Since the earliest days of British television drama, scriptwriter Nigel Kneale has been a seminal figure. His Quatermass serials for the BBC were a seismic event in the 1950s, before finding international success when adapted by Hammer Films for the big screen. Later TV plays, such as The Road, The Stone Tape and The Year of the Sex Olympics, skilfully blend elements of science fiction and the ghost story. They remain classics and Kneale himself a great influence on popular culture. Revised and updated, this new edition of Into the Unknown charts Nigel Kneale's extraordinary career, from his childhood on the Isle of Man, to his fraught days at the BBC, strange adventures in Hollywood, and his status as legend to legions of fans. It draws on a wealth of research and many hours of interviews with Kneale himself, as well as prominent admirers. These include John Carpenter, Ramsey Campbell, Grant Morrison, Russell T Davies, and Mark Gatiss and Jeremy Dyson of the League of Gentlemen.
Into the Unknown is the inspiring story of one man's successful quest for meaning, from hair-raising mountain adventures, to medical breakthroughs, to the inner circle of Camelot.
This is a memoir about my work as a Public Health Nurse both in Scotland and Canada. It gives some insight into the diverse areas I lived and the interesting people I met. Public Health is a vastly different career from one of a hospital nurse. Working in isolation, although frightening at times, allowed for ingenuity and trying out many ideas and various ways of getting the job done.
If you met Ron Carlson, CEO of a Chicago-based architectural firm, you wouldn't necessarily think of him as the daredevil type. But Ron's life has been a series of death-defying exploits. Into the Unknown: True Stories of a Pilot Cheating Death chronicles a few of Ron's most brazen endeavors, from flying to the high Arctic and being stalked by polar bears to bailing out of an old World War II bomber before it crashes. Ron undertakes the adventures in these tales to satisfy his unrelenting curiosity. He survives them due to his ability to plan for every possible contingency. Each narrow escape reveals valuable lessons about navigating our lives—and daring to live our dreams.

A lifetime of observing the sky has rewarded him with a destination and now nothing will stop him from seeing his dreams brought to life. He's found what he believes is the sister star to his own sun, and he fully expects to find inhabitable planets there. He has committed himself to financing an interstellar expedition, and now all he needs is a crew. He is building a ship for the journey a ship that he's convinced can reach half the speed of light. If his math is on target, the round trip to this new planet should take roughly twenty-eight years. But for the crew, the time will pass as in a dream as they safely hibernate in freezers designed for the journey. He has certain specific requirements of his crew, but first he must find a recruiter someone to assemble the crew of his dreams. The rewards are enticing, the Chief believes. His crew will be the first humans to walk on an alien world, and on top of that, they will be handsomely paid. So the search begins for single, educated, and adventurous souls who want to go on the adventure of a lifetime. But like most grand dreams, things to do not always go as planned. Can his crew save the Chief's dreams and their lives?
