The Beach Boys are one of the most long-lived and popular rock groups of the modern era. Their distinctive sound and outlook, which began as smooth Southern California surfing music in the early 1960s, evolved to the point where they became a phenomenon in themselves, the epitome of a rock style that combined the melodious poetry of Robinson Jeffers with the lilting rhythms of Mike Love and Al Jardine. Exuberance was always their trademark. You knew they liked what they were singing about, whether it was surf, cars, or girls. No wonder, then, that the Boys were a major factor in putting Southern California on the landscape of modern rock music. Their many albums span over three decades of tension, turmoil, and upheaval, but their music has somehow survived the years with undiminished spirit and vigor. The Beach Boys remain definitive representatives of the open, generous spirit of the California lifestyle. Golden and Seldis explore the group and their music as a golden example of the pastoral theme. Includes a detailed Discography, Notes, Bibliography, and comprehensive Index.

Ancient aliens seed the primordial oceans of Earth with protoplasmic material found on other worlds, then return millennia later to see what they have wrought. They not only observe the human civilizations they find, they contact some of them, conducting investigative studies. When they leave, they decide to cull large groups of humans and their environs, which they convey across the galaxy and transplant onto another world to continue their study. Ultimately this great speciation experiment will have unexpected and dire consequences for the experimenters. Meanwhile, on this new world, a group of Vikings evolve over the centuries into a cutthroat corporate culture of racial purists in an early industrial society. They have designs on the lands of a nearby continent where tribes of Sioux still cling to their old ways. And they may not be the only forced immigrants on this planet. War ensues, and at the core of the conflict is a native herb which may be the cure for a disease that ravages the corporatocracy, as well as being the secret to longevity.

The planet Evergreen is ripe for exploitation, and corporate Earth is only to happy to harvest the lush timber and mining resources to provide luxury goods for a world whose own resources were long ago eradicated.Like the frontier towns of early America, Evergreen draws the misfits, the outcasts, the unwanted of Earth, who exist as little more than slaves to pay off the huge costs of their trip to this magnificent wilderness. But others have come as well--a priest obsessed with finding the City of God, an exobiologist convinced she has found what may be the next species capable of reaching true sentience, an archaeologist whose young wife is torn between her love for him and her lust for her stepson.There is one other player in this game of greed and desire, however. And that player has grown more and more certain that the creatures that have infected it must be destroyed.

What is War? Nobody can really say.“Everybody was in a different War. Nobody's War is quite the same as anyone else's.”These words were from a Vietnam Veteran counselor.Truer words have never been spoken, so in this book we don't try to answer the question. Instead we bring you thoughtful stories not only of War, but the people affected, and the aftermath.In this book you'll find stories of alternative Wars as imagined by 26 authors of speculative fiction. Perhaps some of them will provide some insight into why we keep repeating what simply seems like a really bad idea.
