On Hard Times and Other Stories Feature

Paddy, the old sheepdog, and Amy, the little butterfly, are an unlikely pair on a mission to help-who, what and how, they are not sure, but they know they must complete it, or something dreadful will happen. Driven by that certain knowledge, the pair journey into the unknown, combining their special talents to overcome danger and avert disaster. Experienced, strong and resourceful, Paddy is an ever vigilant sentinel for the brave but impetuous Amy who is excited, and scared, on her first trip away from family.

Slippage: Previously Uncollected, Precariously Poised Stories Feature

With this, his best-selling and most critically acclaimed collection ever, Ellison celebrates four decades of brilliant, outrageous writing.

Along the Rim of Time: Stories Feature

Eleven protagonists find themselves skirting the often uncertain boundary between this world and others, by choice, by chance, or by coercion. Warriors fight battles they didn't sign on to fight. Androids grapple with humanity, their own and that of the people around them. Teachers, artists, scientists, and even a housewife encounter realities they never knew existed. From ancient Britain to the moons of Jupiter, from Scotland to Tibet to your own back yard, from this world to the ones that never existed, these eleven stories take you for a wild ride along the rim of time, space, and the imagination.

Imaginary Numbers: An Anthology of Marvelous Mathematical Stories, Diversions, Poems, and Musings Feature

"With this delightful anthology, Frucht throws a bridge across the chasm separating the 'Two Cultures' of science and literature."--Booklist

"A marvelous colledtion of diverse talents and writing."--San Diego Union-Tribune

A wildly inventive treasury of the most artful words ever written about numbers. Mathematics and writing may seem to exist in opposite realms, but as William Frucht reveals, the world of numbers has always held a special fascination for men and women of letters. Imaginary Numbers displays the fruits of this cross-fertilization by collecting the best creative writing about mathematical topics from the past hundred years. In this engaging anthology, we can explore the many ways writers have played with mathematical ideas. Delve into the fourth dimension and infinity, into fantasy and philosophy with such masters as Lewis Carroll, Edwin Abbott Abbott, Philip K. Dick, Martin Gardner, and Alan Lightman. Revel in renowned tales by Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, cult classics such as Connie Willis's "The Schwartzschild Radius,"and lesser-known gems by such visionaries as William Gibson and A. K. Dewdney. For mathematical mavens and literary lions alike, Imaginary Numbers adds up to one fascinating read.
