		This is perhaps the densest book in the series, as the author has to tell you about the world that he's created.
		The book is set in a whimsical, fanciful, twisted 1985, where the Crimean War is still going on, where some extinct species have been recreated so one has to worry about having your garden trampled and eaten during a mammoth migration, and where if you do things just right, you can live inside a book.
		This is the 1971 mini series directed by Howard Baker.

	Mountain Books
		The literature on mountaineering and exploration in the Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamirs, and Hindu Kush has mostly been from the perspective of the mountaineer, or explorer, virtually all of whom were foreign to the area being described.
		In terms of first person accounts of early mountaineering in the Himalaya and Karakoram, the main descriptions that I have are Conway's Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram-Himalayas, the Workmans' In the Ice World of the Himalaya, and the previously mentioned The Heart of a Continent and Wonders of the Himalaya by Younghusband.
		This is a wonderful book covering the history of the mountain from its first "discovery" by Europeans up to the time of writing, 1992.

	Unidentified flying object - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By mid-1950, a Gallup poll revealed that the term "flying saucer" had become so deeply ingrained in the American vernacular, that 94% of those polled were familiar with it, making it the best-known term commonly appearing in the news, easily beating out others like "universal military training" (75%), "bookie" (67%), or "cold war" (58%).
		Use of "UFO" instead of "flying saucer" was first suggested in 1952 by Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt, the first director of the U. Air Force's Project Blue Book, who felt that "flying saucer" failed to capture the diversity of the sightings.
		A notable attempt on the basis of his theory of archetypes was made by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung in his book Flying Saucers (1959).
