When a young boy named Eragon finds a blue gem stone in the middle of the forest, he has no idea what magic is in store for him. It hatches a sapphire-blue dragon, a member of a race thought to be extinct. Eragon bonds with the dragon and soon discovers that he is the first in a new line of Dragon Riders, fated to play a part in a war that is poised to sweep his land. With over two million copies in print, "Eragon" (the first book in the "Inheritance" trilogy, published in the UK by Corgi Childrens) is one of the bestselling books for young readers since Harry Potter first landed. Now author Lois H. Gresh brings us "The Ultimate Eragon Guide": a fun, interactive book that looks deep inside the complex world of Alagaesia to reveal facts behind the magical people, places, and creatures that fill the "Inheritance" series. Also included is an in-depth look the many folk references, myths, and legends that form the basis of the books, as well as quizzes, a fascinating trip through the lore of dragons, a biography of the young author, plus tons of fun side bars and more! "The Ultimate Eragon Guide" will be an entertaining resource for fans of the series and curious readers alike.

The depiction of computers on the various "Star Trek" series has ranged from lame to breathtakingly imaginative. This book covers the gamut, and makes lucid and entertaining comparison of these fictional computers with those that now exist or are likely to inhabit our future. Throughout its history, "Star Trek" has been an accurate reflection of contemporary ideas about computers and their role in our lives. Affectionately but without illusions, The Computers of Star Trek shows how those ideas compare with what we now know we can and will do with computers.
