Kim Stanley Robinson has been an ongoing force in the Science Fiction genre for over twenty years, with his novels (Year’s of Rice and Salt, Forty Signs of Rain) crossing over to the mainstream, and routinely appearing on the New York Times best sellers list. During the 80s and early nineties, his short fiction continued to push the boundaries of science fiction, defining the science-focused side of the science fiction genre.
Award-winning editor Jonathan Strahan worked with Kim Stanley Robinson to select the stories that make up this landmark volume. In addition to these reprints, The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson features a brand-new short story, "The Timpanist of the Berlin Philharmonic, 1942."

Editorial : From Booklist
This valuable introduction to the versatile author’s short fiction starts with “Venice Drowned” and goers on through such other classics as “Black Air,” “The Lucky Strike,” “Escape from Kahmandu,” and “Prometheus Unbound, At Last.” Perhaps less well-known will be “Remaking History,” “Zurich,” “Muir on Shasta,” and “The Tympanist of the Berlin Philharmonic, 1942.” Robinson has provided short notes on all the stories, none of them long discussions on himself. No such are needed, as Robinson’s gifts (supported by extensive travel and knowledge of history) speak for themselves. The only caveat is that larger collections may well have most of these pieces already, but even they may find it prudent to offer this bonus to beginning readers of Robinson. --Roland Green

Great condition. Kathleen Meyer's BAREFOOT HEARTED; A Wild Life Among Wildlife is undoubtedly one of my favorite books ever. Both books belong on the serious deer enthusiast's book shelf.
Hall's book is a compilation of articles by some of the nation's leading deer experts. Loved this book. Since the really poor don't have anything of value (the thinking goes), how can we trust them with anything? Why loan them money? How on earth would they pay? We'd be foolish to believe they would. It is not enough to find something.
