    Planet Earth has been a familiar concept for a mere fraction of recorded history. Until about the mid-1600s, most humans thought of Earth as immobile, likely either dim or simply invisible from the Moon or anywhere else in the heavens, and not (like the planets) participating in what Galileo called "the dance of the stars." A Universe of Earths retraces the exhilarating story of how all that changed, and how we came to perceive the Earth as a "wandering star."  It's a story that has vastly augmented and enriched our understanding of how Earth and its inhabitants fit into the big picture of the Cosmos.But almost as soon as humans started to grasp that Earth is a planet, many also began wondering if perhaps the other planets might be earths. This bold conjecture ignited the whole gripping history and literature of space travel, of extraterrestrials, of other worlds. And yet the thesis that the Universe is full of other worlds like Earth has from the start been fueled more by imagination than by scientific evidence. 
    A Universe of Earths offers a surprising alternative to that "other worlds" account, one that releases humans not only from the pre-Copernican view of Earth as low, lowly, dark, a cosmic sump, but also from the persistent modern aspersion of Earth as cosmically ordinary, "mediocre," "dethroned."

    In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Susan Casey, a premiere chronicler of the aquatic world, highlights the complexity and ecological importance of the ocean's depths as she shares her personal and historical perspectives on exploring its mysteries. She points out that we are oddly unacquainted with its depths and importance, which make up more than 70% of Earth’s surface, notwithstanding its depth. She also reports on diving to the pulsing night-club-like life of the Twilight Zone (600-3300 feet) that is filled with bioluminescent creatures that sparkle and glow. Despite these delights, Casey points to the terrestrial bias and the lack of funding for ocean exploration compared to space. There is a need for a better understanding of the ocean's role in regulating the planet's chemistry before engaging in any large-scale mining, which could have severe consequences for the ocean's ecosystem. 
    Susan Casey is the author of several books including: Devil's Teeth: A True Story of Survival and Obsession Among American’s Great White Sharks (Henry Holt 2005)The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean (Doubleday 2010)Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins (Anchor 2016)Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean (Doubleday 2023)

    When Robert Zubrin published his classic book The Case for Mars a quarter century ago, setting foot on the Red Planet seemed a fantasy. Today, manned exploration is certain, and as Zubrin affirms in The New World on Mars, so too is colonization. 
     
     
     
    We will settle on Mars, and with our knowledge of the planet, analyzed in depth by Dr. Zubrin, we will utilize the resources and tackle the challenges that await us. What we will we build? Populous Martian city-states producing air, water, food, power, and more. Zubrin's Martian economy will pay for necessary imports and generate income from varied enterprises, such as real estate sales—homes that are airtight and protect against cosmic space radiation, with fish-farm aquariums positioned overhead, letting in sunlight and blocking cosmic rays while providing fascinating views. Zubrin even predicts the Red Planet customs, social relations, and government that will overcome traditional forms of oppression to draw Earth immigrants. 
     
      
     
    With all of this in place, Zubrin's Red Planet will become a pressure cooker for invention, benefiting humans on Earth, Mars, and beyond. We can create this magnificent future, making life better, less fatalistic. The New World on Mars proves that there is no point killing each other over provinces and limited resources when, together, we can create planets.
