It was first published by Gnome Press in 1957 in an edition of 5,000 copies. The stories concern the adaptation of humans to alien environments (a process Blish called pantropy). Contents
"Seeding Program" was originally published under the title "A Time to Survive". "Surface Tension" was revised from its magazine publication, and here incorporates material from Blish's earlier story "Sunken Universe", published in Super Science Stories in 1942.[1] The four stories are termed 'Book One', 'Book Two', etc. and some editions refer to this as a standard novel in four sections, rather than an actual short story collection. ReceptionGalaxy reviewer Floyd C. Gale praised the collection as "a thought-provoking job".[2] Anthony Boucher also received the book favorably, saying it "nicely illustrat[ed] the characteristic Blish balance between thinking and storytelling, with each reinforcing the other".[3]References1. ^Index to Science Fiction Anthologies and Collections 2. ^"[https://archive.org/stream/galaxymagazine-1958-01/Galaxy_1958_01#page/n105/mode/2up Galaxy's 5 Star Shelf]", Galaxy Science Fiction, January 1957, p.105 3. ^"Recommended Reading," F&SF, July 1957, p.92.
