Podcast appearances and mentions of Jules Verne

Jules Verne (1828 - 1905)Translated by Martha LionMeister Zacharius ist ein Uhrmacher in Genf und berühmt für die Genauigkeit seiner Uhren. Eines Tages beginnen seine Uhren falsch zu gehen und mehr und mehr von ihnen bleiben ganz stehen. Trotz aller Mühe gelingt es ihm nicht, die Uhren wieder in Gang zu setzen oder die Ursache des Defekts zu finden. Gleichzeitig wird er ernsthaft krank und sein Verstand und seine Seele geraten aus dem Gleichgewicht. Es scheint ein Zusammenhang zwischen den stehengebliebenen Uhren und seiner Lebenszeit zu bestehen. (Summary by Hokuspokus)

Découvrez la première Chaman, classe à horaires aménagés maths et numérique, au collège Jules-Verne de Buxerolles. Elle a été ouverte en septembre 2024 et confiée à Céline Naudin, une professeure de mathématiques qui travaille en partenariat avec l'espace Mendès-France, une association d'éveil à la culture scientifique, pour assurer les trois heures d'activité hebdomadaire. Dans cette option qui compte une majorité de filles et des élèves de tous niveaux, on prône un rapport décomplexé aux maths, le droit à l'erreur et une saine émulation. Ainsi les élèves peuvent s'initier sans pression à la programmation, la cryptologie, la robotique, et s'ouvrirent également à des activités, des défis et des métiers qui leur sont inconnus. À l'heure où le gouvernement annonce le plan « Filles et maths », cette initiative unique en son genre tombe à pic et ne demande qu'à faire des émules…Les épisodes Extra classe de la playlist Enseigner les mathématiques peuvent vous intéresser.Et nous vous rappelons qu'il y a désormais Entre profs, le nouveau RDV Extra classe le premier mercredi de chaque mois, qui propose de répondre en moins de 3 minutes aux questionnements et problématiques rencontrés tout au long de l'année.

On peut passer plus de deux décennies au coeur de la voile de haut niveau et n'avoir accordé qu'une poignée d'interviews : à 44 ans, Erwan Israël, marin recherché, est aussi, c'est peu de le dire, un homme de l'ombre. Formé à Brest puis à Hyères, il suit d'abord la filière olympique en laser, avant de bifurquer vers la course en équipage. Dès 2001, il découvre le Tour de France à la voile, qu'il remportera à plusieurs reprises avec l'équipe TPM–COYCH (2005, 2007), tout en développant ses compétences de tacticien et de navigateur.Entre 2006 et 2009, il s'essaye au Figaro, devient vice-champion du monde de match racing, navigue en Class America. En 2010, il intègre le Groupama Sailing Team et participe à la légendaire et victorieuse Volvo Ocean Race 2011–2012 à bord de Groupama 4, avec Franck Cammas. Il rejoint en suite Spindrift Racing. Navigateur à bord du plus grand trimaran de course du monde, Spindrift 2, il participe à plusieurs tentatives du Trophée Jules Verne et remporte notamment la Route de la Découverte (2013) et la Fastnet Race (2015). C'est aussi là qu'il bascule vers des fonctions de routage et de performance à terre.Depuis 2019, il évolue au sein du Gitana Team, dont il est devenu une pièce maîtresse, en tant que navigateur, routeur et responsable de la cellule performance. Il accompagne la victoire sur la Brest Atlantiques (2019) et  la Transat Jacques Vabre (2021), puis devient co-skipper de Charles Caudrelier sur celle de 2023. Il éclate à l'écran dans son rôle de routeur, menant son skipper à la victoire dans la Route du Rhum (2022) et l'Arkea Ultim Challenge (2024). Ces derniers mois, il est accaparé par la conception de Gitana 18, dont la mise à l'eau est attendue en septembre. Des heures derrière l'écran, encore ; mais la promesse d'heures à voler prochainement...Diffusé le 13 Juin 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

In this episode, Chris and Alex discuss one of the greatest challenges writers face and how to overcome it.They emphasize the importance of allowing one's imagination to run free and ask 'what if,' using historical examples from Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Mary Shelley to illustrate how these iconic writers created groundbreaking stories without the modern conveniences we have today. They also explore the relevance of classic storytelling techniques in contemporary writing and encourage aspiring writers to continue telling their stories despite obstacles, offering practical advice and motivational insights.Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then, please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: TTDSOnAir@gmail.comAnd follow us on ...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube.com/ Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you're enjoying these episodes, please take a moment to help wet our whistle by clicking on the link to ... ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠

Na Michiel Veenstra mag Ralf Verhoef - ook één derde van de Nederlandse Disney-podcast D-Tales - eens aanschuiven. Dit voorjaar kon ik nog met hen meegaan op groepsreis naar de drie Aziatische Disney Resorts. Dat blijkt een meerwaarde voor deze aflevering: we hebben het over een oude familiefilm, maar wel eentje met een stevige voetafdruk in zowel ‘onze' Disneyland Paris als in Tokyo DisneySea. De boot Nautilus uit Jules Verne's ‘20.000 Leagues Under the Sea' heeft een plekje in Discoveryland in Parijs en zelfs een heel gebied Mysterious Island ofte Vulcania in Tokio. We hebben het over de vrouwen van Kirk Douglas, over Imagineer Harper Goff die de spectaculaire decors bouwde en over de pax media's die Walt Disney sloot om deze peperdure film te kunnen draaien. Maar het gaat ook over atoomenergie, over de dandy in Kapitein Nemo en waarom Douglas hier zo hard op Popeye lijkt. Verder wijken we graag uit over de eventuele uitbreidingen van het Disneyland Park in Parijs, de Society of Explorers and Adventurers en uiteraard de Aziatische parken. Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads!

Ce 215e épisode de Pos. Report est consacré à la classe Mini 6.50 avant le départ, le jeudi 5 juin de Douarnenez, du Trophée Marie-Agnès Péron, auquel participent, en catégorie proto, les deux invités, Benoît Marie (Nicomatic-Petit Bateau) et Basile Gautier (Nass&Wind/les EDG).L'un comme l'autre commencent par raconter comment ils sont venus à la classe Mini, un projet né après son entrée en alternance chez North Sails à l'âge de 16 ans pour Basile Gautier (23 ans aujourd'hui), également très jeune chez Benoît Marie, passionné de voile et de technique depuis longtemps, et qui est arrivé sur le circuit en 2012, avant de remporter un an plus tard la Mini Transat en proto.Quand Caroline Boule lui a parlé de relancer un projet sur un proto à foils signé Sam Manuard, ce dernier, passé depuis ses débuts au large par de nombreux supports (Ultim, Ocean Fifty, Moth…), a “repiqué” avec enthousiasme il y a trois ans. Il raconte l'apprentissage parfois compliqué du foil sur un bateau de 6,50 mètres, tandis que Basile Gautier explique de son côté pourquoi, après deux premières années sur le 802 (il n'a pas réussi à se qualifier pour la Mini Transat 2023), il a jeté son dévolu sur le 945, le fameux Tartine, lancé en 2018 par Axel Tréhin, puis équipé de foils en 2022 par Fabio Muzzolini, copropriétaire du plan Lombard.Après avoir détaillé les spécificités de leurs protos respectifs et comment ils financent leur projet, les deux skippers évoquent leurs ambitions pour la suite de la saison, avec en ligne de mire la Mini Transat. Et après ? Basile Gautier se verrait bien poursuivre en course au large, sans doute pas en Mini, Benoît Marie veut “voir le cap Horn”, que ce soit sur The Ocean Race, le Vendée Globe ou son rêve ultime, le Trophée Jules Verne.Diffusé le 03 Juin 2025Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Cette semaine, C'est en France retrace la vie de Jules Verne, l'un des écrivains les plus traduits au monde. Cent vingt ans après sa mort, ses "Voyages extraordinaires", parmi lesquels "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers", "Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingt jours", "Voyage au centre de la Terre", continuent d'inspirer tous les passionnés de récits d'aventures. Ancêtre de la science-fiction pour les uns, visionnaire pour les autres, il était un grand travailleur, un vulgarisateur hors pair et a su créer, avec l'aide de son éditeur Pierre-Jules Hetzel, des mondes imaginaires utilisés, aujourd'hui encore, dans la culture populaire. 

This week we delve into the life of Jules Verne, one of the world's most widely translated writers. The French author's "Extraordinary Voyages" include "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Around the World in Eighty Days" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth". They continue to inspire fans of adventure stories, 120 years after his death in 1905. Many consider Verne to be one of the founding fathers of science fiction, while others see him as a visionary. Those familiar with the man himself speak of a tireless worker, with an unparalleled gift for making his ideas accessible to all and, with the help of his publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel, a creator of imaginary worlds that are still part of the cultural landscape today.We discuss Verne's life and legacy with Jean Verne, his great-grandson; Céline Giton, author of "Jules Verne: an Extraordinary Animal Anthology"; Agnès Marcetteau-Paul, author of "The very curious Jules Verne"; and Pierre Stépanoff, director of the Maison Jules Verne in Amiens.

Ce 213e épisode de Pos. Report est consacré à la CIC Normandy Channel Race, dont la 16e édition s'élance le dimanche 25 mai de Caen-Ouistreham, avec trois invités qui seront sur la ligne de départ et ont tous la particularité d'être normands : Guillaume Pirouelle, qui fera équipe avec Cédric Chateau sur Sogestran-Seafrigo, Sophie Faguet, associée à Nicolas Jossier sur Défi Solidaire avec Ellye et l'Arche, et le tenant du titre, Fabien Delahaye, qui sera accompagné sur Legallais par Pierre Leboucher.Chacun revient d'abord sur des derniers mois bien occupés, entre la direction de course du Vendée Globe pour Fabien Delahaye, qui explique que cette expérience lui a permis de voir l'envers du décor d'une telle “machine” ; la Transat Paprec avec Jules Ducelier pour Sophie Faguet, qui revient sur leur abandon à mi-course à bord de Région Normandie ; le Trophée Jules Verne à bord de Sodebo Ultim 3 pour Guillaume Pirouelle, qui raconte une tentative interrompue au bout de 16 jours.Nos trois invités détaillent ensuite comment ils ont repris leur préparation en Class40 en vue de cette saison, une préparation minimale pour Sophie Faguet, puisque sa dernière navigation, avant le convoyage du bateau à Caen, remonte à… la CIC Normandy Channel Race 2024 en septembre dernier. Ils expliquent également à quel point, en tant que Normands, cette course a une importance particulière pour eux et leurs partenaires, et en exposent les particularités, Guillaume Pirouelle la comparant à une “grande étape de Solitaire du Figaro en double en Class40”.Ils finissent par expliquer quels sont leurs objectifs respectifs sur cette CIC Normandy Channel Race, avec des ambitions de victoire pour Fabien Delahaye (qui y participe pour la septième fois, quatre podiums, dont une victoire) et Guillaume Pirouelle (4e l'an dernier), l'envie de retrouver ses repères avec Nicolas Jossier pour Sophie Faguet, en vue du grand rendez-vous de la saison pour tous, la Transat Café L'Or (départ le 26 octobre du Havre).Diffusé le 20 Mai 2025Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

WEEK FOR MARS DREAMING AT STARBASE:   2/4: Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX  by  Eric Berger  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Liftoff-Desperate-Early-Launched-SpaceX/dp/0062979973/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In Liftoff, Eric Berger, senior space editor at Ars Technica, takes readers inside the wild early days that made SpaceX. Focusing on the company's first four launches of the Falcon 1 rocket, he charts the bumpy journey from scrappy underdog to aerospace pioneer. We travel from company headquarters in El Segundo, to the isolated Texas ranchland where they performed engine tests, to Kwajalein, the tiny atoll in the Pacific where SpaceX launched the Falcon 1. Berger has reported on SpaceX for more than a decade, enjoying unparalleled journalistic access to the company's inner workings. Liftoff is the culmination of these efforts, drawing upon exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk. The enigmatic Musk, who founded the company with the dream of one day settling Mars, is the fuel that propels the book, with his daring vision for the future of spacE. 1868 JULES VERNE

An ambitious genre-crossing exploration of Black speculative imagination, The Dark Delight of Being Strange: Black Stories of Freedom (Columbia University Press 2024) combines fiction, historical accounts, and philosophical prose to unveil the extraordinary and the surreal in everyday Black life.In a series of stories and essays, James B. Haile, III, traces how Black speculative fiction responds to enslavement, racism, colonialism, and capitalism and how it reveals a life beyond social and political alienation. He re-envisions Black technologies of freedom through Henry Box Brown's famed escape from slavery in a wooden crate, fashions an anticolonial “hollow earth theory” from the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, and considers the octopus and its ability to camouflage itself as a model for Black survival strategies, among others. Looking at Black life through the lens of speculative fiction, this book transports readers to alternative worlds and spaces while remaining squarely rooted in present-day struggles. In so doing, it rethinks historical and contemporary Black experiences as well as figures such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Henry Dumas, and Toni Morrison.Offering new ways to grasp the meanings and implications of Black freedom, The Dark Delight of Being Strange invites us to reimagine history and memory, time and space, our identities and ourselves.

Tom Sawyer Abroad is a novel by Mark Twain published in 1894. It features Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a parody of Jules Verne-esque adventure stories. In the story, Tom, Huck, and Jim set sail to Africa in a futuristic hot air balloon, where they survive encounters with lions, robbers, and fleas to see some of the world's greatest wonders, including the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, Detective, the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn. (Adapted from Wikipedia.) Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

“Sound is life for me.” The latest installment of the Earth.fm podcast, Wind Is the Original Radio, finds curator Melissa Pons in conversation with sound recordist and expedition leader George Vlad. You can listen to and read George's work elsewhere on the site - and you may already have heard recordings of his in high-profile projects such as Dune: Part Two and Mufasa: The Lion King, as well as various documentaries, TV series, podcasts, and audiobooks. The love of George's life, as a recordist and collector of sounds, is to be among wildlife sounds, trying to understand them, and getting to share them. Though he confesses to being initially fastidious about avoiding anthropophony, he explains that he has become more understanding and flexible, given how reductive it is to imagine that nature is separate from humans (and vice versa): “We are moving forward, whether we like it or not; progress happens: people need to travel and use power tools.” However, though he has become more open to recording people, he draws a line at combustion engines. He also shares about his journey from being a sound designer, when he originally saw field recordings as purely “tools or assets”, with no appreciation for the ecosystems they originated from. However, informed by his experience of growing up in the Romanian countryside - which taught him the value of loving nature and of living with it rather than trying to control it - he subsequently came to appreciate and take enjoyment from their beauty. Additional topics addressed during the episode include: The “heavy question” of decolonising sound recording and working ethically as a recordist outside of one's home culture. And, how working respectfully with locals can provide information that, as an outsider, he wouldn't otherwise be privy to - but also the importance of choosing what to share, considering the importance of certain areas to Indigenous peoples “Being careful, being mindful, trying not to create tension and problems; this is just being a human, being a nice person, having common sense - it's not just about sound recording.” Where some recordists cause damage, ignore local taboos, or go chasing after animals, George has learned to be more mindful, preferring to work with passive-recording drop-rigs, which are not only easier for him, but less disruptive for wildlife Fellow recordists who see going back to camp and having a cup of tea as ‘cheating' and consider suffering to add value to the work. While George has taken part in extreme expeditions (for example, in Sumatra and Gabon), “It was tough; I got a bunch of diseases, and it was painful, and I had to come back and spend two months taking antibiotics and trying to get better - but that didn't make the sound recordings better.” Alternatively, sometimes you're in air-conditioned lodges and being driven around (where it's unsafe to walk) - but that this is equally valid. Being attracted to the 'extremeness' of the experiences is ultimately only a way of making everything about yourself, and “that's just focusing on the wrong aspect; the soundscapes and the sound recordings are more valuable than the effort you put in, or the leeches that suck your blood” Things that George is afraid of in the field - which turns out to not be a lot, something he puts down to being brought up around cats, which can transmit Toxoplasma gondii to humans: a parasitic infection which reduces fear responses and increases risk-taking. However, he does fear losing his kit on a job Memorable field-recording experiences, including “sleeping on the edge of an active volcano in Ethiopia, without having taken any precautions” against the silica suspended in its gaseous emissions, which can cut up the lungs like broken glass… On the advise of a geologist who turned out not to have any experience of volcanoes How to incorporate study and research into a busy practice - not a problem when you “find it hard not to read”, and when research fuels excitement about new destinations. Also: recommendations of books for burgeoning recordists - not just ones on the subject of field recording itself, but useful adjacent ones, like learning to drive off-road, climb trees, or take up photography How to support conservation - not only in the form of international NGOs like WWF, but also tiny three-person initiatives where donations more appreciably go further (as long as you check that they're doing what they say they're doing!). Plus, training others in sound recording, who can potentially continue to record in their local environments when itinerant recordists have moved on What George would like to see in the future of sound recording - not just for sound recordists to be properly compensated, but for this work to become established as an valued art form in its own right, with more courses, teachers, and the corresponding improvement in people's ability to listen and pay attention to the world around them. Plus! The importance of making jam, playing video games, and reading Jules Verne. George would be delighted if you'd like to engage with his work, so feel free to follow him on his YouTube channel. “Sound is life for me.” The latest installment of the Earth.fm podcast, Wind Is the Original Radio, finds curator Melissa Pons in conversation with sound recordist and expedition leader George Vlad.

Il disposait probablement du plus petit budget de cette édition du Vendée Globe : 900 000 € au total pour les trois saisons et la course, qu'il termine en 27e position, après un peu plus de 91 jours de mer. Pas question pour Sébastien Marsset, malgré ces bouts de ficelles, de renoncer à la régate : d'où le concept de "sobriété performante" revendiqué par le Nantais, né à Paris voilà un peu plus de 40 ans.Formé sur le tas, à l'école de l'habitable et du convoyage, d'abord, à l'Ecole nationale de voile où il passe son brevet d'Etat, ensuite, il se lance, après de nombreuses régates en équipage, dans le circuit mini : 4 saisons d'apprentissage, avant d'être recruté comme petite main chez Groupama, pour des coups de main techniques ponctuels. Toujours dispo, toujours candidat, il finit par être embarqué comme technicien et navigateur de moins de 30 ans remplaçant d pour la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012 remportée par l'équipe de Franck Cammas.Le solide gaillard, connu pour son impact physique et son engagement, change de dimension, le téléphone se met à sonner : l'équipe Spindrift l'appelle pour naviguer sur l'ex Maxi Trimaran Banque Populaire, puis c'est Alvimedica qui l'engage pour la Volvo 2014-2015 - où il court, cette fois, toutes les étapes sauf une - avant de retourner boucler un Trophée Jules Verne avec Spindrift, sans parler des circuits GC32 et match racing avec l'équipage de Yann Guichard.Il passe ensuite au solo en Claass40 mais doit abandonner le Rhum 2018, enchaîne avec la Solitaire l'année suivante avant d'être recruté par Romain Attanasio sur son projet Imoca. C'est là que son projet de Vendée Globe prend corps, un peu ralenti par le Covid l'année suivante. En 2021, il accomplit une nouvelle saison avec Romain Attanasio, sur l'ex-Malizia, goûtant au foiler, mais il est temps de voler de ses propres ailes en Imoca : en 2022, il achète l'ancien Delta Dore à Erik Nigon et se lance dans les qualifs du Vendée Globe, montant une petite équipe commando qui l'emmène au départ avec le plus vieux bateau de la flotte.Un Vendée Globe où il prend du plaisir, malgré une remontée de l'Atlantique difficile, et qui lui donne immédiatement envie de recommencer ! Mais pas à n'importe quel prix, lui qui sait les sacrifices que demande cette épreuve : pour 2028, Sébastien veut jouer avec les foilers, visant un bateau d'occasion de la génération 2020 et un budget largement redimensionné. Trois mois après son retour, il y travaille déjà - "le large me manque".Diffusé le 5 Mai 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

8/8: AI Valley: Microsoft, Google, and the Trillion-Dollar Race to Cash In on Artificial Intelligence Hardcover – March 25, 2025 by  Gary Rivlin  (Author) 1886 JULES VERNE

Ingrid vous parle de ses romans préférés (et vous lit un extrait à la fin de l'épisode). Au XIXe siècle, un génie de la presse a inventé le roman-feuilleton : des histoires sous la forme d'épisodes publiés quotidiennement dans le journal. Les romanciers de l'époque ont donc dû créer des œuvres accessibles à un public très large et avec du suspens qui donne envie de découvrir à tout prix l'épisode suivant. Certaines des œuvres créées dans ces conditions sont devenues des grands classiques de la littérature française, écrites par des grands auteurs comme Émile Zola, Honoré de Balzac, Alexandre Dumas, Jules Vernes, George Sand...

2/2: #HOTEL MARS: SPACE LAW ON THE MOON. LAURA MONTGOMERY, DAVID LIVINGSTON. 1886 JULES VERNE

Alone in a world buried by endless snow and ice the last man on Earth drifts through a twilight of silence and memory. Time has lost all meaning... The Coming of the Ice by G. Peyton Wertenbaker. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.The year was 1926 and although there had been science fiction stories in magazines, there had never been an entire magazine devoted to science fiction. Hugo Gernsback was the man who would change the course of science fiction with the birth of Amazing Stories magazine which began publishing in April 1926. In case you were wondering the Hugo Award is named after this sci-fi pioneer. The first two magazines were filled with reprints, stories that had already been published, by Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and Edgar Allen Poe among others. G. Peyton Wertenbaker's short story The Man From the Atom appeared in that first issue but it too was a reprint, having been previously published 8 months earlier in Science and Invention magazine which was also published by Gernsback.Wertenbaker was born in New Castle, Delaware in 1907, he wrote a handful of sci-fi stories and then turned his attention to other pursuits, literary and otherwise. He served on the editorial board of Fortune magazine from 1933 to 1938, and became a contributing editor to Time Magazine in 1939. During World War Two he served as an air combat intelligence officer in the Pacific. In 1958 he joined NASA as a speechwriter, eventually becoming chief historian of the Aerospace Medical Division. The story you are about to hear was the first original paid story to appear in Amazing Stories in June 1926 on page 232, The Coming of the Ice by G. Peyton Wertenbaker…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Of all the irksome, frustrating, maddening discoveries—was there no way of keeping it discovered? Forever by Robert Sheckley.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV===========================

DOGE ON MARS. 4/4: For the Love of Mars: A Human History of the Red Planet  by  Matthew Shindell  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Love-Mars-Human-History-Planet/dp/0226821897/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Mars and its secrets have fascinated and mystified humans since ancient times. Due to its vivid color and visibility, its geologic kinship with Earth, and its potential as our best hope for settlement, Mars embodies everything that inspires us about space and exploration. For the Love of Mars surveys the red planet's place in the human imagination, beginning with ancient astrologers and skywatchers and ending in our present moment of exploration and virtual engagement.   National Air and Space Museum curator Matthew Shindell describes how historical figures across eras and around the world have made sense of this mysterious planet. We meet Mayan astrologer priests who incorporated Mars into seasonal calendars and religious ceremonies; Babylonian astrologers who discerned bad omens; figures of the Scientific Revolution who struggled to comprehend it as a world; Victorian astronomers who sought signs of intelligent life; and twentieth- and twenty-first-century scientists who have established a technological presence on its surface. Along the way, we encounter writers and artists from each of these periods who take readers and viewers along on imagined journeys to Mars.   By focusing on the diverse human stories behind the telescopes and behind the robots we know and love, Shindell shows how Mars exploration has evolved in ways that have also expanded knowledge about other facets of the universe. Captained by an engaging and erudite expert, For the Love of Marsis a captivating voyage through time and space for anyone curious about Curiosity and the red planet. 1868 JULES VERNE
