What is The best of Arthur C. Clarke about?

These eighteen stories are chosen to show Clarke's development in both areas. The collection includes: Hide and Seek One man against a murderously efficient space cruiser-on an asteroid only 20 kilometres wide. The Sentinel The short story on which the author based 2001.
