Nine Rarities

Publisher: St. Swithin Press
ISBN: 1927551102

Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
This Ray Bradbury collection is comprised of nine early short stories rarely or never reprinted since first publication. Included are three stories originally published in Mr. Bradbury's own science fiction fanzine, Futuria Fantasia. "Don't Get Technatal": Jumping Jigwheels! If you enjoy exclamation points, this story was written for you! In the distant year of 1975 a dissatisfied writer rants about the state of society! Could robosexuality be the answer he seeks?(!) "The Pendulum": A delightful little story with delightfully unconventional spelling. "The Flight of the Good Ship Clarissa": Not entirely lucid but entertaining nevertheless. "I, Rocket": There may be an unwholesome subtext to this story. "Mass is the sexual drive of space, and gravity the intensified yearning of that mass, the gravitic libido of one tremendous body for the love, the following of any and all smaller bodies who transgress its void boundaries." "Undersea Guardians": Half-naked sea-dwelling zombies battle the Nazi Kriegsmarine! "Final Victim": "Hunting a criminal is tough enough, but it's even tougher when it's on a bit of Hell's own rock in the void of space." "Defense Mech": There are no giant, Japanese-speaking robots in this story. It is, however, a riveting tale of the effects of space on the human psyche. "Lorelei of the Red Mist": A second chance in someone else's body becomes complicated when its previous owner was universally hated. "Jonah of the Jove-Run": "They hated this little beat-up old guy. Even if his crazy cosmic brain could track an asteroid clear across the Galaxy, why did he have to smash the super-sensitive meteor detectors?" About 55,000 words in total. Punctuation and apparent typographical errors in the Futuria Fantasia stories have been left as originally published. "Don't Get Technatal" (as Ron Reynolds) Futuria Fantasia (1939) "The Pendulum" (uncredited) Futuria Fantasia (1939) "The Flight of the Good Ship Clarissa" (uncredited) Futuria Fantasia (1940) "I, Rocket" Amazing Stories (May 1944) "Undersea Guardians" Amazing Stories (December 1944) "Final Victim" Amazing Stories (February 1946) "Defense Mech" Planet Stories (February 1946) "Lorelei of the Red Mist" Planet Stories (May 1946) "Jonah of the Jove-Run" Planet Stories (Spring, 1948)

Studying Religion
Author: Russell T. McCutcheon
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317491661
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Widely used as a primer, a text and a provocation to critical thinking, 'Studying Religion' aims to develop students' skills. The book clearly explains the methods and theories employed in the study of religion. Essays are offered on a range of topics: from the history and functions of religion to public discourse on religion and the classification of religions. The works of key scholars - from Karl Marx, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Rudolf Otto to Mircea Eliade, James G. Frazer, and Sigmund Freud - are analysed and explored. 'Studying Religion' represents a shift away from the traditional focus of describing the exotic or curious religious 'Other' to an examination of how religious behaviours and institutions are studied. The book will be invaluable to students of religious studies.

Pegasus in Space
Author: Anne McCaffrey
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 034544308X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
In a triumphant career spanning more than thirty years, Anne McCaffrey has won the acclaim of critics, the devotion of millions of fans, and awards too numerous to mention. Her bestselling Dragonriders of Pern® series is counted among the masterpieces of modern science fiction, a work whose popularity continues to grow as new generations of readers discover the literary magic only Anne McCaffrey can provide. Now that magic is back, displayed as breathtakingly as ever in the exciting and long-awaited addition to McCaffrey's classic Pegasus series—and the perfect link to her bestselling Tower and Hive saga . . . PEGASUS IN SPACE For an overpopulated Earth whose resources are strained to the breaking point, there is only one place to look for relief: straight up. With the successful completion of the Padrugoi Space Station, humanity has at last achieved its first large-scale permanent presence in space. Additional bases are feverishly being built on the Moon and on Mars, stepping stones to the greatest adventure in all history: the colonization of alien worlds. Already long-range telescopes have identified a number of habitable planets orbiting the stars of distant galaxies. Now it's just a question of getting there. But there are those who, for selfish motives of their own, want Padrugoi and the other outposts to fail. People who will stop at nothing to maintain their power or to revenge its loss. Standing in their way are the Talented, men and women gifted with extraordinary mental powers that have made them as feared as they are respected—and utterly indispensable to the colonization effort. There is Peter Reidinger, a teenage paraplegic who happens to be the strongest telekinetic ever, his mind capable of teleporting objects and people thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. Yet all his power cannot repair his damaged spine or allow him to feel the gentle touch of a loved one . . . Rhyssa Owen, the powerful telepath and mother hen to Peter and the rest of her "children"—and a fierce, unrelenting fighter against the prejudice that would deny the Talented the right to lead happy and productive lives . . . and Amariyah, an orphan girl who loves two things in the world above all others: gardening and Peter Reidinger. And woe to anyone who harms either one of them—for the young girl's talent may prove to be the most amazing of all. Now, as sabotage and attempted murder strike the Station, it's up to the Talented to save the day. Only who's going to save the Talented?

Sci-Fi Boxed Set: 160+ Space Adventures, Lost Worlds, Dystopian Novels & Apocalyptic Tales
Author: Jules Verne
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 13570
Book Description
The 'Sci-Fi Boxed Set: 160+ Space Adventures, Lost Worlds, Dystopian Novels & Apocalyptic Tales' represents an unparalleled amalgamation of literary brilliance spanning several centuries, embracing a myriad of voices that have shaped the science fiction genre. With works ranging from the pioneering speculative visions of Mary Shelley and H.G. Wells to the complex dystopias of Ayn Rand and Kurt Vonnegut, this collection showcases a breathtaking diversity in storytelling and thematic exploration. The assemblage stands out for its incorporation of early sci-fi novellas that paved the way for modern science fiction, alongside seminal apocalyptic narratives that question the very essence of humanity and our place in the universe. Standout pieces delve into uncharted galaxies, unravel dystopian societies, and craft tales of lost worlds with an imaginative fervor that continues to inspire and challenge the literary canon. The contributing authors and editors, drawn from various epochs and cultures, bring with them a rich tapestry of backgrounds, each contributing uniquely to the tapestry of science fiction. Icons like Edgar Allan Poe and Philip K. Dick are presented alongside lesser-known but equally influential figures such as Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and Gertrude Barrows Bennett, offering insights into the genre's evolution and its intersections with historical, cultural, and literary movements. This diverse authorship ensures a multifaceted exploration of themes such as colonialism, technological innovation, and existential risk, presenting a comprehensive narrative of humanitys hopes, fears, and philosophical inquiries. This collection is an indispensable treasure trove for anyone seeking to delve into the depths of science fiction, offering an unprecedented opportunity to engage with the genre's evolution from its inception to contemporary times. Readers are invited to embark on a journey through time and space, exploring the farthest reaches of human imagination and the myriad ways in which these visions of the future reflect our current realities. The 'Sci-Fi Boxed Set' is not merely a compilation of stories; it is a dialogue between generations of storytellers, a scholarly expedition into the heart of speculative fiction, and a compelling invitation to ponder what lies beyond the known universe.
