About this month's title:
\nWhen an extra-terrestrial visitor arrives on Earth\, his first impressions of the human species are less than positive. Taking the form of Professor And rew Martin\, a prominent mathematician at Cambridge University\, the visit or is eager to complete the gruesome task assigned him and hurry home to h is own utopian planet\, where everyone is omniscient and immortal.
\nHe is disgusted by the way humans look\, what they eat\, their c apacity for murder and war\, and is equally baffled by the concepts of lov e and family. But as time goes on\, he starts to realize there may be more to this strange species than he had thought. Disguised as Martin\, he dri nks wine\, reads poetry\, develops an ear for rock music\, and a taste for peanut butter. Slowly\, unexpectedly\, he forges bonds with Martin's fami ly. He begins to see hope and beauty in the humans' imperfection\, and beg ins to question the very mission that brought him there.
