BOOKS BY JOEL DAVIS

 
FLYBY: THE INTERPLANETARY ODYSSEY OF VOYAGER 2. New York: 
Atheneum, 1987. (Introduction by Isaac Asimov.) Hardcover 1st 
edition. Signed by author.
 
Voyager 2 and its sister spacecraft Voyager 1 are the most 
successful space probes ever launched by the human species.  
Voyager 2, in particular, has carried out a near-``Grand Tour'' of 
the outer solar system, visiting Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and 
Neptune.  FLYBY is the behind-the-scenes story of the Uranus 
flyby in 1986--the people, the machines, the near-catastrophes, 
and the final triumph.             
 
``With a scientist's knowledge and appreciation and a journalist's 
eye for detail and the human element, the author supplies solid 
information on the mission and spices the account with tidbits on 
what working scientists are really like.''
