  • Science Fiction and Astronomy

    Science Fiction and Astronomy

    Sci Fi Science Fiction and Astronomy Many science fiction books include subjects of astronomical interest. Here is a list of some that have been recommended to me or I’ve read. I expect that most are not in the University library but many are available in Kindle and other e-formats. At the top of my list is a URL to a much longer list by Andrew Fraknoi of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Each title in his list has a very brief summary indicating the kind of story it is. Andrew Fraknoi’s list (http://www.astrosociety.org/education/resources/scifi.html). Gregory Benford is a plasma physicist who has been rated by some as one of the finest observes and interpreters of science in modern fiction. Note: Timescape [Vista, ISBN 0575600500] In the Ocean of Night [Vista, ISBN 0575600357] Across the Sea of Suns [Vista, ISBN 0575600551] Great Sky River [Gallancy, ISBN 0575058315] Eater and over 2 dozen more available as e-books. Stephen Baxter Titan [Voyager, 1997, ISBN 0002254247] has been strongly recommended by New Scientist as a tense, near future, thriller you shouldn’t miss. David Brin has a PhD in astrophysics with which he brings real understanding of the Universe to his stories. The Crystal Spheres won an award. Fred Hoyle is probably the most famous astronomer to have written science fiction. The Back Cloud [Macmillan, ISBN 0333556011] is his classic, followed by A for Andromeda. Try also October the First is too late. Larry Niven’s stories include plenty of ideas inspired by modern astronomy.
  • The Founder Effect

    The Founder Effect

    Baen Books Teacher Guide: The Founder Effect Contents: o recommended reading levels o initial information about the anthology o short stories grouped by themes o guides to each short story including the following: o author’s biography as taken from the book itself o selected vocabulary words o content warnings (if any) o short summary o selected short assessment questions o suggested discussion questions and activities Recommended reading level: The Founder Effect is most appropriate for an adult audience; classroom use is recommended at a level no lower than late high school. Background: Published in 2020 by Baen Books, The Founder Effect tackles the lens of history on its subjects—both in their own words and in those of history. Each story in the anthology tells a different part of the same world’s history, from the colonization project to its settlement to its tragic losses. The prologue provides a key to the whole book, serving as an introduction to the fictitious encyclopedia and textbook entries which accompany each short story. Editors’ biographies: Robert E. Hampson, Ph.D., turns science fiction into science in his day job, and puts the science into science fiction in his spare time. Dr. Hampson is a Professor of Physiology / Pharmacology and Neurology with over thirty-five years’ experience in animal neuroscience and human neurology. His professional work includes more than one hundred peer-reviewed research articles ranging from the pharmacology of memory to the first report of a “neural prosthetic” to restore human memory using the brain’s own neural codes. He consults with authors to put the “hard” science in “Hard SF” and has written both fiction and nonfiction for Baen Books.

    Session 13 Learning from SF Väätänen

    Worldcon 75 Academic Track Session 13: Learning from SF Saturday 10:00-11:30 Room 209 Chair: Päivi Väätänen Abstract 1: Nick Falkner (University of Adelaide, Australia): Design Fiction for Education: Driving Reinterpretation of Educational Challenges in the Present through the Construction of Working Futures in Speculative Fiction [email protected] Design fiction, a term coined by Julian Bleecker of Near Future Laboratory and popularised by Bruce Sterling, is "the deliberate use of diegetic prototypes to suspend disbelief about change." To identify areas of change, we must be able to correctly perceive those elements that require change and, after Shklovsky, we must fight habitualisation and defamiliarise elements that we would otherwise overlook. The representation of education is an important part of world building and story telling, yet many examples of education are habitualised stereotype: bored students, 19th century classroom or recitative teaching machine, all combining to provide a backdrop that is glanced over. There are examples in fiction of innovative educational practices that mirror the best 21st century pedagogical practice but these are not commonplace. While few people will pick up and read papers on pedagogy, speculative fiction can provide elements for readers that will influence the community to accept the new directions in education that are often challenged by parents, students, and teachers as not being “real education”. What we often call “real education” is merely the comfortable habitual framework of tradition and educational researchers are well aware that tradition is not necessarily a guide to the best educational practices. Computer scientists and engineers are increasingly required to consider defamiliarisation as a tool for constructing new and innovative devices and software (after Genevieve Bell et al’s “Making by Making Strange”, ACM Transactions on Computer- Human Interaction, 2005).

Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

However, we had our usual small total of about 10 trick or treaters, so it was a relaxing night. The next day, after going to the YMCA in the morning, we had a quick lunch at a diner (which used to be as prevalent in New Jersey as mushrooms in a field, but recently have diminished to one every few towns) followed by a ride to Newark Airport to pick up Mark and Kate who flew back from a week at Disney World. They had a good week there, climaxed by a huge Halloween party at the Magic Kingdom so that they came home with two huge bags filled with candy. November is the month of the Indian Culture Club’s annual Family Diwali Dinner, and it was very successful. The officers did a good job planning it, the families brought lots of food, and everybody enjoyed themselves.
