LOOMING DESTRUCTION FROM SPACE! It's the beginning of a new golden age of space exploration. Finally, humanity is taking the commercialization of space to the next level-mining asteroids. The new gold rush of the commercial space era has begun. Another commercial venture, an attempt to put a hotel on the Moon, is seeking the space tourism gold of the ultra wealthy. And it seems as if the dream of finally sending people to Mars is finally going to happen using a ship propelled by a powerful nuclear rocket. But space travel isn't cut and dry, and there is nothing routine about it. In order to mine an asteroid the goal is to bring it closer to Earth, but orbital mechanics are tricky and close to Earth proves to be far too close for comfort-with looming destruction from space about to become a grim reality. Now astronauts, scientists, engineers, and people in all the burgeoning space businesses must team together to stop the asteroid before it is too late for humanity and the planet it calls home.

"It was a million-to-one-shot, Doc". "My hands were full". "I fell". These and many other ludicrous excuses are what emergency room doctors hear every day from patients who check in with various objects inserted where the sun don't shine, stuck in various orifices or ingested in other ways. How exactly did that cell phone end up there? Was it on vibrate? And is the rectum truly the best place to store your fake grenade? It is at least somewhat understandable to find a rectal thermometer in its intended place, but how about a crack pipe? And what does your 6-year-old-daughter have to say about her missing Barbie doll? People's imagination knows no bounds, and we, of course, love to point and laugh. "Stuck Up!" features hilarious Xray images of the most outrageous kind, accompanied by short texts about the patient's excuse, the potential reasoning behind the insertion, and the method of removal. Warning: Grossness factor and hilarity are high! Sample objects include: stapler, toothbrush, banana, dentures, eyeglasses, Buzz Lightyear, USB drive, coathanger, iPod, and engagement ring.

What happened to Generation X? Millenials dominate our Facebook feeds and people bang on about the baby boomers - but what about us? The lost generation, the middle youth, the middle child of today. Are we still cool? Generation X? Remember them? The kids who believed they'd never grow up. The generation Douglas Coupland immortalised in his novel of the same name. The wry, knowing navel-gazers obsessed with cool and being cool who today are sandwiched between the boomers of the 60s and the millennials. Gen X'ers came of age against a backdrop of Britpop and the Spice Girls, Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Madchester and the Stone Roses, acid house and rave, super clubs, Ministry and Cream. They holidayed in Ibiza high on hooch and E and never ever believed there'd be a comedown. So whatever happened to them? We turned 40. And as Tiffanie Darke points out in this witty exploration of the generation who defied generalisation, we're not handling it all that well Where once we wore floaty skirts and Doc Martins, now we're sporting Scandi fashion and 'interesting' trainers. We still party in Ibiza but now bodyboard in Cornwall. Where once mixtapes were the ultimate mating call, now we take selfies and swap Spotify playlists all the while conspicuously wearing large Dr Beats headphones and casually leaving old packets of Kingsize Rizla lying round our open plan kitchens. In Now We Are 40, Tiffanie interviews some of the most iconic Gen X'ers such as Pearl Lowe, Richard Reed and Blur's bassist Alex James to look at how Gen X live their life in between being young and old, and how it feels to want to burn down the establishment only to realise that now you are the establishment.

The title says it all: This is the funniest Uncle John book EVER, in the newest and most improved way. (It might even be the funniest book in the history of books, but Uncle John is much too modest to state that outright...even though it is).It's new, it's improved, it's the funniest ever! Back by popular demand, this newly revised edition includes plenty of all-time favorites, along with more than twenty-five pages of new content. That's page after page after page of laugh-out-loud dumb jokes, dumb jocks, toasts, pranks, kings, kittens, caboodles, and, of course, poorly translated kung fu movie subtitles such as "It took my seven digestive pills to dissolve your hairy crab!" So whether you like your humor witty or witless, light or dark, silly or sublime, you'll laugh until your head explodes. Chortle at...Dumb crooks: The robber who ran face-first into a wall because he forgot to poke eye holes in his pillowcase. Witty wordplay: If Snoop Dogg were to marry Winnie-the-Pooh, his name would become Snoop Dogg Pooh.Flubbed headlines: "British Left Waffles On House Floor" Quirky stars: Billy Idol's concert rider demands he have one large tub of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter in his dressing room.Job lingo: If you hear an E.R. doc mention a "VIP," be on the lookout for a "very intoxicated patient."Sputtering sportscasters: "If only faces could talk." -Pat Summerall And much, much more!

Jandar, the alien lost in the mysterious and treacherous domain of the insidious Mind Wizards. Searching for him is a fearless armada of his loyal friends, and a stranger who knows him better than anyone on Callisto. The stranger, Lankar, is none other than Lin Carter, accidentally transported through the Gate Between the Worlds to the land of the Thanatorians. Aware of Jandar's plight, Lankar joins the search beyond the world's edge and suddenly finds himself savagely battling for his own existence against the most nightmarish creatures on the planet — the gruesome flesh robots of Kuur and the fiendish Mind Wizards of Callisto themselves... Lin Carter (1930-1988) was a noted American fantasy and science fiction author, anthologist, and critic who wrote over fifty novels, compiled over 25 anthologies, and authored multiple critical studies of the science fiction and fantasy genres. Best known for his Callisto and Thongor series of novels, Carter made a name for himself as a latter-day pulp author, imitating the successful adventure tale formulas made fashionable by earlier writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan of the Apes; The Mars/Barsoom series), Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian), and Lester Dent (Doc Savage). Carter helped to popularize fantasy and science fiction not just through his own stories, but by anthologizing and promoting the works of many authors who would eventually become famous and influential in their own right.

E. E. Cummings (1894-1962) var en av forrige århundres mest særpregede amerikanske poeter, på samme tid sentral og i en slags outsiderposisjon. Han var en eksperimentator og avantgardist som svingte fra det ordinære til det geniale i sin produksjon, og som mot slutten av livet opplevde å nå ut til et bredt publikum. Emnekretsen hans er mangfoldig, men han var blant annet i stand til noe som ofte sies å være vanskelig, nemlig også å skrive fint om de lyse og gledefylte tingene i livet. To yndlingstemaer gjennom hele forfatterskapet er således våren og kjærligheten. Dette er den første bredt anlagte presentasjonen av E. E. Cummings på norsk. Arne Østring står for utvalget og gjendiktningene. Anmeldelser:"Cummings for deg og meg." Hans H. Skei, Aftenposten Les hele anmeldelsen "Cummings' tekster er rige på finurligheder - de er både tankevækkende, rørende og morsomme" Martin Deichmann, AfsnitP.dk Terningkast 6 "Et hull i norsk oversatt litteratur er fylt. Dessuten har diktene fortsatt aktualitet." Kjell Eriksson, Sarpsborg Arbeiderblad Les hele anmeldelsen
