Thank you for posting.  Hal Clement's death is very sad.  I read
`Mission of Gravity' when I was 12 or 13; it was, perhaps, the most
important and influential book in my life.  Clement told you enough to
determine out the length of a day on the first page and I still
remember figuring it out.  Hal Clement gave me a sense of what is
truly real in different environments, and what is not.
