    Published in 1901, The First Men in the Moon is one of the earliest science-fiction novels in the English language. An impecunious businessman, Bedford, retreats to the Kent coast where he meets the archetypal absent-minded scientist, Dr Cavor, who is on the point of producing a gravity-defying material. His experiments prove successful, making possible one of man’s oldest dreams: a journey to the moon. The two men embark on this fantastic voyage – Bedford motivated by the prospect of wealth, and Cavor by the thirst for knowledge. However, when they arrive, they find a world of freezing nights and sweltering days, and signs of a threatening alien presence, from which they may never escape.The novel invites obvious comparisons with its predecessor, Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon, though Wells’s approach markedly differs from that of his French counterpart, with Wells being more concerned by the adventure on the moon, even at the expense of scientific plausibility.

    The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.

    The mere mention of the word "psychology" in connection with business was once greeted with a shrug of the shoulders, a raising of the eyebrows and a change of the subject. The average business man was apt to impatiently resent the introduction into business of topics or speculation regarding the soul, or of theories and tales regarding concepts of psychology. Change has come to the man in business. He understands that psychology means "the science of the mind," psychology plays a most important part in business, and that it is quite worth his while to acquaint himself with its fundamental principles. The best authorities on salesmanship and advertising now recognize this fact and emphasize it in their writings. In The Psychology of Salesmanship Atkinson discusses Psychology in Business, The Mind of the Salesman, The Mind of the Buyer and more bringing greater understanding to the reader of the Psychology of Purchase
