| Description: | The book is laid out in chapters close to chronological. The major topics are separated out such that the reader can look at the history is stages. This means that there is some degree of overlap between the chapters, which are thus largely self-standing. The three phases of the space elevator fall into the following categories (with chapters identified for clarification): Dreamers and Creators (Chapters 1 and 2); Modern Era Initiation (Chapters 4-8); and the Move towards Development (Chapters 9 and 10). These chapters are briefly outlined in the Introduction. |
