In 1988, in an article on the analysis of the measurements of the
variations in the radial velocities of a number of stars, Campbell,
Walker, and Yang reported an - teresting phenomenon;the radial
velocity variations of Cephei seemed to suggest the existence of a
Jupiter-like planet around this star. This was a very exciting and,
at the same time, very surprising discovery. It was exciting
because if true, it would have marked the detection of the ?rst
planet outside of our solar system. It was surprising because the
planet-hosting star is the primary of a binary system with a
separation less than 19 AU, a distance comparable to the planetary
distances in our solar system. The moderatelyclose orbit of the
stellar companionof Cephei raised questions about the reality of
its planet. The skepticism over the interpretation of the results
(which was primarily based on the idea that binary star systems
with small sepa- tions would not be favorable places for planet
formation) became so strong that in a subsequent paper in 1992,
Walker and his colleagues suggested that the planet in the Cephei
binary might not be real, and the variations in the radial velocity
of this star might have been due to its chromospheric activities.

beliefs. This book reveals who and what is the Creator (known as

realm, the why of it's creation, the how and why of human's
creation and human's purpose in this physical realm. It defines the
Universal life Energy (known as the soul) and how human in easy,
simple, fun way can use the function and abilities within this
energy to live a daily life of only the joy and happiness. Live a

Wherever vampires existed in the imaginations of different
peoples, they adapted themselves to the customs of the local
culture. As a result, vampire lore is extremely diverse. So too,
representations of the vampire in creative works have been marked
by much originality. In "The Vampyre" (1819), John Polidori
introduced Lord Ruthven and established the vampire craze of the
19th century that resulted in a flood of German vampire poetry,
French vampire drama, and British vampire fiction. This tradition
culminated in Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (1897), which fixed the
character of the Transylvanian nobleman as the archetypal vampire
firmly in the public imagination. Numerous films drew from Stoker's
novel to varying degrees, with each emphasizing different elements
of his vampire character. And more recent writers have created
works in which vampirism is used to explore contemporary social
concerns.
The contributors to this volume discuss representations of the
vampire in fiction, folklore, film, and popular culture. The first
section includes chapters on Stoker and his works, with attention
to such figures as Oscar Wilde and Edvard Munch. The second section
explores the vampire in film and popular culture from Bela Lugosi
to "Blacula." The volume then looks at such modern writers as Anne
Rice and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro who have adapted the vampire legend
to meet their artistic needs. A final section studies contemporary
issues, such as vampirism as a metaphor for AIDS in ""Killing
Zoe."
This book describes a wide variety of speculations by many
authors about the consequences for humanity of coming into contact
with extraterrestrial intelligence. The assumptions underlying
those speculations are examined, and some conclusions are drawn.
The book emphasizes the consequences of contact rather than the
search, and takes account of popular views. As necessary
background, the book also includes brief summaries of the history
of thinking about extraterrestrial intelligence, searches for life
and for signals, contrasting paradigms of how contact might take
place, and the paradox that those paradigms allegedly create.
