In The Menace from Farside, Ian McDonald returns to his elegantly wound solar system of the twenty-second century, full of political intrigue and complicated families. Remember: Lady Luna knows a thousand ways to kill you, but family is what you know. Family is what works. Cariad Corcoran has a new sister who is everything she is not: tall, beautiful, confident. They're unlikely allies and even unlikelier sisters, but they're determined to find the moon's first footprint, even if the lunar frontier is doing its best to kill them before they get there. Praise for Ian McDonald's Luna series “McDonald's never written a bad novel, but Luna: New Moon is a great one.”—Cory Doctorow "With an action narrative driving this political commentary, Luna is actually a fantastically fun read as well as an important one. "—Los Angeles Review of Books At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Kerry D. Soper reminds us of The Far Side's groundbreaking qualities and cultural significance in Gary Larson and "The Far Side." In the 1980s, Gary Larson (b. 1950) shook up a staid comics page by introducing a set of aesthetic devices, comedic tones, and philosophical frames that challenged and delighted many readers, even while upsetting and confusing others. His irreverent, single panels served as an alternative reality to the tame comedy of the family-friendly newspaper comics page, as well as the pervasive, button-down consumerism and conformity of the Reagan era. In this first full study of Larson's art, Soper follows the arc of the cartoonist's life and career, describing the aesthetic and comedic qualities of his work, probing the business side of his success, and exploring how The Far Side brand as a whole--with its iconic characters and accompanying set of comedic and philosophical frames--connected with its core readers. In effect, Larson reinvented his medium by creatively working within, pushing against, and often breaking past institutional, aesthetic, comedic, and philosophical parameters. Due to the comic's great success, it opened the door for additional alternative voices in comics and other popular mediums. With its intentionally awkward, minimalistic lines and its morbid humor, The Far Side expanded Americans' comedic palette and inspired up-and-coming cartoonists, comedians, and filmmakers. Soper re-creates the cultural climate and media landscape in which The Far Side first appeared and thrived, then assesses how it impacted worldviews and shaped the comedic sensibilities of a generation of cartoonists, comedy writers, and everyday fans.

On completion of her training as an agent of the interstellar federation's Anthropological Service, Elana is sent to a world whose people may soon destroy their civilization. Since not enough is understood about the situation to justify any interference with their evolution, the Service has no power to act; its agents must go as helpless observers, posing as natives, in the hope of gaining knowledge that may help to save other worlds. This passive role proves intolerable to the young, inexperienced agent assigned to the same city as Elana, a city under totalitarian rule. After falling in love with a local girl who has become Elana's closest friend, he identifies too completely with the natives and unwittingly endangers the entire world by a well-meant but ill-advised attempt to intervene. Forced to assume responsibility for undoing the damage, Elana finds that only she—at great cost—can prevent an immediate war of annihilation. Although this novel has the same heroine as the author's Newbery Honor book Enchantress from the Stars, it is not a sequel but a completely separate—and very different—story not intended for readers below high school age, which is also enjoyed by adults. The two books are in no way dependent on each other and can be read in either order.

The decades-long love story of a NASA commander and the leader of the Astronaut Wives Club Far Side of the Moon is the untold, fully authorized story of the lives of Frank and Susan Borman. One was a famous astronaut—an instrumental part of the Apollo space program—but the other was just as much a warrior. This real-life love story is far from a fairy tale. Life as a military wife was beyond demanding, but Susan always rose to the occasion. When Frank joined NASA and was selected to command the first mission to orbit the moon, that meant putting on a brave face for the world as her husband risked his life for the space race. The pressure and anxiety were overwhelming, and eventually Susan's well-hidden depression and alcoholism finally came to light. Frank had to come to terms with how his "mission above all else" mentality contributed to his wife's suffering. As Susan healed, she was able to begin helping others who suffered in silence from mental illness and addiction. Discover how Frank and Susan's love and commitment to each other is still overcoming life's challenges, even beyond their years as an Apollo commander and the founder of the Astronaut Wives Club.

“My name is Peter Grant. I didn’t start out to save the world, it just sort of happened. I only wanted to win back the love of the woman who broke up with me. She was chosen to work on this anthropological expedition to Bali; an excellent place to rekindle the magic of romance. I more or less invited myself along. That wasn’t the kind of magic I found. While Gayle, my ex-, was working on her tan beside a Balinese lagoon; I was chasing down headhunters in the jungles of Irian Jaya. She made the cocktail party circuit. I buried the last King of the Torajan. And while the lovely Ms. O’Conner got engaged to the Major Domo Demon of the Underworld, I became the sorcerer’s apprentice. So you tell me, how’s a guy suppose to win a woman’s heart if he can’t spend any quality time with her? I’m a child of my times, an amalgamation of nature and nurture. I did what any red-blooded American male my age has learned to do; I battled the evil lord of the universe to stop his union with the woman I love and saved all of mankind in the process. You would think that would count for something, wouldn’t you?” Man has always known the gods, the demons. They are as real as the moon and stars. From his first taste of the apple, man recognized good and evil and honored and feared the gods they represent. But someday we must ask how much of this is real and how much is just man’s invention. For Peter Grant the answer means everything.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On December 28, 1972, Eastern Airlines flight 401 was on its final approach into Miami International after midnight. The airplane had left New York on time, and it had been a normal, uneventful flight right up until the pilot attempted to lower the landing gear. An indicator light in the cockpit that confirmed the landing gear was down and locked didn’t come on, and the pilot and crew had to figure out if it was a burnt-out light bulb or something more serious. #2 When she was 13, Susan Bugbee’s life was torn apart when her father, an orthopedic surgeon, lost a lung to tuberculosis. They had to move to the desert for his respiratory health. Her father allowed her to roam around while he was working, and she always seemed drawn to the building where the artisans were creating the jewelry and art that they sold to tourists. #3 The person Susan became in spite of her horrible tragedy was extraordinary. In 1945, she would meet the one person who would not only change her life in a big way, but who would never leave her. #4 Frank Borman was born in 1928, at a time when the Great Depression was ravaging the country. His parents, who were both teachers, moved to Arizona to find work. His father, Edwin, was able to lease a Mobil service station.
