Arthur C. Clarke was the Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th Century. He was at once an inventor, a scien-tist, a creator, an author, a systems synthesizer and a futurist par excellence. His inventions in com-munications, transport and navigation; his amazing literary and cinematic achievements in 2001: A Space Odyssey; and his incredible predictions are truly a marvel. This book, published by Joseph N. Pelton, founder of the Clarke Foundation, and Peter Marshall, long term member of the Foundation's Board from the United Kingdom, explore this remarkable man's life and legacy. Special appendices explore the wide range of Clarke's amazing predictions, and also provide a history of the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation.
