In July 1977, "Ender's Game" appeared as a novelette in Analog magagzine. The science fiction community immediately embraced it, nominating it for a Hugo Award, and when Orson Scott Card turned it into a novel in 1985, it won both the Hugo and Nebula Award. Now, twenty-five years later, First Meetings celebrates "Ender's Game" by re-releasing that original story with three others, two of them never before available on audio and an original dramatization never published anywhere.

Things get wild and woolly when Jessica Popper's wedding to longtime fiancé Nick Burby is interrupted by the sound of bloody murder. The sacrificial lamb is the black sheep of the Burby flock, a long-lost relative Nick has never even met.

In Subversive Spinoza, Antonio Negri spells out the philosophical credo that inspired his radical renewal of Marxism and his compelling analysis of the modern state and the global economy by means of an inspiring reading of the challenging metaphysics of the seventeenth-century Dutch-Jewish philosopher Spinoza. For Negri, Spinoza's philosophy has never been more relevant than it is today to debates over individuality and community, democracy and resistance, modernity and postmodernity.

You Never Give Me Your Money - The Battle For the Soul of the Beatles
Not so fab behind the scenes, this is the story of the famous four "from the heights of 1967, through the relentless decay of their final months, to the endless aftermath beyond". Doggett's obsession with the Beatles goes back to his childhood and their glory days. He presents a mass of detail about their music, individual characters, wives, lovers, friends, spiritual explorations, drug use and business dealings, in an engaging narrative. He treads carefully around thorny issues of love and money, yet paints a convincing picture of the relationship between Lennon and Yoko Ono and its impact on the financial and legal disputes which trailed success.
