In All About Solids, Liquids & Gases, young students will be introduced to the three common forms of matter. They’ll learn that all things are made up of tiny particles called atoms and that the movement of these particles determines the form that matter takes. In solids, the particles are packed tightly together and move very little. The particles in liquids are more spread out and move faster. In a gas, the particles are spread even farther apart and move even faster.

The Eugenics Wars Vol. 1: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh
Captain James T. Kirk must probe deep into the secrets of the past to discover the true origins of the infamous Eugenics Wars...and of the man who became perhaps the most dangerous foe he has ever had to face. In 1974 an international consortium of scientists embarked on the Chrysalis Project, a top-secret experiment in human genetic engineering. Their goal is no less than the creation of a new, artifically improved breed of men and women: smarter, faster, stronger than ordinary human beings -- a super-race to take command of the entire planet.

Berlin Stories is not quite a novel; it's actually two short ones stuck together, The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin. But they form one coherent snapshot of a lost world, the antic, cosmopolitan Berlin of the 1930's, where jolly expatriates dance faster and faster, as if that would save them from the creeping rise of Nazism.
