Longlisted for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Prize for Literary Science Writing Winner of the AIP Science Communication Award An Amazon Best Book of the Year (Science) A St. Louis Post-Dispatch Best Book of the Year Finalist for the Colorado Book Award (Nonfiction) Booklist Editors’ Choice (Science & Technology) Featuring a new afterword priming readers for the total solar eclipse of 2024, this “essential” (BBC) account brilliantly captures the celestial and human drama of eclipses. With this “suspenseful narrative history” (Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air), award-winning science writer David Baron tells the story of the enterprising scientists—among them, planet hunter James Craig Watson, pioneering astronomer Maria Mitchell, and ambitious young inventor Thomas Edison—who raced to Wyoming and Colorado in the summer of 1878, at the dawn of the Gilded Age, to observe the first great American eclipse. Thrillingly recreating the fierce jockeying of these nineteenth-century astronomers, Baron draws on years of “exhaustive research to reconstruct a remarkable chapter of U.S. history” (Lee Billings, Scientific American), when the fate of American science still hung precariously in the balance. Now updated with an afterword that unites eclipses and eclipse-chasers past and present—revisiting the total solar eclipse of 2017 and looking forward to that of 2024—American Eclipse reveals the enduring power of these ethereal events to bring people together across space and time.

Total solar eclipses-the perfect alignment of the Sun and Moon that causes the Sun's light to temporarily block part of the Earth's surface, creating a surreal twilight during the day and revealing the otherwise invisible gossamer tendrils of the spectacular atmosphere of the Sun-were common in the medieval, 18th, and 19th centuries-are the subject of this book. The book discusses the definition of a total solar eclipse and the reasons behind the hype surrounding it.It also explains why more than 200 million Americans were able to witness the 2017 "Great American Eclipse" in person or online.It discusses the myths that have existed for centuries about eclipses, how they have helped us understand the Solar System, and theories about the universe.It serves as a helpful "how-to" guide for anyone who wants to get the most out of seeing and photographing a total eclipse. The book focuses on the various types of eclipse, as well as their mythology, history, and celestial mechanics.It also shows what solar eclipses might look like to someone on another planet in the Solar System and talks about other types of eclipses like lunar, transit, and occultations.

Two best friends. One tiny tent. An attraction that’s impossible to ignore. Melody Being a semi-famous science tokker epically rocks because I get to make science accessible for girls. Until I make a mistake and a jerkface tokker ridicules me to his fans. I need to prove I’m not a hack before my followers bail and I ruin my credibility—all before I graduate from high school. Just one problem: my family’s hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where I won’t have signal for a week. Oh, and I’m sharing a tent with the Bestie Brigade—my two best friends—and I’ve crushed on one of them for longer than trends last on TikTok. Dating Steph would make Jess feel left out and I vowed I’d never do that to her again. Do I risk hurting my closest friend for a chance at love? Stephanie Senior year was rolling along just great until my parents announced they’re getting divorced the same night I broke up with my girlfriend. Spending a week offline in the Grand Canyon to watch the lunar eclipse with Jess and Mel is the perfect way to pretend my life isn’t falling apart. Except we’re camping with people who insist on talking through EVERY FREAKING PROBLEM around the campfire. And I’m not ready to share. The time away with Mel makes our connection even stronger, but I’m scared whatever she’s hiding could change our friendship forever. Book 3 in the Campfire Series is filled with grand adventures, secret kisses, and an epic eclipse you won’t soon forget.

Gold Winner (YA Fiction General) 2020 -- Moonbeam Children's Book Awards Quarter-Finalist (MG-YA) 2020 -- BookLife Prize The new boy. The quiet girl. Will they find love during the solar eclipse? Neb Starting at a new school senior year sucks. Moving across Oregon to live with my mom after my dad died is worse. But I refuse to miss the total solar eclipse at the end of summer. Dad and I looked forward to it for as long as I can remember, so when my only friend in my new town invites me on a school camping trip to watch it, I’m there. And only 67% of my wanting to go is because of Sage, the quiet girl on the group text my friend started. She gets my jokes, doesn’t mind when I geek out about the eclipse, and for the first time in months, I’m looking forward to something. Sage When my controlling ex broke up with me at the end of junior year, I thought my only chance at love was over. But then Neb moved to town and what started as a casual text conversation turned into something that made me believe that maybe I’m not as damaged as I thought. My self-help-loving best friend is dragging me on “the path of self-healing” — a path that apparently includes camping with twenty classmates to see the solar eclipse. And Neb, the boy I’ve never seen but whose silly space jokes turn my insides to mush, will be there. But when we finally meet in person, another girl stakes her claim on him. Do I run the other way to save my heart, or risk it all for a chance at happiness with this space boy? Book one in the Campfire Series, Chasing the Sun, is a lighthearted romance with space puns, Portland shenanigans, and enough feels to totally eclipse your heart.
