Cr�ticas:

This is Adrian Berry at his best, partly because he writes so well and partly because he has a fascinating theme...I hope that his book will be republished in 2099, since by then we ought to have gained a much better idea of what lies ahead, and be able to gauge the extent to which his forecasts have been accurate. In any case, The Giant Leap is a great read, and I am confident that you will enjoy it immensely - I certainly did. (Patrick Moore, Literary Review)

'What fun this book is, and how cheerful, in a world where few look ahead to anything more exciting than the Third Way.' Fay Weldon, Daily Telegraph

'[a] fascinating book' Tim Kelsey, Sunday Times
