Professor Dowell's Head
It is Paris in the 1920s, that frothy heyday between the World Wars. Hidden among the opulent cabarets, cafes, and theaters, a mad scientist toils away in his own private hospital, illegally performing grotesque experimental head transplants and reanimations on bodies stolen from the morgue. Under the tutelage of the disembodied head of a former colleague, the madman is well on his way to presenting the first-ever human head transplant to the scientific community, thereby achieving professional glory and securing his legacy as the greatest scientific mind of his generation. However, when one of his test subjects escapes, he risks being exposed to the authorities as a deranged criminal, befor...
Ariel
Ariel does not know who he is, where he is from, or what is his purpose in life. The chance to get the answers comes in the form of a strange experiment, in which Ariel receives the ability to fly.
The Man Who Found His Face
Antonio Presto had everything - fame, fortune, and prestige. And yet, through a terrible whim of nature, he could not have what he most wanted - ordinary human happiness. One day, he decided to change it all by appealing to one of the strangest physicians available.
Soviet Science Fiction
First published under title: A visitor from outer space.
Tales of Madness
How many ways are there for driving someone mad? You could take him out of his time and propel him into another era. You could pluck him from his home and drop them in the middle of primitive jungle.You could pull him off the surface of the Earth altogether. Welcome to the "Tales of Madness" - a collection of three novellas by Alexander Belyaev bound to make you ponder the variety of ways, in which one might lose his mind.
A Visitor from Outer Space
Alexander Belayev (1884-1942). A notable writer of fiction whose life was strange and hard. For years tuberculosis of the spine kept him confined to his bed, yet he was able to enjoy a full and interesting life. He studied law, attended lectures at the Conservatoire, enjoyed working on newspapers and periodicals and was, deeply interested in science and technical problems. Belayev produced a whole library of attractive books of science fiction. Hoity-Toity, one of the stories in this volume, is from a series of excellent stories collected under the title Professor Wagner's Inventions. Alexander Kazantsev (b.1906) is a master of adventure stories and science-fiction books. A Visitor from Oute...
The Second Marxian Invasion
Stephen W. Potts presents Arkady and Boris Strugatsky in terms of their dual contributions to the SF genre and to modern Russian literature, placing their work in both its historical and literary context.
Progress in Continuum Mechanics
This book gives an insight into the current developments in the field of continuum mechanics. Twenty-five researchers present new theoretical concepts, e.g., better inclusion of the microstructure in the models describing material behavior. At the same time, there are also more applications for the theories in engineering practice. In addition to new theoretical approaches in continuum mechanics and applications, the book puts an emphasis on discussing multi-physics problems.
Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces
This volume constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces, MMCS 2008, held in Tønsberg, Norway, in June/July 2008. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 129 talks presented at the conference. The topics addressed by the papers range from mathematical analysis of various methods to practical implementation on modern graphics processing units.
Advances in Multiresolution for Geometric Modelling
Multiresolution methods in geometric modelling are concerned with the generation, representation, and manipulation of geometric objects at several levels of detail. Applications include fast visualization and rendering as well as coding, compression, and digital transmission of 3D geometric objects. This book marks the culmination of the four-year EU-funded research project, Multiresolution in Geometric Modelling (MINGLE). The book contains seven survey papers, providing a detailed overview of recent advances in the various fields within multiresolution modelling, and sixteen additional research papers. Each of the seven parts of the book starts with a survey paper, followed by the associated research papers in that area. All papers were originally presented at the MINGLE 2003 workshop held at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, UK, 9-11 September 2003.
