This book was released on 2024-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can such things be? Engelbert Esztherhazy, scion, of aristocracy in Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania (fourth largest empire in Europe [the Turks were fifth]), could not have cared less. He had served his country and his Emperor in war; he now led the leisured life of his class. But then events overtook him, caught him up, whirled him about; and when he found his feet again, he was a changed man. The servant of a visiting king was undoubtedly a shaman. What powers did he command? What other powers were secretly at work behind the familiar scenes of south-eastern Europe? But also steam, already powering factories, ships and trains -- what more could it do, portent to the changing world of the late nineteenth century? Road transport... or even powered flight? Think of the dread possibilities for warfare! But when the Autogóndola-Invention took to the skies over the territories that ambitious neighbors -- viz., Ruritania and Graustark -- wished to claim, was it really its steam engine that made it fly? Or did it depend on the unreckoned aid of sorcery? Between the old knowledge and the new, Eszterhazy was to spend his life, searching. Time and time again, the unexpected would visit him, often leaving the learned Doctor to end a notebook entry with "UNEXPLAINED." Here are tales of the most gripping such visitations, now brought together in one comprehensive volume. Several of these stories were collected as The Enquiries of Doctor Eszterhazy, a 1975 Warner Books paperbacks, now long unobtainable. These represent less than half of the present volume, which includes stories of his earlier career, published in Amazing Science Fiction Stories under the aegis of George Scithers. A foreword by Gene Wolfe and an afterword by the author complete The Adventures of Doctor Eszterhazy. *** "Or All The Seas with Oysters", one of Avram's stylish and witty stories, won the 1958 Hugo award and headed a collection of the same name; among other short story collections are What Strange Stars and Skies, Strange Seas and Shores, and The Redward Edward Papers. His novels range from the far future of Rogue Dragon and Mutiny in Space to the might-have-been Dark and Middle Ages -- comic in Peregrine: Primus and Peregrine: Secundus, haunting in The Phoenix and the Mirror and Vergil in Averno. From 1962 to 1964 he served as editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. New York City, Mexico, Belize and California have been his haunts; he has been a U.S. Marine in World War II and a sheepherder* in Israel. *Or shepherd, if you want it to sound romantic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaged, passionate, and consistently entertaining, this is a book for those who enjoyed Walton's previous collection of essays from Tor.com, the Locus Award-winning What Makes This Book So Great.The Hugo Awards, named after pioneer science fiction publisher Hugo Gernsback, and voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Society, have been given out since 1953. They are widely considered the most prestigious award in science fiction.Between 2010 and 2013, Jo Walton wrote a series of posts for Tor.com, surveying the Hugo finalists and winners from the award's inception up to the year 2000. Her contention was that each year's full set of finalists generally tells a meaningful story about the state of science fiction at that time.Walton's cheerfully opinionated and vastly well-informed posts provoked valuable conversation among the field's historians. Now these posts, lightly revised, have been gathered into this book, along with a small selection of the comments posted by SF luminaries such as Rich Horton, Gardner Dozois, and the late David G. Hartwell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death Valley lives up to its name when a murder draws Ellery Queen into the strange practices of a religious cult. It’s 1943, the war is raging, and sleuthing scribe Ellery Queen wants to do his bit. After a tortuous cross-country drive, he takes a job writing scripts for a Hollywood propaganda house—twelve hours a day of hack work that quickly turns his mind to jelly. After a few weeks, he is so worn down that he can type nothing but gibberish, and he decides to drive home. The trouble starts as soon as he reaches the desert. His ancient roadster breaks down on the edge of Death Valley. Wandering in search of help, he is saved by a man known as the Teacher, who takes him to an oasis called Quenan. Here, Queen finds a bizarre, reclusive cult that seems to have come straight out of the ancient past. A murder has been committed in the desert, and the Quenanites plan on delivering some Old Testament justice. Queen is just the detective they’ve been waiting for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of science fiction classics edited and introduced by the winner of fifteen Hugo awards for best editor, Gardner Dozois. From the introduction: Here is life on another world, in another place, another time. Here is what it is like to wear an alien skin. Here are new concepts, new vistas, magic. . . "Why read science fiction?" It's alive in a world of dead art, dead minds, dead institutions; it's a bright-eyed, irreverent little animal scurrying through a petrified landscape of old dead trees; it's unashamedly potent and prolific in a world that grows increasingly weary and sterile; it dares to raise its voice in boisterous joy, sorrow, and anger in a place full of sour silence and dead echoes. Contains these legendary tales: "The Oldest Soldier" by Fritz Leiber, "After the Myths Went Home," by Robert Silverberg, "The Stars Below," by Ursula K. Le Guin, "Straw," by Gene Wolfe, "On the Gem Planet," by Cordwainer Smith, "Beam Us Home" by James Tiptree, Jr.,"The Barbarian," by Joanna Russ, "Among the Hairy Earthmen," by R. A. Lafferty, "Man in the Jar," by Damon Knight, "Old Hundredth," by Brian W. Aldiss, and "The Signaller," by Keith Roberts. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). "A fine idea for an anthology _ 'adventures in otherness' is really what SF is all about, isn't it? _ and the stories . . . are a very neat mixture of themes and literary methods, and of course a bunch of very fine examples of first-class narrative prose . . .an artful and elegant group, intelligently chosen."¾Robert Silverberg

Download or read book Teaching and Learning Discrete Mathematics Worldwide: Curriculum and Research written by Eric W. Hart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses examples of discrete mathematics in school curricula, including in the areas of graph theory, recursion and discrete dynamical systems, combinatorics, logic, game theory, and the mathematics of fairness. In addition, it describes current discrete mathematics curriculum initiatives in several countries, and presents ongoing research, especially in the areas of combinatorial reasoning and the affective dimension of learning discrete mathematics. Discrete mathematics is the math of our time.' So declared the immediate past president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, John Dossey, in 1991. Nearly 30 years later that statement is still true, although the news has not yet fully reached school mathematics curricula. Nevertheless, much valuable work has been done, and continues to be done. This volume reports on some of that work. It provides a glimpse of the state of the art in learning and teaching discrete mathematics around the world, and it makes the case once again that discrete mathematics is indeed mathematics for our time, even more so today in our digital age, and it should be included in the core curricula of all countries for all students.

Book excerpt: Peregrine was the illigitimate son of the king of Sapodilla, which, as every schoolboy knows, was the last pagan kingdom in the world to resist Christianity. Cast out of Sapodilla as required by law when he reached his majority, Peregrine sallied forth into the Dark Ages with his page Dafty and the rather time-worn sorcerer Appledore to find his fortune. What he found instead was: dragons, whores, Huns, Roman legions, emperors, and a delightful collection of mysteries and adventures...
