Book Synopsis Wonder Stories (Classic Reprint) by : Francis Trevelyan Miller
Download or read book Wonder Stories (Classic Reprint) written by Francis Trevelyan Miller and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonder Stories These Wonder Stories are entirely original and novel in their form of narrative and reveal hitherto unfathomed depths in American character and genius. They tell how Americans have set out to conquer the hidden secrets of the universe; how they have reached up to the sun and moon and stars; how they have dug down deep into the bowels of the earth; how they have walked under the oceans and flown on the winds. They tell how Americans have created mighty structures with their muscles and brains; how they have performed almost superhuman services to mankind; and how their achievements have deservedly placed them in the category of modern miracle workers. It has been the purpose of Dr. Miller in writing this fascinating book to tell only entertaining stories about everyday things. Plain truths are told, and there has been no effort to make a complete record, for such would require not one but many volumes. The technicalities of the scientist are purposely avoided and only the interesting phases are set forth in these pages. Great care has been taken, however, to preserve the accuracy of all the facts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to the Moon (From Earth to the Moon) There may be some here who remember that memorable night of August 19, 1887, when nearly all Berlin went out to those points in the suburbs of the city which the astronomers had designated as the most favorable for an observation of the phenomenon. Let us go back ln fancy to that time and see whether from our view-point we shall not have better luck than the millions who stationed themselves in the region of totality and were cheated of their great expectations by the ill-humored weather clerk. Should the clouds become obstreperous here in our lecture room, we shall at least know who is to blame and have the privilege of filing complaint with the management, which was not possible when the celestial show made so, colossal a fiasco on that occasion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Day in the Moon Behind us the sun had set and night was coming on with a perfectly clear Sky. We were walking along a footpath among clumps of heath and furze. A herdsman was singing as he Slowly brought back his cattle to their Shed, and gradually as the night came on the thousand sounds Of Earth were hushed. One might have said that Nature was assuming a recollected Silence the better to prepare man to feel the charm of the heavens that were soon all studded with stars. And now, as the tints Of the landscape faded away, my childish imagination was full Of delight. The wide unbroken plain extended to the hori zon, which it seemed to touch, and I thought that the sea must present much the same appearance. Here and there the thickets of high-growing shrubs stood out in dark patches on the ground, and I imagined they were like great waves. The clumps of pines scattered here and there farther oh, black.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Wonders: Or Pictorial Miscellany Crystal Palaces are among the marvels of this marvellous age. They are grander than the palace which the Genius of the Wonder ful Lamp is said to have erected for that hero of eastern story, named Aladdin. The grandfathers and grandmothers of the beys and girls who now live, never dreamed of such things. If they should rise from their graves, and be led into the Crystal Palace at New York, they would rub their eyes and look wildly about. Like old Rip Van Winkle, after his long nap in Sleepy Hollow, they would be strangely puzzled; and I am inclined to think they would fancy themselves in fairy-land, or dream-land, or some other strange and mysterious country. But however it would be with them, one thing is certain. The boys and girls of our times do live in the era of crystal palaces; and they want to know something about them, and Particularly do they want to know about the one which is now open in the city of New York, a picture of which we have selected as our frontispiece.

Download or read book Astounding Wonder written by John Cheng and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When physicist Robert Goddard, whose career was inspired by H. G. Wells's War of the Worlds, published "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes," the response was electric. Newspaper headlines across the country announced, "Modern Jules Verne Invents Rocket to Reach Moon," while people from around the world, including two World War I pilots, volunteered as pioneers in space exploration. Though premature (Goddard's rocket, alas, was only imagined), the episode demonstrated not only science's general popularity but also its intersection with interwar popular and commercial culture. In that intersection, the stories that inspired Goddard and others became a recognizable genre: science fiction. Astounding Wonder explores science fiction's emergence in the era's "pulps," colorful magazines that shouted from the newsstands, attracting an extraordinarily loyal and active audience. Pulps invited readers not only to read science fiction but also to participate in it, joining writers and editors in celebrating a collective wonder for and investment in the potential of science. But in conjuring fantastic machines, travel across time and space, unexplored worlds, and alien foes, science fiction offered more than rousing adventure and romance. It also assuaged contemporary concerns about nation, gender, race, authority, ability, and progress—about the place of ordinary individuals within modern science and society—in the process freeing readers to debate scientific theories and implications separate from such concerns. Readers similarly sought to establish their worth and place outside the pulps. Organizing clubs and conventions and producing their own magazines, some expanded science fiction's community and created a fan subculture separate from the professional pulp industry. Others formed societies to launch and experiment with rockets. From debating relativity and the use of slang in the future to printing purple fanzines and calculating the speed of spaceships, fans' enthusiastic industry revealed the tensions between popular science and modern science. Even as it inspired readers' imagination and activities, science fiction's participatory ethos sparked debates about amateurs and professionals that divided the worlds of science fiction in the 1930s and after.
