Watching the news has been rather unpleasant for Tatsuya lately. It seems like whenever he tunes in, itâ ™s just one bad story after another. Just as he feared, it was only a matter of time before strategic magic was used againâ ”this time by the Great Asian Alliance. Things hit much closer to home when a spell Tatsuya developed for the Nine School Competition years ago is tied to a brutal guerilla attack against GAA forces. These violent events only fan the flames of anti-magician sentiment, and it isnâ ™t long before rising tensions provoke a response, culminating in the announcement of the Dione Project, an ambitious plan to develop Venus with magic. While Tatsuya has his doubts about the new space programâ ™s true goal, this problem is about to get very personal when Taurus Silver is named as a prime candidate!

This is not the definitive work on the Russian space program, but it will give the reader an insight into a political and complex world of space science. Although the success of the high-profile American space program had grabbed all the headlines, Russia slowly, but consistently, has continued to expand their contribution to the exploration of space. Since the phasing out of the Space Shuttle, it is the Russians that now have the main responsibility to replace the crewmembers and take supplies to the space station, although now the American SpaceX program has eased that burden. The book covers the early triumphs and disasters of the Russian space program and the animals that helped pave the way, although the casualties never came to light until many years later, when the understanding and tensions between the East and West eased. Despite the number of setbacks that dogged the early years, Russia slowly developed spacecraft that, although considered by some to be very basic, were reliable. The development of the Salyut and Mir space stations created a closer understanding between the nations, the work and experiments carried out by the cosmonauts in these early space stations, were almost all military and were either secret or restricted, so little is known about them. However, with the arrival of the International Space Station came a degree of openness and great strides were made in the understanding of the physiological and psychological effects of the men and women involved in working in space and a weightless environment. Unfortunately, since the war in the Ukraine, Russiaâ ™s relationship with the West has deteriorated considerably and co-operation within the space program is very limited, although the two main powers have reached an agreement regarding the transportation of crews and supplies to the ISS. It is thought however that the International Space Station days are numbered and will close in 2031. The book also makes reference to only a small number of Kosmos missions, those mentioned are the only ones with any connection to space exploration. The remainder, and there have been over 2,500 Kosmos missions, were either military or scientific satellites.

Long before the James Webb Telescope rekindled our fascination with astronomy and our place in the cosmos, the Space Shuttle began to capture the world’s attention with its first mission (a test launch) on April 12, 1981 and continued to do so until its final mission on July 8, 2011. The program’s six orbiter vehicles are Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. Each mission has its own fascinating story, and The Space Shuttle retells these stories, in chronological order, through incredible photos taken by NASA photojournalists, fine art photographers, and the astronauts themselves. Each image is accompanied by a short text that includes quick facts such as crew members, launch date, and landing date, as well as a short overview of highlights and purpose. For example, STS-78’s mission was to study circadian rhythms in space; STS-41G’s mission was to take photographs in-flight, seen in the IMAX movie The Dream Is Alive; and famously, the first untethered space walk, taken by astronaut Bruce McCandless on STS-41B using a self-propelled backpack unit (called a Man Maneuvering Unit [MMU]), allowed astronauts to capture satellites for retrieval and repair and for the planned construction of what became the International Space Station (ISS). Prior to this mission, astronauts were attached to the shuttle with safety lines. The photo of McCandless floating above Earth’s surface is one of the most celebrated and famous space photographs ever. These are just a few of the 140 stories Miller tells in this beautiful volume.

Adapted from a series of four lectures, originally delivered as the first of the Granada Northern Lectures Peter Brook s The Empty Space is an exploration of four aspects of theatre, Deadly, Holy, Rough and Immediate , published in Penguin Modern Classics. I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage In The Empty Space, groundbreaking director Peter Brook draws on a life in love with the stage to explore the issues facing any theatrical performance. Here he describes important developments in theatre from the last century, as well as smaller scale events, from productions by Stanislavsky to the rise of Method Acting, from Brecht s revolutionary alienation technique to the free form Happenings of the 1960s, and from the different styles of such great Shakespearean actors as John Gielgud and Paul Scofield to a joyous impromptu performance in the burnt-out shell of the Hamburg Opera just after the war. Passionate, unconventional and fascinating, his book shows how theatre defies rules, builds and shatters illusions and creates lasting memories for its audiences.Peter Stephen Paul Brook CH CBE (b. 1925) is a highly influential British theatrical producer and director. During the 1950s he worked on many productions in Britain, Europe, and the USA, and in 1962 returned to Stratford-upon-Avon to join the newly established Royal Shakespeare Company. Throughout the next the 1960 s he directed many ground breaking productions for the RSC before in 1970 forming The International Centre for Theatre Research in Paris.

New Space Opera 2 - to je devatenáct nových a u nás dosud nevydaných příběhů, které znovu přinášejí barvitá dobrodružství z dalekého i blízkého vesmíru. Opět jde o povídky, jež tvoří samotné jádro žánru science fiction a jistě nezklamou žádného z jeho příznivců. Kdo by si ostatně nechal ujít dramatické výpravy do dosud neprozkoumaných oblastí, v nichž se krása pojí s všudypřítomným nebezpečím a jediná chyba vás může stát to nejcennější - život. Nouze nebude ani o setkání s mimozemskými druhy a opomenout nelze ani vesmírné bitvy, záhadné artefakty a řadu dalších atraktivních motivů, bez nichž by se správná space opera jednoduše neobešla. Proslulá editorská dvojice Gardner Dozois a Jonathan Strahan skvělým způsobem navázala na úspěch antologie New Space Opera a stejně jako u předchozího svazku, si i tentokrát po zásluze odnesla prestižní ocenění Locus pro nejlepší antologii daného ročníku. Na stránkách této knihy se navíc neobjevuje žádný z přispěvatelů předchozího výběru, naopak jde o zcela novou skupinu spisovatelů, ačkoli jejich věhlas ani kvalita odvedené práce není o nic menší, což ostatně dokazuje i cena Hugo, nejvyšší žánrové ocenění, pro jednu ze zde publikovaných prací.

New Space Opera vás naučí, že i přes bizarní podoby, kterých lidstvo během dobývání vesmíru dosáhne, vždy v něm zůstane něco zcela nezničitelného - samotná lidskost.Technologicky orientovaná science fiction se tu střídá s příběhy založenými především na postavách, mimozemská perspektiva s průniky do lidského nitra, politické a etické otázky jsou zkoumány z neobvyklých úhlů. I přes veškerou rozmanitost se v rámci tradice spojené se space operou objevuje jasně rozeznatelná soudržnost - láska k dobrodružnému příběhu a víra v lidskou nezlomnost při zkoumání neznámých končin vesmíru.

Michael McDowell’s Blackwater meets Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show in the disturbing first installment of a new trilogy of transgressive literary horror from the Bram Stoker Award® finalist and Splatterpunk Award-winning author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke.The lives of those residing in the isolated town of Burnt Sparrow, New Hampshire, are forever altered after three faceless entities arrive on Christmas morning to perform a brutal act of violence—a senseless tragedy that can never be undone.

Once relationships become intertwined and more carnage ensues as a result of the massacre, the town residents quickly learn that true retribution is futile, cruelty is earned, and certain thresholds must never be crossed no matter what.Engrossing, atmospheric, and unsettling, this is a devastating story of a small New England community rocked by an unforgivable act of violence. Writing with visceral intensity and profound eloquence, LaRocca journeys deep into the dark heart of Burnt Sparrow, leaving you chilled to the bone and wanting more.
