Book Synopsis A Science Fantasia by : Francis A. Andrew
Download or read book A Science Fantasia written by Francis A. Andrew and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, Francis A. Andrew, was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in the United Kingdom. Although not a scientist by training or profession, he has always maintained an interest in science and technology throughout his life. He was greatly influenced by the works of the late Sir Fred Hoyle which he started reading at a very young age. Hoyle taught him to think in a critical and logical fashion. Hoyles works of fiction have built into them the possibility of their becoming science fact at some future date. It is with this concept in mind that Francis Andrew has written A Science Fantasia. While we forge ahead ever onwards and upwards with our scientific and technological achievements, our moral state seems not only to be static but in actual regress. Andrew believes that unless mankind faces up to its moral obligations and places its scientific research within a viable ethical framework, the technology upon which our lives so much depend could well prove to be the rope by which the human species collectively hangs itself. Francis Andrew currently works at the College of Applied Sciences in Nizwa, Oman where he teaches English.

Book Synopsis Strange Highways: Reading Science Fantasy, 1950-1967 by : John Boston
Download or read book Strange Highways: Reading Science Fantasy, 1950-1967 written by John Boston and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science Fantasy blends science fiction AND fantasy, so it tends to be bolder and more highly colored than pure science fiction. In the middle of the last century, the British magazine SCIENCE FANTASY created its own distinctive strains of fantasy narrative, most famously by such writers as Brian W. Aldiss, J. G. Ballard, John Brunner, Michael Moorcock, and Thomas Burnett Swann, among others. This book looks closely at the whole trajectory of that lost magazine, from its birth in 1950 through 1967, when it was briefly called (SF) Impulse. John Boston provides a brilliantly insightful and often every funny account of the rise, evolution, and final fall of SCIENCE FANTASY, its writers, and its quirky editors. Boston is joined by writer and critic Damien Broderick, adding his own waspish and nostalgic comments. This volume, the first of three dealing with the history and development of the major British SF magazines, is a compelling night journey into the past, where the future took a turn down paths not often explored. It's a trip not to be missed.

Book Synopsis Myth and the Making of Modernity by :
Download or read book Myth and the Making of Modernity written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this collection of essays on the literary use of myth in the early twentieth century and its literary and philosophical precedents from romanticism onwards draw on a range of disciplines, from anthropology, comparative literature, and literary criticism, to philosophy and religious studies. The underlying assumption is that modernist myth-making does not retreat from modernity, but projects a mode of being for the future which the past could serve to define. Modernist myth is not an attempted recovery of an archaic form of life so much as a sophisticated self-conscious equivalent. Far from seeking a return to an earlier romantic valorizing of myth, these essays show how the true interest of early twentieth-century myth-making lies in the consciousness, affirmative as well as tragic, of living in a human world which, in so far as it must embody value, can have no ultimate grounding. Although myth may initially appear to be the archaic counterterm to modernity, it is thus also the paradigm on which modernity has repeatedly reconstructed, or come to understand, its own life forms. The very term myth, by combining, in its modern usage, the rival meanings of a grounding narrative and a falsehood, encapsulates a central problem of modernity: how to live, given what we know.
