  In this beautiful and haunting fantasy, an imprisoned princess needs the help of a girl from the modern world to undo a wish gone wrong and save her snowy kingdom. 
    
  Every day, a lonely princess digs through the snow in search of a way to undo the terrible wish she made—one that has left her with an empty kingdom and a heart full of guilt. But one day, a mysterious girl named Ela tumbles through the kingdom’s protective mist barrier. The princess is determined to bring Ela to her father, the harsh king, as proof that her wish can be undone, even if it means keeping Ela against her will. Meanwhile, Ela, who has grown up a regular kid in what she thought was a regular Indian American family, is shocked to discover she’s stumbled upon the very snow princess whose picture graces the cover of the locked book that Ela’s mom won’t let her read. In this elegant fantasy, author Meera Trehan conjures a story of loneliness, family secrets, science, and remarkable snow as two girls from different worlds come together to set things right—and maybe even become friends.

  Hygiene in World History

  Peter N. Stearns

  • 0

  This book features a global, historical analysis of the changes and continuities in one of society's basic functions: seeking to protect itself from disease. 
   
  Hygiene offers an important lens for major aspects of world and comparative history. The volume explores the ways different regions and major religions approached hygiene both before modern times and through the present with the more recent uses of germ theory. Topics in "premodern" hygiene include toilet practices, remarkably varied views about bathing, and different levels of commitment to investments in hygiene infrastructure. The "sanitary revolution" of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries forms a major dividing line in the book, including the variations introduced by developments like colonialism or communism and various forms of resistance to "modern" hygiene. The book links current, often bitter, debates about hygiene, around practices such as masking, both to the larger history and to recent issues like COVID-19. 
   
  Hygiene in World History is an accessible overview aimed at undergraduate and non-specialist listeners interested in world history, public health, and the history of health and disease.

  The Monsters Came by Night -...

  Robert Silverberg

  First published in Super-Science Fiction magazine in October 1959, “The Monsters Came by Night” blends psychological unease with otherworldly menace in a way that only the mid-century masters of science fiction could. It begins with a quiet, almost domestic mystery before unfolding into a haunting story of alien intrusion and human fear. What starts as an ordinary evening soon becomes a terrifying exploration of what happens when reality is invaded by something far beyond human understanding. Every page reflects that eerie tension between the known and the unimaginable — the hallmark of 1950s speculative storytelling. 
  Robert Silverberg wrote this tale early in his career, but even then his talent for atmosphere and pacing was unmistakable. His prose moves with precision — deliberate, sharp, and deeply human — revealing how isolation and imagination can twist into horror. Beneath the surface of monsters and nightmares lies something much more intimate: the fear of being watched, misunderstood, or overtaken by forces we cannot control. 
  Born in Brooklyn in 1935, Robert Silverberg became one of the most prolific and respected authors in modern science fiction. Over a career spanning more than seven decades, he has written hundreds of short stories and novels, earning multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards. Silverberg’s work evolved from fast-paced pulp adventures to deeply philosophical explorations of identity, time, and transformation. Notable works like Nightwings, Dying Inside, and The Book of Skulls showcase his range and his ability to blend emotional depth with speculative brilliance. 
  Beyond his fiction, Silverberg has been a scholar and editor, shaping how later generations would view the Golden Age of science fiction.
