This book describes speculative macro-engineering ideas, along with other general innovations in technology and environmental change, and offers an extensive appendix of reference material, useful for inventors and engineers seriously considering macro-projects and as a review for less technically oriented readers. New methods for travel in outer space, magnetic aircraft, and wind power stations are some of the many ideas explored.
