An Evening With Author Mary Roach

Join us for an evening with author Mary Roach. The author will be reading from her new book, Packing for Mars. "Popular science writer Roach entertainingly addresses...life in outer space. There is much good fun with- and a respectful amount of awe at- the often crazy ingenuity brought to the mundane matters of surviving in a place not meant for humans. ... A delightful, illuminating grab bag of space-flight curiosities." -Kirkus Starred Review

Roach has also written Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers; Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife; and Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex. Books will be available for purchase from co-sponsor M is for Mystery Bookstore.
