Roadside Picnic
Author: Arkady Strugatsky
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613743440
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of those young rebels who are compelled, in spite of extreme danger, to venture illegally into the Zone to collect the mysterious artifacts that the alien visitors left scattered around. His life is dominated by the place and the thriving black market in the alien products. But when he and his friend Kirill go into the Zone together to pick up a &“full empty,&” something goes wrong. And the news he gets from his girlfriend upon his return makes it inevitable that he'll keep going back to the Zone, again and again, until he finds the answer to all his problems. First published in 1972, Roadside Picnic is still widely regarded as one of the greatest science fiction novels, despite the fact that it has been out of print in the United States for almost thirty years. This authoritative new translation corrects many errors and omissions and has been supplemented with a foreword by Ursula K. Le Guin and a new afterword by Boris Strugatsky explaining the strange history of the novel's publication in Russia.

A Fire in the Sun
Author: George Alec Effinger
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1497605679
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
The Hugo Award–winning author returns to the futuristic, high-tech Middle East setting of When Gravity Falls in this “major science fiction epic” (Locus). In a world filled with so many puppets, strings tend to get tangled. In this follow-up to the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel When Gravity Fails, the Budayeen is still a very dangerous place, a high-tech Arabian ghetto where power and murder go hand in hand. Marid Audran used to be a low-level street hustler, relying on his wits and independence. Now he’s a cop planted in the force by Friedlander Bey, the powerful “godfather” of the Budayeen. Marid is supposed to simply be Bey’s envoy into the police, but as a series of grisly murders piles up—children, prostitutes, a fellow officer—he is drawn deeper and deeper into the city’s chaos. Would Marid give up all his newfound money and power to get out of this mess? Absolutely. If only he could. But answers are never that easy and choices are never completely one’s own in the Budayeen.

Lost America : The Abandoned Roadside West
Author: Troy Paiva
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781610606530
Category : Automobile travel
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
A stunningly photographed examination of the roadside icons that dot America's landscape. Lost America celebrates the boom-to-bust towns, aircraft bone yards, and filling stations of days past that were sacrificed at the altars of speed and technology and relegated to windswept desert plains and abandoned fields. The eye-catching and memorable photography is complemented with a succinct text history that details the rise and fall of each subject. The result is an impressive tour of an America still standing, yet largely forgotten.

The Roadside Scholar
Author: Brad Stinn
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578533728
Category : Finance, Personal
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The Roadside Scholar is a one of a kind personal finance book: a road map to getting rich that is as entertaining and easy to read as People magazine. From the first page describing how The Roadside Scholar nickname came about, the reader is drawn into the stories and anecdotes from the author's 10 years of teaching in Federal prison. It is full of insights and great advice. A compelling and easy to understand five step program for wealth creation that anyone can use is presented: Do Not Make a Plan - Start, Happiness is Positive Cash Flow, Do Not Save - Invest, Be an Owner Never Sell. Brad Stinn, a Harvard Economics graduate and former Wall Street analyst and CEO of a public company, points out a glaring hole in our educational system. The majority of Americans have been done a disservice as it relates to money and investing: very few schools (public or private) teach these topics. Yet, it has never been more important for Americans to know something about money matters. Through classroom experience, the author learned that it is not enough to teach the confusing language of the financial world. To inspire action, a translation and encouragement are required. That is where The Roadside Scholar comes in.
