Another Look at Atlantis and Fifteen Other Essays by Willy Ley

A Ley enthusiast. This book and _On the Earth and In the Sky_ were at the library. A generalist, but you can tell he had a lot of love for zoology. I can only guess he made most of his money as a "noted rocket and space travel authority" in the '50s in magazines, books, and even a model kit line:

Here's Horace L. Gold's son with a funny story about his accent, and how to pronounce his name:

I looked at the review, and I'm fairly sure some of those essays
appeared in _Galaxy_, because I read them there.

Yeah, I appear to have been wrong.

I'm another big Ley fan. My mom owned a copy of his *Rockets, Missiles, and
Space Travel*. I think that book taught me at least the beginnings of what
physics as a discipline is. (I later majored in physics before getting my
bio degree.) I also loved its later update, *Rockets, Missiles, and Men in
Space*. I'd pay my own money to get a current RM&MIS version printed, maybe
with post-Ley material written by Chris Hadfield or someone.

For those who don't know, Ley was actually an early liquid-fuel rocket
researcher, but when he fled the Nazis he didn't get any rocketry work and
ended up as a writer.
