New Releases by Carol Carr

Jewish Science Fiction and Fantasy? Yes! Wandering Stars is the landmark collection of Jewish science fiction and fantasy. The first of its kind, it is an established and enduring classic. This is the first time in a science fiction collection that the Jewish People—and the richness of their themes and particular points of view—appear without a mask. Wandering Stars is a showpiece of Jewish wit, culture, and lore, of the blend of humor and sadness, cynicism, and faith. In these pages you’ll find superlative tales of fantasy and science fiction by masters.

Carol Carr had several roles in the literary SF scene a while back, and only some of them were behind-the-camera. She knew everybody and everybody knew her. What may not be known is that she wrote some evocative stories and poems that have never been collected in one place-until now. And she''s even added a bunch of stuff-yes, that''s her word for it, stuff -which you will find irresistible. Carol Carr was born in Brooklyn, New York, discovered Greenwich Village at age 15 and was immediately told by her friends that she would "never be one of us" again. Thus pulled untimely from her roots, she turned leftwardly political at Brooklyn College before finding herself trapped by circumstances in the dubious world of science fiction. All the while she toiled nine to five at a series of jobs that are best discussed in her next book. She moved to California in 1972, when home ownership was affordable, and is now retired in the East Bay hills with her husband and a series of repair people who come around every week to remove her dying trees, and replace her rotten siding and rusty plumbing. She has always been a writer who dabbled in this and that and, recently, emails. She stubbornly refuses to dabble in Facebook or Twitter.

Recommendations are made for a data system suitable for the Plastics Technical Evaluation Center on the basis of a study of various aspects of data and existing data systems. PLASTEC needs data to carry out its function as an information center and to answer requests. The data sources available include unpublished information, the report, and open literature in plastics. Data exists in tabular and graphic form and may be critical or unevaluated; provisions must be made for handling all aspects of data. Methods for handling data range from manual to machine and information can be filed by material, property or by a random access method. The existing data systems provide examples of the various methods available for handling data. Although some existing systems handle plastics data the coverage is not complete and there still remains a need for a unified data center in plastics. A manual system consisting of data sheets filed by material is recommended for the present. This system can easily be converted for machine storage and retrieval if necessary. (Author).
