Invasion Alienigena - Dentro Del Área 51
by Patrick M MarianoDescripción del libro: Este libro contiene una serie de entrevistas que hice en los Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido. Probablemente soy el primer periodista en acceder al Área 51. Cuando empecé esta investigación, no sabía a dónde me conduciría, pero lo que vi en los niveles subterráneos es realmente aterrador. Si alguna vez se ha preguntado si estamos solos en este universo, la respuesta es no. Los extraterrestres están más cerca de lo que se imagina. He dedicado toda mi vida a informar sobre historias y eventos en los periódicos, y eso es lo que hago para ganarme la vida. No me detendré ahora. Sin embargo, para proteger mi vida, decidí escribir este libro bajo un seudónimo. A lo largo de este libro haré referencia específica a hechos que son claramente reconocibles y que pueden ser consultados. Mi única esperanza es que tomen medidas AHORA y que empiecen a protegerse a ustedes y a las personas que los rodean.

Invasion of the Sea (Early Classics of Science Fiction)
by Jules VerneJules Verne, celebrated French author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days, wrote over 60 novels collected in the popular series "Voyages Extraordinaires." A handful of these have never been translated into English, including Invasion of the Sea, written in 1904 when large-scale canal digging was very much a part of the political, economic, and military strategy of the world's imperial powers.Instead of linking two seas, as existing canals (the Suez and the Panama) did, Verne proposed a canal that would create a sea in the heart of the Sahara Desert. The story raises a host of concerns -- environmental, cultural, and political. The proposed sea threatens the nomadic way of life of those Islamic tribes living on the site, and they declare war. The ensuing struggle is finally resolved only by a cataclysmic natural event. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices and an introduction by Verne scholar Arthur B. Evans, as well as reproductions of the illustrations from the original French edition.

INVASORES, LOS (EBOOK)
by Alejand AgostinelliImaginemos que un extraterrestre está leyendo este libro. Que cada lector elija al biotipo extraterrestre que más le guste. No importa, en este caso, cuál es la apariencia física del extraterrestre, ni su planeta de origen, ni el carácter pacifista o guerrero de sus intenciones. No importa cómo se alimenta, ni cómo copula, ni cómo funciona su aparato excretor. No importa el diseño de sus naves espaciales ni tampoco la tecnología que las impulsa. No importa dónde está leyendo este libro: si en su planeta, si a bordo de su nave o en la base que, como todo el mundo sabe, los extraterrestres tienen en Roswell. Lo único que importa, en este caso, es que es un extraterrestre y que está leyendo este libro. Es indudable que éste será un libro imprescindible en toda biblioteca extraterrestre, y no lo digo por sus historias sobre extraterrestres: al fin y al cabo, todo extraterrestre más o menos informado las conoce o al menos ha oído hablar de ellas. Es indudable, decía, que éste será un libro imprescindible en toda biblioteca extraterrestre, porque éste es un gran libro sobre seres humanos. Y si ellos, los extraterrestres, planean visitarnos, o bien en son de paz, o bien para invadirnos, este libro puede resultarles muy útil para conocernos. La materia prima del trabajo de los buenos periodistas y Alejandro Agostinelli es uno de los mejores que conozco son las personas, y no la política, la economía, los deportes, el arte, la ciencia o los extraterrestres. Los buenos periodistas terráqueos no olvidan jamás que cada episodio que describen, cada historia que cuentan, trata sobre seres humanos. Alejandro Agostinelli ha dedicado buena parte de su vida a investigar este tipo de casos: me consta que podría escribir veinte libros tan buenos como éste sin repetir una sola historia. Como lector, deseo que lo haga. De esa maravillosa materia está hecho Invasores, concebido y escrito para que lo disfruten los lectores de todo el universo, pero sobre todo, los que residen en la Tierra.
La invención de Morel
by Adolfo Bioy CasaresLa gran novela de amor y aventuras de Adolfo Bioy Casares, que definió con ella el curso de la literatura argentina. Hito de la literatura fantástica, La invención de Morel (1940) es una novela de amor y aventuras sobre los extraños acontecimientos que descubre un fugitivo al llegar a una isla desierta, en la que de pronto se manifiestan habitantes espectrales. Gracias a la brillante imaginación De Adolfo Bioy Casares, lo inexplicable hallará su razón de ser en un asombroso postulado científico, pero entretanto el narrador caerá presa de sus impulsos más irracionales, hasta vislumbrar no solo la realización de una pasión imposible, sino una suerte de inmortalidad. Sobre la obra: «No me parece una imprecisión o una hipérbole calificarla de perfecta».Jorge Luis Borges
Inventing Tomorrow: H. G. Wells and the Twentieth Century
by Sarah ColeH. G. Wells played a central role in defining the intellectual, political, and literary character of the twentieth century. A prolific literary innovator, he coined such concepts as “time machine,” “war of the worlds,” and “atomic bomb,” exerting vast influence on popular ideas of time and futurity, progress and decline, and humanity’s place in the universe. Wells was a public intellectual with a worldwide readership. He met with world leaders, including Roosevelt, Lenin, Stalin, and Churchill, and his books were international best-sellers. Yet critics and scholars have largely forgotten his accomplishments or relegated them to genre fiction, overlooking their breadth and diversity.In Inventing Tomorrow, Sarah Cole provides a definitive account of Wells’s work and ideas. She contends that Wells casts new light on modernism and its values: on topics from warfare to science to time, his work resonates both thematically and aesthetically with some of the most ambitious modernists. At the same time, unlike many modernists, Wells believed that literature had a pressing place in public life, and his works reached a wide range of readers. While recognizing Wells’s limitations, Cole offers a new account of his distinctive style as well as his interventions into social and political thought. She illuminates how Wells embodies twentieth-century literature at its most expansive and engaged. An ambitious rethinking of Wells as both writer and thinker, Inventing Tomorrow suggests that he offers a timely model for literature’s moral responsibility to imagine a better global future.

by Mary Carter Theresa Meyers Elizabeth BassAn Inconvenient AttractionSir Marley Turlock doesn't normally bother with flirtation. He's an inventor, a scientist, not a gadabout. And the floor of the inaugural London Aeronautical Exhibition, just before he presents his groundbreaking new device to the Queen herself, is not the place to change his habits toward the fairer sex.

Of course, Sephie's secrets aren't all innocuous tricks to make the gears spin smoother.

The Inventor's Companion
by Ariel TachnaGabriel Blackstone's world is divided quite clearly into castes: everyone knows their place and abides by it. As an inventor in the merchant caste, his life is predictable in its routine until the night his best friends and assistants, Caleb and Andrew, purchase the time--and body--of a companion for his birthday. As an activist in the Caste Equality movement, everything Gabriel believes in tells him to refuse the gift, but then he meets Lucio. The beautiful and alluring companion is far more than the vapid courtesan he'd expected, and he can't get the man out of his mind. After that night, Gabriel tells himself to forget about Lucio, but a chance meeting at a ball makes it clear neither of them is willing to ignore the compelling chemistry between them. It will take all their combined trust and cunning, plus the help of a wily aristocrat and a plucky political activist, to overcome the challenges of infidelity, abuse, and social stigma that lay along their road; however, Gabriel knows it will all be worth it if at the end of the day he can call Lucio his own.
