		Gunn was a sophisticated "hipster", a dapper dresser who loved cool jazz; where other gumshoes were often coarse, Peter Gunn was portrayed as the epitome of "cool".
		Gunn continued to demonstrate his combat skill and worthiness as a fighter, earning himself the role of "the muscle." 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.

		Gunn also makes the point that Michael Moorcock's New Worlds-style of science fiction was not particularly successful in the short term, but did influence several science fiction authors in both the US and the UK whose careers took off following the heyday of Moorcock's experiment.
		Gunn's selection of stories is generally pretty good and gives a nice taste of the literature coming out of England throughout the past century.
		Gunn admits that the book was compiled some time ago and therefore it only publishes stories which had seen print prior to 1986.

		There are 33 pieces in all, written by acknowledged masters such as Walter M. Miller, Stanislaw Lem, James Tiptree Jr., Thomas M. Disch and Gregory Benford.
		In this volume Gunn has dropped the theme of "importance to the genre" and instead favored "quality of writing" because, he says, it's too soon to say what far-reaching impact these stories will have.
		Called "the best historical anthology of SF ever assembled" by Anatomy of Wonder, the books of this series present stories from the earliest days of science fiction through a group of engrossing and skillfully written stories, ranging from Richard Matheson's 1950 "Born of Man and Woman" to George Alec Effinger's 1988 "Schroedinger's Kitten.".

	JAMES GUNN [ SCREENWRITER
		Gunn doesn't reinvent the wheel but he does tighten its spokes a bit with some terrifying sequences and a witty, deadpan screenplay, and he leaves the audience hungry for Slither 2.
		In the swift exposition of Tromeo and Juliet screenwriter James Gunn's sharp script, the whole battle plan is drawn.
		Gunn adapted Romero's original story, and this script is perversely pleasurable and slyly smart, obviously crafted by a writer who loves, respects and understands the pop-culture predecessors he's following.

		Gunn made a request for confirmation to J. Young (Table Mountain Observatory, California, USA), but the 61-cm reflector only showed faint, threshold images near magnitude 15.
		The 12-minute O exposure revealed a "small, slightly diffuse, elongated, weak spot of mean diameter ~5" and magnitude 19," while the 50-minute E exposure revealed a diffuse trail about 0.2' long, which exhibited an "extremely faint, narrow tail" extending about 1' toward PA 250°.

		SF writer and historian Gunn was an English professor at the University of Kansas, and this novel is his response to the student radicals of the 1960s.
		The two major weaknesses are the dated subject matter (the radical student movement died out almost completely by 1972), and the lack of any character development for Tom Gavin, the protagonist.
		Also, Gunn never paints a coherent picture of how the US has come to its current state; he offers a vague outline, but the logic of his future society is not entirely consistent.

	The Science of Science Fiction Writing by James E Gunn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		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.
