A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection Together with a crew of other miners and cart-pullers, Hillalum is recruited to climb the Tower of Babylon and unearth what lies beyond the vault of heaven. During his journey, Hillalum discovers entire civilizations of tower-dwellers on the tower—there are those who live inside the mists of clouds, those who raise their vegetables above the sun, and those who have spent their lives under the oppressive weight of an endless, white stratum at the top of the universe. “Tower of Babylon” is a rare gem—a winner of the prestigious Nebula award, the first story Ted Chiang ever published, and the brilliant opening piece to Chiang’s much-lauded first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, which is soon to be a major motion picture starring Amy Adams. An ebook short.

Volcanic activity is an essential element of the forces that shape and continually reshape our planet. Volcanic eruptions are a regular reminder of the power of nature and our vulnerability to this raw geological phenomenon. What are volcanoes? How do volcanoes relate to plate tectonics and the movement of continents? Why do eruptions occur? Can we predict eruptions? How have volcanoes affected the earth's climate? What other volcanic activity is there? Copiously illustrated throughout, Introducing Volcanology is a concise and accessible introduction to the science of hot rocks. The book is for those with a curiosity - and for those contemplating a course of formal study - in the subject of volcanology. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and a glossary is provided, covering the whole realm, from ash to zeolites. The book also describes the most notable eruptions in world history. "...thorough and well done....clear and often innovative graphics." The Leading Edge (August 2012) [Subject: Volcanology, Geology, Natural Science]
