Book Description
Professor Stan Christen struggles to come to terms with a dark moment in his past. Driven to write to ease the pain, The Giant of the Beyond is his therapy. The Giant sees Stan as a 10-year-old boy. With his friend, Walter Davidson, they both conjure up a plan to take an ill-advised bike trip in Rougemont Forest. Driven by a sense of adventure and a cavalier attitude, they each defy the stern warnings of their parents and Mrs. F., their teacher. To some, the forest was hell. To Stan and Walter, it represented freedom. To one man, it was the chance to mop up unfinished, twisted family business.

Life in the Solar System and Beyond
Author: Barrie W. Jones
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1852338970
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
In Life in the Solar System and Beyond, Professor Jones has written a broad introduction to the subject, addressing important topics such as, what is life?, the origins of life and where to look for extraterrestrial life. The chapters are arranged as follows: Chapter 1 is a broad introduction to the cosmos, with an emphasis on where we might find life. In Chapters 2 and 3 Professor Jones discusses life on Earth, the one place we know to be inhabited. Chapter 4 is a brief tour of the Solar system, leading us in Chapters 5 and 6 to two promising potential habitats, Mars and Europa. In Chapter 7 the author discusses the fate of life in the Solar system, which gives us extra reason to consider life further afield. Chapter 8 focuses on the types of stars that might host habitable planets, and where in the Galaxy these might be concentrated. Chapters 9 and 10 describe the instruments and techniques being employed to discover planets around other stars (exoplanetary systems), and those that will be employed in the near future. Chapter 11 summarizes the known exoplanetary systems, together with an outline of the systems we expect to discover soon, particularly habitable planets. Chapter 12 describes how we will attempt to find life on these planets, and the final chapter brings us to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the question as to whether we are alone.

Beyond Bagpuss
Author: Chris Pallant
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 183902240X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Ivor the Engine, Noggin the Nog, Pingwings, Pogles Wood, Clangers, and Bagpuss - the iconic animations produced by the Canterbury-based Smallfilms studio between 1958 and 1984 - constitute a significant thread of British cultural history. The lasting appeal of the imagined worlds created by Smallfilms is evident in the highly-successful BBC reboot of Clangers (2015-present), which has introduced a whole new audience to the pink moon mice. As well as the shows likely to be famiilar to readers, this history expands the Smallfilms story to include those less well-known animated shows that nonetheless played an important part in the studio's history. Through extensive studio access, interviews with many key Smallfilms collaborators, press and audience analysis, Chris Pallant provides a comprehensive and definitive historical record of the studio's work. Beyond Bagpuss is illustrated with 100 images from the Smallfilms archive, including those that have not previously been published.

Beyond Dracula
Author: W. Hughes
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230598870
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Beyond Dracula represents an important critical departure from the customary psychoanalytical approach to the writings of Bram Stoker. Reading Stoker as a participant in Victorian and Edwardian cultural life, the volume examines the breadth of Stoker's novel-length fiction, as well as his journalism, biographical writings and short fiction. In its considerations of questions of religion, censorship, gender and medicine, the volume will interest not merely readers of the Gothic but those involved in the study of Victorian and Edwardian culture.

Book Description
Jovita Ló-Rran was much more than a petty thief... ...But who doesn’t love an adventure? Thousands of years in the future and millions of light years away, the Ground is probably the worst place to live in the known universe and is definitely the worst part of the city-planet Yilzoc. There is almost nothing Jovita wants more than an escape until she finds adventure in the form of a ring with a pricey reward. Leaving the Ground and her brother, Zoren, for the first time, Jo meets Neo, a boy from the Sky - the highest level of Yilzoc. In exchange for his ring and her accepting an invitation to a dinner party, he agrees to hire a ship and crew for Jo so she can leave the planet, but a chance encounter with the head of the Council of United System sends Jo running from their deal. Jo, Neo, and Zoren join a team of outcasts and runaways on the Cyphris and leave Yilzoc. As they travel through a universe tettering on the edge of galactic war, it becomes clear that Jo is not what she seems. Will it be too late for the others when they learn the truth? Is it already too late for Jovita to escape?
