Book excerpt: After a life's career as a photojournalist recording the horrors of wars and Police Actions throughout the world, Will McCord returns to the mountains of Central Oregon to revive the memories of living there in a cabin during the early 1960's as a young teenager, and to put to rest the demons of self doubt. He returns to refresh his memories of Kampotar Bakar, the little known legendary alien beast he had befriended and for whom Will had to kill a man to protect. Will relives the days of life and legend, and the lawlessness and greed he witnessed while enjoying a boy's life in the mountains during summer days and winter nights, slowly realizing life's circumstances were prematurely transforming him into a man. Will mentally walks once again through his days as a youth until it is manifested to him that although all things change with time, some things change slower than others, and the glorious days as a boy can be relived.

Book excerpt: PEN Literary Award Winner: “The best, most entertaining examination of the possibility of other life in the universe since [Carl] Sagan’s best work.” —Boulder Daily Camera It’s been decades since Carl Sagan first addressed the general public about the possibility of extraterrestrial life from a scientist’s perspective. We’ve learned a lot in those years, and now planetary scientist David Grinspoon investigates the big questions: How widespread are life and intelligence in the cosmos? Is life on Earth an accident, or in some sense the “purpose” of this universe? And how can we, working from the Earth-centric definition of “life,” even begin to think about the varieties of life-forms on other planets? In accessible, lively prose, and using the topic of extraterrestrial life as a mirror with which to view human beliefs, evolution, history, and aspirations, Grinspoon takes us on a three-part journey—the history of our expanding awareness of other planets and our ideas on alien life dating back to the earliest days of astronomy; the science of cosmic evolution and the evolution of life on Earth, including a critique of the “Rare Earth hypothesis”; and the beliefs that humans hold, addressing the limits of our ability to conceptualize or communicate with intelligent aliens and the scientific and philosophical implications of far-future evolutionary possibilities. Rich in personal and often amusing anecdotes, Lonely Planets explores the shifting boundary between planetary science and natural philosophy, and reveals how the search for extraterrestrial life unites our spiritual and scientific quests for connection with the cosmos. Includes a new foreword about recent Mars discoveries “An outstanding introduction to cosmic evolution.” —San Jose Mercury News “[A] terrific book.” —San Diego Union-Tribune “A personable chat on life, the universe and everything.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book New Women s Writing written by Subashish Bhattacharjee and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uptake of women’s writing as a distinct genre in literature since the 1960s has been rapid and multifarious. This development has fuelled a generation of literary and cultural studies, and can be seen in the growing influence of women’s and gender studies even in literary studies programs. The study of women’s writing has alerted literature to crucial social, political and cultural problems with which the discipline must continue to grapple. New Women’s Writing addresses this legacy and reflects upon the following questions: What is a critical history of women’s writing? How has women’s writing challenged literature’s rigid disciplinary construction? How can we derive a distinct philosophy of women’s writing and literary studies? How does an engagement with women’s writing contribute to a literary understanding of the complex politics of literature? This book is designed to interest both the seasoned scholar of women’s writing, as well as fledgling scholars who wish to grapple with the broad concept of women’s writing and its manifestations in the twentieth century and thereafter.

Book excerpt: Original Sin by Michael Jan Friedman Centuries after the death of the original Ellen Ripley, her clone has joined the fight against the Alien threat. With the help of an android named Call, a brutal hired gun named Johner, and a paraplegic mechanic named Vriess, she will battle an Alien horror, and discover the answer to a question that pierces the Alien mystery to its seething acid-chamber of a heart. DNA War by Diane Carey In a bleak galaxy, the hospitable planet Rosamond 6 is a rare find. But while it may look like an oasis among the stars, it harbors a fatal secret: it is infested with Aliens. Eager to prove her theory that the Aliens can be reasoned with, anthropologist Jocasta Malvaux has set up an observation post there. And something unexpected happens: the Aliens don't attack. But, why? Could it be that the monsters are evolving? Or is it a matter of time until every person on the planet must fight for their lives?

Download or read book Genes Only Defence written by AJC Green and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of time, a supernatural being was spawned and she oversaw the creation of the universe. A series of environmental disasters and protonic wars have ruined the planet Zula. A space station was built to house a select group of survivors. The scientists on the space station develop new technologies, which are used to build a new spaceship. Also developed is D-stasis, a process for extending hibernation indefinitely, which could facilitate travel over intergalactic distances. When the space station is attacked by aliens, the only way to save a group of children is to launch them in the new spaceship, which has been programmed to search for a habitable planet. The mysterious spirit – Leaffe – intervenes. After a voyage of 20,000 light years, they awaken from D-stasis in a solar system consisting of nine planets and a small sun. The ship is near an ice planet, which is obviously uninhabitable. An accident with a 3-D model prompts a plan to blow up a moon, which should lead to the planet being moved to a warmer orbit. Radio contact through a black hole has enabled the receipt of messages transmitted from the space station Haven, and possible transport, giving them hope of seeing their families in the future. Their system of hibernation allows the travellers to periodically observe the planet’s geological and evolutionary changes over long periods, without themselves aging. The planet is seeded with a variety of life forms, whose evolution leads to some interesting and dangerous adventures.

Download or read book Immigration Law and the U S Mexico Border written by Kevin R. Johnson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans from radically different political persuasions agree on the need to “fix” the “broken” US immigration laws to address serious deficiencies and improve border enforcement. In Immigration Law and the US–Mexico Border, Kevin Johnson and Bernard Trujillo focus on what for many is at the core of the entire immigration debate in modern America: immigration from Mexico. In clear, reasonable prose, Johnson and Trujillo explore the long history of discrimination against US citizens of Mexican ancestry in the United States and the current movement against “illegal aliens”—persons depicted as not deserving fair treatment by US law. The authors argue that the United States has a special relationship with Mexico by virtue of sharing a 2,000-mile border and a “land-grab of epic proportions” when the United States “acquired” nearly two-thirds of Mexican territory between 1836 and 1853. The authors explain US immigration law and policy in its many aspects—including the migration of labor, the place of state and local regulation over immigration, and the contributions of Mexican immigrants to the US economy. Their objective is to help thinking citizens on both sides of the border to sort through an issue with a long, emotional history that will undoubtedly continue to inflame politics until cooler, and better-informed, heads can prevail. The authors conclude by outlining possibilities for the future, sketching a possible movement to promote social justice. Great for use by students of immigration law, border studies, and Latino studies, this book will also be of interest to anyone wondering about the general state of immigration law as it pertains to our most troublesome border.
