Synopsis
|
Genly
Ai is an emissary
from the human
galaxy to Winter,
a lost, stray
world. His mission
is to bring the
planet back into
the fold of an
evolving galactic
civilization, but
to do so he must
bridge the gulf
between his own
culture and
prejudices and
those that he
encounters. On a
planet where
people are of no
gender--or
both--this is a
broad gulf indeed. |

Review
|
Winner
of the Hugo and
Nebula Awards
'Ursula K Le
Guin's world of
winter is real:
from the first
page you find
yourself totally
immersed in it,
and at the last
page you come out
of it with a start
and a
shiver.
Anybody who can
write a novel like
this has my
respect and
admiration.'

Titan's
Puzzles
Although
the
Huygens
probe has
now
pierced
the murky
skies of
Titan and
landed on
its
surface,
much of
the moon
remains
for the
Cassini
spacecraft
to
explore.
Titan
continues
to present
exciting
puzzles.
This view
of Titan
uncovers
new
territory
not
previously
seen at
this
resolution
by
Cassini's
cameras.
The view
is a
composite
of four
nearly
identical
wide-angle
camera
images. |
