Axis (novel)
2007 novel by Robert Charles Wilson
Axis is a science fiction novel by American-Canadian writer Robert Charles Wilson, published in 2007. It is a direct sequel to Wilson's Hugo Award-winning "Spin", published two years earlier. The novel was a finalist for the 2008 John W. Campbell Award. Plot summary. "Axis" takes place on the new planet introduced at the end of "Spin", a world the Hypotheticals engineered to support human life and connected to Earth by way of the Arch that towers hundreds of miles over the Indian Ocean. Humans are colonizing this new world — and, predictably, fiercely exploiting its resources, chiefly large deposits of oil in the western deserts of the continent of Equatoria. Lise Adams is a young woman attempting to uncover the mystery of her father's disappearance ten years earlier. Turk Findley is an ex-sailor and sometimes-drifter. They come together when showers of cometary dust seed the planet with tiny remnant Hypothetical machines. Soon, this seemingly hospitable world becomes very alien, as the nature of time is once again twisted by entities unknown. A quasi-religious group of "Fourths" from Earth, led by Dr. Avram Dvali, lives in the desert seeded by falling dust. They've created a child they call Isaac with a Martian upgrade (fatal to adults) that connects him with the Hypotheticals. The Fourth-hunting "Department of Genomic Security" is searching for this group or for a visiting Martian Fourth who disapproves of Isaac's creation. Sequel.

Baby (Thorup novel)
1973 novel by Kirsten Thorup
Baby is a 1973 novel by Danish author Kirsten Thorup. It deals with the disadvantaged members of society, those who have failed to make a mark. The novel traces the movements of a selection of losers as they leave a cheap Copenhagen nightclub. There is Mark, a car salesman heavily in debt who ultimately separates from his pretty wife, Suzie who goes off to Sweden on a drunken escape, Leni who translates porno rather than the book she would like to complete, and many others. The losers are contrasted with Eddy, a loan shark, who causes increasing distress among his clients.

The book is written in a simple style that is easy to read—whether as a novel or as an ambitious experiment. The novel was awarded the Pegasus Prize for Literature in 1979.

Cathy's Key
Cathy’s Key (2008) is a novel continuing the storyline established in the first part of its series, "Cathy's Book" (2006). The story is written by Sean Stewart and Jordan Weisman, and illustrated by Cathy Briggs. As did its predecessor, the book takes the form of a 216-page journal written by the protagonist, Cathy Vickers. The book immediately picks up after book one of the series concludes, and follows Cathy in her quest to discover more about the mysterious and dangerous world of the immortals. Although many of the same characters (Emma, Cathy’s best friend, and Victor, Cathy’s boyfriend) are involved in the plot, there are also new characters introduced that complicate the storyline. For instance, a stranger met on a bus trip has developed by the end of the book into a major character, and new relatives such as Tsao, Victor’s father, appear in surprising and sometimes disturbing ways. At its most basic level, the plot involves Cathy attempting to navigate the treacherous world that the immortals inhabit while not imperiling herself or those she loves. Although high school graduation has come and passed and Cathy still doesn't have a job, she manages to keep busy by avoiding lovestruck immortals, trying to help her boyfriend discover the key to immortality, and in her free time delving into the mystery surrounding her father’s death. Although the story ends in another dramatic cliffhanger that leaves much to be resolved, Cathy’s saga continues in the third installation of the series, "Cathy’s Ring" (2010). Form.

Answer: Sean Stewart

Weapon (novel)
1989 novel by Robert Mason
Weapon is a 1989 science fiction novel by Robert Mason. The book was Mason's first novel; he had previously written a memoir about his experiences in Vietnam titled "Chickenhawk". The book is about an android, designed to kill, which experiences a crisis of conscience and runs away from its government masters to live in a Nicaraguan village. Plot. The novel describes a new weapon system being developed for the US military, named Solo. A robot, Solo is designed to replace human soldiers in battle. It is humanoid in shape, in order to allow it to use all the military vehicles and equipment human soldiers do. Solo is capable of feats of great speed, strength and endurance. Most importantly, Solo is governed by a neural network computer which is able to learn and think much as a human brain does. The robot's designer recognises that this could potentially make Solo as unpredictable and difficult to control as any human is; the military therefore insist that Solo be told a carefully edited version of world history and politics in which the United States are in all cases the unambiguously "good guys" and winners of all conflicts - for example Solo is told that the US won a clear victory in the Vietnam War. Despite his indoctrination, Solo begins to display what his designers consider aberrant behaviour. He begins to question and occasionally refuse his orders. For example, on one training session Solo is assigned to shoot a human target in a sniper mission. He is told that the mission and target are real, and that he is to genuinely kill the person. He point blank refuses to do so.

Answer: Robert Mason, Robert C. Mason

The book remained unpublished until the International Wizard of Oz Club brought out the first edition in 1993, with illustrations by Eric Shanower. The club declared it book 45 in the series. In the documentary, "", Payes states that she refused all requests to read her manuscript with "not 'til it's a book." Synopsis. The title character is Singra, the Wicked Witch of the South.

It is likely that Weber compiled that research in 1911–1913, although it contains materials he found before that time. The analysis of city consists of many different subjects—including study of religion (especially Protestantism), history of development of democracy in Western Europe. Weber argues that the development of cities in European culture (Occidental cities) as an associations with its own municipal officials was influenced by such factors as:
That made the city's population easily influenced by later ideas of the Reformers. In Weber's own words:
&lt;templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" /&gt;The origin of a rational and inner-worldly ethic is associated in the Occident with the appearance of thinkers and prophets [...] who developed in a social context which was alien to the Asiatic cultures. This context consisted of the political problems engendered by the bourgeois status-group of the city, without which neither Judaism, nor Christianity, nor the development of Hellenistic thinking are conceivable.
