Bøger af Edward Bryant

East of your nightmares, west of your dreams... Here are the venturers: A thirteen-year-old boy on the Great Plains in 1850 must contend with hunger, smallpox, and intruders from a world and time he can barely imagine. A young woman reporter and an elderly biologist become party to the strangest conspiracy of the century. An ex-Senator, resigned and in disgrace, returns home to the mountains only to find that the past is not dead - just deadly. A young Indian man discovers that the ultimate winner may not be so easy to predict in a clash between cultures. A quartet of old friends find their lives inextricably tangled with what may be a ghost from the prehistoric past. These are portraits in fiction of the West... fantasy as colorful as an old-time rodeo... science fiction as contemporary as the energy industry. "Ed Bryant is one of the poets of speculative fiction; his stories ar more than speculation, more than metaphor. They create a mythos. The myth throbs as some dark center we believe true in a symbolic, if not actual way. One of the highest goals of literature is the creation of myth which gives us insight into ourselves and our world. Bryant gives us that insight into a changing Wyoming, where the frontier/cowboy west meets energy technology and its technocrats." -Charles Levendosky, Author of perimeters and aspects of the vertical "Wyoming Sun justifies all the years I have prodded Ed Bryant to use his native Wyoming background in his writing. As I read the stories, I saw, heard and smelled Wyoming quite differently than before. This collection of short stories is a boon to readers and to librarians, Western Americana with a fantastic science fiction twist. My wager says you read one story, then the entire collection." -Ruby Preuit, President, Wyoming Library Association "Science fiction in Wyoming? It's true and fantastic, created by Ed Bryant in response to his home state. He links the past, the present and the future through believable characters, realistic detail, and fantasia. His unpredictable designs leave open doors that invite the reader's imagination, offer creative experience that captures interest to the last page and beyond." -Peggy Simson Curry, Author of Red Wind of Wyoming and Fire in the Water Although born originally in New York, Edward Bryant grew up on a cattle ranch at the foot of the Sybille Canyon between Laramie and Wheatland, Wyoming.

A marvelous collection of wickedly apocalyptic stories by a two-time Nebula Award winning author. "Edward Bryant is a writer of depth and compassion, at once au courant and concerned with the timeless study of the human condition. I recommend his work unequivocally." -Harlan Ellison "Not since Harlan Ellison has there been so energetic an author; when you read Bryant, you are in good hands." -Theodore Sturgeon (New York Times) "These are contemporary horror stories with monsters more frightening than old-fashioned ghosts and vampires." -Kirkus Reviews. "Compelling and totally unnerving." -Chicago Tribune

"The stories in his collection Particle Theory showed me that science could be used metaphorically to illuminate human experience, and that the personal could reinforce the "big ideas" rather than compete with them. I discovered him when I was in college, at the same time I first started reading writers like William Gibson and Gene Wolfe and John Crowley. They all expanded my ideas of what SF could do, but the one whose influence on my work is clearest is Bryant." -Ted Chiang

Tsunamis are underrated as major hazards, mainly due to the misconceptions that they occur infrequently and happen along some distant shoreline. However, evidence for past great tsunami has recently been discovered along apparently aseismic and protected coastlines, such as those of Australia and Western Europe.

It is a comprehensive and well illustrated textbook on all aspects of tsunami. This statement was just as relevant after the Japanese tsunami of 2011 and will be as relevant when the next large tsunami event happens, sooner rather than later.
