Be a part of an afternoon book discussion with David Baron, a science writer, eclipse chaser, and volunteer eclipse expert with STAR Net's Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries (SEAL) Community. David will join us on Zoom to discuss his book American Eclipse, a narrative history that tells the true story of a total eclipse that crossed the American frontier in 1878 and inspired our country’s rise as a scientific power. It’s a tale of the Wild West and Gilded Age, featuring a young Thomas Edison—who traveled to Wyoming for the eclipse—and the pioneering Vassar College astronomer Maria Mitchell, who led an all-female eclipse expedition to Denver to show what women could do in science. *Copies of the book will be available for checkout at our Customer Services Desk. Registration required. Open to all.
