  The Man Without a Body - A Head...

  Edward Page Mitchell

  The Man Without a Body is a pioneering science-fiction tale first published in The New York Sun in 1877. The story follows a brilliant but impatient scientist who invents a machine capable of transmitting matter through space — but when he tests it on himself, only his head makes the journey. What begins as a bold experiment quickly becomes a darkly humorous and unsettling lesson in the limits of human control over technology. Long before teleportation was a common idea in fiction, Mitchell explored it with a mix of curiosity, irony, and quiet horror. 
  The story feels modern in its themes: the danger of rushing scientific progress, the arrogance of invention without foresight, and the human cost of treating the body as just another machine. At the same time, its tone is playful, filled with dry wit and newspaper-style realism. It’s one of those rare early works that show how speculative ideas were taking shape decades before the “Golden Age” of sci-fi. 
  Edward Page Mitchell (1852–1927) was an American journalist and editor best known for his work at The New York Sun, where many of his early science-fiction stories first appeared anonymously. Long before writers like H. G. Wells and Jules Verne became household names, Mitchell was publishing stories about time travel, faster-than-light communication, cyborgs, matter transmission, and even invisibility. Because most of his tales ran without bylines, his influence went largely unrecognized until the 1970s, when scholars rediscovered his work. 
  Mitchell never thought of himself as a science-fiction author — he wrote these pieces as imaginative newspaper entertainment — yet he helped invent many of the genre’s core ideas. Today he is considered one of the forgotten founders of American speculative fiction, a writer whose playful imagination opened doors that later giants would walk through.

  Colin and Nevaeh are great at finding things. After all, they found each other and became best friends—even though their parents are business rivals. They also found hidden boxes of secret letters, which led them to unravel mysteries about kids from the 1970s. 
  But when they started Mystery Solvers Inc., they didn’t expect to be asked to find a ghost. 
  Ree recruits them to investigate a series of old, spooky photos left behind in her family’s new house. The photos show a boy who looks totally see-through. And in some, he’s in a coffin.

  Journey of an apprentice pilgrim...

  We present a heartfelt tribute to what many call vocation or purpose. Join me in the journey of a young man, Kadmiel, as he ventures through various trades in search of his true calling, reflecting the experiences shared by millions worldwide, as Vicki Robin eloquently conveyed in her book, "The Stock Market or Life." Some find their passion early on and follow a steady path, while others, like Kadmiel, zigzag through a dozen jobs, always moving forward. 
  However, this work serves a dual purpose. Beyond just Kadmiel's tale, it aims to awaken us from the slumber of life's vicious cycle. Most of us find ourselves trapped in the belief that work solely exists to pay the bills, inadvertently forgetting the essential question: What about our happiness? Vicki Robin's words beautifully encapsulate this scenario - if the daily grind truly brought us joy and a sense of fulfillment, the trials and inconveniences would be a minor price to pay. But increasingly, it's evident that money doesn't guarantee the happiness we seek beyond a certain level of comfort. 
  If this resonates with you in any way, this book is meant for you. It delves into the quest for meaning and happiness that many of us find ourselves on.
