Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biggest mountain on any planet is the prize in this epic adventure that spans continents and worlds. Justin Hardy is a normal, small town guy trying to build a career as a photographer. Mike Simpson is a world class mountaineer looking for adventure, romance, and his next big climb. When they join forces and set their sights on Mars' highest mountain, Olympus Mons, they get a lot more adventure than they bargain for. Mountain disasters, brawls in orbit, radiation storms, and alien geology challenge the team of four as they race to reach their summit ahead of a team of Russians set on bagging the first ascent before them. But surprises await beneath the mountain that make a simple first ascent, even the biggest in history, seem secondary. Science fiction and Mountain tale merge in this grand adventure that drinks, fights and climbs it's way across three worlds.

Book excerpt: The year is 2438. Humanity has migrated to the stars in discrete waves, driven by evolving technologies and new ways of being human. The far-flung Arc Systems struggle under the yoke of their newest rulers—Exarchs from Sol, whose monopoly on faster-than-light communication gives them absolute control of a growing interstellar empire. But humans weren’t the first to conquer the stars, and the discovery of an alien artifact promising transport between systems threatens to undermine the Exarchs’ power. Revolutionary leader Melilah Awad seeks an alliance to unlock Geodesica’s secrets with VOIDship pilot Palmer Eogan, a lover she lost to the Dark more than two centuries earlier. What they find could be more dangerous than anyone--human or more than human--could imagine….

Download or read book Kim Stanley Robinson written by Robert Markley and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning epics like the Mars Trilogy and groundbreaking alternative histories like The Days of Rice and Salt have brought Kim Stanley Robinson to the forefront of contemporary science fiction. Mixing subject matter from a dizzying number of fields with his own complex ecological and philosophical concerns, Robinson explores how humanity might pursue utopian social action as a strategy for its own survival. Robert Markley examines the works of an author engaged with the fundamental question of how we—as individuals, as a civilization, and as a species—might go forward. By building stories on huge time scales, Robinson lays out the scientific and human processes that fuel humanity's struggle toward a more just and environmentally stable world or system of worlds. His works invite readers to contemplate how to achieve, and live in, these numerous possible futures. They also challenge us to see that SF's literary, cultural, and philosophical significance have made it the preeminent literary genre for examining where we stand today in human and planetary history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Moon or Mars, where even the oxygen you breathe is made in a manufacturing process controlled by someone else, can you be free? In Interplanetary Liberty: Building Free Societies in the Cosmos, Charles S. Cockell argues that beyond Earth, space is especially tyranny-prone. Yet rather than consign humanity to a dim future of extraterrestrial despotisms, he suggests that the construction of free societies is possible using uniquely blended and reformulated classical liberal ideas for the space frontier. Considering politics, science, engineering, art, education, prisons, and other facets of society, this book lays out the general ethos and culture around which settlements might be constructed to secure the establishment and flourishing of freedom in the cosmos.

Download or read book Outer Cryo Worlds written by Igor Sholoiko and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2021-08-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outer Cryo Worlds is a book about the fascinating world of celestial bodies with cryo, or freezing conditions. For example, with average temperatures about 200 degrees colder than Earth’s, Saturn’s moon Titan is a cryo world, one with astoundingly different sights, textures and physical forces. With such stark differences to the world, we are accustomed to, cryo worlds create a whole new universe for our imaginations, with new sightseeing adventures, sport activity potential and, who knows, maybe even extraterrestrial life. The book familiarises the reader with the concept of outer cryo worlds and their mesmerising nature. With amusing anecdotes about cryogenics and celestial bodies, it helps spark imagination and curiosity to really bring these worlds to life. Based on real facts that we know about Outer Cryo Worlds, the book takes the reader on a vivid imaginary journey of flying with tech-wings in Titan’s atmosphere or swimming in its liquid methane lakes in futuristic suits. It vividly paints the picture of what it's like to open a bottle of champagne on conquering Olympus Mons on Mars. The book also shares the author’s long-standing fascination with effects low temperatures have on life. It starts with a simple question: what happens to living organisms at low temperatures. Based on what we know about life in the deep waters of Earth, the author speculates what life would look like if it was sparked in oceans that might exist under the ice crusts of Jovian planets moons, inviting the readers on an imaginary mission of replacing tracking buoys attached to a gigantic snailfish-like creature in the abyss of Europa Ocean.

Download or read book Planetary Surface Processes written by H. Jay Melosh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planetary Surface Processes is the first advanced textbook to cover the full range of geologic processes that shape the surfaces of planetary-scale bodies. Using a modern, quantitative approach, this book reconsiders geologic processes outside the traditional terrestrial context. It highlights processes that are contingent upon Earth's unique circumstances and processes that are universal. For example, it shows explicitly that equations predicting the velocity of a river are dependent on gravity: traditional geomorphology textbooks fail to take this into account. This textbook is a one-stop source of information on planetary surface processes, providing readers with the necessary background to interpret new data from NASA, ESA and other space missions. Based on a course taught by the author at the University of Arizona for 25 years, it is aimed at advanced students, and is also an invaluable resource for researchers, professional planetary scientists and space-mission engineers.

Download or read book Dying Planet written by Robert Markley and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-08 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century, Mars has been at the center of debates about humanity’s place in the cosmos. Focusing on perceptions of the red planet in scientific works and science fiction, Dying Planet analyzes the ways Mars has served as a screen onto which humankind has projected both its hopes for the future and its fears of ecological devastation on Earth. Robert Markley draws on planetary astronomy, the history and cultural study of science, science fiction, literary and cultural criticism, ecology, and astrobiology to offer a cross-disciplinary investigation of the cultural and scientific dynamics that have kept Mars on front pages since the 1800s. Markley interweaves chapters on science and science fiction, enabling him to illuminate each arena and to explore the ways their concerns overlap and influence one another. He tracks all the major scientific developments, from observations through primitive telescopes in the seventeenth century to data returned by the rovers that landed on Mars in 2004. Markley describes how major science fiction writers—H. G. Wells, Kim Stanley Robinson, Philip K. Dick, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and Judith Merril—responded to new theories and new controversies. He also considers representations of Mars in film, on the radio, and in the popular press. In its comprehensive study of both science and science fiction, Dying Planet reveals how changing conceptions of Mars have had crucial consequences for understanding ecology on Earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age 16 Chris Kopczynski carved the words “Everest/Eiger” into the handle of his ice axe, marking his goal to climb the two mountains known as the "highest and the hardest." He accomplished that goal by the age of 33, becoming the ninth American to summit Everest and the first American to summit both the North Face of the Eiger and Mt. Everest. With the climbing addiction in his blood, he set new goals and became the twelfth in the world to climb the highest peaks on seven continents. Chris’ lifelong odyssey to the top of the world includes the climbs, attempts and summits of every continent’s highest, hardest, and most significant mountains. He gives readers stories of perseverance and survival as he achieved his dreams on Robson in the Canadian Rockies, Chimney Rock in Idaho, the Pamirs and Elbrus in the USSR, Denali in Alaska, Makalu in Nepal, Antarctica’s Vinson, Chile’s Aconcagua, Kosciuszko in Australia, and Africa’s Kilimanjaro.

Book excerpt: The third book in the Martian Mountaineers trilogy, Watchman's World follows the Martian Mountaineer's latest adventures as they struggle to build a new society on Mars only to be swept up in an alien rebellion going on at the galactic core. What can four human rock climbers do in the face of a revolution sweeping across a hundred worlds? Fight to survive above all else, then try to find their way back home to Mars. This is the biggest story yet for the Mountaineers, one that begins on the coast of Maine, then deep beneath the Baltic Sea, then on to Mars, Jupiter, and the center of the galaxy. Allies come in many shapes when you plot to overthrow an empire of hundreds of worlds peopled with dozens of alien species. Justin, Mike, Lar, and Olaf are caught in the middle of the biggest event in galactic history and become the most wanted men in a star spanning empire. The same rowdy adventurers who drank and fought their way through "Ascent of Olympus Mons' and "Descent Into Valles Marineris" are back for another round. Like the first two books in the trilogy "Watchman's World isn't uplifting or inspirational, in fact you may be a worse person for having read them, but they are a whole lot of fun and one wild ride from start to finish.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel • Discover the novel that launched one of science fiction’s most beloved, acclaimed, and awarded trilogies: Kim Stanley Robinson’s masterly near-future chronicle of interplanetary colonization. “A staggering book . . . the best novel on the colonization of Mars that has ever been written.”—Arthur C. Clarke For centuries, the barren, desolate landscape of the red planet has beckoned to humankind. Now a group of one hundred colonists begins a mission whose ultimate goal is to transform Mars into a more Earthlike planet. They will place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect light onto its surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth and melt the ice. And massive tunnels drilled into the mantle will create stupendous vents of hot gases. But despite these ambitious goals, there are some who would fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed.
