Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. In literature the ambition is much narrower. In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published. And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading. Obviously for most of humanity's time people couldn't read and texts couldn't be published in any great number.

William Halsey was the most famous naval officer of World War II.

This is a collection of 14 works of biblical apocrypha for students of lost Christian writings. The Apocrypha are a loosely knit series of books, written by early vanguards of Christianity (covering the eras of both the old and new testaments), which comprise somewhere between about a dozen to several hundred titles, depending on whom you ask and how that person defines the word Apocrypha. A small selection of these can still be found included in the Catholic bible, while a majority of the books in question, were abandoned by church officials in the early centuries of Christianity.

He led the Saints to Utah, guided the establishment of 350 settlements, and inspired the Mormons as they weathered unimaginable trials and hardships. In this new biography, historian Thomas G. Alexander draws on a lifetime of research to provide an evenhanded view of Young and his leadership.

In 2050, the looking glass is made of mist, and the rabbit hole is a filtration pipe. Silas is a Necturus—a "Maculan"—living in the "Reservoir," a vertical city where his kind are treated like fragile glass dolls. While the majority celebrates the "Wellness" laws that keep them soft, Silas follows the "Gilled Truth": a philosophy of biological autonomy in a world that wants to "protect" him into a grave. As a master technician, Silas sees the Spire for what it really is: a surreal, high-humidity hallucination designed to keep the "Ancestrals" from biting. Behind the "Aggressive Hospitality...
