'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!
