There is an informative afterword that provides more details, but overall I would say that this was a title suitable for much younger children, who might upon occasion ask something like: "why does everything fall down, instead of floating away?" Gravity itself is not something we completely understand yet, a reality that Franklyn Mansfield Branley highlighted in his own picture-book about the subject, Gravity Is a Mystery. The accompanying artwork is immensely engaging, vividly capturing the beauty of the cosmos, and the magic of flying objects liberated (in theory) from gravity.With no more than a word or two per page, Gravity is not a text-heavy book, and focuses more on emphasizing the central importance of gravity, rather than exploring what it is. In simple text, he sets out the importance of gravity, not just in keeping objects (and atmosphere!) tethered to our world, but in keeping our world revolving around the sun, and our moon orbiting us. Author/artist Jason Chin, whose many wonderful works of picture-book natural history include Redwoods, Coral Reefs and the recent Grand Canyon, explores the scientific concept of gravity here. ![]() ![]() But a casual fling can turn into something more when you least expect it. There’s something about him that makes Mac think a casual fling is just what she needs to take her mind off dealing with bridezillas and screening her mother’s phone calls. He’s even an English teacher at their high school alma mater. Carter Maguire is definitely not her type: he’s stable, and he’s safe. ![]() ![]() Mac’s foundation is jostled again moments before an important planning meeting when she bumps into the bride-to-be’s brother…an encounter that has them both seeing stars.

In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. So when the great god Om accidentally manifests himself as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it’s clear he’s become less important than he realised. And the Word was: “Hey, you!” This is the Discworld, after all, and religion is a controversial business. ‘Just because you can’t explain it, doesn’t mean it’s a miracle.’ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What precisely is the analogy that connects a labyrinth in space with a labyrinth in time? What kind of questions does Borges raise in the story about the nature of Time. The book is an infinite labyrinth, able to grow and branch off into billions and millions of timelines. However, as soon as the solution is said out loud it becomes incredibly obvious that the book, and the labyrinth, were not created to be viewed as one line of time moving through a physical space, but rather a narrator in a space moving through different paths of time. The project of the ancestor makes no sense when viewed from a typical thought process of linear progression of time, leading to many people thinking he was crazy. What exactly is the solution that Stephen Albert has discovered to the mystery concerning the project of the narrator’s ancestor?Īlbert discovered that the narrator’s ancestor wrote a labyrinth through time.

![]() ![]() Have you tracked down that issue, and if so, did it live up to your early impressions of it? I read that seeing the cover of a Weird Tales magazine on a newsstand when you were young sparked your interest in the horror genre. In short, Ramsey Campbell is an icon of the genre.ġ. How do you sum up Ramsey Campbell’s amazing career? He’s written hundreds of short stories, well over thirty novels, edited numerous anthologies, and has won more awards than any writer in the field, including British Fantasy Awards, World Fantasy Awards, The Stoker Award, The Grand Master Award of The World Horror Convention, The Horror Writer’s Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and The Living Legend Award of The International Horror Guild. ![]() ![]() He is, without question, my favorite writer, so I was tremendously honored he agreed to this interview. His ability to consistently craft masterful tales of horror and unease is awe-inspiring and ignited my desire to write my own tales of terror. A also fell in love with his amazing short pieces, so much so that I now consider his collection ALONE WITH THE HORRORS my all time favorite horror book. MIDNIGHT SUN, INCARNATE, NAZARETH HILL, THE DARKEST PART OF THE WOODS, and THE GRIN OF THE DARK were a few of the fantastic novels that followed afterward. I was instantly hooked, and it set me off in search of more. I first discovered Ramsey Campbell in 1989 when I selected his novel ANCIENT IMAGES from the horror section of our local Borders Book Shop. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you have not received your delivery following the estimated timeframe, we advise you to contact your local post office first, as the parcel may be there awaiting your collection.Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe. ![]() Delivery with Standard Australia Post usually happens within 2-10 business days from time of dispatch.You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel.
