Today
Urania is currently published every month, but with a slightly decreasing success; Urania Collezione sells a little more copies. Urania is by far the longest life science fiction series published in Italy (in July 2005 the issue number 1500 was released: it contained the translation of Stories for Men, a short novel by John Kessel; Il ranch di Cranwell, a short novel by Giorgio Monicelli; and short stories by Fruttero & Lucentini, Gianni Montanari, and Giuseppe Lippi). Both series share editor-in-chief Giuseppe Lippi and cover artist Franco Brambilla.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“The greatest block today in the way of woman’s emancipation is the church, the canon law, the Bible and the priesthood.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
