October - Booked For Lunch - Brings Technology Librarian, Dave Fischer to library!


 
We had a great Booked for Lunch this week. Dave Fischer of the Northwest Kansas Library System enlightened us on the literary acumen of Clive Cussler. I did not know that this author was given a PhD due to his scholarly writing on the book “Sea Hunters.” He is also the founder for the organization, National Underwater Marine Agency (NUMA). This group searches for treasures in the sea. They have found quite a few vessels including a civil war submarine. Cussler has written about these adventures through the series call “The Numa Files. He also has done some historical type fiction on the most recent book published, “The Tomb.” It is about Attila the Hunn. Clive has done historical fiction on other characters such as NapolĂ©on Bonaparte. I was sufficiently impressed that I may have to read a book or two of his.
