    What Is A LEGEND Adventure Game? In an adventure game from Legend, you become the main character in an evolving story that takes place in a world populated with interesting people, places, and things. You see this world through your main character's eyes, and you play the game by directing his actions. Like a book or a movie, the story unfolds as you travel from place to place, encountering situations which require action on your part. You can think of each of these situations as a puzzle. The key to solving these puzzles will often be creative thinking and clever use of objects you have picked up in your travels. You will get points as you solve puzzles, and your score will help you monitor your progress. Throughout the game the richly textured graphics, prose, and music will draw you into a spellbinding adventure that could only be brought to you by the master storytellers of Legend Entertainment Company.

  • Frederik Pohl
    The Gateway Trip : Tales And Vignettes Of The Heechee Copyright (c) 1990 by Frederik Pohl There was a time, half a million years ago or so, when some new neighbors came into the vicinity of the Earth's solar system. They were eager to be friendly-that is, that was what they wanted to be, if they could find anyone around to be friends with. So one day they dropped in on the third planet of the system, the one we now know as Earth itself, to see who might be at home. It wasn't a good time to pay a call. Oh, there was plenty of life on Earth, no doubt of that. The planet crawled with the stuff. There were cave bears and saber-tooth cats and things like elephants and things like deer. There were snakes and fish and birds and crocodiles; and there were disease germs and scavengers; and there were forests and savannahs and vegetation of all kinds. But one element was conspicuously missing in the catalogue of terrestrial living creatures. That was a great pity, because that was the one quality the visitors were most anxious to find. What those visitors from space couldn't find anywhere on the planet was intelligence. It just hadn't been invented yet. The visitors sought it very diligently. The closest they could find to a being with what they were after was a furry little creature without language, fire, or social institutions-but which did, at least, have a few promising skills. (For instance, it could manage to crunch tools out of random bits of rock.) When modern humans came along and began tracing their evolutionary roots they would namd this particular brand of prehuman "Australopithecus." The visitors didn't call it anything in particular .

  • Some Quotable Quotes for Statistics
    Some Quotable Quotes for Statistics J. E. H. Shaw April 6, 2006 Abstract Well—mainly for statistics. This is a collection of over 2,000 quotations from the famous, (e.g., Hippocrates: ‘Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future’), the infamous (e.g., Stalin: ‘One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic’), and the cruelly neglected (modesty forbids. ). Such quotes help me to: • appeal to a higher authority (or simply to pass the buck), • liven up lecture notes (or any other equally bald and unconvincing narratives), • encourage lateral thinking (or indeed any thinking), and/or • be cute. I have been gathering these quotations for over twenty years, and am well aware that my personal collection needs rationalising and tidying! In particular, more detailed attributions with sources would be very welcome (but please no ‘I vaguely remember that the mth quote on page n was originally said by Winston Churchill/Benjamin Franklin/Groucho Marx/Dorothy Parker/Bertrand Russell/George Bernard Shaw/Mark Twain/Oscar Wilde/Steve Wright’.) If you use this collection substantially in any publication, then please give a reference to it, in the form: J.E.H. Shaw (2006). Some Quotable Quotes for Statistics. Downloadable from http://www.ewartshaw.co.uk/ Particular thanks to Peter Lee for tracking down ‘. damn quotes. ’ (see Courtney, Leonard Henry): http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/maths/histstat/courtney.htm. Other quote collections are given by Sahai (1979), Bibby (1983), Mackay (1977, 1991), and Gaither & Cavazos-Gaither (1996). Enjoy. Copyright c 1997–2006 by Ewart Shaw.

  • Some Very Good Science Fiction
    Some very good science fiction: • Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (followed by several more in the series) Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You'll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker's Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought­ provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow­ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and British sitcoms. • Isaac Asimov Asimov is best known for his ‘foundation’ series. if by some chance you haven't read those, read them now (see below). Nemesis When Eugenia Insigna of the Settlement Rotor, an independent space station, discovers an unknown red dwarf star two light years from Earth, she names it Nemesis. Led by Dr. Janus Pitt, Rotor and its population travel to the star to build a new, morally pure society. Insigna's daughter Marlene, who can read body language like a telepath, learns that Nemesis is moving dangerously close to Earth's solar system. After trying to communicate her knowledge, Marlene discovers that a conspiracy is suppressing it. Asimov is at his best when his characters discuss science and their schemes for saving Earth's people from destruction by Nemesis.
