SUMMARY:Community Read: American Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a literary adventure and community conversation! This Community Read will culminate during the Crested Butte Center for the ArtsÕ Mountain Words Festival with a free author talk at the Gunnison Library on Friday\, May 22th at 6pm. FREE COPIES of American Eclipse are available to pick up at each library location beginning May 1. About the book: On a scorching July afternoon in 1878\, at the dawn of the Gilded Age\, the moonÕs shadow descended on the American West\, darkening skies from Montana Territory to Texas. This rare celestial event-a total solar eclipse-offered a priceless opportunity to solve some of the solar systemÕs most enduring riddles\, and it prompted a clutch of enterprising scientists to brave the wild frontier in a grueling race to the Rocky Mountains. Acclaimed science journalist David Baron\, long fascinated by eclipses\, re-creates this epic tale of ambition\, failure\, and glory in a narrative that reveals as much about the historical trajectory of a striving young nation as it does about those scant three minutes when the blue sky blackened and stars appeared in mid-afternoon. In vibrant historical detail\, American Eclipse animates the fierce jockeying that came to dominate late nineteenth-century American astronomy\, bringing to life the challenges faced by three of the most determined eclipse chasers who participated in this adventure. James Craig Watson\, virtually forgotten in the twenty-first century\, was in his day a renowned asteroid hunter who fantasized about becoming a Gilded Age Galileo. Hauling a telescope\, a star chart\, and his long-suffering wife out west\, Watson believed that he would discover Vulcan\, a hypothesized Òintra-MercurialÓ planet hidden in the sunÕs brilliance. No less determined was Vassar astronomer Maria Mitchell\, who-in an era when womenÕs education came under fierce attack-fought to demonstrate that science and higher learning were not anathema to femininity. Despite obstacles erected by the male-dominated astronomical community\, an indifferent government\, and careless porters\, Mitchell courageously charged west with a contingent of female students intent on observing the transcendent phenomenon for themselves. Finally\, Thomas Edison-a young inventor and irrepressible showman-braved the wilderness to prove himself to the scientific community. Armed with his newest invention\, the tasimeter\, and pursued at each stop by throngs of reporters\, Edison sought to leverage the eclipse to cement his place in history. What he learned on the frontier\, in fact\, would help him illuminate the world. With memorable accounts of train robberies and Indian skirmishes\, David BaronÕs page-turning drama refracts nineteenth-century science through the mythologized age of the Wild West\, revealing a history no less fierce and fantastical. About the author: David Baron is an award-winning journalist and author who writes about science\, nature\, and the American West. Formerly a science correspondent for NPR and science editor for the public radio program The World\, he has also written for The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Wall Street Journal\, Los Angeles Times\, Scientific American\, and other publications. While conducting research for his latest book\, THE MARTIANS\, he served as the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology\, Exploration\, and Scientific Innovation. David is an avid eclipse chaser\, and his TED Talk on the subject has been viewed more than 2 million times. An affiliate of the University of ColoradoÕs Center for Environmental Journalism\, he lives in Boulder.

SUMMARY:Myth Understandings: An Evening of Comedy

Expect to laugh and learn in equal measure as we explore: Cartoonishly bad ideas that stuck around for centuries How cognitive biases and social instincts drive our love of myth and lore Why modern misinformation feels so compelling It’s part aha\, part haha\, and all about celebrating curiosity and the pursuit of understanding.
