  Randolph Caldecott is best known as the namesake of the award that honors picture book illustrations, and in this inventive biography, leading children's literature scholar Leonard Marcus examines the man behind the medal. In an era when the steam engine fueled an industrial revolution and train travel exploded people's experience of space and time, Caldecott was inspired by his surroundings to capture action, movement, and speed in a way that had never before been seen in children's picture books. Thoroughly researched and featuring extensive archival material and a treasure trove of previously unpublished drawings, including some from Caldecott's very last sketchbook, Leonard Marcus's luminous biography shows why Caldecott was indeed the father of the modern picture book and how his influence lives on in the books we love today.

  The Broken Axiom by Alfred Bester - The Laws of Physics State That Two Bodies Cannot Occupy the Same Space at the Same Time-but Dr. Halday Finds a Loophole! 
  Alfred Bester was an American science fiction author, editor, and scriptwriter whose bold imagination and innovative prose reshaped the genre. A native New Yorker, Bester studied psychology and philosophy before turning to writing in the late 1930s, contributing stories to pulps like Thrilling Wonder Stories. During the 1940s he worked extensively in comics, scripting for DC titles such as Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman, where he co-created enduring concepts including the Green Lantern Oath. 
  Bester’s true breakthrough came in the 1950s with two landmark novels: The Demolished Man (1953), the first Hugo Award winner for Best Novel, a dazzling blend of crime fiction and telepathy; and The Stars My Destination (1956), a revenge-driven space opera often hailed as one of science fiction’s greatest works. 
  Beyond novels, Bester’s short stories are regarded as classics for their experimental flair. He also worked in radio, television, and magazine editing, spending time as features editor for Holiday magazine. Though his later novels received mixed reception, Bester’s mid-century works remain milestones of modern science fiction. Celebrated for his wit, linguistic play, and relentless energy, Alfred Bester is remembered as one of the field’s most original and enduring voices.
