The bestselling author of the Earthsea trilogy, The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed presents a collection of short stories and poems that takes the reader into a magical, whimsical world where the line between human and animal is quite different from our world. Winner of the Hugo and World Fantasy Awards.Contents:"Come into animal presence / Denise Levertov --Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight --Three rock poems: Basalt --Flints --Mt. St. Helens/ Omphalos --Mazes --Wife's stories --Five vegetable poems --Torrey pines reserve --Lewis and Clarke and after --West Texas --Xmas over --Crown of Laurel --Direction of the road --Vaster than empires and more slow --Seven bird and beast poems --What is going on in the Oaks --For Ted --Found poem --Totem --Winter downs --Man eater--Sleeping out --White donkey --Horse camp --Four cat poems --Tabby Lorenzo --Black Leonard in negative space --Conversation with a silence --For Leonard, Darko, and Burton Watson --Schrodinger's cat --"Author of the Acacia seeds" and other extracts from the journal of the journal of the association of Therolinguistics --May's lion --Eighth elegy, from "Duino elegies" of R.M. Rilke --She unnames them."A spirited, gracefully polemical introduction and the final story, "She Unnames Them", frame this collection of fiction and poetry, placing it in a natural but unsentimental light. These are not really "talking animal" stories: they are about human apprehension of natural creation (including rocks and plants) and the relations this apprehension governs; or, how communication makes communities. Seven of ten stories and seven of 19 poems having already been published, while a couple of pieces read like working drafts. Among the best pieces is the title story; like many of the others, it works its effect through a reversal of the usual (human) point of view."--Library Journal.

The First Men in the Moon is a scientific romance by the English author H. G. Wells, originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from December 1900 to August 1901 and published in hardcover in 1901, who called it one of his "fantastic stories". The novel tells the story of a journey to the Moon undertaken by the two protagonists: a businessman narrator, Mr. Bedford; and an eccentric scientist, Mr. Cavor. Bedford and Cavor discover that the Moon is inhabited by a sophisticated extraterrestrial civilisation of insect-like creatures they call "Selenites". The inspiration seems to come from the famous 1870 book by Jules Verne, From the Earth to the Moon, and the opera by Jacques Offenbach from 1875. In that opera the word "selenites" is used for the first time for moon inhabitants.
