Red mars green mars blue mars6/12/2023 ![]() Sax Russell, Maya Toitovna and others reprise their roles from the first two novels, but the dominant ""personality"" is the planet itself, which Robinson describes in exhaustive naturalistic detail. Using the last 200 years of American history as his template for Martian history, Robinson projects his tale of Mars's colonization from the 21st century, in which settlers successfully revolt against Earth, into the next century, when various interests on Mars work out their differences on issues ranging from government to the terraforming of the planet and immigration. The conclusion to the saga is not unlike the terrain of Robinson's Red Planet: fertile and fully developed in some spots, vast and arid in others-but, ultimately, it's an impressive achievement. ![]() Red Mars, the kickoff to Robinson's epic Mars trilogy, won the Nebula for best SF novel of 1992 its follow-up, Green Mars, won the parallel Hugo for 1994. ![]()

Doom the politics of catastrophe6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ‘Terrible politics can manufacture calamity out of nature.’ A monument in Kiev to victims of the 1932-33 Ukrainian famine. ![]() The sinking of the Titanic and nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl exhibit at microcosmic level much the same “fractal geometry of disaster” discernible in the macro calamities. Ferguson’s interest is the patterns and systems that emerge from the repetition, to which end he skips quite breezily through a rich catalogue of gruesome, miserable experiences: floods, earthquakes that swallow whole cities, volcanic eruptions that bring humans to the brink of extinction, wars, famines and an array of lower-division horrors. ![]() It is not a gloomy book, although it dwells often on our collective failure to learn from past mistakes. What began as a taxonomy of doom evolves into a hawkish foreign policy treatise on the coming cold war with China That tension is the subject of Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe, Niall Ferguson’s excursion into the history of horrible afflictions. The march of progress gives cause for optimism the certain recurrence of disaster less so. ![]() But that minor skirmish is far from the frontline in a battle that science is winning, at least until the next disaster strikes. There is something medieval about paranoid mobs felling mobile phone masts in the belief that 5G signals are responsible for the disease. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought its share of irrational fanaticism. ![]()

Cs lewis space trilogy movie6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() tour, they are also guest editing all week. ![]() As the foursome prepares for its upcoming U.K. Unfortunately, the record was leaked in July, forcing the band to change the release date and marketing plan for Beggars, but Thrice seems to have come out of all this extracurricular drama unscathed. ![]() On paper, such a description might make you believe the LP is a return to the post-hardcore days of Thrice’s first three albums, though Beggars is far more mature and varied than that. III & IV (2008), the California quartet-vocalist/guitarist Dustin Kensrue, guitarist/engineer Teppei Teranishi and Breckenridge brothers Eddie (bass) and Riley (drums)-has issued the edgier, hard-rock-leaning Beggars (Vagrant). Following 2005’s experimental/atmospheric Vheissu and four-part concept album The Alchemy Index Vols. A dozen years into its career, Thrice is still evolving. ![]()

Ten thousand leagues under the sea6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() On the 20th of July, 1866, the steamer Governor Higginson, of the Calcutta and Burnach Steam Navigation Company, had met this moving mass five miles off the east coast of Australia. As to classing it in the list of fables, the idea was out of the question. ![]() And that it DID exist was an undeniable fact and, with that tendency which disposes the human mind in favour of the marvellous, we can understand the excitement produced in the entire world by this supernatural apparition. Taking into consideration the mean of observations made at divers times- rejecting the timid estimate of those who assigned to this object a length of two hundred feet, equally with the exaggerated opinions which set it down as a mile in width and three in length-we might fairly conclude that this mysterious being surpassed greatly all dimensions admitted by the learned ones of the day, if it existed at all. ![]() If it was a whale, it surpassed in size all those hitherto classified in science. The facts relating to this apparition (entered in various log-books) agreed in most respects as to the shape of the object or creature in question, the untiring rapidity of its movements, its surprising power of locomotion, and the peculiar life with which it seemed endowed. ![]()
