Xavier Thaxton is the arts editor of a great metropolitan newspaper, and is a man whose aesthetic values are of only the highest calibre. But after an accidental dip in a radioactive swimming hole, Xavier finds his life changing as he is forced, step by step, despite all he can do, to assume the mantle and manner of a comic book superhero, and to be a living icon of the pop culture he has spent his life detesting.

Boom Town Blues: Collapse and Revival in a Single-Industry Community tells of the Northern Ontario city of Elliot Lake, once the uranium capital of the world, which was devastated by the closing of the uranium mines operated by Denison and Rio Algom. The closures and mass layoffs were first announced in 1990 with the layoffs occurring from then until June 1996. Throughout the period after the layoffs were announced, several major research projects were undertaken. One, the Elliot Lake Tracking and Adjustment Study, follows approximately 1,000 of the laid-off miners and 530 of their spouses through their adjustment processes. Another, the Seniors Needs Assessment, examines the human resource and service needs of the increasing numbers of seniors moving to Elliot Lake as part of the community’s economic strategy. In addition to these social scientific studies, several land and environmental reclamation research projects have been undertaken. Boom Town Blues: Collapse and Revival in a Single-Industry Community tells the reader about the results of these studies and gives a variety of community-based perspectives on the Elliot Lake story. The book highlights the struggles and successes of families and of the community as a whole. Boom Town Blues is about one community’s struggle to survive, to shift its economic base from mining to one where retirement living for seniors, mine decommissioning, and a community-based research facility would be among several economic survival strategies. The book is of interest to readers throughout Northern Ontario and, indeed, wherever single-industry towns are threatened by major shifting in their economic base and are struggling to survive. The book also provides an excellent case study for teachers, students, policy makers, and politicians.

"Als Philip K. erwachte, stellte er fest, dass er über Nacht aus einem verhältnismäßig wohlgeformten, bilateral-symmetrischen menschlichen Wesen zu... einem runden, gliedlosen Planetenkörper geworden war, der einen gigantischen, dunstig-roten Stern umkreiste. Tatsächlich folgerte Philip K. aus dem simplen Gefühl, aus der totalen Aura, die sich in die Samenkörner seines Bewusstseins projizierte, dass er eine Tomate war. Eine Tomate, die hinsichtlich ihrer Dimension und Masse etwa dem Planeten Mars entsprechen mochte. Das war es, ohne Zweifel: eine Treibhaustomate." Das Erscheinen Michael Bishops hat in der internationalen Science-Fiction-Szene beträchtliches Aufsehen erregt - dies nicht zuletzt deswegen, weil sich seine atmosphärisch dichten und stilistisch ausgefeilten Erzählungen eher der modernen amerikanischen Literatur zurechnen lassen als dem, was man gemeinhin von der Science Fiction erwartet. Obwohl man ihn vornehmlich als Verfasser einer stark soziologisch orientierten Science Fiction apostrophiert, zeigen die in diesem Band versammelten Erzählungen, zu welcher Ausdrucksstärke und Farbigkeit dieser Autor fähig ist. Bishop ist ein Ideenmann und Stilist, sein Werk ist von einer grundlegenden Menschlichkeit, auch wenn seine Charaktere uns unmenschlich erscheinen mögen oder - mitunter – gar Maschinen sind. Arachne enthält die besten Kurzgeschichten und Novellen des Autors. Mehrere der hier vorgelegten Texte wurden für den Hugo-und den Nebula-Award nominiert.

ويرى ديتمار أن التطور بكامله لم يسر في مسار خطي ذي وجهة واضحة مدعمة بالتنويعات على الموضوع الذي كثيرًا ما كان محلًّا للنقاش، ألا وهو موضوع تقدم الحقائق الثقافية نحو الشيء القابل للتصديق والمستنير، وإنما سار مثلما يسير كل ما هو تاريخي، جامعًا ما بين التناقضات والقفزات: كون هوكمان حضر إلينا أولًا عن طريق التجوال الروحي، ثم بعد ذلك عن طريق ارتياد الفضاء.. وكون أن كائن المستنقع كان أولًا إنسانًا محملًا باللعنات ثم تحول إلى نبات منبثق عن عملية تقنية، لا يعني، أن لامعقوليات حكايات الأبطال الخارقين قد أصبحت محسوبة أو أكثر نضجًا أو أقرب للواقع. ذلك أن الاتجاه العكسي كثيرًا ما ظهر في عملية تطور هذا الجنس الأدبي؛ سوبرمان مثلا كان في البداية يستطيع أن يقفز أعلى قليلًا من سائر البشر العاديين، لكنه لم يكن يستطيع الطيران، ناهيك عن التحليق، كما أن سبايدر مان قُدّم في البداية بشكل طبيعي بوصفه شابًّا له توجهات دنيوية واضحة "التصوير الصحفي، العلوم الطبيعية" وقد وقع في غرام حمراء الشعر، والتي كانت بدورها بشرية محبة للحياة وممتلئة بالشغف، وكان يمكن لسبايدرمان أن يتزوجها بطريقة برجوازية تقليدية، وهي سعادة لم تدم طويلًا؛ لأن مَن الذي سرق منه هذه الحياة العملية، البرجوازية، الدنيوية الواقعية في القصة التي تمزق نياط القلوب التي كتبها "جيه مايكل شترازينسكي" بعنوان "يوم آخر" عام 2007 ووضع رسومها الفنان جو كويسادا؟ - إنه ميفيستو، أي أنه شيطان مختلف تمامًا عن الشيطان الأرضي والذي سبق وأغضب الدكتور فاوست.

For more than 50 years John Clute has been reviewing science fiction and fantasy. Look at the Evidence is a collection of reviews from a wide variety of sources - including Interzone, the New York Review of Science Fiction, and Science Fiction Weekly - about the most significant literatures of the twenty-first century: science fiction, fantasy and horror: the literatures Clute argues should be recognized as the central modes of fantastika in our times. It covers the period between 1987 and 1992.
