Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I began writing about power because I had so little, Octavia E. Butler once said. Butler's life as an African American woman--an alien in American society and among science fiction writers--informed the powerful works that earned her an ardent readership and acclaim both inside and outside science fiction. Gerry Canavan offers a critical and holistic consideration of Butler's career. Drawing on Butler's personal papers, Canavan tracks the false starts, abandoned drafts, tireless rewrites, and real-life obstacles that fed Butler's frustrations and launched her triumphs. Canavan departs from other studies to approach Butler first and foremost as a science fiction writer working within, responding to, and reacting against the genre's particular canon. The result is an illuminating study of how an essential SF figure shaped themes, unconventional ideas, and an unflagging creative urge into brilliant works of fiction.

Book excerpt: Naturalist and long-time turkey hunter Jay Langston brings years of hard-won experience gained in the study and pursuit of Melea-gris gallopavo--the extraordinary American wild turkey--to the pages of the Turkey Hunter's Tool Kit. This, the first book in a planned three volume set, is a primer on the use of the "tools of the trade, " and a guide, not only to the practical use of a turkey hunter's gun and load, but to their ethical employment as well. Approximately 2.6 million turkey hunters pursue these elusive birds in the spring or fall in 49 states. The sport of turkey hunting has the second-highest number of participants and is the fastest-growing form of hunting today. Pursuing these wily birds calls for the ultimate in woodcraft, skill and wise use of equipment. Turkey Hunter's Tool Kit provides both the novice and seasoned turkey hunter with a fair measure of technical insight blended with strong anecdotal presentation of experience earned through days spent afield.
