Sagan Day Celebration with Sci-Fi-Fantasy author, DJ Nold. November 9, 2008

Ancient human beings packed around the mythic flames of the communal fire, warmed and lit against the clawed, fanged night, fall silent in the shaman’s tales, their eyes and his, fixed upon the stars.

“Star-stuff,” Carl Sagan would say of humanity in his Emmy award-winning PBS series, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Sagan, while recognizing the role the stars once played in the creation myths of ancient cultures, reminded us that our bodies and minds are literally, and perhaps ironically, made from pilgrim particles of energy, born in the belly of every star. The late Carl Sagan, born November 9th, 1934, was one of the most influential advocates of natural science in the twentieth century.

This November 9th, celebrate Sagan Day at Amicus Books, hosted by a shaman of our very own, Sci-Fi-Fantasy author, DJ Nold. Nold has written two books, Raven’s Fate and True Companions, chronicling the adventures of telempathic extra-terrestrial, Raven Nighthunter. From 12:00pm to 3:00pm, during that time celebrants can expect 15% off science, sci-fi and fantasy books, and partake in a cosmic smattering of delectables and a sprinkle of star-stuff from DJ Nold.
