Science Fact and Science Fiction
Author: Brian Stableford
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135923736
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 758
Book Description
Science fiction is a literary genre based on scientific speculation. Works of science fiction use the ideas and the vocabulary of all sciences to create valid narratives that explore the future effects of science on events and human beings. Science Fact and Science Fiction examines in one volume how science has propelled science-fiction and, to a lesser extent, how science fiction has influenced the sciences. Although coverage will discuss the science behind the fiction from the Classical Age to the present, focus is naturally on the 19th century to the present, when the Industrial Revolution and spectacular progress in science and technology triggered an influx of science-fiction works speculating on the future. As scientific developments alter expectations for the future, the literature absorbs, uses, and adapts such contextual visions. The goal of the Encyclopedia is not to present a catalog of sciences and their application in literary fiction, but rather to study the ongoing flow and counterflow of influences, including how fictional representations of science affect how we view its practice and disciplines. Although the main focus is on literature, other forms of science fiction, including film and video games, are explored and, because science is an international matter, works from non-English speaking countries are discussed as needed.

Book Description
In 1910 the Cohen family, in search of the Golden Medina, undertakes a dangerous journey from Russia to the United States, where the new world exposes family secrets, cultural conflicts, the corruption of the American Dream, and love's divides. Traveling in steerage to Ellis Island, the family endures the poverty and dirt of New York City and retreats to a farm in southern New Jersey--to find not the agricultural Eden they were promised, but Babylon. Told in several voices, this tale bears witness to a new generation learning to find hope in a land that often sacrifices human decency for profit and greed.

Breaking the Master's S.H.I.T. Holes
Author: Musa W. Dube
Publisher: Evangelische Verlagsanstalt
ISBN: 3374066895
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The Trump neo-liberal and global warming era has intensified migration, highlighting the diasporic space and global structures as the context of theological inquiry. It is signified by the rise of overt sexism, racism, classism, anthropocentricism, Islamophobia and intensified conservatism that determine who crosses the boundaries, the terms of their crossing and the hospitality they receive. President Trump's shocking statement that characterized some Two-Thirds World countries as S.H.I.T. Holes as well as his travel ban policies that targeted countries of particular religious faith, attest to overt racism. In this volume, African theological scholars challenge euro-centric racist-global immigration policies and propose the paradigm of breaking the master's S.H.I.T. Holes. [Die Kloschüsseln der Herrschenden zerbrechen. Theologie treiben im Kontext globaler Migration] Die Trump-Ära hat im Zeichen von Neo-Liberalismus und Klimawandel eine Migrationswelle ausgelöst und die globalen Machtstrukturen sowie die Diaspora zum Kontext theologischer Forschung werden lassen. Sie ist gekennzeichnet durch offenen Sexismus, Rassismus, Klassismus, Anthropozentrismus, Islamophobia und intensiviertem Konservatismus, der bestimmt, wer die Grenzen überschreiten darf, die Bedingungen ihrer Überschreitung und die Gastfreundschaft die sie erfahren. Präsident Trumps schockierende Charakterisierung einiger Zwei-Drittel-Welt Länder als "Kloschüsseln" wie auch sein Einreiseverbot, das auf Länder mit einer bestimmten religiösen Orientierung zielt, zeugen von unverhohlenem Rassismus. In diesem Band stellen afrikanische Theologen und Theologinnen eine euro-zentrische, global-rassistische Immigrationspolitik im Rahmen ihres neuen Paradigmas "Zerbrechen der Kloschüsseln der Herrschenden" in Frage.

Science Fiction Magazine Story Index, 1926-1995
Author: Terry A. Murray
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
Since the appearance of the first science fiction magazine in 1926, thousands of short stories have been published in periodicals devoted to the genre. These stories cover a wide range of subjects, from spacecraft to the human condition, and feature little-known authors as well as masters like Ellison and Asimov. In the past, finding which issue of what magazine ran a certain story was nearly impossible. This much-needed reference tool provides valuable assistance in the daunting task of locating short stories published in science fiction magazines, providing exhaustive indexes to magazines, authors, and titles, allowing a variety of options for research on 34,000 stories appearing in nearly 5,000 issues of 133 genre magazines. Stories from all major American publications, as well as from several minor periodicals, are indexed. Also included is an appendix of the best known and most prolific contributors, giving the titles of all their stories in this work (necessary because the huge author index does not show titles). A guide to how to use this book clarifies its features for the researcher.
