Ulysses (1922) is a novel by the Irish author James Joyce. It was first serialised in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, in Paris. Joyce's technical innovations in the art of the novel... he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions. One of the most important works of Modernist literature, it has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." Written over a seven-year period from 1914 to 1921. No book has ever been more eagerly and curiously awaited by the strange little inner circle of book-lovers and littérateurs than James Joyce's "Ulysses".

Geo is a handsome 25-year-old Italian want-a-be aristocrat of 1465 that pines for a chance to trade in the riches of the Far East. An old Arab offers him a secret map to China that is his chance to gain wealth and power. The map is his special ticket to an incredible valley, where life is extended thousands of years. He finds a fantastic love awaits, beyond anything he can imagine and in fourteen short years he fathers thousands of children. He learns to understand life, love and passion beyond the possessive, hurtful, demanding nature of “love†in the outside world. But, the gift of extended life carries a big price. As they drink “The Waters†all gradually become sterile. Aliens are the true reason for the sterility as well as extended life, but the aliens never came across a planet where sex is a means of procreation and they too must learn to co-exist in an open symbiotic relationship. Follow Geo in this thought stimulating and exciting sensual adventure in a place called “The Valley.â€
There was such a wealth of diverse knowledge in the Valley to tap into. But even
that wellspring soon ran dry and Geo's mind was impatient, seeking more ... ever
more. Geo had a few projects he really dove into and enjoyed like the Roman
bath adaptation. He diverted the hot springs and cool mountain streams to merge
into a long, thin waterfall. What made it so unique to the Valley, and probably to
the world, was that it had varying temperatures within ...

One of the most popular and widely known characters in all of fiction, Sherlock Holmes has an enduring appeal based largely on his uncanny ability to make the most remarkable deductions from the most mundane facts. The very first words that Sherlock Holmes ever says to Dr. Watson are, "How are you? You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." Watson responds, "How on earth did you know that?" And so a crime-solving legend is born. In The Scientific Sherlock Holmes, James O'Brien provides an in-depth look at Holmes's use of science in his investigations. Indeed, one reason for Holmes's appeal is his frequent use of the scientific method and the vast scientific knowledge which he drew upon to solve mysteries. For instance, in heart of the book, the author reveals that Holmes was a pioneer of forensic science, making use of fingerprinting well before Scotland Yard itself had adopted the method. One of the more appealing aspects of the book is how the author includes real-world background on topics such as handwriting analysis, describing how it was used to capture the New York Zodiac killer and to clinch the case against the Lindbergh baby kidnapper. Sherlock Holmes was knowledgeable about several sciences, most notably chemistry. Therefore the book takes a close look at Holmes the chemist and discusses, for example, chemical poisons such as carbon monoxide, chloroform, and Prussic acid (the historical name for hydrogen cyanide). The author also debunks Isaac Asimov's famous assertion that Holmes was a blundering chemist. In addition, the book discusses mathematics, physics, biology, astronomy, meteorology, and geology, always in the context of Holmes's exploits. Sherlock Holmes continues to fascinate millions of readers and movie goers alike. The Scientific Sherlock Holmes is a must-read for the legion of fans of this most beloved of all fictional detectives.
Sherlock Holmes is the most recognizable character in all of literature. The first
Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet (STUD), was published in 1887. Today,
over 125 years later, when a deerstalker hat is seen in a book, movie, TV ad, or
billboard, the public automatically thinks “Sherlock Holmes.” Old movies run on
television again and again. New movies are made with consistent regularity.
