Earth Has An Intruder: Unlike anything earthlings would have expected. It came from the deep reaches of the cosmos. NEXT Proto: A small earth space vessel is sent to explore a planet with only botanical life forms. One of the three astronauts has an unusual experience in metamorphosis. NEXT Space Academy: A suburban family meets two aliens who wish to take the children to an Academy in the cosmos for which the parents permission is required. Welcome to stories from the cosmos where there are threats to mankind but of a natural type just the passing of an unusual moon-like structure. There is some order in the great depth of space where humans may just have grown from the seed of a Mother of Creation Tree. Humans have spent a fortune seeking sentient forms of life. It is possible that alien beings are already here. Perhaps they have been educating earthlings and re releasing them into society.

This tale involves human imagination that describes the massive progress of mankind throughout his short primate evolution. If the dates of the astro physicists are to be believed the findings of antiquity do not tangibly reveal the developed skills necessary for the innovative advancements attributed to our primitive past. Ancient monoliths and structures have inherent measurements that man at that stage of evolving did not have the education or ability to calculate the metrics of Earth in this solar system. Genetic insertion assisted in hastening the evolution of this primate species of nomads wandering the Earth in search of food. Who interfered? Why? Were these ancient artifacts left for a future generation to interpret and report to this planet of story creators and story tellers? An old couple tries to work out the puzzle unknowing that mankind’s future was being discussed out in the solar sytem.

The history of Man after evolving from the trees and leading a social life, is filled with conjecture of what happens after death. Towards this end many civilizations throughout Man’s History have constructed edifices to try and return to this pre-world or to travel to a more fitting world of paradise. In this story, a modern twist plays out in sending the ashes and piece of the departed tissue into deep space. These are the remains of a science fiction writer and his spouse of 60 plus years. On a planet, on the other side of the galaxy, the capsule with their contents are found by a highly evolved alien society. Bringing their best scientists together the tissues are used to bring the whole being back. He is returned to find his naked self in a tissue culture tank. The story uses all the current stages of laboratory stem cell research and tissue culture growth in returning a being from a single cell. Why did the deceased author wish to participate in this celestial experiment and why did he need his spouse with him? Was it his feeling that there were other more developed life forms in the cosmos? He intuitively knew that in one human life time he would never be able to find such a cosmic being, he gave himself the time of eternity?

The planets and their effect on the human race are at the heart of this stellar collection of provocative science fiction short stories, Adventures in the Cosmos by Darryl L. Gopaul. A second menacing moon appears in one story, which awakens powerful new forces on Earth. In another story, humanoids venture onto Earth and start to behave very differently than they usually do, right up until the moment they are called back to their home planet. In other stories, humans face a new biological phenomenon or gain new abilities, like telepathy. Hinting that strange, powerful forces are quietly guiding humans on Earth, Gopaul probes the possibilities that exist in the deepest pockets of outer space and right here on our home planet. Inspiring, stunning, and sometimes shocking, Adventures in the Cosmos shows that while the universe is our new frontier, it will take not just bravado but understanding to conquer or control it. A thinking person's collection of sci fi, Adventures in the Cosmos is both beautifully written and bolstered by the expertise of Gopaul, who is a microbiologist. In story after story, he prods you to see the earth, the planets, and yourself in new and original ways.

This book offers a fresh contextual reading of Paradise Lost that suggests that a recovery of the vital intellectual ferment of the new science, magic, and alchemy of the seventeenth century reveals new and unexpected aspects of Milton's cosmos and chaos, and the characters of the angels and Adam and Eve. After examining the contextual references to cabalism, hermeticism, and science in the invocations and in the presentation of chaos and Night, the book focuses on the central stage of the epic action, Milton's unique cosmos, at once finite and infinite, with its re-orientation of compass points. While Milton relies on the new astronomy, optics and mechanics in configuring his cosmos, he draws upon alchemy to suggest that the imagined prelapsarian cosmos is the crucible within which vital re-orientations of authority could have taken place.

Ecocriticism in relation to the Southeast Asian region is relatively new. So far, John Charles Ryan’s Ecocriticism in Southeast Asia is the first book of its kind to focus on the region and its literature to give an ecocritical analysis: that volume compiles analyses of the eco-literatures from most of the Southeast Asian region, providing a broad insight into the ecological concerns of the region as depicted in its literatures and other cultural texts. This edited volume furthers the study of Southeast Asian ecocriticism, focusing specifically on prominent myths and histories and the myriad ways in which they connect to the social fabric of the region. Our book is an original contribution to the expanding field of ecocriticism, as it highlights the mytho-historical basis of many of the region’s literatures and their relationship to the environment. The varied articles in this volume together explore the idea of nature and its relationship with humans. The always problematic questions that surround such explorations, such as “why do we regard nature as ‘external’?” or “how is humankind a continuum with nature?”, emerge throughout the volume either overtly or implicitly. As Pepper (1993) points out, what Karl Marx referenced as ‘first’ or ‘external’ nature gave rise to humankind. But humanity “worked on this ‘first’ nature to produce a ‘second’ nature: the material creations of society plus its institutions, ideas and values.” (Pepper, 108). Thus, our volume constantly negotiates this field of ideas and belief systems, in diverse ways and in various cultures, attempting to relate them to the current ecological predicaments of ASEAN. It will likely prove an invaluable resource for scholars and students of ecocriticism and, more broadly, of Southeast Asian cultures and literatures.

First published in 1990, this work offers an analysis of the phenomenon of encyclopaedism in literature. Hilary Clark develops the theory of an encyclopaedic form in the interests of making clear distinctions between the realist narrative form and that of the encyclopaedic-parodic or fictional encyclopaedia. She makes clear the special links that non-realist, parodic fictions have with the forms of essay, Menippean satire and epic, and indeed with the encyclopaedia itself. The study pays particular attention to the way in which literary encyclopaedism has flourished in the twentieth century, with special reference to the works of James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Philippe Sollers.

In this beautifully conceived book, Ayesha Ramachandran reconstructs the imaginative struggles of early modern artists, philosophers, and writers to make sense of something that we take for granted: the world, imagined as a whole. Once a new, exciting, and frightening concept, “the world” was transformed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. But how could one envision something that no one had ever seen in its totality? The Worldmakers moves beyond histories of globalization to explore how “the world” itself—variously understood as an object of inquiry, a comprehensive category, and a system of order—was self-consciously shaped by human agents. Gathering an international cast of characters, from Dutch cartographers and French philosophers to Portuguese and English poets, Ramachandran describes a history of firsts: the first world atlas, the first global epic, the first modern attempt to develop a systematic natural philosophy—all part of an effort by early modern thinkers to capture “the world” on the page.
