  • Librarian As Fair Witness: a Comparison of Heinlein's Futuristic
    LIBRES Library and Information Science Research Electronic Journal Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2011 Librarian as Fair Witness: A Comparison of Heinlein’s Futuristic Occupation and Today’s Evolving Information Professional Julie M. Still Paul Robeson Library Rutgers University Camden, NJ [email protected] There has been a continuing discussion in library literature on the library as place and on the image of librarians in popular media, but there is little information on the librarian as person. The discussion on librarianship as a profession tends to focus on technology and not so much the people, other than the people skills needed in reference or teaching skills needed for instruction. The worth of the individual librarian tends to get lost in the shuffle. Before we disappear into the machine, it is useful to look at other future scenarios and similar occupations, either reality based or fiction. In this particular case, it is interesting to compare librarians to those in an occupation created by a renowned science fiction author. Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, his most famous and most controversial novel, is a science fiction classic. The science fiction community recognized it with a Hugo Award, and the book was the first science fiction title to be on the New York Times bestseller list (Stover, 1987, p. 45). Heinlein outlined the novel in 1949 and finished the first draft in 1955 but on the advice of his wife set it aside. It was not published until 1961. The manuscript was edited heavily and an uncut version was published in 1991.

For us, dyeing is a cosmic adventure — a wonderful process of mixing each colour by hand and seeing where it takes us. The result is yarn that is as exciting for you as it is for us. We want you to feel welcome. And we really mean that! Open NOW! Reopens in Oct Re-Opens Dec Why SpaceCadet? It was always said with love, tinged with exasperation. There was a Space Cadet of Space Cadet in the house while I was growing up, but I also did a Space Cadet of dumb things. Eventually the nickname started to stick, and I began to feel like I really was a space cadet. Sometimes I still do. I would baptise that nickname with a whole new meaning. I love what I do. I love creating colours, creating yarns, and giving my customers something beautiful to feed their creative juices. And so I can say, at last, that I am truly proud to be the SpaceCadet. Stephanie has been fascinated by fiber ever since she first took spinning lessons at the age of She taught herself to knit at 19, went back to spinning and actually got the hang of it ten years later and, along the way, picked up a bit Space Cadet experience in weaving, a smidge of crochet, and a degree in Textiles and Clothing.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Day After Tomorrow by Robert A. Heinlein Sixth Column (The Day After Tomorrow) by Robert A
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Day After Tomorrow by Robert A. Heinlein Sixth Column (The Day After Tomorrow) by Robert A. Heinlein. Published 1949. Originally published as The Day After Tomorrow by Anson McDonald in Astounding Magazine , (later Analog ),1941. 241 pages (from the Virginia Heinlein edition, based on the 1949 Gnome Press hardback.) Review by Mark Yon. Here’s one of my occasional re-reads of Robert Anson Heinlein’s novels. This one is what they call ‘a fixup’, originally being in three parts in the January, February and March editions of Astounding Magazine , under the editorial tuition of John W. Campbell. It became a slightly revised novel in 1949, with the author’s real name rather than his pseudonym, and a little tidying up. Putting it in the context of Heinlein’s other writing, it was published as a novel after his juvenile book Red Planet and before Farmer in the Sky . As written by Anson McDonald, however, it was not written with the intention of being for the juvenile market, but as something more adult. I found it less satisfying than Red Planet and Farmer in the Sky , its adult voice both uncertain and unreal. It reflects the fact that it was written before Heinlein had had any novels published, and seems a little wobbly both in its concept and its delivery: something which would become much less noticeable as Heinlein becomes more confident in later writing. This lack of success may also be partly due to the fact that Sixth Column was based upon an idea given to Heinlein from Campbell, the only major work of Heinlein’s career to be plotted by someone else.

This excerpt is from the final press version of the book, and the numbering scheme herein can be considered final. Any updates or changes to this list will use the addendum numbering described on the second page. ©1996–2000 James Gifford. All Rights Reserved. May be duplicated and quoted from according to the terms described in “Reproduction & Use of the Hew Heinlein Opus List” within. The author may be contacted at: [email protected] www.nitrosyncretic.com Nitrosyncretic Press PO Box 4313, Citrus Heights, CA 95611 916-723-4765 voice & fax The New Heinlein Opus List This section presents a complete listing of every known work by Robert A. Heinlein, in the order of creation. Each work is prefaced by a unique identify- ing number, the New Heinlein Opus Number. These numbers, in the format ‘G.nnn,’ have been used throughout this book to identify the work in ques- tion. These numbers have not been used previously for Heinlein’s works. Those readers who are familiar with Heinlein’s opus list may wonder why I did not use Heinlein’s own numbers for these works. The answer is simple: Heinlein’s list was developed and maintained as the core of a filing system for the business management of his works. It was not created until about 1948, with the number of existing works approaching three digits. It is neither complete nor completely accurate in its numbering: there are minor works that do not appear on it, as well as some works that appear out of sequence.

  • Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land and the Church of All
    Science Fiction as Scripture: Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land and the Church of All Worlds1 Carole M. Cusack Introduction ‘Scripture’ is a term used to refer to the sacred writings of religious groups, for example the Bible in Christianity, the Qur’an in Islam and the Vedas in Hinduism. The etymology of scripture derives from the Latin scriptura, the past participle stem of scribere, ‘to write’.2 This may have had particular significance in past societies where only the most important, authoritative narratives were written down; in an age of mass literacy such as the twenty- first century, potentially all writings are scripture. From the mid-twentieth century Western culture experienced a sharp increase in new religious movements (NRMs), some of which were generated within the West, while others were imported from the other cultures, chiefly the East (India, Tibet, and Japan in particular). Most of these new religions possessed scriptures, generally the writings of founders (for example, Sun Myung Moon’s Divine Principle for the Unification Church, and Dianetics and other books by L. Ron Hubbard, within the Church of Scientology). This paper investigates how Robert A. Heinlein’s bestselling science fiction novel, Stranger in an Strange Land (1961, reissued ‘uncut’ in 1991), became the foundational scripture of the Church of All Worlds (CAW), a Gaia-oriented Pagan religion founded in 1962 by two American college students, Tim Zell (b. 1942) and (Richard) Lance Christie (b. 1944) who met at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri, and became fast friends. The Church of All Worlds, registered as a religion in the United States in 1968 and now a significant presence in the contemporary Pagan revival, takes its name from the fictional church in Heinlein’s novel.

    The American Alien: Immigrants, Expatriates and Extraterrestrials in Twentieth-Century U.S. Fiction A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Ph.D. in English By JOSEPH B. SCOTT Andrew Hoberek, Dissertation Supervisor MAY 2012 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled The American Alien: Immigrants, Expatriates and Extraterrestrials in Twentieth-Century U.S. Fiction Presented by Joseph B. Scott a candidate for the degree of doctor of philosophy, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor Andrew Hoberek Professor Karen Piper Professor Noah Heringman Professor Kristin Kopp ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andrew Hoberek, Karen Piper, Noah Heringman and Kristin Kopp for their careful responses to the current work, their insightful suggestions, and their generosity with their time. This dissertation has been shaped, extended, trimmed, and otherwise improved by their suggestions. In particular, Dr. Hoberek has been a part of the project from its inception, and his erudition, as well as his skill at identifying the best way to expand upon and make explicit the implicit connections between this work’s far-flung texts, has been invaluable. Karen Piper read an early version of this project as a seminar paper for her seminar in postcolonial theory, so it benefitted from her comments even in its first stage. Noah Heringman’s expertise in conceptions of the environment, as well as Kristin Kopp’s in the history of colonialism, have also been extremely helpful.

  • Strangers in a Strange Land a Sermon Offered at Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist by the Reverend Hilary Landau Krivchenia on May 3, 2009
    Strangers In a Strange Land A sermon offered at Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist By The Reverend Hilary Landau Krivchenia On May 3, 2009 And I will name him Gershom, for I was a stranger in a strange land… Exodus 2:22 Stranger in a Strange Land Page 1 of 6 Readings Valentine Michael Smith, from Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein: We're not trying to bring people to God; that's a contradiction in terms, you can't even say it in Martian. We're not trying to save souls, because souls can't be lost. We're not trying to get people to have faith, because what we offer is not faith but truth — truth they can check; we don't urge them to believe it. Truth for practical purposes, for here- and-now, truth as matter of fact as an ironing board and as useful as a loaf of bread… so practical that it can make war and hunger and violence and hate as unnecessary as…. as — well, as clothes here in the Nest. But they have to learn Martian first. That's the only hitch — finding people who are honest enough to believe what they see, and then are willing to do the hard work — it is hard work — of learning the language it can be taught in. A composer couldn't possibly write down a symphony in English… and this sort of symphony can't be stated in English any more than Beethoven's Fifth can be. Also from Stranger in A Strange Land Valentine Michael Smith, the Man From Mars Said: I am beginning to wonder if … I am on the wrong track entirely — that this race must be split up, hating each other, fighting each other, constantly unhappy and at war even with their own individual selves… simply to have that weeding out that every race must have.

  • Stranger in a Strange Land” by Robert Heinlein
    “Stranger In A Strange Land” by Robert Heinlein NOTICE: All men, gods; and planets in this story are imaginary, Any coincidence of names is regretted. Part One HIS MACULATE ORIGIN, 5 Fart Two HIS PREPOSTEROUS HERITAGE, 81 Fart Three HIS ECCENTRIC EDUCATION, 261 Part Four HIS SCANDALOUS CAREER, 363 Part Five HIS HAPPY DESTINY, 425 Preface IF YOU THINK that this book appears to be thicker and contain more words than you found in the first published edition of Stranger in a Strange Land, your observation is correct. This edition is the original one-the way Robert Heinlein first conceived it, and put it down on paper. The earlier edition contained a few words over 160,000, while this one runs around 220,000 words. Robert's manuscript copy usually contained about 250 to 300 words per page, depending on the amount of dialogue on the pages. So, taking an average of about 275 words, with the manuscript running 800 pages, we get a total of 220,000 words, perhaps a bit more. This book was so different from what was being sold to the general public, or to the science fiction reading public in 1961 when it was published, that the editors required some cutting and removal of a few scenes that might then have been offensive to public taste. The November 1948 issue of Astounding Science Fiction contained a letter to the editor suggesting titles for the issue of a year hence. Among the titles was to be a story by Robert A. Heinlein-"Gulf." In a long conversation between that editor, John W.
