A guide to the history that informs the world of Star Trek?just in time for the next JJ Abrams Star Trek movie For a series set in our future, Star Trek revisits the past constantly. Kirk and Spock battle Nazis, Roman gladiators, and witness the Great Depression. When they're not doubling back on their own earlier timelines, the crew uses the holodeck to spend time in the American Old West or Victorian England. Alien races have their own complex and fascinating histories, too. The Star Trek universe is a sci-fi imagining of a future world that is rooted in our own human history. Gene Roddenberry created a television show with a new world and new rules in order to comment on social and political issues of the 1960s, from the Vietnam War and race relations to the war on terror and women's rights. Later Star Trek series and films also grapple with the issues of their own decades: HIV, ecological threats, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and terrorism. How did Uhura spur real-life gender and racial change in the 1960s? Is Kirk inextricably linked with the mythical Old West? What history do the Klingons share with the Soviet Union? Can Nazi Germany shed light on the history and culture of the Cardassians? Star Trek and History explains how the holodeck is as much a source for entertainment as it is a historical teaching tool, how much of the technology we enjoy today had its conceptual roots in Star Trek, and how by looking at Norse mythology we can find our very own Q. Features an exclusive interview with Nichelle Nichols, the actress behind the original Lt. Uhura, conducted at the National Air and Space Museum Explains the historical inspiration behind many of the show's alien races and storylines Covers topics ranging from how stellar cartography dates back to Ancient Rome, Greece, and Babylonia to how our "Great Books" of western literature continue to be an important influence to Star Trek's characters of the future Includes a timeline comparing the stardates of Star Trek's timeline to our own real world history Filled with fascinating historical comparisons, Star Trek and History is an essential companion for every Star Trek fan.

Meanwhile, two bitter enemies seek to salvage a future for the last Jaguars in existence: Trent, who betrayed his wayward Clan to help them regain their honor, and Paul Moon, a disgraced warrior torn between his pledged loyalty to the Star League and a duty to the Smoke Jaguar civilization he was born to protect.

And to the victor will go the spoils: the priceless artifacts of a destroyed Clan and the sacred genetics of the final generation of Smoke Jaguar warriors. Trent and Paul Moon must fight tooth and nail against would-be conquerors to save the soul of the surviving Jaguar people before they are consigned to the annals of history. But will their divergent plans tear the survivors apart, or lead them toward freedom?

It’s a book about the greatest battle on earth, affecting every living being for eternity. A battle so intense if we could see it, we would stand frozen in awe and wonder! Yet we remain oblivious to the forces. We float comfortably in our own definition of life, what’s good and what’s bad. Things happen to us, and our hope rises and falls based on our daily circumstances. For some, all hope is gone, and life is marginalized to despair and total depression and sadness. For others, life seems to be ok, while I remain nervous about the potential bad “stuff.” I’ve adjusted my expectations and things are fine. I really don’t have any religious interests; I’m making it work. The enemy is leaving me alone, because I’m not part of the fighting force, I’m on the sidelines. For others, my childhood had a religious upbringing, and I value the principles, or I gained an appreciation of them along my life’s path. I believe I have faith in God, and my salvation is assured, yet I continue to live my life for the most part how I want. God may not know this person, and he/she could be lost, an eternal fate terrorizing beyond imagination at the end of this life. For others, life has dealt blows, and through it, an understanding of a “higher power” and the living incarnation of Jesus Christ’s redemption has invaded the “soul” and imparted power to overcome and be at peace with everything, because God is God. He is good, and he knows me, loves me, and is taking care of me and leading me to a good place – regardless of what happens this side of eternity. My choices have changed, I want to be holy. It is called Daily Redemption, a peace that passes all understanding. As atonement leads me to be one with the Lord Jesus Christ forever – His life living in me - perfect! Amen!!!
