It was never an apprentice--A new magazine will usually go through a long apprenticeship, a period of trial and error as it gradually works its way up toward the top ranks in its field. But not Galaxy! From its very first issue in 1950, Galaxy Science Fiction was in the top rank, fully the equal of John W. Campbell's Astounding Science Fiction, hitherto the undisputed leader in the science fiction field. Under the editorship of Horace Gold Galaxy was a superior production in fiction, in artwork, and even in the quality of its cover stock. Gold ran stories by the best of the established authors, and like Campbell before him, encouraged and developed new authors. But Galaxy was not merely a superior imitation of Astounding. Gold had his own very distinctive voice. Galaxy soon became famous for stories of social satire and character insight. There were fewer of superscientific heroes and more of normal human beings, and even antiheroes. If Campbell asked how new technology would change the society, Gold asked how those social changes would affect ordinary people. David Rosheim presents a detailed history of Galaxy from its founding in 1950 to its last issue in 1980. He covers both the triumphs (which were many) and the failures (which were few) right up to the financial and management problems which finally killed the magazine. Galaxy had both its light years and its dark years, and if the dark finally took it away from us, we still have the memory of the light. This is a work of nostalgic affection (not pedantic scholarship) in the tradition of Alva Rogers' A Requiem for Astounding (now out of print, alas). With color frontispiece of the first Galaxy cover and many other covers in blackand white.

This third volume in Mike Ashley's four-volume study of the science-fiction magazines focuses on the turbulent years of the 1970s, when the United States emerged from the Vietnam War into an economic crisis. It saw the end of the Apollo moon programme and the start of the ecology movement. This proved to be one of the most complicated periods for the science-fiction magazines. Not only were they struggling to survive within the economic climate, they also had to cope with the death of the father of modern science fiction, John W. Campbell, Jr., while facing new and potentially threatening opposition. The market for science fiction diversified as never before, with the growth in new anthologies, the emergence of semi-professional magazines, the explosion of science fiction in college, the start of role-playing gaming magazines, underground and adult comics and, with the success of Star Wars, media magazines. This volume explores how the traditional science-fiction magazines coped with this, from the

Mark Twain, American Humorist examines the ways that Mark Twain’s reputation developed at home and abroad in the period between 1865 and 1882, years in which he went from a regional humorist to national and international fame. In the late 1860s, Mark Twain became the exemplar of a school of humor that was thought to be uniquely American. As he moved into more respectable venues in the 1870s, especially through the promotion of William Dean Howells in the Atlantic Monthly, Mark Twain muddied the hierarchical distinctions between class-appropriate leisure and burgeoning forms of mass entertainment, between uplifting humor and debased laughter, and between the literature of high culture and the passing whim of the merely popular.
