Sinossi

A satirical SF caper of evolution, gangsters, Darwin’s brain, and the Golden Age of Hollywood from the Nebula and World Fantasy Award–winning author. When Sonya Orlova, a successful 1930s horror-film actress, crosses paths with a gorilla whose brain has been swapped for the frozen cerebrum of the late Charles Darwin, the two are inspired to write and produce evolution-themed monster movies—with Sonya in her greatest role, Korgora the Ape Woman!  As this offbeat and controversial Hollywood series finds a devoted cult audience, Sonia’s relationship with her strange simian collaborator acquires an intensity neither could have imagined. Then disaster strikes, as zealous opponents to Darwin’s ideas contrive to put the Ape Woman out of business.  By turns satiric and romantic, madcap, and thoughtful, Behold the Ape is at once an outré love story, a tribute to classic monster movies, and a science-fictional celebration of that beleaguered institution we call public education.

    Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
     
     
     
    Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
     
     
     
    Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

    Stetson Jeff never realized that his brain was so special, but it's true that he can learn complex, obscure languages in just a few weeks. He heads off to Oxford University for a semester to get hooked up to brain scans and learn Korean for a chance at an honorary degree. But is being a smart person something Jeff has time for right now? Heck no. Hot on the trail of A.S.P. now, Jeff leaves England headed for Egypt and then ... well, we wouldn't want to spoil the story now, would we? Will Jeff have the guts to uncover everything? And once it's all out in the open, will he be able to get past the Dallas Cowboys to save the world? Can he patch it up with May Daisy Cook? The Stetson Jeff Adventures reaches a final climax. Will Jeff be able to fulfill his wildest dreams, while coming to terms with the thing that shames him most? If you're thinking that somehow we would do that to you, turn a great modern American tall tale with a true hero (none of this antihero stuff for us) into a tragedy, you probably need to go sit in the corner for a few minutes and think again, partner.

    We'll have a gay, old time ... 
    There's nothing worse than a long ride in the car with AB, or so Kallie thinks as they head off to the Fairview Mountain Rehab Center to pay a visit to Trevor Darlington. But once they arrive, she finds there are some things that are indeed worse than Abuela-Blanca's kami-nazi driving -- such as running into Azure, her fashion designer from Model Middle America. 
    Only he's not Azure -- or is he? 
    Maybe? 
    There's nothing "Azure" about the pasty-faced, non-makeup wearing man who shares Azure's face, any more than Kallie is truly "Arlanda." Kallie's more than certain it's a twin thing, even as he begs her to keep his truly devastating secret for fear of losing his job, his clout, and his reputation ... 
    But when he consumes a radioactive doughnut, Kallie has no room for hesitation, and she fears her promise suddenly just got a lot harder to keep ... 
    Azure Skies is episode 9 in C. S. Johnson's superhero satire serial, Fatgirl. You'll never look at doughnuts the same way after consuming this series!

    A highly entertaining anecdotal collection of humorous life observations during a trip around the world. Travelling by bus to Kathmandu, the author experiences hair-raising misadventures: a chase through Jerusalem, a gun battle in Jordan, a pummelling by a gargantuan masseur in Istanbul, a python in India, and the terrifying James Bond encounter in Australia. His portrait of an Afghani shopkeeper has a bizarre twist. 
    Time-travelling detours punctuate interesting stories about the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Tahiti, Easter Island statues and Christ in Rio. More than a travelogue, personal insights and character portrayals are underscored by whimsical humour.
