  The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell - Before H.G. Wells imagined the Invisible Man, Edward Page Mitchell made him vanish. Discover the original tale of unseen horror and scientific wonder—The Crystal Man. 
  Edward Page Mitchell (1852–1927) was a pioneering yet often overlooked figure in early science fiction. A journalist, editor, and short story writer, Mitchell worked for The New York Sun, where many of his speculative tales first appeared anonymously in the late 19th century. His work, rediscovered decades later, revealed astonishing foresight—anticipating concepts like invisibility, faster-than-light travel, time machines, artificial intelligence, and even teleportation, all before these ideas were popularized by H.G. Wells or Jules Verne. 
  Mitchell never collected his stories in his lifetime and published them without fanfare, contributing to his obscurity. But modern scholars now recognize him as one of the founding voices of American science fiction. His stories, including The Crystal Man, The Tachypomp, and The Man Without a Body, blend scientific imagination with a journalistic touch, often exploring the ethical and emotional consequences of advanced technology. 
  Though largely forgotten in his era, Edward Page Mitchell’s legacy lives on as a visionary who helped shape the genre before it even had a name.

  GROWING UP IN CAROLINA, Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente loved to play baseball. He swung a tree branch—since he didn’t have a bat—and hit tin cans. At the age of 19, his passion for the sport paid off when he was tapped for a Major League team. First stop: chilly Montreal, where he warmed the bench and himself, longing to play baseball. Months later, he finally got his chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates where his talent on the field was soon on display. Many fans loved his bold playing style, but not everyone was quick to embrace a Black man from Puerto Rico who spoke español. A man who demanded to be called Roberto, not Bob. 
   
  MLB.com journalist Nathalie Alonso shows the emotional highs and lows of Roberto Clemente’s career as he fought racism—from fans, reporters, and other figures in the sport—to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time.

  It’s 1859. The British and Americans coexist on the small island of San Juan,  
  located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. They are on fairly good terms— 
  until one fateful morning when an innocent hog owned by a British man has the  
  misfortune to eat some potatoes on an American farmer’s land. In a moment of  
  rash anger, Lyman Cutlar shoots Charles Griffin’s pig, inadvertently almost  
  bringing the two nations to war. Tensions flare, armies gather, cannons are rolled  
  out … all because of a pig! 
  Emma Bland Smith’s humorous text brings to life this true story of how two great  
  nations once almost went to war—but learned to share instead.
