Some of the best and most original prose in America today is being written by literary journalists. Memoirs and personal essays, profiles, science and nature reportage, travel writing -- literary journalists are working in all of these forms with artful styles and fresh approaches. In Literary Journalism, editors Norman Sims and Mark Kramer have collected the finest examples of literary journalism from both the masters of the genre who have been working for decades and the new voices freshly arrived on the national scene. The fifteen essays gathered here include: -- John McPhee's account of the battle between army engineers and the lower Mississippi River -- Susan Orlean's brilliant portrait of the private, imaginative world of a ten-year-old boy -- Tracy Kidder's moving description of life in a nursing home -- Ted Conover's wild journey in an African truck convoy while investigating the spread of AIDS -- Richard Preston's bright piece about two shy Russian mathematicians who live in Manhattan and search for order in a random universe -- Joseph Mitchell's classic essay on the rivermen of Edgewater, New Jersey -- And nine more fascinating pieces of the nation's best new writing In the last decade this unique form of writing has grown exuberantly -- and now, in Literary Journalism, we celebrate fifteen of our most dazzling writers as they work with great vitality and astonishing variety.

500,000 years before ancient men lit fire, alien beings, possessed of technology beyond all comprehension, discovered planet earth. What they found and had been seeking, was a bounty of resources: water, minerals, food, plants, and animals. Their discovery warranted an investment in engineering and infrastructure. To that end, they designed and built a series of underground complexes which resembled cross-like domes, structures they would use as both a base and laboratory for their plans. In the mid-1960's, a brilliant young physicist, Sabius Farrow, was given two alien artifacts by Robert Oppenheimer, who had been FDR's director of the WWII Manhattan Project. With the devices he now possessed, Farrow learned what Oppenheimer already knew: that somewhere under a mountain in Idaho rested an alien lair. For over forty years, Farrow researched and learned the alien technology. But when UFO's began appearing in great numbers, everything changed. Arron Voss, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had plans of his own. And when Farrow's daughter, herself a renowned physicist, went missing on Mount Deception, a confrontation between men and aliens was now inevitable.

A flu virus emerges in Mumbai, India. For weeks, no one is concerned. After all, the flu appears every year. But this virus is different. It has one unusual symptom. Some of those infected with the virus become enraged. They become violent and destructive. As the virus progresses, the Rage, as it is being called, begins to concern world governments. Something has to be done to stop it. ? Mick Delaney, CEO of the pharmaceutical company Immutrends is called on by the president of the United States to develop a vaccine for the Rage. From that research, Mick discovers something inexplicably frightening: the Mumbai Flu, the Rage, will eventually evolve into an Ebola variant, something Mick names Ebola Air. That airborne virus could have a mortality rate of over 90 percent. It could lead to an extinction-level event, one that would all but destroy mankind. ? Because of the potential for such a threat, Mick and his partners, Grant Tracer and Emily Adkins, design a vast underground shelter to be built in the Montana wilderness. The project, called the Core, will allow up to two hundred members to be protected from the pandemic for up to twenty years. Members will be sent a signal when it is time to travel to Montana. Inside the Core, his team will attempt to find a vaccine for Ebola Air. But there's a larger questionâhow did a flu virus mutate into an Ebola strain?
