Book Description
Science fiction is a literary genre based on scientific speculation. Works of science fiction use the ideas and the vocabulary of all sciences to create valid narratives that explore the future effects of science on events and human beings. Science Fact and Science Fiction examines in one volume how science has propelled science-fiction and, to a lesser extent, how science fiction has influenced the sciences. Although coverage will discuss the science behind the fiction from the Classical Age to the present, focus is naturally on the 19th century to the present, when the Industrial Revolution and spectacular progress in science and technology triggered an influx of science-fiction works speculating on the future. As scientific developments alter expectations for the future, the literature absorbs, uses, and adapts such contextual visions. The goal of the Encyclopedia is not to present a catalog of sciences and their application in literary fiction, but rather to study the ongoing flow andcounterflow of influences, including how fictional representations of science affect how we view its practice and disciplines. Although the main focus is on literature, other forms of science fiction, including film and video games, are explored and, because science is an international matter, works from non-English speaking countries are discussed as needed.

Useful if you are Canadian ... but ..........2000-06-16
I read this book several years ago and found it a useful starting point to plan my early retirement outside of Canada. While the overall "system"/"approach" described in the book is useful, it is my understanding from others that have read the book that what is described is not entirely lawful in Canada and may be considered tax evasion (which is illegal) in Canada. Much of the book describes how to "hide" your money so the Cdn and other governments can't track your capital gains - ie: off shore accounts - use of brokers in Denver (I think) Colorado by the trusts set up in the off shore accounts etc. However, I read an earlier than 1998 version of the same book so maybe it was cleaned up.
The other major complaint I had with the book was the philisophical rant that ran through the book vis-a-vis Canadian politicians. The author spent so much time grinding his axe that it reduced the credibility of the book. It would have been much preferable for him to describe the legal means by which investments/income/RRSP's (the Cdn equivalent of IRA's) could be moved out of Canada in retirement.
However, notwithstanding all of the above, it was a very useful first look at all the constituant parts of leaving Canada and living well off investments for one's early retirement years. I hope this latest version of the book resolves some of the problems discussed with the earlier text.
Useless if you're not Canadian!.......1999-05-17
This book discusses ways for a Canadian taxpayer to retire and avoid Canadian taxes. It's of little technical value to citizens of the United States!
Useless if you're not Canadian!.......1999-05-17
This book discusses ways for a Canadian taxpayer to retire and avoid Canadian taxes. It's of little technical value to citizens of the United States!
This book will pay for itself many times over!!!!!.......1998-12-04
The contents of this book will enlighten you to the legal methods of planning your finances to avoid paying taxes to inefficient governments.
If you follow the simple guidelines you could be retired early and sailing around the world while the rest of the uninformed people toil to pay for the expensive habits of our elected government officials.
Brilliant!.......1998-10-20
The book wakes you up from the rut that most people find themselves in while living in a high tax country. It is suggested that you pack your bags, move your assets offshore, and leave! If this choice sounds drastic at least you will be more aware of the burden of continually increasing taxes. Alex Doulis writes his story well in an entertaining way.
