  • The Apocalyptic Book List
    The Apocalyptic Book List Presented by: The Post Apocalyptic Forge Compiled by: Paul Williams ([email protected]) As with other lists compiled by me, this list contains material that is not strictly apocalyptic or post apocalyptic, but that may contain elements that have that fresh roasted apocalyptic feel. Because I have not read every single title here and have relied on other peoples input, you may on occasion find a title that is not appropriate for the intended genre....please do let me know and I will remove it, just as if you find a title that needs to be added...that is appreciated as well. At the end of the main book list you will find lists for select series of books. Title Author 8.4 Peter Hernon 905 Tom Pane 2011, The Evacuation of Planet Earth G.

  • 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.
