Join the Friends of the Library and hear from Dr Roderick Hill about his books Chasing Solar Eclipses: A Comprehensive Guide and Space to Live: The Search for an Alternative Home for Humanity.
'Space to Live' discusses the origins of life on Earth, and the complex, intricate and rare combination of factors that have allowed it to survive and prosper over the past four billion years. It examines the search for, and likelihood of, the existence of simple and complex intelligent life forms elsewhere, as well as the history of space flight.
Dr Rod Hill will be in conversation with his wife, Monica Hill, fellow eclipse chaser and a counselling psychologist in private practice. Monica and Rod "chase" total solar eclipses as a travel hobby and have now witnessed thirteen of these magnificent natural wonders in interesting places all around the world.
