This classic interview with Fred Saberhagen originally appeared in the Summer, 1979 issue of Thrust magazine. In it, Saberhagen discusses his Berserker series, publishing science fiction for a mainstream audience, and the need for editors to love what they acquire for publication, among other things.
A thoughtful, reflective narrative of a reluctant soldier that captures the rhythms of life in war as well as the boredom and chaos of Vietnam. At the height of the Vietnam War, Charles Carr left graduate school to serve in the army in Southeast Asia, knowing that if he didn’t, another man would go—and possibly die—in his place. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 47th Infantry (Mechanized) in the northern Mekong Delta for a tour of forcing himself through rice paddies and jungles all day and then setting ambushes at night. He concluded his tour with a stint at battalion headquarters. More than just a war memoir, this is the story of one soldier trying to find his way in uncertain times—and to survive his year in Vietnam.Ver livro

Though our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits. The authors take the listener step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Listeners will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burn out, and relative versus absolute thinking. This book provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism.Ver livro
The Great Famine of the 14th century did not erupt suddenly; it was the result of a long-simmering crisis deeply rooted in environmental, agricultural, and demographic factors. Europe, by the early 1300s, was already teetering on the edge of unsustainability. For decades, the continent had experienced a population boom, pushing communities to cultivate every inch of arable land. Marginal lands—forests, wetlands, and rocky hills—were cleared to make room for crops, but the soil was thin and poorly suited for long-term farming. This overuse exhausted the land, reducing yields and straining food supplies even in stable years. At the same time, Europe entered a period of climatic deterioration now known as the Little Ice Age. Beginning in the early 14th century, temperatures across the continent began to drop slightly but consistently. This seemingly minor shift had devastating effects on agriculture. Cooler, wetter summers shortened the growing season and increased rainfall, which flooded fields and rotted seeds before they could sprout. Harsh winters extended well into the spring, delaying planting and shrinking the harvest window. These erratic weather patterns culminated in a series of catastrophic crop failures between 1315 and 1317. Adding to these environmental pressures was a demographic crisis. By the turn of the century, Europe’s population had grown to levels unseen in centuries. Villages were packed, and food demand had reached unprecedented highs. Yet agricultural output could not keep pace. The productivity of medieval farming methods had plateaued, and innovations were slow to arrive. The result was a fragile system stretched beyond its limits. Even a single poor harvest could lead to hunger; multiple bad years spelled disaster.Ver livro
