Time Plays by Percival Poems, poetic letters, prose, plays, and autobio graphical words ... there is no lack of playful words in Time Plays. The first (limited) edition was published in 1999, and in August that year at Shakespeare & Company, Paris, the author recited some of his Time Plays poems. This new, illustrated, revised and enlarged edition has no limits. One of the texts is a speech called ‘The SolarConsciousness Era', and at the end of the book you can read: ‘Who is a Human Being in Time's Play?' Once the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett wrote to the author (living in Stockholm, Sweden): ‘Best wishes for the future of Time Plays.' Now the future is here and Time Plays. Percival (first name and surname) is the author of many books in Swedish and a few in English. He has exhibited his paintings and photographs, composed experimental world music and directed some of his own plays and a play by Beckett. Play Time Music was first performed in Quito, Ecuador, in 2002. In the year 2004 his musical choreo-drama The Waves. For Mary Magdalene was a part of the first summer festival at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Egypt. In 2014 an unlimited edition of his book Letters to Shanti was published, a book written on four continents to a woman called Shanti, a name and a Sanskrit word of great importance in the book The Waste Land by the poet T.S. Eliot.

This volume is based on the proceedings of an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held October 1987 in Corfu, Greece. The Institute received financial support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S.A. Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, U.S.A. Department of Energy, U.S.A. Deutsche Forschungs-und Versuchanstalt fur Luft­ und Raumfahrt e.v., Kaln, Germany The advent of the shuttle era is providing fresh impetus for large space ventures such as communication centers, solar power stations, astronomical observatories, orbiting factories, and space based radar. Such ventures will rely heavily on an extensive and prolonged human presence in space doing in-orbit construction, maintenance, and opera­ tion. Among the advantages of location in space are the near zero gravity environment, commanding location, and the reception of solar energy and astronomical signals unattenuated by the atmosphere. Central to long-term manned space missions are the problems associated with the effects of exposure to ionizing radiations on humans. Manned space mis­ sions in the past have encountered relatively benign radiation environ­ ments because of their very short duration and orbit configuration. However, crew stay time of up to a year has been recently achieved by the Soviet space program; and Mars missions lasting several years are under serious consideration.
