Before Star Trek, there was Space Patrol. Science fiction television has its roots in this live, action-packed series that captured the imagination of Americans from 1950 to 1955, when space travel was just a dream. This book explores the freewheeling spirit of live TV, where anything could go wrong before millions of viewers—and often did. It spotlights (often in personal interviews) the risk-taking Space Patrol cast and crew who laid vital groundwork for television today. Included are episode logs for both television and radio shows as well as a complete guide to Space Patrol memorabilia.

Like an underground river, the astonishing poems of Joseph Ceravolo have nurtured American poetry for fifty years, a presence deeply felt but largely invisible. Collected Poems offers the first full portrait of Ceravolo’s aesthetic trajectory, bringing to light the highly original voice that was operating at an increasing remove from the currents of the time. From a poetics associated with Frank O’Hara and John Ashbery to an ever more contemplative, deeply visionary poetics similar in sensibility to Zen and Dante, William Blake and St. John of the Cross, this collection shows how Ceravolo’s poetry takes on a direct, quiet lyricism: intensely dedicated to the natural and spiritual life of the individual. As Ron Silliman notes, Ceravolo’s later work reveals him to be “one of the most emotionally open, vulnerable and self-knowing poets of his generation.” Many new pieces, including the masterful long poem “The Hellgate,” are published here for the first time. This volume is a landmark edition for American poetry, and includes an introduction by David Lehman.

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Handbook by Alan G. Frank Pdf
This book is a comprehensive and detailed guide to a genre of enduring popular appeal. Several hundred films are covered in entries that provide technical credits and cast lists, a plot synopsis, and a quotation from a contemporary reviewócomplimentary or otherwise. The films are illustrated by over 200 stills. More than 50 biographies of movie personalities, including performers, directors, producers, and writers, are supplied. In addition, the author has written a series of short essays on major themes in science fiction and fantasy films.
Filmmakers employ various images to suggest the strangeness of outer space, but protective spacesuits most powerfully communicate its dangers and the frailty of humans beyond the cradle of Earth. (Many films set in space, however, forgo spacesuits altogether, reluctant to hide famous faces behind bulky helmets and ill-fitting jumpsuits.) This critical history comprehensively examines science fiction films that portray space travel realistically (and sometimes not quite so) by having characters wear spacesuits. Beginning [A] with the pioneering Himmelskibet (1918) and Woman on the Moon (1929), it discusses [B] other classics in this tradition, including Destination Moon (1950), Riders to the Stars (1954), and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968); [C] films that gesture toward realism but betray that goal with melodramatic villains, low comedy, or improbable monsters; [D] the distinctive spacesuit films of Western Europe, Russia and Japan; and [E] America's spectacular real-life spacesuit film, the televised Apollo 11 moon landing (1969).

Earth has a deadline. In forty-five days, a rogue planet called Planet X is due to pass near Earth. Scientists have discovered that every 4600 years, Planet X returns on its elliptical, comet-like orbit around the sun. As Planet X passes near Earth, it will create a disastrous event of Biblical proportions, the end of the world as we know it. Due to Planet X's mass, magnetism, and density, it will disrupt the surface of every planet it encounters, and as it nears Earth, it will create a massive polar shift. Every known volcano, both active and dormant, will erupt, creating devastating planetary earthquakes. Seventy-five percent of Earth's population will die initially. Another twenty percent will starve to death as volcanic ash covers the Earth and blocks out sunlight for the next nine months. The few million people who are still alive will only survive by eating the sick, weak, and dying's flesh. Unless something is done, in forty-five days, most of the human race will vanish from the face of the Earth.
