Beam Piper's greatest novel of interstellar adventure. THE LIGHT OF BURNING WORLDS Lucas Trask of Traskon was not an admirer of the Space Vikings; raiding, pillage and killing were not avocations to his liking. And on this long-awaited day of his marriage to the lovely Lady Elaine, all unpleasant thoughts seemed far away.

Space and Place in Children’s Literature, 1789 to the Present (Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present)
by Maria Sachiko Cecire Hannah Field Malini RoyFocusing on questions of space and locale in children’s literature, this collection explores how metaphorical and physical space can create landscapes of power, knowledge, and identity in texts from the early nineteenth century to the present. The collection is comprised of four sections that take up the space between children and adults, the representation of 'real world' places, fantasy travel and locales, and the physical space of the children’s book-as-object. In their essays, the contributors analyze works from a range of sources and traditions by authors such as Sylvia Plath, Maria Edgeworth, Gloria Anzaldúa, Jenny Robson, C.S. Lewis, Elizabeth Knox, and Claude Ponti. While maintaining a focus on how location and spatiality aid in defining the child’s relationship to the world, the essays also address themes of borders, displacement, diaspora, exile, fantasy, gender, history, home-leaving and homecoming, hybridity, mapping, and metatextuality. With an epilogue by Philip Pullman in which he discusses his own relationship to image and locale, this collection is also a valuable resource for understanding the work of this celebrated author of children’s literature.
Space: A Primer for Curious Minds
by Ted MerrittAsteroids ExplainedAs man begins to explore our solar space, some asteroids, which are like small moons made up of rocks and dust, are easier and cheaper to explore than the planets, including Earth.Asteroids are usually rich in minerals and many of them have water and carbon which are associated with the creation of life. Simply put, exploring them is a good first step as we expand efforts to visit celestial bodies. Scientists also plan to revisit earth&’s moon, nearby Mars and possibly Saturn&’s moon Titan. While we don&’t expect to find actual life in the asteroid exploration, we do look forward to better understand how the solar system developed and, of course, how earth was created,Asteroids are usually irregularly shaped by many collisions with each other. So, we are able to get a relatively easy look at their interior characteristics.It would be interesting to look deep inside earth but at this point it is impossible.Do you suppose the Earth&’s interior is somewhat like an exposed asteroid interior?

The result: Spacer and Rat, a fast-paced space adventure and a short story about human feeling and growing up -- science fiction for those who love SF; riveting fiction for those who don't.
