Join us as we explore the newest work of acclaimed author David Baron - THE MARTIANS: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America.For as long as we’ve had telescopes, we’ve been obsessed with Mars. More so than our other planetary neighbors, Mars captures our fascination with its seeming potential to nurture something we’ve yet to discover anywhere else: extraterrestrial life. This possibility—scientifically founded or not—has catapulted a pop-cultural fixation on what the Martians and their world could look like. THE MARTIANS: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America is an adventurous journey into the “science” that spurned our imagination and its lasting cultural impacts. Beginning with Percival Lowell, a Harvard scion who convinced a generation of astronomers that grainy telescopic photographs revealed evidence of life on the red planet, David Baron weaves together newly discovered photographs, letters, and news clippings to tell this truly bizarre tale. Pre-order your copy of the book now, and David will be available after the presentation to inscribe it personally!
