Curiously, however, Verne is unlikely to have thought it possible that a manned projectile could actually be fired out of a giant cannon, rising higher than the Moon, swinging around it, and then landing safely back on Earth. Directly inspired by Verne's story, enthusiasts worked successfully at overcoming the practical difficulties, and within a century, human beings did indeed fly to the Moon. In From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon, Jules Verne turned the ancient fantasy of space flight into a believable technological possibility - an engineering dream for the industrial age. The popularity of his novels led directly to modern science fiction. Jules Verne (1828-1905) was internationally famous as the author of novels based on `extraordinary voyages.' His visionary use of new travel technologies inspired his readers to look to the industrial future rather than the remote past for their dreams of adventure. ![]() ![]() In all the long history of West Point no cadets had gone forth into a more tragic world than the ones who left in the spring of 1861.

In 1915, while working as headmaster, or dominie, at a small school in Scotland he wrote the first book in his Dominie series, A Dominie's Log. At the age of twenty-five, Neill enrolled in Edinburgh University, where he studied English and later became a journalist. Working as a pupil teacher in his father's school, Neill's experiences as a young educator were colored by traditional educational expectations: strict discipline, teacher-centered learning practices, and excessive control. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Marnie by Marion Marsh Brown![]() Systems Analyst / Team Leader in TN Farmers Mutual Insurance Company. ![]()
