From transporters to fully functioning androids, science fiction expands our imaginations, spurring us to think about what the future might hold. But what would it take to bring this fictional technology to fruition? Here, in an irresistible analysis, is the real science behind 25 inventions from the most popular sci-fi movies and TV series, presented by Rob Pyle, a NASA insider.

by Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo Asterix takes off to Greece to compete in the Olympic Games - and show up the Romans - in Asterix at the Olympic Games. Then in Asterix and the Laurel Wreath, Chief Vitalastatistix has rashly bet his brother-in-law, the infuriating show-off Homeopathix, that he can get ahold of Caesar's laurel wreath to season a stew. Of course it's now up to Astrix and Obelix to go to Rome, find the wreath, and bring it back for the promised dinner. Can they save Vitalastatistix's honor?

'I was filled with a terrible, single purpose ... to survive!' First serialized a century ago as Under the Moons of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs's planetary romance is recognized today as a genre-bending pulp-fiction classic, more influential even than the Tarzan stories that earned its author fortune and fame. Perhaps the founding text of modern sci-fi, its doomed love story (between the heroic explorer John Carter and Dejah Thoris, 'The Princess of Mars') was the first to imagine the 'green men of the Red Planet!

Each book will feature: Illustrated cast of characters A helpful plot summary Line-by-line translations of the original play Illustrations that show the reader exactly what's happening in each scene-making the plot and characters even clearer than in the original No Fear Shakespeare books (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Tony Allan Dragons and firebirds, fairies and orcs - these are just a few of the residents of The Mythic Bestiary. A whole menagerie of make-believe beings from the earth, water, and air inhabit these stunningly written and eye-catching pages, from Japan's Yukki-onna, a beautiful but deadly spirit who appeared to stranded travelers, to the two-headed venomous snake Amphisbaena, which hailed from the imagination of the Greek poet Nicander. Many are hybrids such as the Quetzalcoatl, the Aztecs' gorgeous combination of serpent and bird; others, more monstrous, tested the mettle of ancient heroes. This guide gives not only a taxonomy of size, appearance, habitat, and powers, but also provides vivid descriptions of the cultures that produced them.
