Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have") and a galaxy-full of fellow travellers: Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two- headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years.

  • The Chrysalids
    The Chrysalids Introduction to the Author John Wyndham was born in England, on July 10, 1903. When he was growing up, he went to a series of boarding schools because his parents were separated. He then attended an advanced co- educational school until he reached the age of eighteen. After he left school, Wyndham studied farming for a while, then "crammed" to write the examinations for Oxford University. Finally, in 1929, Wyndham picked up a copy of an American magazine called Amazing Stories, and became very interested in science fiction. Not long after that a series of stories under the name of John Beynon began to appear in Amazing Stories, and in another publication called Wonder Stories. He wrote English science fiction stories under the names "John Beynon Harris," "John Beynon," and "Lucas Parkes," as well as John Wyndham. By 1937, he was being called the best living British science fiction writer. Wyndham's work in science fiction is interesting in its emphasis. He does not generally concentrate on amusing the reader with strange inventions of technology from a bewildering future. The settings he employs for the future are logical, identifiable extensions of the world of today. His consuming interest lies in speculation about human nature and human behaviour. This would account for his attention to customs and moral codes displayed in the different societies in his books. Thus, time and again he points out the hypocrisy, bigotry and ignorance which are so often a part of our social life, and he stresses that changing conditions demand new ways, new customs and new codes of conduct.

  • Horrible Science World Presents
    Horrible Science World Presents: Excellent Experiments and Awesome Activities. The following experiments and activities are taken from the ‘Horrible Science’ series of books published by Scholastic, and are divided into the different Zones that the character Billy Miller visits in the Birmingham Stage Company play ‘Horrible Science’. The journey Billy goes on through Horrible Science World in order to understand science is a good way of introducing the subject of scientific enquiry. Only by developing his knowledge, skills and understanding is Billy able to survive Horrible Science World and save the day. This often involves investigation and trying things out (eg: pushing the button before pulling the lever to control gravity in the Gravitarium) and collaboration (Eg: Billy and the scientists working together to make a circuit.) This is further underlined by the involvement of the audience throughout the play – he needs our help as co-collaborators and co-learners if he’s going to triumph. Links can be made across the scenes in the play to encourage creative thinking (Eg1: the fact that bacteria live inside us is introduced by the Big Bacteria, and then picked up again in Frankenstein’s Lab, as the reason we get stomach gas. Eg2: metal being a good conductor and used in the circuit in Act 1 makes it a potentially dangerous material inside the Thuderdome) The activities and experiments for each zone contain an introduction suggesting further links with the play, and suggestions for how they could be used in helping pupils discover more behind the science in the story.

    This book contains the complete text of the hardcover edition. Spelling is British and mistakes by publisher are left in. HAILED AS THE GREATEST SCIENCE-FICTION MASTERPIECE OF OUR TIME The Day of The Triffids by John Wyndham THE END BEGINS When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere. I felt that from the moment I woke. And yet, when I started functioning a little more smartly, I became doubtful. After all, the odds were that it was I who was wrong, and not everyone else-though I did not see how that could be. I went on waiting, tinged with doubt. But presently I had my first bit of objective evidence-a distant clock stuck what sounded to me just like eight. I listened hard and suspiciously. Soon another clock began, on a hard, decisive note. In a leisurely fashion it gave an indisputable eight. Then I knew things were awry. The way I came to miss the end of the world-well, the end of the world I had known for close on thirty years-was sheer accident: like a lot of survival, when you come to think of it. In the nature of things a good many somebodies are always in hospital, and the law of averages had picked on me to be one of them a week or so before. It might just as easily have been the week before that-in which case I'd not be writing now: I'd not be here at all.
