Alice to the Lighthouse
Alice to the Lighthouse is the first and only full-length study of the relation between children's literature and writing for adults. Lewis Carroll's Alice books created a revolution in writing for and about children which had repercussions not only for subsequent children's writers - such as Stevenson, Kipling, Nesbit, Frances Hodgson Burnett and Mark Twain - but for Virginia Woolf and her generation. Virginia Woolf's celebration of writing as play rather than preaching is the twin of the Post-Impressionist art championed by Roger Fry. Dusinberre connects books for children in the late nineteenth century with developments in education and psychology, all of which feed into the modernism of the early twentieth century.
Woolf's To The Lighthouse
To the Lighthouse is one of Virginia Woolf's most widely read and commonly studied novels. It is the ideal companion to reading and studying the novel, setting To the Lighthouse in its historical, intellectual and cultural contexts; offering analyses of its themes, style, and structure; providing exemplary close readings; and presenting an up-to-date account of its critical reception. The book also includes a brief plot summary and guide to characters to enable students to progress quickly from early concerns about what is happening in the novel. It includes points for discussion, suggestions for further study, and an annotated guide to relevant reading.
Dancing with Eternity

The Connection
Beatrice Walker thought she lived in a normal world-that is until she learned she's a living hostel for an alien energy source, and apparently the answer to preventing extinction. Bea has no memory of her last moments with her mother. The week they'd gone missing is a complete mystery. Suddenly moved back to her hometown with her father, Bea has rekindled her friendship with her two best friends-and seems to have caught the attention of an arrogant, yet gorgeous boy named Cash Kingston. But there's more to Cash than his annoying attitude and good looks. Cash isn't human, and he's now in charge of protecting Bea from those who know what she keeps safe inside her: the energy source that once belonged to his murdered girlfriend. Tensions mount as Bea learns her energy source must be paired with the one Cash holds to protect both their planets from an imminent threat. But what Bea doesn't realize is there's more to her than being human a host, that her feelings for Cash are not just a prophetic plan that will save their planets, and that the fate of everything lies in her choices.
Irwin Allen's Lost in Space
The Authorized Biography of a Classic Sci-Fi Series, Volume 1 documents the early career of Irwin Allen. It is a true rags-to-riches story, as Allen ventures from a humble beginning in the Bronx to his later incarnations in Hollywood as an entertainment journalist, radio and television host, a literary agent - all before becoming a successful motion picture producer and director. After winning an Academy Award in 1954, Allen entered the fantasy genre with films such as The Lost World and Voyages to the Bottom of the Sea. He then rolled the dice again with a move into television, creating and producing Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and, one year later, Lost in Space.Lost in Space was the first primetime weekly series to take viewers into outer space's strange new alien worlds - something the networks believed impossible on a TV budget and schedule. In this book you'll be whisked back in time to the production offices, writers' conferences, and soundstages for the making of this iconic series. Included are hundreds of memos between Allen and his staff; production schedules; budgets; fan letters; more than 200 rare behind-the-scene images; and the TV ratings for every episode.
