Alternate Worlds
Alternate Worlds was first published in 1975 and became an instant classic, winning a Hugo award. This third edition brings the history of science fiction up to date, covering developments over the past forty years--a period that has seen the advent of technologies only imagined in the genre's Golden Age. As a literature of change, science fiction has become ever more meaningful, presaging dangers to humanity and, as Alvin Toffler wrote, guarding against "the premature arrival of the future." The world has begun to recognize science fiction in many different ways, incorporating its elements in products, visual media and huge conventions.
Parallel Worlds
Is the universe we currently inhabit the only one? or are there an infinite number of others, each a different region of an endless 'multivers'?. And is our human future bound up with this quest for new worlds?
Parallel Worlds
This suspenseful and moving memoir of Africa recounts the experiences of Alma Gottlieb, an anthropologist, and Philip Graham, a fiction writer, as they lived in two remote villages in the rain forest of Cote d'Ivoire. With an unusual coupling of first-person narratives, their alternate voices tell a story imbued with sweeping narrative power, humility, and gentle humor. Parallel Worlds is a unique look at Africa, anthropological fieldwork, and the artistic process. "A remarkable look at a remote society [and] an engaging memoir that testifies to a loving partnership . . . compelling."—James Idema, Chicago Tribune

What would the world be like is history had taken a different course? Science fiction literature has long contemplated this question, and this text analyzes alternate history science fiction through a variety of historical models. It raises questions of narrative, writers, temporality and time.
Alternate Universes, Time Travel and the Unexplained
This book is a brief, yet descriptive collection of unsolved cases involving missing time, hiccups in the space-time / parallel-dimensional continuum, and eye witness accounts with documents and records to confirm the validity of this anomaly. These are stories that you could find on your own through Google, if you are willing to do a lot of research and dig deep for information. I took it upon myself to collect these tasty morsels for you, inject my own research and findings, present the facts and sources as a companion for the stories and essentially do all of the heavy lifting for you, the reader. Enjoy!

Worlds Apart
"[Malmgren] succeeds in formulating a typology of science fiction that will become a standard reference for some years to come." —Choice " . . . the most intelligently organized and effectively argued general study of SF that I have ever read." —Rob Latham, SFRA Review " . . . required reading for its evenhanded overview of so much of the previous critical/theoretical material devoted to science fiction." —American Book Review Worlds Apart provides a comprehensive theoretical model for science fiction by examining the worlds of science fiction and the discourse which inscribes them. Malmgren identifies the basic science fiction types, including alien encounters, alternate societies and worlds, and fantasy, and examines the role of the reader in concretizing and interpreting these science fiction worlds.
