A Chorus of Swans brings together a loosely linked trilogy of Gabriel Stone's science-fiction short story monologues, each with an ecological theme at its heart, a twist in its tail, and occasionally its tongue pressed firmly in its cheek. Throwing Stones - Even when you're in the deepest of deep space, in a smashed ship with almost no air, there's always a chance that somebody, or something, will figure out a way to get you home. A Bird in the Hand - The sorry tale of what became of the last of the fabulous glassbirds, and why it's a good idea to read the instruction manual. Last CitiXen of Earth - Who mourns for a dead planet when there's none left who remember it alive? What if that planet isn't quite as dead as we'd thought?

A stunning new novel from the Granta Best of Young British, Orange shortlisted author of Burnt Shadows
This volume establishes a rich cross-disciplinary dialogue about the significance of stone in society across time and space. The material properties of stone have ensured its continuing importance; however, it is its materiality which has mediated the relations between the individual, society and stone. Bound up with the physical properties of stone are ideas on identity, value, and understanding. Stone can act as a medium through which these concepts are expressed and is tied to ideas such as monumentality and remembrance; its enduring character creating a link through generations to both people and place. This volume brings together a collection of seventeen papers which draw on a range of diverse disciplines and approaches; including archaeology, anthropology, classics, design and engineering, fine arts, geography, history, linguistics, philosophy, psychology and sciences.
At the height of the McCarthy era and the inception of the Cold War, the great journalist I.F. Stone released The Hidden History of the Korean War, a courageous work of investigative journalism that demolished the official story about America’s so-called “forgotten war.” As the war spiraled to its conclusion, Stone closely analyzed openly available U.S. intelligence narratives on the war’s official start, and the actions of key players like John Foster Dulles, General Douglas MacArthur, and Chiang Kai-shek. The result of his investigations was a controversial book that raised questions about the origin of the war, showed that the U.S. government had manipulated the United Nations, and gave evidence that the U.S. military and South Korean oligarchy dragged out the war by sabotaging peace talks. Stone made a strong case that there were those in the U.S. government and military who saw instability in the region as in the U.S. national interest.
