Between Opera and Cinema
Leading scholars of opera and film explore the many ways these two seemingly unrelated genres have come together from the silent-film era to today.
Murder in Venice
Murder in Venice is the story of Sankaran Namboodri, a young man passionate about astronomy and related mathematics, whose thirst for knowledge inducts him to travel to Italy to meet Galileo Galilei and share the advanced astronomy developed by Hindu astronomers. Born in Irinjalakuda, a village in Kerala on the West coast of India also the birthplace of Madhava, a great mathematician born 250 years earlier, Sankaran prepares to take over from his father as the temple priest by studying the Vedic scriptures following the traditions. Recognising his talent for understanding complex scriptures and mathematics, and his insatiable curiosity of the sky, his father wants him to become an astronomer...
The Art of the Cosmos
Hundreds of deep space missions since the 1960s have captured stunning photographs of the cosmos. Many of these scientific images can also be classified as art. This book highlights more than 100 examples, revealing the splendor of our universe. This book is a gallery of human accomplishment that celebrates the scientists and engineers who push civilization—including the ways that we produce and experience art—beyond the physical limits of our planet. The photographs, selected by Dr. Jim Bell, represent some of the finest examples of the art of deep space exploration, most of them involving high-tech robotic emissaries. The images are loosely organized by distance from the Earth, so that readers will slowly travel on a journey farther and farther away from home, ultimately voyaging out to vistas of the farthest-known places in the universe.

O Clube dos imortais - A Nova Quimera dos Vampiros
Este é um clube formado por vampiros, bruxas, lobisomens, anjos, e outros seres, coagidos pelo vampiro Luar, para servi-lo em sua busca obsessiva por Álvares de Azevedo.

Cyborgs, Sexuality, and the Undead
Writers in Brazil and Mexico discovered early on that speculative fiction provides an ideal platform for addressing the complex issues of modernity, yet the study of speculative fictions rarely strays from the United States and England. Cyborgs, Sexuality, and the Undead expands the traditional purview of speculative fiction in all its incarnations (science fiction, fantasy, horror) beyond the traditional Anglo-American context to focus on work produced in Mexico and Brazil across a historical overview from 1870 to the present. The book portrays the effects—and ravages—of modernity in these two nations, addressing its technological, cultural, and social consequences and their implication...
Galileo's Telescope
An innovative exploration of the development of a revolutionary optical device and how it changed the world. Between 1608 and 1610 the canopy of the night sky changed forever, ripped open by an object created almost by accident: a cylinder with lenses at both ends. Galileo’s Telescope tells the story of how an ingenious optical device evolved from a toy-like curiosity into a precision scientific instrument, all in a few years. In transcending the limits of human vision, the telescope transformed humanity’s view of itself and knowledge of the cosmos. Galileo plays a leading—but by no means solo—part in this riveting tale. He shares the stage with mathematicians, astronomers, and theol...
