Astronomer and author Ken Croswell will be speaking this Thursday night,
November 6, in Berkeley, California, about the planet Mars. His brand new book Magnificent Mars is the most beautiful ever published about the red planet, and his Berkeley talk is free and open to the public. During the talk, he'll describe the four elements of Mars--Earth, Air, Fire, and Water--and show most of the images from Magnificent Mars. For details, see http://KenCroswell.com Dr. Croswell earned his Ph.D. in astronomy at Harvard University and is the author of several highly acclaimed astronomy books, including The Alchemy of the Heavens, Planet Quest, Magnificent Universe, See the Stars, and The Universe at Midnight. "Our little neighbor Mars will be the first New World of the century that has just dawned. Ken Croswell has done a superb job in outlining what is known, and what is suspected, about the next home of mankind beyond the Moon." --Sir Arthur C. Clarke "A splendid survey of what we know about Mars, valuable both to the beginner and to the expert. It is skilfully written and beautifully illustrated. Recommended without hesitation!" --Sir Patrick Moore Other Magnificent Mars talks: 11/17: Portland OR 11/19: Seattle WA 11/22: Seattle WA 11/25: Vancouver BC 12/12: Los Angeles CA area 12/13: Los Angeles CA area 1/13: New York NY (two talks) 1/15: Boston MA area (tentative) 1/21: Philadelphia PA (tentative) 1/23: Dallas TX 1/24: Kansas City MO 1/31: Oakland CA 2/6: Chicago IL 2/10: Minneapolis MN 2/12: Cleveland OH 2/14: Ann Arbor MI 2/15: Detroit MI 2/18: Toronto ON (tentative) 2/20: St. Louis MO 2/24: Salt Lake City UT Correct email: MagnificentUniverse "at" yahoo "dot" com |
