Fe Near Fine In Complete Near Fine Dj Priced $3.95 With Just A Trace Of Edge Wear Small Clear Tape Reinforcement At Bottom Of Spine. Nice "Best Wishes" And Full Signature Of Campbell On First Free Endpaper. Per Wikipedia John Wood Campbell Jr. 1910 - 1971 Was An American Science Fiction Writer And Editor. He Was Editor Of Astounding Science Fiction Later Called Analog Science Fiction And Fact From Late 1937 Until His Death And Was Part Of The Golden Age Of Science Fiction. Campbell Wrote Super-Science Space Opera Under His Own Name And Stories Under His Primary Pseudonym Don A. Stuart. Campbell Also Used The Pen Names Karl Van Kampen And Arthur Mccann. His Novella Who Goes There Was Adapted As The Films The Thing From Another World 1951 The Thing 1982 And The Thing 2011. It Is As Editor Of Astounding Science Fiction From Late 1937 Until His Death For Which Campbell Is Primarily Remembered Today. In 1939 Campbell Started The Fantasy Magazine Unknown Which Was Canceled After Only Four Years. Referring To His Time Spent As An Editor The Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction States: "More Than Any Other Individual He Helped To Shape Modern Sf."Isaac Asimov Called Campbell "The Most Powerful Force In Science Fiction Ever" And Said The "First Ten Years Of His Editorship He Dominated The Field Completely." In His Capacity As An Editor Campbell Published Some Of The Very Earliest Work And Helped Shape The Careers Of Virtually Every Important Science-Fiction Author To Debut Between 1938 And 1946 Including Asimov Robert A. Heinlein Theodore Sturgeon A. E. Van Vogt And Arthur C. Clarke. An Increasingly Strong Interest In Dianetics And Other Pseudoscience Later Alienated Campbell From Asimov. In The 1960S Campbell's Controversial Essays Supporting Segregation And Other Remarks And Writings Surrounding Slavery And Race Served To Distance Him From Many In The Science Fiction Community. Nevertheless Campbell Remained An Important Figure In Science Fiction Publishing Up Until His Death. Campbell And Astounding Shared One Of The Inaugural Hugo Awards With H. L. Gold And Galaxy At The 1953 World Science Fiction Convention. Subsequently Campbell And Astounding Won The Hugo Award For Best Professional Magazine Seven Times. Shortly After His Death In 1971 The University Of Kansas Science Fiction Program Established The Annual John W. Campbell Memorial Award For Best Science Fiction Novel And Also Renamed Its Annual Campbell Conference After Him. The World Science Fiction Society Established The Annual John W. Campbell Award For Best New Writer Since Renamed The Astounding Award For Best New Writer. The Science Fiction And Fantasy Hall Of Fame Inducted Campbell In 1996 In Its Inaugural Class Of Two Deceased And Two Living Persons. Simon and Schuster hardcover
