Theodore Rose Cogswell (1918 - 1987) was an American science fiction author. His first published story, "The Spectre General" in the magazine ASTOUNDING (June 1952), was a humorous tale in which a long-forgotten maintenance brigade of the Imperial Space Marines holds the promise of reinvigorating a declining Galactic empire. It's a classic and was selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the greatest SF stories of all time. This volume (a reissue of Cogswell's 1968 collection, THE THIRD EYE) presents 16 of his classic stories and is the first of what should eventually be three Cogswell Megapacks, presenting his complete short stories. Included are: NO GUN TO THE VICTOR MR.

Armchair Fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel is ¿Return of Creegar¿ by David Wright O¿Brien. Creegar sought vengeance from across the Solar System. He had been an inmate in a penal planet prison for five agonizing years. He¿d been set up, framed by a high-ranking law enforcement official named Judson Bellham, to whom Creegar (at one time Bellham¿s right-hand man) had become an obstacle. The sticking point had been the love of a beautiful young woman named Sherry Bennet, a love that Bellham desperately wanted, but that Creegar possessed. So in a carefully executed plot, Bellham had gotten Creegar out of the way, swept away in the cruelest of frame-ups. But now, five years later, Bellham had agreed to Creegar¿s release in exchange for Sherry Bennet¿s promise of marriage. But Creegar was forbidden to return to Earth, under penalty of death. But death meant nothing to Creegar, who was now driven solely by a desire for revenge. Unfortunately, he had one of the shrewdest man hunters in the Solar System out to track him down. The second novel is Mark Clifton¿s wonderful tale of the future, ¿Eight Keys to Eden.¿ There was trouble brewing on the frontier of Space. The colony was billions of miles away. So much depended on their regular check-ins, their reports, and their findings, that many alternative systems of communication had been set up. Yet now there was silence; now it seemed they were completely cut off¿with no way for Earth to know what was happening, or had already happened, except to send someone to find out. In such circumstances, Earth did not waste time; they dispatched a crew to accompany a member of the very exclusive, very small group that ruled Earth¿an E-man, a super-brain, a genius, a man outside all law because he was gifted with an intellect so powerful that he was theoretically ¿untouchable.¿ Even he was to find terror and wonder on Eden¿

The material in this book forms the basis of an interdisciplinary, college-level course, which uses science fiction film as a vehicle for exploring science concepts. Unlike traditional introductory-level courses, the science content is arranged according to major themes in science fiction, with a deliberate progression from the highly objective and discipline-specific (e.g. Reference Frames; Physics of Space Travel and Time Travel) to the very multi-disciplinary and thought-provoking (e.g. Human Teleportation; Science and Society). Over 100 references to science fiction films and television episodes are included, spanning more than 100 years of cinematic history. Some of these are conducive to calculations (solutions included).

Conservation Biology for All provides cutting-edge but basic conservation science to a global readership. A series of authoritative chapters have been written by the top names in conservation biology with the principal aim of disseminating cutting-edge conservation knowledge as widely as possible. Important topics such as balancing conversion and human needs, climate change, conservation planning, designing and analyzing conservation research, ecosystem services, endangered species management, extinctions, fire, habitat loss, and invasive species are covered. Numerous textboxes describing additional relevant material or case studies are also included. The global biodiversity crisis is now unstoppable; what can be saved in the developing world will require an educated constituency in both the developing and developed world. Habitat loss is particularly acute in developing countries, which is of special concern because it tends to be these locations where the greatest species diversity and richest centres of endemism are to be found. Sadly, developing world conservation scientists have found it difficult to access an authoritative textbook, which is particularly ironic since it is these countries where the potential benefits of knowledge application are greatest. There is now an urgent need to educate the next generation of scientists in developing countries, so that they are in a better position to protect their natural resources.
