From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years. What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . . Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth. A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.

This volume weaves together the Scottish otter stories from Gavin Maxwell's three non-fiction books, Ring of Bright Water (1960), The Rocks Remain (1963), and Raven Meet Thy Brother (1969). Maxwell was both an extraordinarily evocative writer and a highly unusual man. While touring the Iraqi marshes, he was captivated by an otter and became a devoted advocate of and spokesman for the species. He moved to a remote house in the Scottish highlands, co-habiting there with three otters and living an idyllic and isolated life – at least for a while. Fate, fame, and fire conspired against this paradise, and it, too, came to an end, though the journey was filled with incident and wonder. Maxwell was also talented as an artist, and his sinuous line drawings of these amphibious and engaging creatures, and the homes they occupied, illustrate his story. This book stands as a lasting tribute to a man, his work, and his passion. It was received and has endured as a classic for its portrait not only of otters but also of a man who endured heartaches and disappointments, whose life embodied both greatness and tragedy. He writes with rare eloquence about his birth, his devotion to the beloved Scottish highlands, and the wildlife he loved, while refusing to ignore the darker aspects of his nature and of nature in its larger sense.

Between the cobblestones, il lupa waited alone, whispered, "Renew your love. Restore your heart. Come into this wide world, this stream of clarity." The mysteries of the heart continue to intrigue, surprise, and warm the soul of Sophia Puccini-a woman who once dreamed of marrying The Gypsy Kings and running away with flamenco dancers. In her second collection of love poems, Puccini shares her reflections on love written in both the United States and Italy during a three-year period. Puccini has loved many men in her lifetime, including Nietzsche, Kafka, Thoreau, Krishnamurti, Jung, Lorca, Jesus, Cervantes, God, Puccini, Chopin-and even President Bush. In her new compilation of eighty-eight poems, written while she was tending her sheep, sweeping her floors, and traveling in Europe, she proves that through it all, she is still a simple woman who enjoys daydreaming about love. Puccini peppers her poetry with lavish imagery while her words explore a passionate relationship that led her to ask questions, solve dilemmas, and eventually seek the truth. Il Lupa is not a collection of clichéd love poems, but rather, a deep, personal glimpse into a very profound-sometimes confusing-sensual relationship.
