American Eclipse: A Nation's Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win the Glory of the World
by Baron, David
|
| |
| On a July afternoon in 1878, a total solar eclipse offered a priceless opportunity to solve some of the solar system's most enduring riddles, and it prompted a clutch of enterprising scientists to brave the wild frontier in a grueling race to the Rocky Mountains. Science journalist David Baron 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 in mid-afternoon. | | |
