One of NPR's Best Books of 2016 and a Hugo, Nebula, John W. Campbell, and Locus Award finalist for Best Novella Professor Vellitt Boe teaches at the prestigious Ulthar Women’s College. When one of her most gifted students elopes with a dreamer from the waking world, Vellitt must retrieve her. "Kij Johnson's haunting novella The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is both a commentary on a classic H.P. Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a woman's life. Vellitt's quest to find a former student who may be the only person who can save her community takes her through a world governed by a seemingly arbitrary dream logic in which she occasionally glimpses an underlying but mysterious order, a world ruled by capricious gods and populated by the creatures of dreams and nightmares. Those familiar with Lovecraft's work will travel through a fantasy landscape infused with Lovecraftian images viewed from another perspective, but even readers unfamiliar with his work will be enthralled by Vellitt's quest. A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading." —Pamela Sargent, winner of the Nebula Award At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

**One of Bill Gates' Top Five Book Recommendations* The wondrous and illuminating story of humankind's quest to discover the fundamentals of chemistry, culminating in Mendeleyev's dream of the Periodic Table. In 1869 Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleyev was puzzling over a way to bring order to the fledgling science of chemistry. Wearied by the effort, he fell asleep at his desk. What he dreamed would fundamentally change the way we see the world.Framing this history is the life story of the nineteenth-century Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleyev, who fell asleep at his desk and awoke after conceiving the periodic table in a dream-the template upon which modern chemistry is founded and the formulation of which marked chemistry's coming of age as a science. From ancient philosophy through medieval alchemy to the splitting of the atom, this is the true story of the birth of chemistry and the role of one man's dream. In this elegant, erudite, and entertaining book, Paul Strathern unravels the quixotic history of chemistry through the quest for the elements.

[This is an 11-week workbook to go along with Gabi Kelley's book, The Footsteps of a Dreamer. It's designed for personal study or to be used as part of a small group.] Dear Dreamer, Let's embark on the adventure of a God-dream together. This 11-week workbook is intended to add depth, strength, and muscle to your journey through The Footsteps of a Dreamer. Each week, we will set our compasses, take out The Dreamer's Atlas, and embark on an in-depth exploration through each chapter of The Footsteps of a Dreamer. MONDAY we will find a Point of Interest and stop to ponder a unique and breathtaking perspective on the week's concept. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and THURSDAY we'll trek through the woods and stop at Guideposts along the way. At each Guidepost, we will pull out the map of the Word and glean wisdom and insight for the next part of our journey. FRIDAY is the day we set up camp. Here we rest and reflect on what God has done in, through, and for us during the week, using Psalm 23 as our meditation. I cannot wait to begin this quest with you! Discover more encouragement and direction for your God-dream at GabiRuth.com and in Gabi's podcast, Monday Morning Espresso.
