A Positron Named Priscilla is a book of wonder, offering a fascinating, readable overview of cutting-edge investigations by many of today's leading young scientists. Written for anyone who loves science, this volume reports on some of the most exciting recent discoveries and advances in fields from astronomy to molecular biology. This new book is from one of the world's most prestigious scientific institutions, the National Academy of Sciences. The Academy provides an annual forum for the brightest young investigators to exchange ideas across disciplines—an exchange that was the spark for A Positron Named Priscilla. Each chapter is authored by a popular science writer who offers helpful historical perspectives, clear and well-illustrated explanations of current scientific thinking, and previews of future developments. The scope of topics and breadth of discussion ensure interest at all levels. Topics include: Planetary science and the compelling glimpse through the clouded atmosphere of Venus afforded by the spacecraft Magellan. Astrophysics and the emergence of helioseismology, a new field that allows researchers to probe the interior workings of the sun. Biology and what we have learned about DNA in the 40 years since its discovery; our current understanding of protein molecules, the "building blocks" of living systems; and the high-tech search for answers to the AIDS epidemic. Physics and our new-found ability to move and manipulate individual atoms on a surface. The book also tells the remarkable story of "buckyballs," or buckminsterfullerenes, a form of carbon discovered only a few years ago, that have the potential to be used in a variety of important applications, from superconductivity to nanotechnology. Mathematics and the rise of "wavelet" theory, and how mathematicians are applying it in sometimes startling ways, from assisting the FBI with fingerprint storage to coaxing the secrets from a battered recording of Brahms playing the piano. Geosciences and the search for "clocks in the earth" to make life-saving earthquake predictions. A Positron Named Priscilla is a "must" read for anyone who wants to keep up with a broad range of scientific endeavor.

Näiden aiemmin suomentamattomien ja hyvin erilaisten tarinoiden maailma kuhisee yliluonnollisia ja kammottavia vieraita: eloon herääviä kuolleita, aavemaisia ilmestyksiä, irvisteleviä pääkalloja, paholaismaisia hirviöitä, kuolettavia rakastettuja ja muuta klassisen kauhukirjallisuuden kuvastoa.Kokoelman ehdoton helmi on Middlemarchin ja Daniel Derondan kirjoittajan George Eliotin ainoa hairahdus kauhukirjallisuuden puolelle: niminovelli Kohotettu huntu kuvaa päähenkilönsä, romanttisen antisankarin Latimerin yritystä ymmärtää yliluonnollisia kykyjään ja saavuttamatonta rakkautensa kohdetta Berthaa. Latimer joutuu kuitenkin huomaamaan liian myöhään, että jotkut salaisuudet on syytä jättää tietämättömyyden hunnun taakse. Antologian muita kirjoittajia ovat Ambrose Bierce, Jerome K. Jerome, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Barry Pain, J.Y. Akerman ja E. F. Benson, jonka novelli Mies joka meni liian pitkälle on romantiikan kauhutarinoiden klassikko.Novelliantologian on toimittanut Jussi Tuomas Kivi.

As the smoky dark sweeps across the capital, strange stories emerge from the night. A seance reveals a ghastly secret in the murk of Regent's Canal. From south of the Thames come chilling reports of a spring-heeled spectre, and in Stoke Newington rumours abound of an opening to another world among the quiet alleys. Join Elizabeth Dearnley on this atmospheric tour through a shadowy London, a city which has long inspired writers of the weird and uncanny. Waiting in the hazy streets are eerie tales from Charlotte Riddell, Lettice Galbraith and Violet Hunt, along with haunting pieces by Virginia Woolf, Arthur Machen, Sam Selvon and many more.

Viktor Frankenshtejn - genialnyj uchenyj, sozdavshij monstruoznoe tvorenie, geroj velikogo romana Meri Shelli. No chto, esli opisannoe v ee knige "Frankenshtejn, ili Sovremennyj Prometej" - lish chast istorii? Chto, esli svoe nachalo ona beret za mnogo let do etogo? Teodor Roshak napisal neverojatnye memuary Elizabet Frankenshtejn, sestry i nevesty Viktora. Otkrovennaja i provokatsionnaja, eta kniga snova pogruzit nas v tu nezabyvaemuju istoriju i priotkroet dveri, o suschestvovanii kotorykh my dazhe i ne dogadyvalis. Tsvety dlja Eldzhernona" Deniela Kiza vkhodjat v programmu objazatelnogo chtenija v amerikanskikh shkolakh. Eta edinstvennaja istorija v zhanre nauchnoj fantastiki, avtor kotoroj byl dvazhdy nagrazhden snachala za rasskaz, a potom za roman s odnim i tem zhe nazvaniem, geroem, sjuzhetom. Na voprosy, kotorye podnimali esche M. Bulgakov v "Sobachem serdtse" i Dzh. London v "Martine Idene", Deniel Kiz daet svoj odnoznachnyj otvet. Kogda-to eto schitalos fantastikoj.
