"In this entertaining and informative book, science writer Till Hein shares the most tantalizing findings from the world of seahorses, and the role they have played in human culture. He reveals their secrets, from their intriguing biological features and hunting strategy to their use in medicine throughout history, their appearances in Greek and Celtic mythology, and even the medieval belief that they descended from dragons.

Endlessly fascinating and charmingly approachable, The Curious World of Seahorses will captivate any reader looking to learn more about one of the most incredible creatures on Earth."

It is recommended, but not required that you read the book. All can participate in discussion.

The Science Book Club meets at Eastbank Regional Library in the Audiovisual Room on the second floor.

IMPORTANT: We will meet at the Wagner Library Branch in Metairie at 6646 Riverside Dr. close to Power Blvd. this month.

Prepare to be amazed and entertained by black holes, the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, exploding stars, and planets being created and destroyed before your very eyes. You will come to understand why, in seven Jurassic movies, the engineers were never able to build strong enough containment walls! If it’s mayhem and destruction you want, you’ll see it here on a galactic scale!

**Doors open at 2:30pm for refreshments. Program begins at 3pm.**

Our speaker will be John Patrick Lestrade, Ph.D. He has spoken to NOSHA several times over the years and is a former board member. He is a professor emeritus in the department of Physics and Astronomy at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi.
