The following resources and titles provide an additional look at the topics of this month's talk for you to explore further (along with some fiction titles just for fun). Enjoy!
In honor of the title of this month's talk, we offer classic works set at the Earth's core: Jules Verne's A Journey To The Center Of The Earth and the Edgar Rice Burrough's series set in the hollow world of Pellucidar:
Pellucidar is "a world within our world, a place where the horizon curves upward and merges with the sky. Here time stands still, for Pellucidar is illuminated by a miniature sun that never sets but hovers motionless in the sky." Did Burroughs unwittingly foreshadow the 1936 discovery of the Earth's core to serve as Pellucidar's "sun"?
