Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
33000 years back, humans turned one of their bitter enemies into a loyal friend. Who was this enemy? And how did this 'enemy' help Homo sapiens to get to the top of the food chain? A ball of dung rolled by a beetle transformed humanity. How did that happen? A human being riding a bicycle is the second most efficient locomotive on Earth. What is the first? How did humans survive the Toba Super-Volcano eruption 70,000 years ago? What's the connection between a prehistoric hominid fossil to the music band Beatles? Why has no one been able to find the tomb of Alexander the Great? Was it really Columbus who discovered the Americas? Who is the 'loneliest man and the 'oldest surviving human tribe’? When a playful tweenage daughter asked umpteen, incessant questions to her dad, the only way to answer was to embark on an adventurous journey across continents and millennia to put the pieces of human civilization and rediscovering oneself. From a one-million-year-old fireplace to treks through jungles and caves, from being hunted to becoming the hunter; the journey of knowing nothing to questioning everything and then back to knowing nothing. Would the father-daughter duo get their answers? Can she find her place in history and the universe?

ISBN: 080951205X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Tom Easton has served as the monthly book review columnist for Analog Science Fiction for almost three decades, having contributed during that span many hundreds of columns and over a million words of penetrating criticism on the best literature that science fiction has to offer. His reviews have been celebrated for their wit, humor, readability, knowledge, and incisiveness. His love of literature, particularly fantastic literature, is everywhere evident in his essays. Easton has ever been willing to cover small presses, obscure authors, and unusual publications, being the only major critic in the field to do so on a regular basis. He seems to delight in finding the rare gem among the backwaters of the publishing field. "A reviewer's job," he says, "is not to judge books for the ages, but to tell readers enough about a book to give them some idea of whether they would enjoy it." And this he does admirably, whether he's discussing the works of the great writers in the field, or touching upon the least amongst them. This companion volume to "Periodic Stars" (Borgo/Wildside) collects another 250 of Easton's best reviews from the last fifteen years of "The Reference Library." No one does it better, and no other guide provides such lengthy or discerning commentary on the best SF works of recent times. Complete with Introduction and detailed Index.
