Step into a world of your own making . . . Worldbuilding is one of the great pleasures of writing science fiction and fantasy -- and also one of its greatest challenges. Award-winning fantasy author Marie Brennan draws on her academic training in anthropology to peel back the layers of a setting, going past the surface details to explore questions many authors never think to answer. She invites you to consider the endless variety of real-world cultures -- from climate to counterfeiting, from sumptuary laws to slang --and the equally endless possibilities speculative fiction has to offer. This volume collects essays from the first year of the New Worlds Patreon.

They said it couldn't be done ... all the myriad worlds which have been sought out and explored through more than 500 television episodes and nine Star Trek movies, mapped, illustrated and brought to life in the pages of a comprehensive Star Trek atlas. From the comparatively crowded space of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, home to Earth and Vulcan, Bajor and Betazed, the Cardassian Union and the Romulan and Klingon Empires; to the distant Gamma Quadrant controlled by the Dominion; to the far reaches of the Delta Quadrant, home space of the Borg, where of Federation explorers only the crew of the USS Voyager has ever been; NEW WORLDS, NEW CIVILIZATIONS catalogues peoples and planets from all four corners of the galaxy. Ever wondered where the blue-skinned Bolians originated from? Or what it is like on the permanently frozen homeworld of the bloodless Breen? From the first world that the first away team landed on under the command of Christopher Pike in the original pilot episode 'The Cage' (a world that has been off-limits to the Federation ever since), to the world of the Ba'ku as seen in 'Star Trek: Insurrection', all these and many more are described and depicted in all their fascinating detail by a team of star-studded contributors. Produced in the finest tradition of bestselling Star Trek illustrated reference from Pocket Books such as The Art of Star Trek and Where No Man Has Gone Before, NEW WORLDS, NEW CIVILIZATIONS will be an essential addition to every Trekker's shelves.

It is the year 2047. When a huge 110 mile wide asteroid - hurtling towards Earth - is discovered by Eddie Thompson, the governments of the time realize the devastating implications for the future of mankind. They put their differences aside to work together in secret, trying to devise a means to remove the threat of this asteroid, but also a means to escape Earth should their best efforts fail. A colonizer ship is constructed in out of sight of the public behind the moon, and no expenses are spared. The last nuclear warheads are placed on ballistic missiles and launched to either deflect or destroy the asteroid - named Derak - but in the end their plans fails miserably and in 2054 it crashes into India, ending all life. Nothing survives the apocalyptic disaster. But not before a hundred and forty thousand carefully selected people escape on the first interstellar ship ever built - the Genesis - and head towards a known Earth like planet discovered earlier around a far away star. In Genesis, the last survivors of humanity travel for sixty years at near light speed and in deep sleep until they arrive at the new planetary system of 10 Tauri, where they find against all odds a new Earth teeming with life, and here they take on a fantastic adventure of colonizing this new world, set in a Jurassic -type era. When one of the landing shuttles crash in a remote jungle, their survival is complicated by the discovery of two primitive civilizations at war...

Some of the most important developments of the last quarter century relate to the internationalization of financial issues: the advent of free trade areas; the efforts of the European Union in establishing a single currency; burdens of international indebtedness; and the economic growth and development of nations.International financial systems are increasingly fragile and vulnerable in the face of possible international financial shock. Exchange rate issues and other changes in financial conditions have profound consequences not only for multinational corporations which have to devise new ways of managing their global operations, but also for firms and industries at the national level.The papers in this book confront these and other problems in international finance that have arisen in recent years, seeking to identify causal linkages at the global, national and company levels.
