David Baron writes about science, nature, and the American West. His classic THE BEAST IN THE GARDEN tells a harrowing true story of people and mountain lions in Colorado. AMERICAN ECLIPSE recounts the forgotten tale of a total solar eclipse that crossed the West in 1878 and lured many of the era’s great scientists to the wild frontier. His latest book, THE MARTIANS—set largely in Flagstaff, Arizona—unearths the bizarre story of astronomers at the turn of the last century who convinced themselves and the American public that the red planet was home to an advanced civilization, spawning a Mars craze that inspired science fiction and helped launch the space age. David previously worked as a science correspondent for NPR, served as Chair in Astrobiology at the Library of Congress, and has written for The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. An avid eclipse chaser, his TED Talk on the subject has been viewed more than 2 million times.
