Norby and the Invaders Jeff Wells and his robot, Norby, must rescue the Grand Dragon of Jamya from strange, blimplike aliens known as the Hleno. Determined to protect the environment from the overuse of technology, the Hleno take Norby and Jeff prisoner, too. Encased in an impenetrable plastic bubble, Norby is helpless. And without Norby, Jeff is lost in outer space. Norby and the Queen’s Necklace Sent to 1785, France, Jeff and Norby get mixed up with an extravagant necklace intended for Marie Antoinette—and accidentally alter events that led to the French Revolution. Now they must shuttle back and forth through time and space to set world history straight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are sex and jewelry, particularly rings, so often connected? Why do rings continually appear in stories about marriage and adultery, love and betrayal, loss and recovery, identity and masquerade? What is the mythology that makes finger rings symbols of true (or, as the case may be, untrue) love? The cross-cultural distribution of the mythology of sexual rings is impressive--from ancient India and Greece through the Arab world to Shakespeare, Marie Antoinette, Wagner, nineteenth-century novels, Hollywood, and the De Beers advertising campaign that gave us the expression, "A Diamond is Forever." Each chapter of The Ring of Truth, like a charm on a charm bracelet, considers a different constellation of stories: stories about rings lost and found in fish; forgetful husbands and clever wives; treacherous royal necklaces; fake jewelry and real women; modern women's revolt against the hegemony of jewelry; and the clash between common sense and conventional narratives about rings. Herein lie signet rings, betrothal rings, and magic rings of invisibility or memory. The stories are linked by a common set of meanings, such as love symbolized by the circular and unbroken shape of the ring: infinite, constant, eternal--a meaning that the stories often prove tragically false. While most of the rings in the stories originally belonged to men, or were given to women by men, Wendy Doniger shows that it is the women who are important in these stories, as they are the ones who put the jewelry to work in the plots.

Book excerpt: This eighth volume of the complete children’s sci-fi series features a history-obsessed admiral and trouble at a dragon’s birthday party. Norby and Yobo’s Great Adventure The illustrious Adm. Boris Yobo wants to travel through time to discover the origins of a treasured family heirloom. And since Norby is the only way to time travel, he and Jeff become Admiral Yobo’s companions on a supposedly innocent weekend trip that turns into a dangerous adventure. Norby and the Oldest Dragon Jeff Wells is feeling decidedly out of sorts, and not even the prospect of the Grand Dragon’s birthday party on the planet Jamyn can cheer him up. In fact, that’s part of the problem. Jeff had wanted to stay at the Space Academy for the weekend. Instead, his sometimes-bossy personal robot, Norby, is making him pack for what he is sure will be an adventure-free trip. Boy, does he turn out to be wrong!

Norby’s special abilities suddenly come in handy when a villain named Ing targets Jeff’s older brother in his quest to conquer the Solar System. When Ing takes over Manhattan Island, renaming it “the Kingdom of Ing,” Norby and Jeff put studying aside to teach Ing a lesson!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much literature for children appears in the form of series, in which familiar characters appear in book after book. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, authors began to write science fiction series for children. These early series generally had plots that revolved around inventions developed by the protagonist. But it was the development and use of rocket and atomic science during World War II that paved the way for interesting and exciting new themes, conflicts, and plots. While much has been written about the early juvenile science fiction series, particularly the Tom Swift books, comparatively little has been written about children's science fiction series published since 1945. This book provides a broad overview of this previously neglected topic. The volume offers a critical look at the history, themes, characters, settings, and construction of post-1945 juvenile science fiction series, including the A.I. Gang, the Animorphs, Commander Toad, Danny Dunn, Dragonfall Five, the Magic School Bus, and Space Cat. The book begins with an introductory history of juvenile science fiction since 1945, with chapters then devoted to particular topics. Some of these topics include the role of aliens and animals, attitudes toward humor, the absence and presence of science, and the characterization of women. A special feature is an appendix listing the various series. In addition, the volume provides extensive bibliographical information.

Book excerpt: Arguably the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, Isaac Asimov also possessed one of the most brilliant and original minds of our time. His accessible style and far-reaching interests in subjects ranging from science to humor to history earned him the nickname “the Great Explainer.” I. Asimov is his personal story—vivid, open, and honest—as only Asimov himself could tell it. Here is the story of the paradoxical genius who wrote of travel to the stars yet refused to fly in airplanes; who imagined alien universes and vast galactic civilizations while staying home to write; who compulsively authored more than 470 books yet still found the time to share his ideas with some of the great minds of our century. Here are his wide-ranging thoughts and sharp-eyed observations on everything from religion to politics, love and divorce, friendship and Hollywood, fame and mortality. Here, too, is a riveting behind-the-scenes look at the varied personalities—Campbell, Ellison, Heinlein, Clarke, del Rey, Silverberg, and others—who along with Asimov helped shape science fiction. As unique and irrepressible as the man himself, I. Asimov is the candid memoir of an incomparable talent who entertained readers for nearly half a century and whose work will surely endure into the future he so vividly envisioned.
