"Space - the final frontier. Logbook entry 2012. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its mission: to explore strange new worlds, to create new associations and new ways of thinking." Through only slight changes to our normal perception we too can take a ride on the Enterprise and explore new galaxies never before seen.

Have you ever, while dealing with the usual professional and private problems, asked yourself whether there¿s intelligent life anywhere in this universe? How did I get into this parallel universe? Sometimes even the simplest and most mundane decisions are void of any logical solution. A fascinating fact indeed! And sometimes only magic can provide a way out - or some other completely new method, say, time travel into the past or by neutralizing a stubborn computer.

This volume is a humorful approach to creative thinking in the accompaniment of Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy. It¿s a practical how-to handbook and a scientific essay all rolled into one - and hopefully it¿s the best possible way to avoid chronification and burnout, and not only among science-fiction fans!
