TIME TRAVEL IS THE ULTIMATE DO-OVER. It’s funny how second chances usually wind up being just another opportunity to make the same mistakes, though. The authors represented in the collection you now hold were tasked to create grim and gritty tales of time travel gone horribly wrong. They have done so, in some wildly varied ways. There are stories of rare and exceptional beauty; stories of dark, otherworldly horror; stories of white-knuckle thrills and even some that will make you laugh out loud. In fact, if you pay close attention, in at least one of these adventures, you’ll realize that no time travel at all ever takes place. All of them will take you places--and times--you’ve yet to be, and make you think about the experience.

The war between man and machine reaches its shattering conclusion, with John Connor and his mother, Sarah, caught in the middle of a fierce battle holds the survival of two worlds at stake. Original.

From the country that has added to our vocabulary such colorful terms as "purges," "pogroms," and "gulag," this collection investigates the conspicuous marks of violence in Russian history and culture. Russians and non-Russians alike have long debated the reasons for this endemic violence. Some have cited Russia's huge size, unforgiving climate, and exposed geographical position as formative in its national character, making invasion easy and order difficult. Others have fixed the blame on cultural and religious traditions that spurred internecine violence or on despotic rulers or unfortunate episodes in the nation's history, such as the Mongol invasion, the rule of Ivan the Terrible, or the "Red Terror" of the revolution. Even in contemporary Russia, the specter of violence continues, from widespread mistreatment of women to racial antagonism, the product of a frustrated nationalism that manifests itself in such phenomena as the wars in Chechnya. Times of Trouble is the first in English to explore the problem of violence in Russia. From a variety of perspectives, essays investigate Russian history as well as depictions of violence in the visual arts and in literature, including the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Isaac Babel, Mikhail Lermontov, and Nina Sadur. From the Mongol invasion to the present day, topics include the gulag, genocide, violence against women, anti-Semitism, and terrorism as a tool of revolution.

This book is to help you get through life situations.
