100 Masters of Mystery and Detective Fiction is a response to the growing attention paid to genre fiction in schools and universities. Since Edgar Allan Poe invented the modern mystery story in the mid-19th century, the number of authors writing in this field has steadily grown, as have the appetites of growing numbers of readers. This collection surveys 100 of the writers who have made the most lasting contributions to the genre, covering such major figures as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Ellery Queen, and Rex Stout.Articles range in length from 2,500 to 6,000 words and are organized in a format designed to provide quick access to information. Handy ready-reference listings are designed to accommodate the unique characteristics of the mystery/detective fiction genre, including author's pseudonyms, types of plots, principal series and principal series characters, and even a glossary of terms peculiar to the genre. Ready-reference data at the top of each article include the author's name, birth and death information. A |Contribution| section pinpoints each author's impact on the genre. The |Biography| section offers a concise overview of the author's life, and the |Analysis| section, the core of each article, examines the author's most representative works. A bibliography at the end of each article lists the author's works chronologically both within and outside of the genre.

The Sirius Mystery By:Robert Temple Published on 2011-01-11 by Random House The most academically credible case for alien visitation. Is the existance of civilisation on earth the result of contact from inhabitants of a planet in the system of the star Sirius prior to 3000BC? There are tribal cultures in present-day Africa whose most sacred and secret and traditions are based on this theory. Central to their cosmology is a body of knowledge concerning the system of the star Sirius that is astounding it in its accuracy of detail, including specific information only recently accessible to modern science. Robert Temple traces the traditions of the Dogon and three related tribes back 5, 000 years to the ancient Mediterranean cultures of Sumer and Egypt. He shows a knowledge dependent on physics and astrophysics, which they claimed was imported to them by visitors from Sirius. This Book was ranked at 25 by Google Books for keyword mystery.
