I have three recent posts that are all book related:
Last week best-selling author Dava Sobel gave a talk in Seattle about her
latest, The Glass Universe, about the contributions of women working at the
Harvard College Observatory. My recap of her talk is at:

Tyler Nordgren's new book is Sun Moon Earth, about this history of solar
eclipses, changing scientific approaches, travelogue, and a bit of how-to
for next year's total solar eclipse. My review is at:

Finally, Seattle University will hold a Search for Meaning Festival Feb.
25, and three of the talks may be of interest to astronomy buffs. A rundown
