Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.

The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing ; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it ; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe ; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it.

Il materiale che compone questo libro è stato recuperato dai quattro computer e dagli archivi dell'autore, stroncato da un infarto l'11 maggio 2001 a 49 anni. Questa raccolta comprende tra l'altro una lettera al direttore di una rivista per ragazzi (scritta nel 1965 quando Adams aveva 12 anni); un sognante ricordo della sua lunga storia d'amore per i Beatles, scritto a 40 anni; un pezzo pubblicato nel 1991 intitolato "Il mio naso" e un articolo in cui Adams chiarisce la sua passione per il whiskey ma soprattutto i dieci capitoli in progress del romanzo che stava completando dal titolo appunto "Il salmone del dubbio".

Ovason argues that previous translations have got it wrong, because they failed to realise that Nostradamus was writing in an esoteric language called the 'green language'. Where previous translations have seemed to stretch a point to make a quotation fit an historical event, Ovason reveals the prophet's true prophecies regarding the American and French revolutions, the Franco-Prussian, First, Second and Third world wars, earthquakes, floods, the Antichrist and the end of the world. Properly seen, Ovason argues, Nostradamus is the greatest Western prophet to commit his prophecies to writing since the Old Testament.

Lontano, nei dimenticati spazi non segnati nelle carte geografiche dell'estremo limite della Spirale Ovest della Galassia, c'è un piccolo e insignificante sole giallo. A orbitare intorno a esso, alla distanza di centoquarantanove milioni di chilometri, c'è un piccolo, trascurabilissimo pianeta azzurro-verde, le cui forme di vita, discendenti dalle scimmie, sono così incredibilmente primitive che credono ancora che gli orologi da polso digitali siano un'ottima invenzione...

John King Fairbank was the West's doyen on China, and this book is the full and final expression of his lifelong engagement with this vast ancient civilization. The distinguished historian Merle Goldman brings the book up to date and provides an epilogue discussing the changes in contemporary China that will shape the nation in the years to come.

Compiled from more than four hundred hours of channeling by Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn imparts to us the wisdom of the Pleiadians, a group of enlightened beings who have come to Earth to help us discover how to reach a new stage of evolution. Master storytellers and humorists, they advise us to become media free, to work in teams, and to eliminate the words "should" and "try" from our vocabularies. We learn how to go beyond fear, how the original human was a magnificent being with twelve strands of DNA and twelve chakra centers, and who our "gods" are. Startling, intense, intelligent, and controversial, these teachings offer essential reading for anyone questioning their existence on this planet and the direction of our collective conscious--and unconscious. By remembering that we are Family of Light, that we share an ancient ancestry with the universe around us, we become "bringers of the dawn," consciously creating a new reality, a new Earth.
