  The “insemination chapel” is hidden deep beneath the manor house. 
  I thought this job sounded too good to be true—working as a summer housekeeper at the billionaire’s rural hunting lodge. I didn’t realize why he actually hired me though… 
  He started by asking about my ex-girlfriend, then he demanded I wear a skimpy maid dress at all times. He’s paying well, so I decided to play along. 
  But now, deep beneath his estate, I kneel naked upon a stone altar. He’s transformed me—I need him. He says there have been dozens of young men here before me, but where are they? 
  The only thing I know for certain is that I’m in love. 
  I’m in love with his sweaty body.

  Transformative Experience

  L.A. Paul

  Transformative Experience by L.A. Paul challenges the foundations of how we make life's biggest decisions. From becoming a parent to changing careers—or even becoming a vampire in a thought experiment—some choices don’t just alter your circumstances; they change you. Paul introduces the concept of transformative experiences—decisions that are both epistemically transformative (you can’t know what they’re like until you live them) and personally transformative (they change your core values, preferences, or identity). 
   
  Traditional models of rational decision-making assume we can evaluate outcomes based on what we currently value. But what happens when the experience itself reshapes those values? If you can't imagine what the future will feel like, or if your future self values different things, how can you make a rational choice now? 
   
  Blending vivid examples, from parenthood to philosophical thought experiments, Paul explores the limits of foresight, the nature of self, and how we might embrace decision-making not as prediction—but as discovery. Transformative Experience is a groundbreaking work that forces us to rethink autonomy, authenticity, and the very meaning of rational choice.

  “Themes of a colorful assortment of stories range from life on other planets to alternative history . . . a perfect introduction to his perennial genius.” —Booklist 
   
  Poul Anderson himself has put together a retrospective collection of his recent writings, fiction and nonfiction, under the title All One Universe. This is the first major Poul Anderson collection in a decade. It encompasses all his strengths as a teller of tales and, in addition, provides a running commentary in the story notes and in the essays on other literary figures such as Rudyard Kipling, Johannes B. Jensen, and John W. Campbell, Jr., commentary that illuminates the fiction, gives personal insight into the mind of this fine writer, and provides a unifying personality for All One Universe. All One Universe, then, represents the new best of Poul Anderson. It is a rich, varied selection of quintessential science fiction as well as four essays, mostly from recent years, by one of the great science fiction writers of the century. His stories are filled with roaring energy, the soul of poetry, and dark imaginings. 
   
  “A fine introduction to one of SF’s masters.” —Starlog 
   
  “Fact and fiction, shaped by one of SF’s keenest minds, are mingled in this collection . . . On the whole, All One Universe is a collection which does its creator proud while delighting his fans.” —Rapport 
   
  “Poul Anderson’s writings have been at a remarkably high, consistent level of quality for nearly fifty years, now. All One Universe is a book for anyone interested in either SF or in craftsmanship.” —David Drake

  The Lakota - A History from...

  Hourly History

  The most common depictions of Native Americans feature mounted warriors and iconic events such as the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the Wounded Knee Massacre. The best-known Native American leaders include Chief Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, and most people’s impression of such a leader includes the wearing of a feathered headdress. All these archetypes have one thing in common: they are all Sioux, and many are Lakota, one of the coalition of seven Sioux Nations. 
  In the mid-seventeenth century, the Lakota were an obscure group of hunter-gatherers with no knowledge of horses or metal. Two hundred years later, they had become the dominant power in a vast tract of land that stretched from Canada to the Great Plains. Their mounted warriors were feared both by other Native American people and by the increasing numbers of white settlers they encountered. From the mid-nineteenth century, the Lakota found themselves involved in a bitter conflict with the US Army. By the beginning of the twentieth century, their power had been broken, and most were forced to live on reservations that lacked natural resources. Even today, many Lakota continue to live in poverty. 
  This is the fascinating story of the Lakota people.
