Entering a cave is like entering a different world. Some caves bear wonderfully descriptive names such as Jewel Cave, Mystery Cave, or Talking Rocks Cave. It is easy to see why these geologic wonders sparked the imaginations of their discoverers. Caves are openings into the Earth that are environments where some ancient and unusual creatures havelived and continue to thrive.

In the first book of this award-winning series, a huge architectural ring is constructed in outer space. In time it will house the inhabitants of the dying Earth. A whole new world is emerging, a world of huge dimensions, encompassing an area three million times the area of the Earth. Ringworld has a gravitational field and high walls to preserve its atmosphere. Its proximity to the sun maintains the new planet's climate. With those kinds of resources at its disposal, humankind can begin anew -- but not without meeting the disquieting challenges of a brave new world. Breath- taking ingenious from start to finish, RINGWORLD is fast becoming a science fiction classic.

Heinlein, Robert A. - The Menace From Earth - Audiobook + Text
From a master of science fiction comes eight startling stories of time and space. In "The Year of the Jackpot", a statistician charts a curve of unusual happenings throughout the earth, only to find that his facts and figures prove the approach of the end of the world. In "By His Bootstraps," a man steps thirty thousand years into time and is trapped in the fourth dimension with three strange, yet oddly familiar, people.
