Although they existed more than a millennium apart, the great civilizations of New Kingdom Egypt (ca. 1548-1086 BCE) and Han dynasty China (206 BCE-220 CE) shared intriguing similarities. Both were centered around major, flood-prone rivers-the Nile and the Yellow River-and established complex hydraulic systems to manage their power. Both spread their territories across vast empires that were controlled through warfare and diplomacy and underwent periods of radical reform led by charismatic rulers-the "heretic king" Akhenaten and the vilified reformer Wang Mang. Universal justice was dispensed through courts, and each empire was administered by bureaucracies staffed by highly trained scribes who held special status. Egypt and China each developed elaborate conceptions of an afterlife world and created games of fate that facilitated access to these realms.

H.G. Wells claimed that the essence of science fiction is the suspension of belief. For the writer of this book, it is harder than for most, because he is qualified in zoology. While our knowledge of physics is incomplete, and such things as time travel and faster than light spaceships can be introduced with a modicum of techno-babble, the physics of living flesh is well established. Armed with this knowledge, the author sticks it to H. G. Wells, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Frank Herbert, "Star Trek", and "Avatar". While putting the kibosh on giant spiders, tiny humanoids, and interplanetary hybrids, he explains how the dinosaurs managed to get so big, and how most of what you read about early man is wrong along with a mass of other material. This volume will be essential reading to all prospective science fiction writers, and an eye-opener to all fans.

The 100 years from 1819-1919 were the most remarkable in the history of womankind. In 1819 women had no rights, no status, no options, no votes. Females were denied higher and further education. Job opportunities were menial and few. Legally, women were not even considered to be 'persons.' By 1919 they had achieved full legal rights and status; the doors of education, equality and professions had been thrown open to them; they had proved that they could do any job a man could do, and most importantly they had achieved universal suffrage.
