Recensioner i media

From the book reviews: "The book is well-written and fully illustrated in color. ... this is an excellent volume that reads like the best science fact articles in Analog. SF writers in particular will want to read Beyond Human as a reference, but it's also a rewarding read for anyone who enjoys speculating on the frontiers of current science." (Don Sakers, Analog Science Fiction & Fact, April, 2015)
