In 2014, more than 200,000 words were removed from the manuscript of Martin's companion book The World of Ice & Fire and were incorporated into Fire & Blood.
In February 2017, Elio Garcia, Martin's co-author of The World of Ice & Fire, reported that he had spoken with Martin at WorldCon 75, held in 2017 in Helsinki, about the first volume of Fire & Blood. According to Garcia, in addition to the never-published material developed for The World of Ice & Fire, Martin also created entirely new material for the book, having "worked some on just fleshing out a bit" the long reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, which was previously only glossed over in "Heirs of the Dragon".
On July 22, 2017, Martin revealed on his blog that the material for Fire and Blood had grown so large that the decision had been made to publish the histories of the Targaryen kings in two volumes. The first volume, simply called Fire & Blood, is set to cover the history of Westeros from Aegon's Conquest up to and through the regency of the boy king, Aegon III Targaryen. While the first volume of Fire & Blood has been largely written already, the second volume remains largely unwritten.
In April, 2018, when announcing the publication date, Martin revealed the manuscript to be 989 pages long.

The Theory Of Everything by Stephen Hawking This book is a transcription of several lectures Stephen Hawking gave sometime before 1996. He does not own the copyright to these lectures, and would prefer that people who are interested in his work instead consult the books that he has written himself. Ironically, of the books by Hawking that I've tried, this is really the most enjoyable to me. Partly this may be because the lecture format required a particular kind of conciseness that his books lack. I have been listening to the book on audio as well as reading it. The audio version is, apparently, a direct recording of his lectures, and is given by means of his speech synthesizer. This is interesting and quite intelligible, although some proper names have odd pronunciations. I completed only the first three chapters, described below. Chapter 1: Ideas about the Universe Aristotle and the many reasons for a spherical earth, as well as an over-estimate of its circumference. The me...

Book Review of" The Invisible Man"

 the biggest interesting e-book which creates its delusion world The Invisible guy, a technology fiction written by way of HG Wells has a completely theatrical start. “The visitor came in February, one freezing day, thru a biting wind and lashing snow, the ultimate snowfall of the 12 months, over the downhill, rambling from Bramblehurst railway station, and resounding a bit suitcase in his gruffly gloved hand. He becomes enfolded from head to foot, except the edge of his soft touched hat hid each inch of his face, despite the fact that the sleek tip of his nose; the snow had accumulated itself towards his shoulder and chest and appended a white crest to the load he carried. He stunned in the “train and Horses” more useless than alive, and threw his suitcase down. ‘A fireplace’ he wept, ‘in the appellation of human charity! A room and a fireplace!’ He embossed and trembled the snow off himself within the bar, and tailed Mrs hall into her visitor parlor to strike ...
