[Read by Graham Halstead]Lost in Space -- Hugh had been taught that, according to the ancient sacred writings, the Ship was on a voyage to faraway Centaurus. But he also understood this was just allegory for a voyage to spiritual perfection. Indeed, how could the Ship move, since its miles and miles of metal corridors were all there was of creation? Science knew that the Ship was all the universe, and as long as the sacred Converter was fed, the lights would continue to glow, the air would flow, and the Creator's Plan would be fulfilled.Of course, there were the muties, grotesquely deformed parodies of humans, who lurked in the upper reaches of the Ship, where gravity was weaker. Were they evil incarnate, or merely a divine check on the population, keeping humanity from expanding past the capacity of the Ship to support?Then Hugh was captured by the muties and met their leader (or leaders) -- Joe-Jim, with two heads on one body -- and learned the true nature of the Ship and its mission between the stars. But could he make his people believe him before it was too late? Could he make them believe that he must be allowed to fly the Ship?

Author Lois Melbourne, of the My Future Story series, inspires readers to identify and explore their passions, and shape their own future stories. As an entrepreneur and CEO of a talent management software company, Lois Melbourne loved her career, and especially loved spending time connecting with people, mentoring, and selling software. Now on to a new passion, Melbourne has created My Future Story, a book series for students exploring their exciting and almost limitless career opportunities. Growing up in rural Missouri, Melbourne experienced firsthand the lack of career education and direction. Working with people around the world and in every industry, she saw the powerful impact of people choosing careers they really enjoyed. This is the inspiration for My Future Story.

Members of the Families were ordinary human beings, no different from neighboring Smiths or Browns, except for one disturbing trait: they were extraordinarily long-lived. In the ultra-civilized year of 2125 A.D. this distinction was intolerable. Hounded for a secret they did not knowingly possess, the Families were forced to choose - torture and extinction by their jealous, short-lived fellowmen ... or flight from Earth on an untested starship. They chose the latter. But to their horror they discovered that the alien stars nourished a threat even more terrifying that the one which had taken them from Earth.

1977 Usborne hardcover, no ISBN, British import. Anne Millard (A Street Through Time). Provides a stimulating introduction for readers with little previous knowledge of history. In our increasingly interdependent world, and understanding of other people and their history is becoming vitally important, but many people find it difficult to acquire an overall view of world history because they do not have attractive starting points. This book fills the gap. In short visual chapters, it provides the bare bones of the major developments in the history of the world. The book looks at individual civilisations and vividly describes how people lived, their discoveries and inventions, their conflicts with rival civilisations and their contributions to our own cultural heritage"- Google Books
