The New Voyages
''Star Trek: The New Voyages'' (1976) is an anthology of short fiction based on ''Star Trek'', edited by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath. Although published professionally, the collected stories were written and submitted by fans. Many of the stories were previously published in fanzines, or collected in fan-published anthologies. ''The New Voyages'' was commissioned by Frederik Pohl following his acquisition of ''Star Trek Lives!'', which featured essays on the growing ''Star Trek'' fandom, and a chapter on ''Star Trek'' fan fiction. From 1976 to 1996, ''The New Voyages'' was reprinted twenty times. The final printing by Bantam Spectra, in 1996, featured new cover art by Kazuhiko Sano. Marshak and Culbreath continued collecting stories for future volumes following publication of the anthology. The "Acknowledgments" page listed an address where manuscript submissions, and feedback, could be delivered. ''The New Voyages'' was followed '' Star Trek: The New Voyages 2'' in 1978. ...

Science Fiction Anthologies
Science is a systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Science may be as old as the human species, and some of the earliest archeological evidence for scientific reasoning is tens of thousands of years old. The earliest written records in the history of science come from Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3000 to 1200 BCE. Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to provide explanations of events in the physical world based on natural causes. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, knowledge of Greek conceptions of the world deteriorated in Western Europe during the early centuries (400 to 1000 CE) of the Middle Ages, but was preserved in the Muslim world during the Islamic Golden Age and later by the efforts of Byzantine Greek scholars who brought Greek ma ...
