Book Description

“Geoff St. Reynard” was the pseudonym used by Robert Wilson Krepps (1919-1980) for most of his science fiction and fantasy pulp work—he published adventure tales and mainstream stories in higher-paying “slick” magazines like The Saturday Evening Post, which tended to look down on the pulps and avoid stories by their “hack” writers. This volume collects 3 of his novels and two shorter works. Included are: BEWARE, THE USURPERS! BEYOND THE FEARFUL FOREST THE BUTTONED SKY THE ENORMOUS ROOM THE GIANTS FROM OUTER SPACE If you enjoy this ebook, check out the more than 400 more titles in the MEGAPACK® series, showcasing huge collections of science fiction, mystery, adventure, ghost stories—and much, much more.

Book Description

The material in this book forms the basis of an interdisciplinary, college-level course, which uses science fiction film as a vehicle for exploring science concepts. Unlike traditional introductory-level courses, the science content is arranged according to major themes in science fiction, with a deliberate progression from the highly objective and discipline-specific (e.g. Reference Frames; Physics of Space Travel and Time Travel) to the very multi-disciplinary and thought-provoking (e.g. Human Teleportation; Science and Society). Over 100 references to science fiction films and television episodes are included, spanning more than 100 years of cinematic history. Some of these are conducive to calculations (solutions included).

This book presents the reader with some of the earliest classic SF short stories – all of them published between 1858 and 1934, featuring both well-known and long-forgotten writers – dealing for the first time with topics to which science had (some) answers only at much later stages. This includes aspects of alien life forms, transmogrification, pandemics, life on Mars, android robots, big data, matter transmission and impact events to name but a few. The short stories are reprinted in full alongside extensive commentaries which also examine some of the latest scientific thinking surrounding the story’s main theme and provide the reader with suggestions for further reading.
