	Discworld (world) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Discworld is a fantasy land in the Tolkien and Brothers Grimm mould, complete with witches, wizards, dragons, trolls, and dwarfs; however, over time it has largely evolved into its own distinct culture, as its denizens find more sophisticated ways to outgrow their narrative conventions.
		The majority of the Discworld novels are set in the 20th century AM, the Century of the Fruitbat, with the later ones entering the 21st, the Century of the Anchovy.
		Other discworlds known to exist in the Discworld universe include Bathys, a water world which is home to sea trolls, a world with a tree in the center whose roots form mountain ranges, and an unnamed world ringed by a giant serpent, the last two are clear references to different aspects of Norse mythology.

	Discworld
		Directions within the Discworld are not given as North, South, East and West, but rather as directions relating to the disc itself, ex: Hubward (towards the centre), Rimward (away from the centre) and to a lesser extent, turnwise and widdershins (relation to the direction of the disc's spin).
		There are eight colors in the spectrum (the eighth being octarine, the "color of magic"), and eight days in a week (the eighth being Octeday).
		There are also, due to the peculiar astronomical arrangements, eight seasons (and 800 days) in a year, although most Discworlders consider four seasons make a year, whatever astronomers say.

		Fans may also want The Discworld Mapp (1995) - a booklet, really, with some general silliness included - but the map folds out to poster size which is nice.
		Includes artworks featuring such classic Discworld characters as Eric the Demonologist, Death, and Luggage, The Josh Kirby Discworld Portfolio is a must for any fan of Terry Pratchett's fiction and Josh Kirby's artwork.
		This is not a Discworld novel, but a re-release of a joint effort by Pratchett and Gaiman originally published in 1990.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Terry Pratchett's Discworld Collector's Edition 2005 Calendar
		There is a large white border on both sides of the calendar and the space at the top of each page gives the user the feel that the date squares could have easily been made larger, as well, perhaps, as the print used to designate holidays.
		Discworld holidays appear in a purple lettering which is just different enough from the more traditional fl to set them apart.
		Other paintings are of more general Discworld scenes: Stuart Williams images of Leonard of Quirm and the Patrician, Les Edwards's take on Commander Vimes, of David Wyatt's view of the God of Evolution working on the MK1 Elephant.

		"The Discworld Calendar" is a perenniel favourite, and this year's will be just as sumptuously illustrated, with the dates just as exhaustively realised as ever.

	Discworld Convention 2006 - UK
		As some people may be aware Paul has returned to his roots and become involved in organising the Discworld Jamboree for 2007 (bookmark www.discworldevents.com for details soon) and this is taking up a considerable amount of his time.
		To ensure the Discworld event of 2007 gets the attention it deserves we have decided to stop the production, development and sale of Discworld beers with final bottled stocks being available at the Discworld Jamboree in 2007.
		Our Discworld beers were selected for the Great British Beer Festival by CAMRA, and we followed Terry across the Atlantic for The World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) in Boston where we organised the Guest of Honour exhibit and were the only UK based Discworld trader to brave the passage to the New World.

		The Discworld series is, after all, partly a reflection of what we see in the (un)real world, not least the silly biases of a few blinkered souls.
		During the course of the weekend most of the Discworld artists and celebrities were cornered and were asked to produce a small doodle on a piece of card.

	TheScuience of Discworld by Pratchett, Stewart and Cohen
		This is an interesting book but something of an oddity: It's a Discworld story and it's a good job of popular science writing.
		Pratchett has written a Discworld story set at Unseen University where the wizards manage to build a model universe in the High Energy Magic building which is about a foot across on the outside but seems very large indeed on the inside.
		The Science of Discworld is a fine popularization of science and of the scientific method, presented in a most unusual and entertaining manner.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Discworld Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000
		That would make for a really short review and not really explain why this calendar is more appealing than any of a number of other calendars and day planners which are available on the market.
		Of course, it is done with the same sense of the absurd that Pratchett uses in the novels and provides enough background material that it is possible Pratchett will eventually use the Diary as a basis for a new novel focusing on the activities of a Guild member.
		At the same time, it provide more of Pratchett's form of humour in a short form and gives some sort of indication of the types of notes he may be keeping for future work.

		The Discworld calendar was first defined in a footnote in The Colour of Magic, and has been expanded upon in later novels.
		The calendar is based on a Great Year, or Astronomical Year, defined as the time it takes for the Discworld to revolve once on the backs of the elephants.
		In the Astronomical Year the second midwinter (the year's midway point) is called Crueltide, but to people using the Agricultural Year this is the same festival.

		The next Discworld event on the Calendar is Bernard Pearsons (The Cunning Artificer) Hogswatch gathering in Wincanton, Somerset, on the 6th & 7th of December.

		Bonsai Discworld is assured there will be a short signing tour, but Terry has yet to confirm the exact dates and locations.

	Terry Pratchett -- All Books
		In this intensely funny novel, which is part of the science fiction series Discworld, the Night Watch of the capital city Ankh-Morpork experiences political correctness as it must hire a troll, a dwarf, a werewolf and an adopted dwarf who may be the rightful heir to the kingdom.
		Terry Pratchett's 22nd Discworld novel, The Last Continent, is a lighthearted tour of the fantasy land of Fourecks, a very Australian sort of place, with brief courses in theoretical physics and evolution thrown in for good measure.
		Discworld's own version of the three witches--Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg--grab their broomstricks and journey to Genua to save Princess Emberella from a fairy tale ending-happy fairy godmother.

		Therefore, unlike previous calendars, a lot of this work is seen here for the first time.
		A wonderful calendar with some gorgeous imagery, and certainly my favourite of the Discworld calendars to date.

		I was really looking forward to the TV version of 'Hogwatch' as its one of my favourite Discworld books, but this calendar has put a bit of a dampener on it.
