vintagegeekculture:Darrell K. Sweet.You might be wondering why it seems so many 60s-70s paperbacks had yellow backgrounds. This is because, in defiance of logic, it was widely believed in the publishing world that books with yellow covers sold better. However, whenever a publisher mixed it up and made a red or blue cover, that book sold stratospherically well. Why? All the yellow covers were background that made them stand out and pop. Venturing into the Lost World with nothing but a staff? Good thing he’s got an escape lined up – he needs it.Travel to other planets is a reality, and with overpopulation stretching the resources of Earth, the necessity to find habitable worlds is growing ever more urgent. With no time to wait years for communication between slower-than-light spaceships and home, the Long Range Foundation explores an unlikely solution – human telepathy.Identical twins Tom and Pat are enlisted to be the human radios that will keep the ships in contact with Earth. The only problem is that one of them has to stay behind, and that one will grow old while the other explores the depths of space. Always a master of insight into the human consequences of future technologies, this is one of Heinlein’s triumphs.[goodreads] -- source link
