This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mike Ashley's acclaimed history of science-fiction magazines comes to the 1980s with Science-Fiction Rebels: The Story of the Science Fiction Magazines from 1981 to 1990. This volume charts a significant revolution throughout science fiction, much of which was driven by the alternative press, and by new editors at the leading magazines. The period saw the emergence of the cyberpunk movement, and the drive for, what David Hartwell called, 'The Hard SF Renaissance', which was driven from within Britain. Ashley plots the rise of many new authors in both strands: William Gibson, John Shirley, Bruce Sterling, John Kessel, Pat Cadigan, Rudy Rucker in cyberpunk, and Stephen Baxter, Alistair Reynolds, Peter Hamilton, Neal Asher, Robert Reed, in hard sf. He also shows how the alternative magazines looked to support each other through alliances, which allowed them to share and develop ideas as science-fiction evolved.

Download or read book Epitome of Copernican Astronomy and Harmonies of the World written by Johannes Kepler and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brilliant German mathematician Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), one of the founders of modern astronomy, revolutionized the Copernican heliocentric theory of the universe with his three laws of motion: that the planets move not in circular but elliptical orbits, that their speed is greatest when nearest the sun, and that the sun and planets form an integrated system. This volume contains two of his most important works: The Epitome of Copernican Astronomy (books 4 and 5 of which are translated here) is a textbook of Copernican science, remarkable for the prominence given to physical astronomy and for the extension to the Jovian system of the laws recently discovered to regulate the motions of the Planets. Harmonies of the World (book 5 of which is translated here) expounds an elaborate system of celestial harmonies depending on the varying velocities of the planets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ia Cōcha never thought she'd be working for the Olympus Commonwealth. But that was before she found out her trusted brother Einn was trying to tear apart the universe. Now, Ia, the Blood Wolf of the Skies, has agreed to help the Royal Star Force on one condition: when she finds him, she gets to kill Einn herself. Brinn Tarver has just come to terms with her Tawny identity when the public lashes out against her people, crushing her family. At her breaking point, she starts to question everything she believes in—including Ia. After the death of his mentor, Knives Adams is doing his best to live up to a role he didn’t ask for as Aphelion’s new headmaster. Still, with each new step deeper into war, he feels torn between his duties and the pull of Ia’s radical—sometimes criminal—ideas. As they fight to keep darkness from eclipsing the skies, their unpredictable choices launch this breathtaking sequel to explosive new heights.

Download or read book The Rage of the Aphelion written by Jeffrey B. Holl and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rage of the Aphelion is a collection of poetic works that typify the world as it is within these trying and ever-changing times of economic disparity, and the very glorification of our presence on Earth as we move into the most advanced stage of economic awareness and technological consciousness since the Age of Enlightenment. Jeffrey B. Holl has captured a certain strength of awareness that does regaleyet vilifyour culture as we show a pronounced reluctance to celebrate the human race within a society more driven by equality that moves to secure a place for each and every being on Earthnot only the chosen few. While still within a world that struggles to assert its independence from the sources of control that limit future endeavors of the generations that will follow, Jeffrey finds himself transfixed by the very notion of creating works that will compel people to persevere in the struggle to accentuate their own outlook within the notion that life is not a futile endeavoras suchand can be a more formidable attempt at constructing a veritable fortress of thought so as to defeat these hidden quantities that disassemble the nature of those that stand for the concerted effort to make this planet a more acceptable place for all that inhabit it. Only throughout the power of language and its art will this become a possibility as we move forward into an uncertainyet determinate futureutilizing the power of free will to outline an outcome that will allow us to survive and enlighten our sense of being with the knowledge necessary to perpetuate a positive outcome for the human race.
