The immortal space saga of the STAR COMMANDOS continues. In the fourth volume of this compelling and endearing adventure series, the STAR COMMANDOS journey to Mirelle of Eri, the dreaded Death Planet, to foil the conspiracy of a rogue pirate fleet. Yet the greatest danger isn't the pirates and their weaponry, but rather the plague of deadly fungus lying dormant in the caves of the watery planet, waiting for prey to consume with its flesh-eating spores. "The most suspenseful and nail-biting episode of the STAR COMMANDOS to date. Once you start it, you can't put it down! Absolutely electrifying!"—Robert E. Gelinas Author, The Mustard Seed For the War Prince Varn Tarl Sogan, the Death Planet is his greatest test-to return to the place where he witnessed first-hand the savage carnage of the fungus, and where many of the ships he formerly commanded still lie, only to be cannibalized and appropriated by space pirates, who themselves are unaware of the spores of death with which they might infect the ultrasystem if any are allowed to leave Mirelle of Eri alive. "Excellent SF Adventure!"—Andre Norton Journey with the STAR COMMANDOS through vast and ancient caverns, fording underground rivers, crawling through a chillingly tight labyrinth of tunnels, scaling chimney towers, and inching across thin ribbon ledges with danger around every turn. This mission challenges the COMMANDOS unlike anything they've faced before, testing their endurance and resolve to the point of sheer desperation.

Planet Earth is middle-aged. Science has worked hard to piece together the story of the evolution of our world up to this point, but only recently have we developed the understanding and the tools to describe the entire life cycle of a planet. Ward and Brownlee, a geologist and an astronomer respectively, combine their knowledge of how the critical sustaining systems of our planet evolve through time with their understanding of the life cycles of stars and solar systems, to tell the story of the second half of Earth's life. The process of evolution will essentially reverse itself: life as we know it will subside until only the simplest forms remain. Eventually, they too will disappear. The oceans will evaporate, the atmosphere will degrade, and, as the sun slowly expands, Earth itself will eventually meet a fiery end. --From publisher description.

It is a book of Planet Earth, which the Planet Earth gave to the author, because the author asked the Planet Earth for the book of the world. The author is a human being who lost faith in God and called on Planet Earth to do work and save human beings from evil and death in the world. This is a book of a human being who was challenged by evil and death in the world, and the human being called on his existence for help and protection. The author did not like to die in the world and told his existence that he did not want to die, because the author believed that Planet Earth has the power to save human beings in the world. The Existence is the faith, the hope, and the charity that God challenged human beings to find and tell the mountain of evil and death to move away from human beings.

The present rate and extent of species extinction -- estimated by some scientists as one species every 20 minutes -- are unprecedented in the history of mankind. Human activities are responsible for nearly all species loss, yet ethical aspects of this crisis are rarely mentioned. Any concern expressed tends to be over potentially valuable resources -- information for scientists, or compounds that could be used in new medicines -- that are lost when a species disappears. In The Death of Our Planet's Species, Martin Gorke argues that such a utilitarian perspective is not only shortsighted but morally bankrupt. Holding doctoral degrees in both ecology and philosophy, Gorke is uniquely qualified to examine the extinction crisis from both scientific and philosophical perspectives. He offers a wide-ranging review of the literature on the subject, drawing together those two lines of reasoning that are almost always pursued separately. After critical examination of the current state of relevant ecological knowledge, Gorke presents a carefully considered case for attributing intrinsic value to all of nature, including all species. At the heart of his argument is an analysis of the concept of morality. According to this analysis, the universal character of morality does not permit us to establish limits of moral considerability. More precisely, every act of exclusion from the moral community is an arbitrary act and is not compatible with a moral point of view. The Death of Our Planet's Species sets forth a sound and original argument about the philosophical and ethical dimensions of species conservation. Throughout, the author combines a high level of theoretical sophistication with clear and straightforward writing. Orignially published in German, this Island Press edition makes The Death of Our Planet's Species available for the first time to English-speaking experts and lay readers.
