Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he is most remembered for his vast collection of science fiction memorabilia; his influential magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland; and his frequent sci-fi convention appearances, Forrest J Ackerman (1916-2008) also left a sizeable body of work in print. An introductory biographical section traces Ackerman's early enthusiasm for pulp magazines and film productions of a fantastic nature, his rise to prominence in "fandom," his acquisition of memorabilia, his work as a literary agent, the founding of his landmark magazine in 1958, and his friendship with a number of performers and personnel from genre films. The extensive bibliography includes listings of books, published letters, articles, fiction, verse, speeches, screenplays, comics, discography, liner notes, and periodicals edited and published by Ackerman. A thorough filmography, a selected listing of nationally televised appearances, and rare photographs of Ackerman throughout his lifetime complete this definitive catalog of one of science fiction's most interesting personalities.

Book excerpt: Hugo and Locus Award Finalist An Economist Best Book of the Year A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Best Book of 2018 “An amazing and engrossing history...Insightful, entertaining, and compulsively readable.” — George R. R. Martin Astounding is the landmark account of the extraordinary partnership between four controversial writers—John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and L. Ron Hubbard—who set off a revolution in science fiction and forever changed our world. This remarkable cultural narrative centers on the figure of John W. Campbell, Jr., whom Asimov called “the most powerful force in science fiction ever.” Campbell, who has never been the subject of a biography until now, was both a visionary author—he wrote the story that was later filmed as The Thing—and the editor of the groundbreaking magazine best known as Astounding Science Fiction, in which he discovered countless legendary writers and published classic works ranging from the I, Robot series to Dune. Over a period of more than thirty years, from the rise of the pulps to the debut of Star Trek, he dominated the genre, and his three closest collaborators reached unimaginable heights. Asimov became the most prolific author in American history; Heinlein emerged as the leading science fiction writer of his generation with the novels Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land; and Hubbard achieved lasting fame—and infamy—as the founder of the Church of Scientology. Drawing on unexplored archives, thousands of unpublished letters, and dozens of interviews, Alec Nevala-Lee offers a riveting portrait of this circle of authors, their work, and their tumultuous private lives. With unprecedented scope, drama, and detail, Astounding describes how fan culture was born in the depths of the Great Depression; follows these four friends and rivals through World War II and the dawn of the atomic era; and honors such exceptional women as Doña Campbell and Leslyn Heinlein, whose pivotal roles in the history of the genre have gone largely unacknowledged. For the first time, it reveals the startling extent of Campbell’s influence on the ideas that evolved into Scientology, which prompted Asimov to observe: “I knew Campbell and I knew Hubbard, and no movement can have two Messiahs.” It looks unsparingly at the tragic final act that estranged the others from Campbell, bringing the golden age of science fiction to a close, and it illuminates how their complicated legacy continues to shape the imaginations of millions and our vision of the future itself. "Enthralling…A clarion call to enlarge American literary history.” — Washington Post “Engrossing, well-researched… This sure-footed history addresses important issues, such as the lack of racial diversity and gender parity for much of the genre’s history.” — Wall Street Journal “A gift to science fiction fans everywhere.” — Sylvia Nasar, New York Times bestselling author of A Beautiful Mind

Book excerpt: Arthur C. Clarke acquired his first science fiction magazine - a copy of Astounding Stories - in 1930, when he was 13. Immediately he became an avid reader and collector: and, soon enough, a would-be-writer. The rest is history. Now, in Astounding Days, he looks back over those impressed by him, discussing their scientific howlers, and their remarkable proportion of predictive bulls-eyes - and writing of his early life and career. Written with relaxed good humour, Astounding Days is full of fascinating comment and anecdote.

Book excerpt: This work Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 by Sivkishen Ji emanated from Sundara Kanda that forms the heart of Valmiki's Ramayana. Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 began with the narration of Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvati who aptly heard the entire story of Rama and his life in detail. This work ended with her blessings, "Let the recital of Sundarakanda be a priceless gem to all to prosper and overcome all problems faced in daily life with the same auspicious benefit of chanting 1000 times Gayatri Mantra." The author lucidly detailed on the adventures of Hanuman and his selflessness, strength, and devotion to Rama emphasized in the text. Hanuman fondly called "Sundara" by his mother Anjani and Sage Valmiki chose this name over others as the Sundara Kanda is about Hanuman's journey to Lanka. After learning about Sita, Hanuman assumed a gargantuan form and made a colossal leap across the sea to Lanka. This showed the power of the name 'Rama.' Hanuman repeated this name and talked about the qualities of great men. It was sweet for this reason and a pleasant task indeed! This work captured the determination of Hanuman to succeed, in spite of the hurdles that kept cropping up in his path to Lanka. He had to keep his goal in mind and yet, at the same time, he had to think quickly to overcome the hurdles. Hanuman wanted to unite Rama and went in search of Sita. That is why even today Hanuman worshipped The author revealed the greatness of Hanuman, who meticulously searched Lanka for Sita. He located Sita in Ashoka grove, where she wooed and threatened by Ravana and his rakshasis to marry Ravana. Hanuman proved himself an excellent emissary of Rama when he met Sita. He narrated the events of the Bala Kanda and when he came to meet Rama, after having met Sita, Hanuman said that Rama and Sita would be crowned ruling monarchs and have a happy life together. He reassured Sita, giving Rama's signet ring as a sign of good faith. He offered to carry Sita back to Rama; she refused and said that it is not the dharma, stating that Ramayana will not have significance if Hanuman carries her to Rama - "When Rama is not there Ravana carried Sita forcibly and when Ravana was not there, Hanuman carried Sita back to Rama." She says that Rama himself must come and avenge the insult of her abduction. Ravana wanted Sita and wanted to get rid of Rama. Surpanaka wanted Rama and wanted to get rid of Sita. That was why their lives ended in misery. The characters Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman, and Ravana are all fundamental to the cultural consciousness of the South Asian nations of India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the South-East Asian countries of Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 demonstrates the importance of values such as loving and respecting our family, keeping our promises, protecting the weak and so on. This divine work is not just a story of Ramayana, but also an educational medium used by ancient sages to promote the importance of doing dharma (one's duty) in relationships. By using this as a medium, we can teach our children many life-skills, ethics, and principles of life that are very similar; like goodwill, kindness, sincerity, honesty, and integrity, etc. Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 worth studying, reading, and sharing simply because the stories are a magnificent window to the views, philosophies, and beliefs of the past, of past cultures, traditions, and religions with57 licensed color illustrations under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License.

Download or read book H. Beam Piper written by John F. Carr and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. Beam Piper is one of science fiction’s most enigmatic writers. In 1946 Piper appeared seemingly from out of nowhere, already at the top of his form. He published a number of memorable short stories in the premier science fiction magazine of the time, Astounding Science Fiction, under legendary editor John W. Campbell. Piper quickly became friends with many of the top writers of the day, including Lester Del Rey, Fletcher Pratt, Robert Heinlein and L. Sprague de Camp. Piper also successfully made the turn from promising short story writer to major novelist, authoring Four-Day Planet, Cosmic Computer, Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen and Little Fuzzy, which was nominated for a Hugo award. Even those who counted Piper among their friends knew very little about the man or his life as a railroad yard bull in Altoona, Pennsylvania. This biography illuminates H. Beam Piper, both the writer and the man, and answers lingering questions about his death. Appendices include a number of Piper’s personal papers, a complete bibliography of Piper’s works, and an essay on Piper’s Terro-Human Future History series.
