Sci-fi master Theodore Sturgeon wrote stories with power and freshness, and in telling them created a broader understanding of humanity-a legacy for readers and writers to mine for generations. Along with the title story, the collection includes stories written between 1953 and 1955, Sturgeon''s greatest period, with such favorites as "Bulkhead," "The Golden Helix," and "To Here and the Easel."
