	The White Earth \| Book Review \| Entertainment Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Daniel Fierman is a staff writer for EW It is with an enviable and effortless touch that Andrew McGahan unveils the tale of the fictional McIvor family — a band of farmers, murderers, gimlet-eyed lusters, and not-so-secret haters of aborigines — who ripped through rural Australia in the 20th century.
		And while The White Earth bears all the hallmarks of a neo-Dickensian novel (there's everything from an abandoned child protagonist to a spooky, run-down mansion with a dark family secret), a lot more is going on in McGahan's latest than simple homage.
		Seen through the eyes of preteen William, whose soul hangs in the balance throughout the book, the saga of the McIvors is nothing less than a grim and supremely entertaining take on colonialism in Australia and the tortured, stained hearts of all its New World cousins.

	Earth (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Earth is a 1990 science fiction novel written by David Brin.
		The plot of the book involves an artificially created fl hole which has been lost in the Earth's interior and the attempts to recover it before it destroys the planet.
		Brin set this novel 50 years in the future from the time he was writing, using the book as an opportunity to predict what technologies might — at that future date — be taken for granted day to day.

	Red Earth and Pouring Rain -- Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The novel--for all its careful substructure of recurring themes and chiming incidents--honours confusion, and it is itself a triumphant demonstration of the creativity of a morass...
		His novel takes on nothing less than the whole of the Indian subcontinent in a huge, twisty narrative bursting with colour, light and energy.
		Within the first few pages of this novel, it becomes clear that the voice is one of absolute skill and authority, the kind of voice that one seldom finds in works by wellknown, established writers, let alone in a first novel.

	Amazon.ca: The Woman Who Lives in the Earth : A Novel: Books: Swain Wolfe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Originally self-published, The Woman Who Lives in the Earth is the type of work that likely would not have been published otherwise, as it is odd and lacks in popular or market appeal.
		The Woman Who Lives in the Earth is a fable of those who reach out in fear and those who look within and then reach out in curiosity and hope.
		Although Sarah is a child, this is not a children's story; the consequences for those who come to deny her as evil and to accept her for the child she is are quick, harsh, and irrevocable.

	Earth: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Earth is a film which explores the social conflicts in pre-partition Lahore, India in 1947.
		Lenny, the narrator, recalls her time as an eight-year-old Parsee girl (Maia Sethna) whose experiences evolved from living in a comfortable and harmonious household, to witnessing the bloodshed that resulted from the division of British India into independent India and Pakistan.
		A film which gracefully establishes the beauty of peace and crudely depicts the tragic loss of it, Earth concludes that the most painful kind of betrayal is that which occurs within the family.

	Mission Earth (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Vaughn Young wrote a lengthy introduction to the first volume stating that the novel was meant as a satire and that Hubbard's intent was to "poke barbs" at certain segments of present-day society.
		Critics of Scientology note that the "satirical" view of the planet Earth is close to the actual world view promoted by Hubbard's Church of Scientology, which believes that the entire planet is in the grip of a grand conspiracy headed by the twin demons of psychiatry and psychology([1], [2]) (See Scientology and psychiatry).
		Heller's investigations of Earth soon reveal to him that the entire planet is in the grip of a vast organized corporate conspiracy headed by the Rockecenter corporation and its head, Delbert John Rockecenter (the similarity to "John D. Rockefeller" is one of many blatant puns and references included in the series by Hubbard).

		Here the Hollow Earth is given a true 19th-century American twist, with an insistence on Manifest Destiny requiring a habitable interior that must be colonized by the United States, along with an up-to-date use of electromagnetism to explain many phenomena, including how the Hollow Earth is held together in a complex electromagnetic matrix.

	Peace on Earth (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peace on Earth (Pokój na Ziemi in Polish) is a 1987 science fiction novel by Stanisław Lem.

	BATTLEFIELD EARTH
		Critics proclaiming Battlefield Earth to be the worst movie ever have undoubtedly not watched straight-to-video crud such as Beowulf and Future Fear lately.
		the novel also expects one to have the unquestioning and uncritical mental capabilities of a five-year-old.
		That Battlefield Earth would be such an unoriginal movie is no surprise when one considers the source material: it is based on the 1 000 plus page space opera best-seller written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1980s.

	Amazon.com: Virgin Earth: A Novel: Books: Philippa Gregory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The virgin earth of the title is literally the land and the mindset of the English people-and after this book it is virgin no more.
		Those were difficult times in which Gregory places this tale, and the great proof of her success as a storyteller is how engaged the reader becomes in her fictional characters, all the while knowing the ultimate outcome the conflict on which it hinges; to wit, Cromwell's Roundhead Revolution.
		The part of the novel that deals with the earliest settlement of Virginia is fascinating.

	Catherine Wells: The Earth Is All That Lasts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Given the strong theme of conservation, the title of Catherine Wells's first novel, The Earth Is All That Lasts may, perhaps, be taken with some irony.
		The first book of a trilogy as well as the start of her career, The Earth Is All That Lasts is a sadly ignored novel which is currently out-of-print but deserves to be more widely read.
		The People are not alone in the wilderness, however, for there is a small enclave of scientists living nearby and Coconino forms a relationship with one of their number, a woman named Phoenix.

	No mystery: Writer-director knew he was the one to bring Chabon novel to the screen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Thurber was smitten with Michael Chabon's novel "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" when he read it in the summer of 1995.
		"There's a sense of beauty to the novel, a sense of fun, an overwhelming sense of nostalgia at play, of memory, and it's a great summertime novel in the same way that 'The Great Gatsby' was a great summertime novel.
		It was Thurber's success writing and directing "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" that paved the way for "Mysteries." His agent advised him to "capture the essence of the moment," which meant pitching another project along the same lines, a romantic comedy about darts or curling or competitive eating.
