Around the Universe by Ray Cummings:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"HERE is one of the most interesting interplanetarian and interstellar stories ever printed. If you are attracted by astronomy, and like to take your lessons in sugar-coated pills, here is a story that you will not soon forget. The narration, incidentally, is written in a lighter vein, with Mr. Cummings’ indescribable good humor. For its breadth and completeness, this story easily commands one of the first rank positions in all interstellar space travel stories that have appeared in recent years. Mr. Cummings knows his science, and knows how to spin a most excellent yarn. You simply can not afford to pass this story by."
