For more than twenty years The Year's Best Science Fiction has been recognized as the best collection of short science fiction writing in the universe and an essential resource for every science fiction fan. In 2005 the original Best of the Best collected the finest short stories from that series and became a benchmark in the SF field. Now, for the first time ever, Hugo Award-winning editor Gardner Dozios sifts through hundreds of stories and dozens of authors who have gone on to become some of the most esteemed practitioners of the form, to bring readers the ultimate anthology of short science fiction novels from his legendary series.
Included are such notable short novels as:

Sailing to Byzantium by Robert Silverberg
In the fiftieth century, people of Earth are able to create entire cities on a whim, including those of mythology and legend. When twentieth-century traveler Charles Philip accidentally lands in this aberrant time period, he is simultaneously obsessed with discovering more about this alluring world and getting back home. But in a world made entirely of man's creation, things are not always as they seem on the surface.

Forgiveness Day by Ursula K. Le Guin
Le Guin returns to her Hainish-settled interstellar community, the Edumen, to tell the tale of two star-crossed lovers who are literally worlds apart in this story of politics, violence, religion, and cultural disparity.

Turquoise Days by Alastair Reynolds
On a sea-wold planet covered with idyllic tropical oceans, peace seems pervasive. Beneath the placid water lurks an ominous force that has the potential to destroy all tranquility.

Contributors include: Greg Egan; Joe Haldeman; James Patrick Kelly; Nancy Kress; Ursula K. Le Guin; Ian R. MacLeod; Ian McDonald; Maureen F. McHugh; Frederick Pohl; Alastair Reynolds; Robert Silverberg; Michael Swanwick; Walter Jon Williams

With work spanning two decades, The Best of the Best, Volume 2 stands as the ultimate anthology of short science fiction novels ever published in the world.

Fresh and clean
I'm not fully sold on blackhead removal, but I do like that it cleans dead skin and leaves a fresh, clean feeling. Will try for a couple more weeks to see if it makes any difference

Brighter, smoother skin within a week
This Peeling Shot Glow Rice Ampoule Duo has easily earned a permanent spot on my bathroom shelf. The day and night combo really does make a difference — the daytime ampoule brightens and smooths, while the nighttime formula deeply hydrates and helps my skin recover overnight. After about a week, I noticed a natural glow that even my partner commented on (and that’s saying something).The rice-based formula is gentle but still effective — it exfoliates without irritation, even on sensitive skin like mine. It has a clean, light scent and a silky texture that absorbs fast without feeling sticky. I use it on my face and occasionally on rougher areas like elbows and neck, and everything feels softer and more even-toned.It’s refreshing to find a product that delivers real results without harsh chemicals or heavy fragrances. The dual bottles also look sleek and keep my routine simple — one for day, one for night, done. I currently recommend this product. If anything changes I will update my review accordingly.

Excellent product!!!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been getting into more natural skincare lately, especially beef tallow products, so I wanted to try a sunscreen like this. I like that it uses tallow along with zinc oxide for protection. The texture is smooth and not overly greasy, and it blends in better than I expected for a mineral sunscreen. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized. I’ve used it on both my face and body, and it feels comfortable throughout the day. It’s also been good with my daughter’s skin, even though she has skin problems, which has been a big plus for us.
