However, his increasing involvement with Angel Investigations meant he had less time to spend with his former colleagues, and Gunn was forced to choose between his old group and the new one.
Gunn was born in the Orkney Isles, Scotland, in 1797.

 Science Fiction Cool Stuff
But in reality Gunn was embarked on an even larger quest: preserving a vast horde of knowledge locked up in the brains of these men (no women writers, alas, were selected during the brief flourishing of this project), invaluable knowledge and experiences from the first five decades of genre SF.
In effect, Gunn was creating an oral history and exegesis of the genre that would preserve seminal information and critical thoughts about the field for all who came after.
Gunn did a fine job in assigning or eliciting topics from his respondents, and there's not a lot of overlap in these films.

 Flak Magazine: Review of The Toy Collector, 09-30-00
Gunn revels in long descriptions of fights, suicides and sex in their juiciest details — rarely has the word "jiz" figured so centrally in a non-pornographic work.
In many ways, Gunn has merely updated the classic tale of the misunderstood hero whose main flaw is not being evil but being different, whose sins derive not from a bad heart but from bad environment.
Gunn's adult character is fueled in his nihilism by his conviction that society is essentially valueless, that having suffered his father's drunken rages as a child, as an adult he is allowed to do anything.

Tremaine explained that Gunn started his career as a theoretical astronomer, doing groundbreaking work in gravitational lensing as a cosmological probe, the formation and evolution of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the Universe, and the physical nature of pulsars.
Gunn was a leader in the 1970's and 1980's in observational studies of distant galaxies, galaxy clusters, and quasars.

 UGO Screenwriter's Voice - Interview -- James Gunn
In a lucky twist of fate, screenwriter James Gunn can circle March 2004 on his calendar as a memorable moment in his career with the release of both Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed and Dawn of the Dead, a re-imagining of the 1978 Geroge Romero horror classic.
GUNN: Well, again, I'm one of the very few that was a professional before I was trying to break in, so it's hard to answer that question.

 Flak Magazine: Blues from a Gunn, 09-30-00
James Gunn has been a busy man. The Los Angeles-based writer released his novel "The Toy Collector" in May. His second film, a low-budget superhero spoof called The Specials, was released last weekend in New York and Los Angeles.
Gunn, 34, began his screenwriting career with B-movie studio Troma Films, where he wrote Tromeo and Juliet, one of the studio's best-known cult titles.
He and his roommate Bill Sinewski (named after Gunn's roommate at the time he was writing the book) use their illicit earnings to finance their own addictions to vintage toys — the same ones they played with as kids.

 The Science of Science Fiction Writing by James E Gunn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Himself a prolific genre author (The Immortals, not reviewed, etc.), as well as an academic (English/Univ. of Kansas) and literary critic (The Road to Science Fiction, not reviewed), Gunn remains at the forefront of the movement to legitimize scholarly study of science fiction.
The first third of his text, drawing on Gunn's years of experience teaching writing workshops, conveys his influential precepts in 11 short, useful chapters.
Nevertheless, since Gunn's excellent prose never fails to engage, inform, and instruct, readers outside the target audience who happen to encounter the book will be pleasantly surprised.

Marked by a rare combination of penetrating thought and virtuosic style, the writings of William James represent one of America's most original contributions to the history of ideas.
Throughout these essays the fecund power of imagination is restored to the operations of rationality by James, whom George Santayana hailed as "an impulsive poet: a master in the art of recording or divining the lyric quality of experience."
This collection presents Pragmatism in its entirety, James's seminal set of lectures in which he argues in his witty and limpid style for the "reasonableness of ordinary experience."--This text refers to the Digital edition.
