"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's..." So begins H. G. Wells' classic novel in which Martian lifeforms take over planet Earth. As the Martians emerge, they construct giant killing machines - armed with heatrays - that are impervious to attack. Advancing upon London they destroy everything in their path. Everything, except the few humans they collect in metal traps. Victorian England is a place in which the steam engine is state-of-the-art technology and powered flight is just a dream. Mankind is helpless against the killing machines from Mars, and soon the survivors are left living in a new stone age. Includes the original Warwick Goble illustrations.

H.G. Wells's spellbinding account of an invasion from outer space is the first and still the best of all such stories. Ten massive, super-intelligent aliens from Mars touch down in Victorian England and threaten to reduce the civilized world to cinder in short order, as humanity's vaunted knowledge proves to be of little use in such an emergency.

H.G. Wells was described by one of his European critics as a 'seismograph of his age'. He is one of the founding fathers of modern science fiction, and as a novelist, essayist, educationalist and political propagandist his influence has been felt in every European country. This collection of essays by scholarly experts shows the varied and dramatic nature of Wells's reception, including translations, critical appraisals, novels and films on Wellsian themes, and responses to his own well-publicized visits to Russia and elsewhere. The authors chart the intense ideological debate that his writings occasioned, particularly in the inter-war years, and the censorship of his books in Nazi Germany and Francoist Spain. This book offers pioneering insights into Wells's contribution to 20th century European literature and to modern political ideas, including the idea of European union. Reception of H.G.

I present to my readers another book that talks about the wonders of God in nature. Observing living beings and the laws of physics as well as the chemical elements I can say with certainty that an Almighty being built this universe. The theory of evolution hypothesis must be discarded and derided because there is not the slightest mathematical probability that such perfection exists because of accidental events.Scientists should be ashamed before defending the theory of evolution. In fact, under Satan's rule, deans and scientific bodies do not even allow creationists to be called to university chairs. The secularization of the West has made us ridiculous. As long as this atheistic philosophy persists, we will only delay science and we will only go deeper into the fantasy of cosmic and biological evolution, a veritable house of playing cards. Nothing scientific, just assumptions and philosophical daydreams.In favor of creationism is all the evidence in the universe that indicates a mind that planned all this. The trend is that the Intelligent Design hypothesis will continue to grow. The theory that life on Earth came from alien astronauts does not solve the great riddle of the universe, because the question will always remain: And who created the aliens? So God must be the cause of everything. Someone bigger than infinity and older than eternity is the only plausible explanation for the universe.There is only one answer to explain the universe: God. Skeptics accuse us of being simplistic. That it is very easy to explain the universe by saying that God made it. But that's it. God has left so much evidence that He exists, that He created everything and that He sustains the universe and life by the force of His power, that no one will be able to justify ourselves before Him when we are called to the Judgment. The arrogance of intellectuals does not allow them to agree that simple and illiterate people have reached the conclusion about the first cause of the universe, while they with so much study and measurements wander in vain theories. This book is a simple work in which I make my humble considerations about my beloved Creator whom He gave me the pleasure of seeing him in 1985 for over an hour. But this experience is private, I don't want you to believe me, but I think that all creatures need to believe in the one who made everything. Let's not shame our own intelligences, here's the evidence I expose.

El quehacer del periodista se ha modificado sustancialmente. Los materiales periodísticos impresos, televisivos o radiofónicos se producen hoy de manera completamente distinta a la de hace años. Las tecnologías de la comunicación y de la información posibilitaron que se redujera el tiempo y el espacio, lo que ha reducido el tiempo de reflexión y de investigación. El periodismo en línea, en tiempo real, los blogs y las herramientas de las redes sociales digitales constituyen innovaciones en las rutinas profesionales. Pero ¿cómo observa el profesional de la información esos cambios? ¿Qué piensa el periodista sobre su propio trabajo y sobre el periodismo en general? ¿Cómo la actividad laboral le organiza su vida? ¿Qué tipo de consumidor mediático es el periodista?
