    Early Greek Philosophy & Other...

    "The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets—like Slave and Master morality, the Superman—can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects. "Truth and Falsity," and "The Greek Woman" are probably the two essays which will prove most attractive to the average reader."

    Growing up, Wat Misaka wasn’t the tallest kid on the basketball court, but he was fast and he loved the game! In his Japanese American basketball league, Wat dribbled with speed and shared the ball as much as he scored. Encouraged by his father to always do his best, Wat applied this mindset to every challenge in his life. 
 
As Wat spent more time on the court, his passion for the game grew. He played in college at the University of Utah during WWII, a time when many Japanese Americans were stripped of their freedoms and incarcerated by the US government. Wat fought against racism and brought his best to every game. His team-player mentality made him shine on and off the court, and he became an inspiration to his Japanese American community. After helping his team win the national championship, Wat was drafted by the New York Knicks, making him the first non-white athlete to play in the NBA. 
 
Wat’s motivational story of rising to a challenge and bringing your best to everything you do is a reminder of the power we each have to inspire others—if we just take our shot!

    When Captain Johnny Lodge and Karen Franklin venture deep into the forbidden Asteroid Belt, they expect danger—but not proof that the miners’ wild tales are true. A radiant blue flame, abandoned derelict ships, and creatures that defy every law of known biology soon surround them, transforming their mission into a fight for survival and understanding. 
As the crew confronts living entities born of radiation and mutation, they uncover a mystery that challenges humanity’s assumptions about life itself. In a place where ancient pyramids glow in space and music can still monstrous beings, escape may depend not on firepower, but on courage, compassion, and the willingness to accept an entirely new form of existence. 
Clifford D. Simak was one of science fiction’s most thoughtful and humane voices, blending cosmic wonder with deep emotional insight. His stories often explored the boundaries between humanity, alien life, and the moral choices that arise when those worlds collide. 
Best known for classics such as City and Way Station, Simak’s work earned multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and helped define a quieter, more philosophical strain of science fiction—one where empathy mattered as much as imagination.
