Alumni Book Club: Spring Read
Friday, May 17, 2024
About this Event
Join Us for our next confirmed read, American Eclipse: A Nation's Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win the Glory of the World by David Baron.
“David Baron beautifully captures the awe, the magic, and the mystery of one particular eclipse, an event in 1878 that spurred on America to embrace the sciences. A superb contribution to the history of astronomy.” —Marcia Bartusiak, author of Einstein's Unfinished Symphony
The New York Times praised American Eclipse’s “stories of these three enterprising scientists (that) reflect the ambition and intellectual curiosity of the United States in the late-nineteenth-century when the country was trying to cement its place in the international scientific community.” Reflect on this history as a solar eclipse visits the United States while we read this book!
Expand your horizons and be part of a community that celebrates the joy of reading with the Nevada Alumni Book Club! There is no cost to participate – you just have to get a copy of the book to enjoy. If you haven't signed up you can do so online to join in on the conversation.
How it works
The book club will connect through a private online forum where people can discuss the current book and network with each other. The group will spend two months on each book, so you'll have plenty of time to read. To learn more visit our sign-up page.
Why should you join?
There are three main reasons we hope you'll be excited to participate in our book club:
1) Connect with fellow alumni
2) Be a part of a lifelong learning community
3) Reading is good for you!
We hope you’ll join us on the literary adventures that lie ahead!
