Chasing total solar eclipses has taken Silvia and her family from the familiar landscapes of the U.S. to the remote beauty of Papua New Guinea. With this heartfelt and scientifically accurate book, Silvia hopes to inspire and ignite the spirit of curiosity in a new generation of budding eclipse chasers.
