Citizen of the Galaxy is in this and is one of Heinlein better stories ,it keeps one engrossed and the ending is a pretty satisfying one to its start ( ) Tunnel in the Sky: As a teenager, this was a solid 4-stars; but now only 3.5 stars. A good, inspiring tale of children learning to do, or die. Time for the Stars: As close to time travel as you can get without getting wonkie. A good adventure story without an especially exciting plot line. Citizen of the Galaxy: Solid Heinlein…as good a story as it was when I first read it---50+ years ago. These early works are so much better than his last books. In order by merit: *Citizen of the Galaxy combines the exotic allure of the underclass in Rudyard Kipling's Kim with the moral heroism of science fiction. A consistently intelligent and interesting tale. *Tunnel in the Sky is a good story of the building of a civilization out of the raw human materials of modernity, a la Lost or Lord of the Flies. *Time for the Stars begins well, with a plausible description of the functioning of telepathy, but somehow fails to impress. Perhaps the narrator is less likeable than in the other two stories. All in all, a good introduction to science fiction, and not a bad reread for adults. The other two stories are less compelling that Citizen of the Galaxy, which is a compelling read in the typical plot-driven Heinlein style, but like other Heinlein works, touches on societal issues that remain relevant today. Honor, subterfuge, mistaken identity, love, ethics, man's dehumanization of man, and the ability of youth to adapt and to grow. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Infinite Possibilities offers new perspectives on the phenomenon of seriality in the medium of drawings and the visual arts. It includes drawings from the 1960s to the present by twenty-nine artists from Japan, South America (Columbia), the United States, and Europe (Germany, England, Ireland). Whether looking at serial images in historical, political, mathematical, philosophical, or theoretical perspectives, Infinite Possibilities is a remarkable discourse on a fundamental aspect of contemporary artistic creativity.
