Colt Peacemaker

Colt Peacemaker

The Colt Single Action Army — also known as the Peacemaker, is a single action revolver with a revolving cylinder holding six metallic cartridges.

The Colt Single Action Army has been offered in over 30 different calibers and various barrel lengths. Its overall appearance has remained consistent since 1873. Colt has discontinued its production twice, but brought it back due to popular demand. The revolver was popular with ranchers, lawmen, and outlaws alike, but current models are mostly bought by collectors and reenactors. Its design has influenced the production of numerous other models from other companies.

It remained in production until 1873, when revolvers using fixed metallic cartridges came into widespread use. Total production numbers were exceeded only by the Colt Pocket models in concurrent development, and numbered some 250,000 domestic units and about 22,000 produced in the Colt London Armory.

Astounding Days

Astounding Days
Scientist and grand master of the genre ( 2001: A Space Odyssey) Clarke has given us a memoir of his youth. It centers on three editors, Harry Bates, F. Orlin Tremaine, and John W. Campbell, who created the magazine now known as Analog (until 1960 it was called Astounding Science Fiction ). Clarke gives his reaction to the writers and illustrators who first aroused his interest in science fiction. The scientific ferment of the 1930s and the 1940s is related to the ideas of the period and to the author's work in rocketry and radar. A sweeping view of popular science and popular fiction.

The Promise of Space

The Promise of Space
The Promise of Space is written for the same intelligent laymen the author had in mind in The Exploration of Space (1951) ""all those who are interested in the 'why' and 'how' of astronautics, yet do not wish to go into too many scientific details."" Even the least scientifically inclined reader will be able to follow some of his history of space flight, his explanation of how one proceeds when ...
More there is ""nothing to push against,"" his run-through of an Apollo mission or discussion of time dilation and the Theory of Relativity. Dr. Clarke eschews the military in his space probe (the moon may be of value for radio astronomy, as a colony, for example), accentuates the positive. ""In the long run, the Comsat will be mightier than the ICBM."" He bemuses with such thoughts as a million year trip to Proxima Centauri, or the fact that if there were an elevator to the moon, it would only cost ten dollars per passenger. Somehow he convinces that while the universe may be way out, it is also within reach.

How the World was One
This is a collection of new and recycled material in which Clarke tells the story of some of the engineering breakthroughs that made the communications revolution possible. Librarians may question the need for this book: Clarke includes speeches, articles, and some book chapters available elsewhere. But the author's engaging, personable voice and his positive enthusiasm for things scientific are worth encountering again and again. Most enjoyable is "Wiring the Abyss," a true adventure of the laying of the first transatlantic cables starring an amazing cast of Victorian eccentrics, businessmen, and scientists.

The View from Serendip

The View from Serendip
Everyone knows Arthur C. Clarke as one of the best -- many would say THE best -- science fiction writer of all-time, but it is often forgotten nowadays that, at least up until the 1970's, Clarke was also one of the best and most prolific popularizers of science.
The pieces themselves consist mostly of space articles (mainly projections of future society), a few articles about Clarke's home, Sri Lanka (once called Serendip, hence the title), a handful of speeches, autobiographical fragments, exactly one piece of fiction, and a smattering of various other types of articles. As the lifeblood of the book is a series of essays giving future projections for years that have now passed us by, it is easy to dismiss this book as dated, as most have; and, indeed, it will probably never again be in general circulation. However, there is a certain fascination about these articles when looked back upon with hindsight. It is always interesting to see where Clarke was dead-on (describing the internet in almost exact detail nearly 40 years ago, for instance), and where he was wholly off-target (predicting stellar conolization by the end of the 20th century). Few futurists have been as compelling -- and frequently accurate -- as Clarke, and these pieces always make for interesting reading. The two articles on Sri Lanka are very informative and make for great reading, infused with the love and admiration that Clarke obviously has for his home. These pieces, and some of the others, are of a very personal nature, which is quite unusual for the guarded and normally abstract Clarke -- quite a treat for long-time fans of the author who will probably never get an autobiography. His light piece about the perils of hiring domestic servants in the East is one of the most hilarous things I have ever read, reminding us once again that Clarke has a killer, if bone-dry, sense of humor that few other than his hard-core fans ever ackwnoledge. His classic diss "Introducing Isaac Asimov" is included here in full, as is the good Doctor's schintillating comeback.

By Space Possessed

By Space Possessed
Few writers of science fiction have made a contribution to the world of science fact comparable to that of Arthur C. Clarke. His essay on extra-terrestrial relays, published in "Wireless World" in 1945, foreshadowed the development of communications satellites, and his writings on all aspects of space exploration and life in space have strongly influenced the way in which we view what lies beyond Earth's atmosphere, while his fiction has sought to bring the future vividly to life. This collection of essays brings together some of Clarke's best factual writing.

Profiles of the Future

Profiles of the Future
This book originally appeared in 1962, and was based on essays written during the period 1959 - 1961. Since it was concerned with ultimate possibilities, and not with achievements to be expected in the near future, even the remarkable events of the last decade have dated it very little. But Arthur Clarke has gone over the book making corrections and comments where necessary in order to bring it right up-to-date. The author, amongst many fascinating excursions into what the future may hold, discusses the fourth dimension and the obsolescence of the law of gravity, the exploration of the entire solar system and the colonisation of some of it; seas will mined for energy and minerals, and asteroids will be pulled to Earth to supply needed materials; men, already bigger than they need be, may be bred smaller to be more efficient on less food.

The Hammer of God

The Hammer of God
Independant review:

This was my first Clarke book, and though I'm generally pretty unenthusiastic about death-comet-hurtling-towards-Earth stories, this one was surprisingly good. Clarke is clearly an idea guy; much of the story is about the various technologies that have emerged over the next couple hundred years, with only smaller parts devoted to the trials of the characters. Usually this sort of thing would turn me off, which probably says a lot for the talent of Clarke. I read this book over the course of about 30 hours, including a lengthy flight, where I rarely can read for very long at a stretch. So that's saying something. Certainly worth picking up if you're a fan of SF.
