This collection of essays displays the talent and insight that make the Panshins the obvious and worthy successors to Damon Knight and James Blish in the field of science fiction and fantasy criticism. The Panshins document the evolution of a new and fruitful paradigm and offer a challenge to all conventional opinion about science fiction. They demonstrate that the conception of science fiction as fiction about science was fatally compromised from the outset. They trace the continuity of science fiction with man's most ancient and meaningful stories, the great fantasy of the past, and find this continuity in symbols of transcendent mystery. Nearly half of this book is devoted to studying the works of Robert Heinlein, extending and reconsidering the analysis begun in Heinlein in Dimension, and concluding with a long discussion of "The Number of the Beast--." The Panshin team applies theories of human psychological development to show the deeper meanings of the stories of Heinlein and other authors. They say: "In the mirror of a science fiction story may be seen a reflection of the author. In the mirror of science fiction stories may be seen a reflection of an era. And in our reading of science fiction--the stories we choose and what we make of them--may be seen a reflection of ourselves. We read science fiction to know ourselves better."

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Takes off with a bang—literally...V. I. remains a paragon among PIs, and Fire Sale is one of Paretsky’s best books yet.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch A conscience can weigh a PI down more than the heaviest firearm—and get her into more trouble too. It’s that nagging conscience that makes V. I. Warshawski agree to fill in as coach for the girls’ basketball team at her South Chicago alma mater—which in turn leads her to the headquarters of By-Smart, the global retail empire where V. I. hopes to get some desperately needed funds for the struggling squad. But conscience seems to be in short supply at By-Smart...with the exception of Billy Bysen, the earnest teenage grandson of the chain’s gruff, tightfisted founder. And when Billy disappears—along with a mysterious document much desired by By-Smart’s management team—V. I. is hurled onto a twisted, body-strewn path that runs through Chicago’s dirtiest places and reveals some of its dirtiest secrets...

"Childhood on Fire: My Journey from the Hell of Baltimore to High Water," is a true story based on events that happened in Talisha's life. It is a gritty, harrowing tale of how she endured and prevailed over heinous acts and unspeakable atrocities, challenging Talisha to change her life in ways she never thought would otherwise be possible. This is a remarkable story of tragic loss and incredible redemption, one in which Talisha conquered her past, and now lives in a way where she is far more at the cause of her experience rather than at its mercy. Talisha believes that hardships for most people are part of life, but for some, these tests can seem monumental and insurmountable when viewed through the narrow and unenlightened lens of childhood. Talisha was separated from her mother while still only in grade school, abandoned by her birth family, placed in foster care, and ultimately raised in a brutally unsympathetic environment far from the home she once knew. Throughout her early years, Talisha dealt with separation anxiety, codependence, dissociative identity disorder, and a string of bad relationships, all arising from the severe, repetitive, and soul-numbing effects of living with damaged, dysfunctional people and succumbing to the trials and tribulations that most others have been fortunate to avoid. Wrenching disillusionment and overt abuse were Talisha's constant companions, and it would not be until her early thirties that she realized her world was ablaze. Talisha had suffocated in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual anguish, and was near physical death on the night that she contemplated suicide. Like all of us, though, this brave girl had a choice: choose life or end life, and Talisha chose to not only keep going, but to embrace the pain with open arms and acknowledge the harm it had done. Talisha stared unflinchingly at the full-length film of her years of suffering and decided that very day that it all stopped here and now. She went through a remarkable transformation, a rebirthing experience that healed that little girl trapped inside her, and when she did, Talisha resurfaced as a refined, sharp, and powerful woman. Enjoy this book, but more importantly, take its lessons and become the best version of yourself, starting today.

FINALIST -- The National Jewish Book Award In this deeply personal journey of discovery, Ami Ayalon seeks input and perspective from Palestinians and Israelis whose experiences differ from his own. As head of the Shin Bet security agency, he gained empathy for "the enemy" and learned that when Israel carries out anti-terrorist operations in a political context of hopelessness, the Palestinian public will support violence, because they have nothing to lose. Researching and writing Friendly Fire, he came to understand that his patriotic life had blinded him to the self-defeating nature of policies that have undermined Israel's civil society while heaping humiliation upon its Palestinian neighbors. "If Israel becomes an Orwellian dystopia," Ayalon writes, "it won't be thanks to a handful of theologians dragging us into the dark past. The secular majority will lead us there motivated by fear and propelled by silence." Ayalon is a realist, not an idealist, and many who consider themselves Zionists will regard as radical his conclusions about what Israel must do to achieve relative peace and security and to sustain itself as a Jewish homeland and a liberal democracy.
