A Columbus of Space

We simply listened in silence; for what could we say? The facts were more eloquent than any words, and called for no commentary. Here we "were," out in the middle of space; and "there" was the earth, hanging on nothing, like a summer cloud. At least we knew where we were if we didn't quite understand how we had got there. . . .

Pen Drawing - an Illustrated Treatise

By: Charles Donagh Maginnis,Garrett Putman Serviss

Art is not satisfied with mere unrelated beauty of form or color. It requires that the result confess some sensible relation to the means by which it has been obtained; and in proportion as it does this, it may claim to possess that individual and distinctive charm which we call ""Style."" Pen drawing is most apt to lose its individuality when it begins to assume the characteristics of wash-drawing, such as an elaborate massing of grays, small light areas, and a general indirectness of method....for if there is one characteristic more than another which should distinguish pen methods it is Directness. The nature of the pen seems to mark as its peculiar function that of picking out the really vital features of a subject. Pen drawing has been aptly termed the ""shorthand of Art;"" the genius of the pen-point is essentially epitome. (From Chapter 1) Get Your Copy Today!

A Columbus of Space (Esprios Classics)

By: Garrett P. Serviss

Garrett Putnam Serviss (March 24, 1851 - May 25, 1929) was an American astronomer, popularizer of astronomy, and early science fiction writer. Serviss was born in Sharon Springs, New York and majored in science at Cornell University. He took a law degree at Columbia University but never worked as an attorney. Instead, in 1876 he joined the staff of The New York Sun newspaper, working as a journalist until 1892 under editor Charles Dana. Serviss showed a talent for explaining scientific details in a way that made them clear to the ordinary reader, leading Andrew Carnegie to invite him to deliver The Urania Lectures in 1894 on astronomy, cosmology, geology, and related matters.

3 Books to Know: Alien Invasion

By: Voltaire,H. G. Wells,Garrett Putman Serviss

Welcome to the 3 Books To Know series, our idea is to help readers learn about fascinating topics through three essential and relevant books. These carefully selected works can be fiction, non-fiction, historical documents or even biographies. We will always select for you three great works to instigate your mind, this time the topic is: Alien Invasion The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells is one of the most influential works of science fiction of all times. It shows the invasion of the Earth by Martians. The most famous version of this book is Orson Welles' radio drama in 1938. The novel has also influenced the work of scientists like Robert H. Goddard. Inspired by the book, invented both the liquid fuelled rocket and multistage rocket. French philosopher Voltaire tells us an interesting story of alien invasion in Micromega. The difference is that the invaders do not perceive themselves as such. In fact, they do not even perceive humans as intelligent creatures in the beginning. Micromegas raises interesting questions and is a good philosophical exercise. Edison's Conquest of Mars shows Thomas Edison as a space adventurer and defender of the Earth. A curious work that anticipates the figure of the businessman conqueror of the space. Sometimes pointed as the Thomas Edison of our time, Elon Musk may have been inspired by this book for his space endeavors. This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know. If you liked this book, look for the other titles in the series, we are sure you will like some of the topics.
