Eclipse: Journeys to the Dark Side of the Moon, by popular science author Frank Close, describes the spellbinding allure of this beautiful natural phenomenon. The book explains why eclipses happen, reveals their role in history, literature and myth, and introduces us to eclipse chasers, who travel with ecstatic fervor to some of the most inaccessible places on the globe. The book also includes the author's quest to solve a 3000-year-old mystery: how did the moon move backward during a total solar eclipse, as claimed in the Book of Joshua? Eclipse is also the story of how a teacher inspired the author, aged eight, to pursue a career in science and a love affair with eclipses that has taken him to a war zone in the Western Sahara, the South Pacific, and the African bush. The tale comes full circle with another eight-year old boy - the author's grandson - at the 2017 great American eclipse. Readers of all ages will be drawn to this inspirational chronicle of the mesmerizing experience of total solar eclipse.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.78 Close Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 523.78 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.78 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.78 Cl Lost 08/31/2023 Add Copy to MyList
