Nicholas Binge's novel is told by his fictional character, Chloe Chan, and masquerades as an academic work written by her, with footnotes and fictional bibliography. There is a second -- fictional -- title page which bears her name. As Chloe tells it, she is just about to give up on finding any real scholars at University when she starts to hear the rumours about Professor Roland Crannus. Spoken about in the whispers of conspiracy, the enigmatic Professor is idolised by students as the pinnacle of modern intellectualism - more myth than man. Drawn in by the mystery, and desperate to know more, Chloe follows the Professor into an academic labyrinth of clandestine mysteries and untold possibilities. But as her obsession with the Professor grows, she finds that someone, or something, hunts her through this maze. Plunged into an otherworldly chess game of linguistics, anthropology and quantum theory, Chloe is quickly forced to question everything that she once thought true.Ten years on since the tragedy in London, Professor Crannus is now a household name. His discoveries and actions litter the pages of our newspapers and our history books, but much of what he did is still shrouded in cover-up and conspiracy. For the first time since the catastrophe that shook the world, Chloe Chan chooses to share her story.PROFESSOR EVERYWHERE is a sci-fi mystery novel, combining the academic thrills of "The Da Vinci Code" and the literary style of Ted Chiang's "Story Of Your Life". // ________________________________________"Just step through that door and remember that when it closes behind you, everything turns to fiction and no longer exists except in your own mind: mad or sane."-Lawrence Gray, Founder, Hong Kong Writers' Circle, Winner of the Proverse Prize 2015, author of "Adam's Franchise", "Cop Show Heaven", and "Odds and Sods".________________________________________"The real trauma of Professor Everywhere...involves our readerly alignment with Chloe [Chan]: a contemporary Icarus who lives to recall her epic fall."-Jason S Polley, Associate Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, Hong Kong Baptist University.

One touch. One kiss. One night. One baby. Professor Poppy Green had brains and beauty, a lethal combination that tempted me in ways I hadn’t fully understood, until the moment I saw her again, four months later. Her smile wobbled, her green eyes swam with tears, and her hands protected the swell of her belly. The baby was mine. I knew that without having to ask. I was going to be a Dad. Somehow, someway, I had to show Poppy that I didn’t just want the baby, but I wanted her too.
It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of Usa has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber. Carson's incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization.
The Essential College Professor is about the "how" and "why" of being a faculty member today. Based on the author's series of highly successful faculty development workshops, each chapter deals concisely with the most important information college professors need at their fingertips when confronted by a particular challenge or faced with an exciting opportunity. Written both as a comprehensive guide to an academic career and as a ready reference to be consulted whenever needed, The Essential College Professor emphasizes proven solutions over untested theories and stresses what faculty members have to know now in order to be successful in their careers. Each chapter is concluded by a short exercise that faculty members can perform to help them, for instance, completely revise a course by restructuring the syllabus and course materials, bring new life to a research project by reframing it as a book proposal or grant application, and so on.
