English is the language of science today. No matter which languages you know, if you want your work seen, studied, and cited, you need to publish in English. But that hasn’t always been the case. Though there was a time when Latin dominated the field, for centuries science has been a polyglot enterprise, conducted in a number of languages whose importance waxed and waned over time—until the rise of English in the twentieth century. So how did we get from there to here? How did French, German, Latin, Russian, and even Esperanto give way to English? And what can we reconstruct of the experience of doing science in the polyglot past? With Scientific Babel, Michael D. Gordin resurrects that lost world, in part through an ingenious mechanism: the pages of his highly readable narrative account teem with footnotes—not offering background information, but presenting quoted material in its original language. The result is stunning: as we read about the rise and fall of languages, driven by politics, war, economics, and institutions, we actually see it happen in the ever-changing web of multilingual examples. The history of science, and of English as its dominant language, comes to life, and brings with it a new understanding not only of the frictions generated by a scientific community that spoke in many often mutually unintelligible voices, but also of the possibilities of the polyglot, and the losses that the dominance of English entails. Few historians of science write as well as Gordin, and Scientific Babel reveals his incredible command of the literature, language, and intellectual essence of science past and present. No reader who takes this linguistic journey with him will be disappointed.

H. Beam Piper is one of science fiction’s most enigmatic writers. In 1946 Piper appeared seemingly from out of nowhere, already at the top of his form. He published a number of memorable short stories in the premier science fiction magazine of the time, Astounding Science Fiction, under legendary editor John W. Campbell. Piper quickly became friends with many of the top writers of the day, including Lester Del Rey, Fletcher Pratt, Robert Heinlein and L. Sprague de Camp. Piper also successfully made the turn from promising short story writer to major novelist, authoring Four-Day Planet, Cosmic Computer, Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen and Little Fuzzy, which was nominated for a Hugo award. Even those who counted Piper among their friends knew very little about the man or his life as a railroad yard bull in Altoona, Pennsylvania. This biography illuminates H. Beam Piper, both the writer and the man, and answers lingering questions about his death. Appendices include a number of Piper’s personal papers, a complete bibliography of Piper’s works, and an essay on Piper’s Terro-Human Future History series.

This compelling narrative is renowned for its recognition on archaeology, linguistics, and the search for information. Set on this planet Mars, the tale revolves across the efforts of a group of scientists and archaeologists to decipher an historic Martian civilization's language. The scientists, led with the aid of Martha Dane, unearth Martian artifacts, consisting of books and inscriptions, from an extended-misplaced Martian town. Their intention is to release the secrets of this historic lifestyle, however they face good sized demanding situations because of the full-size variations among Martian and human languages. As the group painstakingly deciphers the Martian script and documents, they grapple with linguistic puzzles and cultural nuances. Their adventure is a testament to human interest, determination, and the conventional pursuit of expertise. Ultimately, their efforts culminate in a breakthrough that exhibits key aspects of the Martian civilization's history and lifestyle. "Omnilingual" is widely known for its emphasis on the importance of keeping and decoding historical languages and the understanding they keep. H. Beam Piper's tale highlights the cost of archaeology and linguistics in uncovering the mysteries of lost civilizations.
