General Carl von Clausewitz's writings (translated from the
original German by Colonel J.J. Graham) revolutionized military
theory for generations to come. This edition of ON WAR inclues the
first edition's introduction (written after his death by his wife),
von Clausewitz's notes and sketches toward two chapters left
unfinished at the time of his death (compiled into "Book VII: The
Attack" and "Book VIII: The Plan of War"), plus Col. Graham's notes
and footnotes. ON WAR offers an unparalled glimpse into the
evolution of war from a gentlemanly pursuit to modern combat. An
essential volume for every military library. [Complete at 447

First published in 1909, Forster's short science fiction work, "The
Machine Stops," posits a technology-dependent humanity now living
underground, its every need serviced by machines. But what happens
if--or when--the machines stop? "The Machine Stops" was named one
of the greatest science fiction novellas published before 1965 by
the Science Fiction Writers of America.

The first issue of Oriental Stories, edited by Farnsworth Wright,
includes work by such "Weird Tales" regulars as Robert E. Howard,
Frank Owen, Otis Adelbert Kline, and many more.
Lord Dunsany's first novel, "Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of Shadow
Valley conveys its young disinherited protagonist through a
fantasized Spain, gifting him with a Sancho Panza companion, good
luck with magicians, and a castle" The Encyclopedia of Fantasy]. It
is a landmark tale for Dunsany, beginning his move from the
otherworldly short stories for which his reputation is justly
famous to novels, such as the follow-up The King of Elfland's
Daughter and The Charwoman's Shadow. L. Sprague de Camp has said:
"Dunsany was the second writer (William Morris in the 1880s being
the first) fully to exploit the possibilities of . . . adventurous
fantasy laid in imaginary lands, with gods, witches, spirits, and
magic, like children's fairy tales but on a sophisticated adult
level." But more than this, Dunsany was probably the single
greatest influence on fantasy writers during the first half of the
20th century. Lovecraft, in early fiction, like The Dream-Quest of
Unknown Kadath, imitated him, and very well. Robert E. Howard,
creator of Conan the Barbarian and founder of the popular Sword
