His followers establish a Foundation on the frontier world of Terminus-a colony tasked with conserving all human knowledge-where they spend the next millennium fulfilling “Seldon’s plan” to reunite the galaxy. “The storm-blast whistles through the branches of the Empire even now.” “Interstellar wars will be endless,” he warns. Its inventor, Hari Seldon, lives in a twelve-thousand-year-old galactic empire, which, his equations reveal, is about to collapse. Isaac Asimov’s classic saga revolves around the dismal science of “psychohistory,” a hybrid of math and psychology that can predict the future. An innocent viewer of the new Apple TV+ series “Foundation”-a lavish production complete with clone emperors, a haunted starship, and a killer android who tears off her own face-might be surprised to learn that the novels it’s based on inspired Paul Krugman to become an economist. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Mandíbula" es una novela sobre el miedo y su relación con la familia, la sexualidad y la violencia. Pero pronto los motivos de ese secuestro se revelarán mucho más oscuros que el "bullying" a una maestra: un perturbador amor juvenil, una traición inesperada y algunos ritos secretos e iniciáticos inspirados en esas historias virales y terroríficas gestadas en Internet. Su secuestradora no es una desconocida, sino su maestra de Lengua y Literatura, una mujer joven a quien ella y sus amigas han atormentado durante meses en un colegio de élite del Opus Dei. ![]() Una adolescente fanática del horror y de las "creepypastas" (historias de terror que circulan por internet) despierta maniatada en una cabaña en medio del bosque. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Planet of Exile (1966), the fate of colonists from Earth stranded on distant Werel depends on working together with the planet’s indigenous peoples if they are to survive the oncoming fifteen-year winter. In Rocannon’s World (1966), Hainish scientist Gaverel Rocannon ventures to an unnamed planet to conduct a peaceful ethnological survey only to discover a secret outpost of the League’s deadly enemy. ![]() ![]() Le Guin first conceived her League of All Worlds in three early novels of daring inventiveness. Now, for the first time, the complete Hainish novels and stories are collected in a definitive two-volume Library of America edition, with new introductions by the author. In such visionary masterworks as the Nebula and Hugo Award winners The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, she imagined a galactic confederation of human colonies founded by the planet Hain-an array of worlds whose divergent societies, the result of both evolution and genetic engineering, afford a rich field for literary explorations of “the nature of human nature,” as Margaret Atwood has described Le Guin’s subject. Le Guin redrew the map of modern science fiction. Beginning in the 1960s and 70s, Ursula K. ![]() ![]() A short time later, in chapter two, Albom reveals that Morrie’s “death sentence came in the summer of 1994” (20). In fact, within the first line of the memoir he explains, “the last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week in his house,” alluding to Morrie’s impending death (17). ![]() ![]() Mitch Albom quickly establishes the fact that Morrie is quite ill and approaching death. Mitch Albom’s use of extreme detail and imagery to promote meaning, his unique writing structure and the in-depth reflections he weaves throughout this story are particularly effective in conveying just how profound a time this was for him, deeming this a legitimate memoir, appropriately centered around a man who impacted him tremendously Albom’s account of his reactions and the impressions he draws from his time spent with Morrie provide the reader with a clear image of who he is as the narrator. He characterizes in great detail Morrie’s last few months of life as he battled the debilitating and terminal disease ALS. When Mitch Albom penned his touching and insightful memoir, Tuesdays With Morrie, he recounted the precious moments that he was able to spend with his college professor, Morrie Schwartz, who was also his former mentor with whom he had lost touch. It varies from an autobiography in that it usually focuses on a single, monumental period in the author’s life. ![]() A memoir is typically a written account of a personal experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But then, when I tackle a historical or literary topic I used to just make one comic and now I tend to make, like, six, because I think it adds a bit more depth to the comics that I’m making. I got tired of it and wanted to try something new. I started some long form ones in “Step Aside, Pops” because I was just sort of breaking loose from the rigid structure that I had before. ![]() And then they started to get longer than that, and they started to become less traditional comic strip forms sometimes.

Time and space had resulted in their evolution. Over time, they had become a new species of finch. ![]() What made these species different? Was it possible they were ever the same? Darwin believed a few South American finches must have flown off to the Galapagos. So if Jeb and Irene can't make baby finches, that means they're part of the finch family, but distinct from one another.ĭarwin kept meticulous notes and drawings on the species he encountered. They confirmed that the birds Darwin collected were different species of finches to the ones they had in England.īut what makes Finch A (we'll call him Jeb) a different species from Finch B (Irene)? A species is a group of animals that can exchange genes (aka go ask your dad). Bet his crew was glad he didn't choose to study spiders.ĭarwin took birds from South America and the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, back to his naturalist buddies at home. While traveling the ocean blue, he kept a detailed diary of the organisms he saw at each pit stop, often collecting specimens to take home with him to England.
