Hominids
ISBN: 9780765392343 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Robert Sawyer's SF novels are perennial nominees for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, or both. Clearly, he must be doing something right since each one has been something new and different. What they do have in common is imaginative originality, great stories, and unique scientific extrapolation. His latest is no exception. Hominids is a strong, stand-alone SF novel, but it's also the first book of The Neanderthal Parallax, a trilogy that will examine two unique species of people. They are alien to each other, yet bound together by the never-ending quest for knowledge... Robert Sawyer's SF novels are perennial nominees for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, or both.

Marlowe and Shakespeare: The Critical Rivalry
ISBN: 9781349952267 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Instead of asserting any alleged rivalry between Marlowe and Shakespeare, Sawyer examines the literary reception of the two when the writers are placed in tandem during critical discourse or artistic production. Focusing on specific examples from the last 400 years, the study begins with Robert Green's comments in 1592 and ends with the post-9/11 and 7/7 era. The study not only looks at literary critics and their assessments, but also at playwrights such as Aphra Behn, novelists such as Anthony Burgess, and late twentieth-century movie and theatre directors. The work concludes by... Instead of asserting any alleged rivalry between Marlowe and Shakespeare, Sawyer examines the literary reception of the two when the writers are pl... |

Calculating God
ISBN: 9780765322890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges and says, in perfect English, "Take me to a paleontologist." In the distant past, Earth, the alien's home planet, and the home planet of another alien species, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at the same time (one example: the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs). Both alien races believe this proves the existence of God: i.e., he's obviously been playing with the evolution of life on each of these planets. From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells...
