In the middle of the last century an unknown writer emblazoned his credo across Henry Miller's studio wall: "At 10 man is an animal. At 20 a lunatic. At 30 a failure. At 40 a fraud. And at 50 a criminal." This is the loosely adopted paradigm that underpins The Age of Cladan; an age-by-page portrait of a misanthrope in Australia.

"What lies curl dry off a wishing well's wall? Is the world an eye and an eye a world?" Sardine Can is packed with 60 oblique tales and poems of assorted bit players at large; chiefly the mad, the bad, and the brokenhearted. Some traverse seas, wars, the twilight years, and squalor; others, the forlorn ruins of their consciences. There are weddings, funerals, road trips, and obsessions; loners, musos, insomniacs, and lovers. With ennui the haunting starts out early as just as sting. It first creeps within the marrow, then trawls across the apron of the heart like a salted Ouija glass; their tongues just strings in their throats . . .

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 civilizationincluding the ways that we produce and experience artbeyond 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.

This book features stunning imagery captured by the Hubble Space Telescope and explains how Hubble has advanced our understanding of the universe and our creation.
