studies. He rightly sees the terraforming concept as the ideal test-bed for an astonishingly wide range of crucial gedankenexperiments in many fields. His analysis of the social, political, philosophical, spiritual, and moral dilemmas that the terraforming genre offers-humanity's place in nature only the most obvious--makes this a book of importance far beyond the science fiction community.' Frederick Turner
