Amazon.com Review:

Did your last con visit leave you feeling out of touch? Was the latest
issue of Locus full of unfamiliar writers? Or are you looking for a
definitive analysis of the role of eschatology inscience fiction?
Look no further. You can find all the help you need, and the answers
to questions you didn't even know you wanted to ask, in John Clute
and Peter Nicholls's invaluable reference work, The Encyclopedia
of Science Fiction. In the introduction, Clute and Nicholls write,
We see this book as more than merely an encyclopedia of sf; it is
a comprehensive history and analysis of the genre.

With over 4,360 entries and 1,300,000 words, this is a jam-packed
sourcebook on science fiction authors, books, subgenres,
movements, and history. You can live without it, but why would you
want to? It's got riveting trivia on every page, hours of browsing
enjoyment, and endless potential for playing spot-the-error, a
game popular among science fiction writers and fans. Clute and
Nicholls have put together an admirable, ever-improving encyclopedia
that tries to encompass a genre that grows new pseudopods every year.
This is a great resource for fans and writers. Those with a yen for a
more visual approach might appreciate Clute's Science Fiction:
The Illustrated Encyclopedia, and fantasy readers and writers should
definitely check out The Encyclopedia of Fantasy when the new edition
is published early in 1999. Therese Littleton

The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction


Synopsis

From Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Arthur C. Clarke to Chelsea-Quinn Yarbro and Roger Zelazny, from science fiction authors worldwide to the directors of sci-fi films for movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey and television series like Star Trek, from the magazines that publish the writers in this exciting and extraordinarily inventive field to the Hugos, Nebulas, and other awards that annually honor them, this encyclopedia offers the most concise, clear, and comprehensive guide currently available to one of fiction's most popular and intriguing genres. In an A-to-Z format, augmented by an ample index and helpful cross-references, this richly informative volume presents science fiction as it appears in film as well as in the print media, including entries on important illustrators, and covers both the modern developments in the field and the classic landmarks. Furthermore, each author entry ends with an "Also see" section that directs readers to related topics, and all entries provide full bibliographies. Equally invaluable is the opening chapter, which gives a brief history of the genre and traces its evolution from origins that long precede the twentieth century.
Publishers Weekly

From steampunk to space opera to humanist sci-fi, from Arthur Conan Doyle to The Six Million Dollar Man, and from implants to teleportation, George Mann navigates genre-benders, numerous media, neologisms and common terms, thrills, disappointments and traditions in The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. Entries in this comprehensive reference guide include several descriptive and factual paragraphs, cross-references, suggested reading and bibliographic information. Mann, editor of Ottaker's science fiction magazine, defines his variegated, evolving subject (e.g., what differentiates SF from fantasy?) while remaining flexible and forward-thinking. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

This encyclopedia is the most concise, clear guide to all aspects of science fiction, from its background to generic themes and devices, from authors (established and new) to films. Science fiction has evolved into one of the most popular, cutting-edge and exciting fiction geners, with a proliferation of modern and classic authors, themes and ideas,movies, TV series and awards. Arranged in an A-Z format, and featuring a comprehensive index and cross-referencing system, The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction is also the most accessible and easy to use encyclopedia of its kind currently available.

The Encyclopedia is broken up into several parts. After a preface, Mann discusses the origins and history of SF. The next section, the longest, discusses selected authors. The subsequent section looks at SF in movies and TV. Mann has a goodly section on thematic entries, as well. Finally, he finishes the work with a look at SF societies and awards and such, and has a substantial section on internet resources. Although the hazards of the Internet make such sections perilously prone to being outdated, it was a pleasure to see one here. The book is cross-referenced too.
