THE COUNCIL OF SEVEN BY J. C. SNAITH

UK author, mostly in his early career of sentimental romances, of which Mrs Fitz (1910), set in a Ruritania, is of moderate interest; The Coming (1917), set in England, is a fantasy about the Second Coming of Christ. His first sf novel, An Affair of State (1913), is set in a Near Future England raddled by social strife; The Council of Seven (1921) describes a totalitarian Dystopia governed by the eponymous cabal with life-and-death powers over those who threaten its vision of world peace; and Thus Far (1925) depicts the creation of an enormously powerful, amoral, telepathic Superman by the application of various Rays, chemicals and, as E F Bleiler states, "glandular extracts from a missing link" (see Apes as Human; Evolution; Genetic Engineering); Bleiler further suggests that Snaith may have published an earlier work describing the discovery of this link, but no such work has yet been unearthed.

In "Cargoes for Crusoes," Grant M. Overton presents a thought-provoking exploration of the themes of survival and human ingenuity through the lens of travel and adventure literature. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, Overton's prose is characterized by rich, descriptive passages that evoke the fantastical and often perilous journeys undertaken by seafarers and explorers. The book engages with the romantic notions of adventure, capturing the essence of longing and the spirit of discovery prevalent in the literature of his time, all while delivering a nuanced critique of colonialism's impact on both the native people and the environment.

The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) is a photovoltaic converter that mimics natural photosynthesis. Like green plants and algae it uses a molecular absorber, the dye, to harvest sunlight and generate electric charges. Dye-sensitized solar cells are poised to replace existing technologies in «low density» solar-energy applications, especially in contexts where mechanical robustness and light weight is required. This book offers the first comprehensive look at this promising technology and aims to provide a graduate level text that brings together the fundamentals of DSC from three perspectives (materials, performance, and mechanistic aspects), as well as to serve as an advanced monograph that summarizes the key advances and lists the technical challenges remaining to be solved.
