Book Review
“The Future of Humanity”
by Michio Kaku
We are entering new
Golden Age of space explo-
ration. Formerly the domain
of fiction, moving human
civilization to the stars is
increasingly becoming a sci-
entific possibility — and a
necessity, if one day we are
forced to leave Earth.
World-renowned phys-
icist and futurist, Dr. Mi-
chio Kaku, in his latest book
“The Future of Humanity,”
explores in rich, intimate
detail a compelling vision of
how humanity may develop
a sustainable civilization in
outer space. He reveals the
developments in robotics,
nanotechnology and bio-
technology that may allow
us to terraform and build
habitable cities on Mars and
beyond.
He then journeys out of
our solar system, where sci-
entists have found numer-
ous planets orbit-ing neigh-
boring stars and may soon
find the holy grail of astron-
omy: a twin of the Earth. He
discusses new technologies
such as nanoships, laser sails
and fusion rockets that may
actually make interstellar
travel a possibility, opening
up new frontiers to human
civilization.
Kaku investigates some
of the hottest topics in sci-
ence today, including warp
drive, wormholes, hyper-
space, parallel universes and
the multiverse. With irre-
pressible enthusiasm and a
deep understanding of the
cutting-edge research in
space travel, in “The Future
of Humanity,” Kaku takes
readers on an exhilarating
and inspiring journey to
a future in which human-
ity may finally fulfill its
long-awaited destiny among
the stars.
Endowment Books
On Display
A large number of the En-
dowment Books first pre-
sented last week are now
on display and ready for
check out in the library’s
center display as well as on
the “new book” shelves. The
purchase of these books are
made possible by contribu-
tions to the Siuslaw Public
Library’s Book Endowment
Fund, administered by the
Western Lane Communi-
ty Foundation. The Fund
was established in the early
1990’s with a contribution
from the Friends of the Li-
brary, who have made suc-
cessive contributions since
then, as well as numerous
individual and community
organization donors.

A follow-up program the

uralists along the trail to

“Ghosts in the Kelp: Sea
Otters on the Oregon
Coast”
On Saturday, June 30,
at 1 p.m., join Robert
Bailey, board president of
the Elakha Alliance, to dis-
cuss the history of sea otters

ecological and cultural im-
