This volume is the first collected edition of Bishop s fiction and includes several works nominated for the Hugo and Nebula Awards: Blooded on Arachne, Cathadonian Odyssey, Effigies, The House of Compassionate Sharers, In Chinistrex Fortronza the People Are Machines, Leaps of Faith, On the Street of the Serpents, Pinon Fall, Rogue Tomato, Spacemen and Gypsies, The White Otters of Childhood, plus two poems, Among the Hominids at Olduvai and For the Lady of a Physicist.
