On a fateful day in 1957, the country saw the Boston Celtics and the St. Louis Hawks face off in one of the most dramatic NBA games in history. But the score at the final buzzer told only part of the story. Celtics rookie Bill Russell, traded by the Hawks because of his race, emerged as a new sports hero. Boston's coach Red Auerbach went on to become the ultimate winner and builder of championship teams. And the city of Boston and its beloved Celtics had their first NBA championship-and the makings of a dynasty.

Humankind has grappled for millennia with the fundamental questions of the origin and end of the universe--it was a focus of ancient religions and myths and of the inquiries of Aristotle, Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton. Today we are at the brink of discoveries that should soon reveal the deepest secrets of the universe.Alpha and Omega is a dispatch from the front lines of the cosmological revolution that is being waged at observatories and laboratories around the world-in Europe, in America, and even in Antarctica--where scientists are actually peering into both the cradle of the universe and its grave. Scientists--including galaxy hunters and microwave eavesdroppers, gravity theorists and atom smashers, all of whom are on the trail of dark matter, dark energy, and the growing inhabitants of the particle zoo-now know how the universe will end and are on the brink of understanding its beginning. Their findings will be among the greatest triumphs of science, even towering above the deciphering of the human genome. This is the book you need to help understand the frequent front-page headlines heralding dramatic cosmological discoveries. It makes cutting-edge science both crystal clear and wonderfully exciting.

"The Game of Logic" is a book written by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Lewis Carroll is best known for his literary works such as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." "The Game of Logic" is one of his lesser-known works.Published in 1886, "The Game of Logic" is a mathematical and logical treatise designed as an educational tool. It is a board game accompanied by a book that introduces readers to various logical concepts and puzzles. The game involves the use of cards and a board to teach logical reasoning and deduction in a playful manner.As with much of Lewis Carroll's work, "The Game of Logic" showcases his interest in mathematics and logic, in addition to his whimsical and creative approach to teaching. While not as famous as his Alice stories, this work reflects Carroll's dedication to education and his desire to make learning engaging and enjoyable.

This story was rejected by two top-flight science-fiction editors for the same reason: "Too hot to handle." "Too dangerous for our book." We'd like to know whether or not the readers of Amazing Stories agree. Chalmers stopped talking abruptly, warned by the sudden attentiveness of the class in front of him. They were all staring; even Guellick, in the fourth row, was almost half awake. Then one of them, taking his silence as an invitation to questions found his voice. "You say Khalid ib'n Hussein's been assassinated?" he asked incredulously. "When did that happen?" There was no past¿no future¿only a great chaotic NOW. "In 1973, at Basra." There was a touch of impatience in his voice; surely they ought to know that much. "He was shot, while leaving the Parliament Building, by an Egyptian Arab named Mohammed Noureed, with an old U. S. Army M3 submachine-gun. Noureed killed two of Khalid's guards and wounded another before he was overpowered. He was lynched on the spot by the crowd; stoned to death. Ostensibly, he and his accomplices were religious fanatics; however, there can be no doubt whatever that the murder was inspired, at least indirectly, by the Eastern Axis." The class stirred like a grain-field in the wind. Some looked at him in blank amazement; some were hastily averting faces red with poorly suppressed laughter. For a moment he was puzzled, and then realization hit him like a blow in the stomach-pit. He'd forgotten, again.

"The Gasoline Motor" is a book written by Harold Whiting Slauson. This work likely provides information and insights into the operation, mechanics, and applications of gasoline engines or motors. Given the specificity of the title, it is likely focused on the internal combustion engines that run on gasoline, addressing topics such as their design, maintenance, and practical uses.Harold Whiting Slauson was an American author and engineer, and his book on the gasoline motor may have been intended as a guide or reference for individuals interested in understanding and working with internal combustion engines, which were becoming increasingly important during the early 20th century.For those interested in the history and development of gasoline engines or those involved in the maintenance and operation of such engines, "The Gasoline Motor" by Harold Whiting Slauson could provide valuable information from the time it was written.

"The Fertility of the Unfit" is a book written by William Allan Chapple. Published in 1903, the book reflects the eugenics movement that gained prominence during the early 20th century. Eugenics was a controversial social and scientific movement that aimed to improve the genetic quality of the human population through selective breeding and sterilization.In "The Fertility of the Unfit," Chapple likely explores and discusses the theories and ideas related to eugenics. The term "unfit" in this context often referred to individuals considered less desirable from a eugenic perspective, including those with perceived physical or mental disabilities.It's important to note that the ideas and practices associated with eugenics have been widely discredited and condemned due to their unethical and discriminatory nature. The eugenics movement has been criticized for promoting harmful and discriminatory policies, including forced sterilization and other forms of reproductive control. Understanding historical perspectives on eugenics can provide insights into the ethical challenges associated with scientific and social movements of the past.

"The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants" is a book written by Charles Darwin. Originally published in 1875, it is a botanical work in which Darwin explores the behavior and adaptations of various climbing plants. This book is considered one of Darwin's later works, following his groundbreaking "On the Origin of Species."In "The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants," Darwin investigates how certain plants exhibit climbing behaviors, the mechanisms they employ, and the advantages of climbing in their natural environments. He explores topics such as the role of twining, the movement of tendrils, and the ability of plants to adapt and reach for support in their surroundings.Darwin's observations and experiments in this book contribute to the broader understanding of plant biology and adaptation. While not as widely known as some of his other works, it reflects Darwin's meticulous approach to scientific inquiry and his curiosity about the natural world.

"The Mind of Primitive Man" is a book written by Franz Boas, a prominent anthropologist. Originally published in 1911, the book is considered a foundational work in the field of anthropology. Franz Boas is often regarded as one of the founding figures of modern anthropology in North America.In "The Mind of Primitive Man," Boas challenges the prevailing ideas of the time regarding the superiority or inferiority of different cultures. He argues against racial determinism and advocates for cultural relativism, asserting that cultural practices and beliefs should be understood within their specific historical and social contexts.The book addresses topics such as language, myth, art, and social organization among various Indigenous cultures, providing insights into the diversity of human thought and expression. Boas's approach laid the groundwork for a more nuanced and respectful understanding of different cultures, emphasizing the importance of studying societies in their own terms rather than imposing external judgments.

Early that morning, Luke Huber stood before the Pennsylvania Railroad Station at Americus and fancied himself a latter-day crusader setting out to reconquer from the infidels the modern Holy City of God. He had graduated from the Harvard Law-School in the previous June. Now the Republican brother-in-law of one of his classmates, having been elected District-Attorney of corruptly Democratic New York, offered a place on his staff to Luke as soon as Huber should meet successfully the necessary formalities. This new public-prosecutor was to "clean up" the largest city in the country, and Luke, as his assistant, was to aid in restoring to the metropolis the ideals of the framers of the Constitution. A slim young man, with a smooth face too rugged to be handsome, and gray eyes too keen to be always dreaming, Huber stood erect, the wide collar of his woolen overcoat turned up, for the spring lingered that year in the valleys of Virginia, and the brim of his Alpine hat pulled over his nose. He disregarded the group of boys waiting for the "up-train" that would bring the Philadelphia morning newspapers to his native Pennsylvania town, disregarded the grimy station-buildings, and looked toward the river, where the morning mists were lifting and the cold sunshine was creeping through to light the Susquehanna hills.

"Nothing ever happens to me!" Larry Manahan grumbled under his breath, sitting behind his desk at the advertising agency which employed his services in return for the consideration of fifty a week. "All the adventure I know is what I see in the movies, or read about in magazines. What wouldn't I give for a slice of real life!" Unconsciously, he tensed the muscles of his six feet of lean, hard body. His crisp, flame-colored hair seemed to bristle; his blue eyes blazed. He clenched a brown hammer of a fist. Larry felt himself an energetic, red-blooded square peg, badly afflicted with the urge for adventure, miserably wedged in a round hole. It is one of the misfortunes of our civilization that a young man who, for example, might have been an excellent pirate a couple of centuries ago, must be kept chained to a desk. And that seemed to be Larry's fate. "Things happen to other people," he muttered. "Why couldn't an adventure come to me?" He sat, staring wistfully at a picture of a majestic mountain landscape, soon to be used in the advertising of a railway company whose publicity was handled by his agency, when the jangle of the telephone roused him with a start.

TALBOT had been working that day, far up in the Catalinas, looking over some mining prospects for his company, and was returning to the Mountain View Hotel in Oracle when, from the mouth of an abandoned shaft some distance back of that town, he saw a strange object emerge. "Hello," he said to Manuel, his young Mexican assistant, "what the devil can that be?" Manuel crossed himself swiftly. "Dios!" he exclaimed, "but it is a queer bird, señor." Queer, it certainly was, and of a species Talbot had never before laid eyes on. The bird stood on the crumbling rim of the mining shaft and regarded him with golden eyes. Its body was as large as that of a buzzard, and its head had a flat, reptilian look, unpleasant to see. Nor was that the only odd thing. The feathers glittered metallically, like blued copper, and a streak of glistening silver outlined both wings.
