Recalled to Life
by Robert SilverbergWhen a nervous scientist from Beller Laboratories approached James Harker, asking him to introduce a new scientific discovery to the world, Harker had his own reasons for agreeing. The discovery was a reanimation process - bringing the recently dead back to life. But Harker hadn't anticipated treachery within the ranks of the scientists working on the process, nor on the consternation and mounting hysteria when the news broke. James Harker faced the most demanding task of his life - and he didn't know if he would live to see the results.(First published 1962)

Rechenka's Eggs
by Patricia PolaccoFrom the book Jacket: Old Babushka, known throughout all of Moskva for her beautifully painted eggs, is preparing her eggs for the Easter Festival when she takes in an injured goose. She names the goose Rechenka, and they live happily together until one day when Rechenka accidentally overturns a basket, breaking all of Babushka's lovingly crafted eggs. But the next morning Babushka has a surprise awaiting her in the basket. She cries: "A miracle!" It is one of many in this charmingly told tale of friendship and caring. With vibrant, full-color illustrations, Patricia Polacco has joyously re-created the flavor of Old Moscow and its festivals. The eggs, stunningly colored and intricately designed, are authentic reproductions of eggs painted in the Ukrainian style. Rechenka's Eggs is a timeless story of classic beauty. Patricia Polacco, having grown up in a family of artists and storytellers, feels "fortunate to be doing something I truly love." Her education is global, ranging from California to Australia. Beginning at Laney College in her home town of Oakland, she went on to receive both a bachelor's and master's degree in fine art at Monash University in Melbourne. Ultimately she earned a Ph.D. at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, where she studied Russian and Greek iconographie history. When not writing or illustrating for magazines, Ms. Polacco can be found running, sculpting, or painting Ukrainian eggs, such as the ones in Rechenkas Eggs. Her interest in these eggs stems from her family origins in the Ukraine and the Georgian provinces in Russia.
