William Barton; Michael Capobianco Alpha Centauri
Eos 0380782057 / 9780380782055 PAPERBACK Very Good
0380782057 From a grossly overpopulated Earth in 2239 A.D., an exploratory colonization mission to Alpha Centauri finds Mies Cochrane carrying an autovirus inside him that, after sexual intercourse, halts conception?the perfect birth control. The explorers discover the remains of an ancient civilization and a way to see what caused their extinction through the eyes of the last, long-dead inhabitant. The authors (Iris, LJ 2/15/90) make a strong statement about overpopulation, solutions to it, and humanity's purpose for existing. This thought-provoking book, a mix of sexually explicit passages and scientific exposition, is recommended for adult sf collections.

William Shakespeare; Anne Barton Tempest, The (Penguin) (Shakespeare, Penguin)
Penguin Classics 0140707131 / 9780140707137 PAPERBACK Good
0140707131 Editorial Reviews nReview n'Stephen Orgel is an inspired choice as editor of this play ... he produces a clean, modestly innovative text with brisk, informative annotation ... wide ranging, speculative introduction' Martin Butler, University of Leeds, Notes and Queries n n'a fascinating, challenging and highly original volume' Cahiers Elisabethians n nDensely detailed (yet easy on the eyes), this World's Classics edition of Tempest is far and away the best paperback available.--Robert A. Morace, Daemon College nA fine edition that combines the clarity I demand of a teaching text with the perspicuity I expect in a research text. In the crowd of serviceable texts thronging the market, Orgel's is a standout.--Joseph Lyle, University of Virginia n nThe best notes of any edition I've used. Lewis Ward, Exeter University --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. Review nDavid Lindley's Tempest is the best edition on the market. [...] If I were ever again to undertake the editing of a Shakespeare play, I would keep Lindley's edition of The Tempest open beside me. -Studies in Theatre and Performance (UK) n n[Lindley's] edition meets the high standards of the series in an exemplary manner, offering an especially fine introduction. -Studies in English Literature n nDavid Lindley's edition of The Tempest is easily the most outstanding version of this ostensibly straightforward yet hugely teasing play produced over the last thirty years. Its precise and scrupulous commentary notes are careful to the variety of ways the text can be spoken on stage. Its notes on the music and songs are admirably evocative, and its economical account of the huge range of critical views will send thousands of readers out in fruitful chases after the play's own multitudinous interests. - Andrew Gurr, editor of the forthcoming New Variorum Tempest --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
