This tightly argued and profoundly thought provoking book tackles a huge subject: the coming of the nuclear age with bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, and the ways in which it has changed our lives since. Dr Heuser sets these events in their historical context and tackles key issues about the effect of nuclear weapons on modern attitudes to conflict, and on the ethics of warfare. Ducking nothing, she demystifies the subject, seeing `the bomb' not as something unique and paralysing, but as an integral part of the strategic and moral context of our time. For a wide multidisciplinary and general readership.
While his son is comatose from an ecological accident, Derek Wythin becomes obsessed with vivid dreams that he begins to believe are depicting one of his Arthurian-age ancestors. He must somehow enable this ancestor to survive in the past or Derek will cease to exist in the present. But perhaps his mind is betraying him, as he also fights to meet the challenges of his modern world and not be taken over by a menace lurking in his subconscious.

This becomes possible when unexpected talents emerge from the unencumbered left and right lobes of his brain. For those willing, this other-world adventure will extend Science Fiction into the psychology and physiology of consciousness and age reversal.
This book is a wild burst of poetic originality that freely acknowledges the even greater originality of poetic giants of the past. Nonetheless, the author uses wit and wisdom, and even false modesty, to poetically expound on a surprising variety of subjects that may well delight, amuse, challenge, and even inspire those who are willing to open themselves to new experiences.
Hank Jones isn't your typical alien abductee. There were no tractor beams, probes, or government conspiracies involved-no, Hank met his kidnappers at a bar. They weren't exactly hard to miss-Elvis, a seven-foot tall Elvis clone, and Lawrence, a grounded European gent, were the only UCLA supporters in a bar full of Hoosiers.Still, Hank has nothing better to do. It's spring break, there's a pile of freshman essays on his desk, and his thesis is going nowhere. Worse, his ex is sleeping with his dissertation director. He needs a friend, and these aliens will do.Besides, Elvis and Lawrence could really use a hand-they haven't visited Earth since the 1950s, and now they're lost in Indiana, not realizing that things have changed. They need to get to Washington: if they don't warn the president about a coming nuclear arms race, the planet will be destroyed. But the American public don't seem too worried. Aliens? And one of them looks like Elvis? Facebook and Twitter are aflame. Oprah and The Tonight Show hang on the phone. The apocalypse will have to wait.Second Coming is the hilarious new novel by D.B. Borton, author of the Cat Caliban and Gilda Liberty series. Taking aim at consumerism, the cult of celebrity, and the self-destructiveness of humanity, it nonetheless finds joy in the pleasures of basketball, dogs, and rock 'n' roll.
